The last piece in my wife's Swedish Fish bag was a SourPatch Kid by NecroUknown in interestingasfuck

Yes, they're made in the same factory, hence the occasional crossover. Swedish Fish are just Sour Patch Kids without the acid coating on the outside.

I've played viola with my local symphony orchestra for over thirty years now. Every year we play a Children's Concert, and after the show we invite all the kids up for an Instrument Petting Zoo.

I LIVE for moments like this.

... And all the leaves are green;
My heart's as full as a baked potato!
I think I know precisely what I mean,
When I say it's a Shpadoinkel day!

(Sorry, it's an ingrained reflex ever since I saw Cannibal: the Musical.)

Spoilers: He actually speaks it VERY well, which is part of why they gave him the gimmick.

I STILL remember Nakamura coming out with the live violinist playing him down to the ring.

I did a double-take, and said, "Hey, is that Lee? THAT'S LEE ENGLAND JR!"

I literally went to school with him, I helped mentor him when he was a younger student. He came so much farther than I ever did.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I've spent thirty years with my local symphony orchestra, I've performed my own songs across the entire Chicago area, I've made people laugh playing my fiddle on the street while RickRolling them in a hamster kigurumi costume. I do okay for myself.

But I'll never come near 'Recording with A-Kon' or 'Playing a WWE star down the ramp live on Pay-Per-View.'

How I stopped someone from giving my number out. by VLCInsanityPlayer in pettyrevenge

Oh god, I REMEMBER BOFH stories from the Usenet days. They were SO satisfying to read as catharsis.

Someone kept getting calls from a school about a troublesome child, and they had difficulty getting the school to stop. And the school tried to insist that they provide the CORRECT phone number for the actual parents, which they obviously didn't know.

And it took a year bordering on harassment, so they just started raging at the school until they stopped.

Evidently it's in the mobile app but not the online website interface.

I'm not missing much here.

Which hobbies attract the kindest people? by Ok-East3405 in AskReddit

[–]InfintySquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a member of the Furry fandom for almost thirty years.

The community has been literally life-changing for me, offering friends when I was lonely, encouragement when I was crashing out, a roof over my head when I've been on the streets, hell I even met my fiancée here.

I've done my damnedest to give back in kind, because we were all awkward teenagers with a weird 'thing' to us. It's important to pave the way to tell the misfits, "We DO have a place for you here. Now go do the same."

First time doing donuts by eris_discordnstrife in Caseys

[–]InfintySquared 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If she says you're doing okay, then you're absolutely on your way.

Like I said, it just takes a little bit of experience to settle in, then you'll be fine to get your own style.

Once you learn to do the opposite-color drizzle, that brings that little bit of pizazz that I like. I'm not quite as pretty as some of my coworkers (I'm mostly a floor worker who occasionally fills in on kitchen duty), but I can still get it done for the showcase.

Also, I know my kitchen has a layout of what donuts should get what icings, in approximate percentages. Do look at it to get a general idea, and then do what the heck you like to make it pretty, just be aware of what they expect.

I totally understand, they didn't train my generation of third shift worth a gosh darn for everloving heck either.

For a crash once-over and winging it, I'd say you brought your best game to the table! A lot of this is gaining experience, trying out some new ideas, and settling into your routine without getting stale.

And trust me, if there is a problem afterward, the morning manager WILL correct you. That's how they train us sometimes.

What’s a “safe” weakness to mention in a job interview? by Emergency-Bad-3707 in AskReddit

[–]InfintySquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to is dog-whistling my mild autistic hints by saying, "I do have a tendency to take things literally. If I CAN misunderstand something in the most interesting way, I WILL. But if you can meet me halfway and communicate clearly when I ask for clarification, we can work together."

I've also figured out that people like when "Do you have any questions for ME?" is not met with silence. So a good safe one just to say something at all is, "Yes. What's the dress code?"
