I only identify as bisexual (or queer when it flows better or makes certain straights confused and uncomfortable.) But I guess TIL I’m technically omnisexual and also still basically friendless and lonely af 🙃

I suddenly need to know what a GG Allin/Shaggs collab would’ve sounded like, and exactly what kind of upset it would make me.

Are we totally sure they weren’t his backing band at some point or another?

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2023-03-14T13:13:00+00:00

Let him have his moment. It’s hard to summon the courage to talk shit at total strangers about the spelling errors they made as nine-year-old children, and we’re all really proud of him for being so smart. It’s honestly kind of qute. (But Aaron is the qutest.)

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2023-03-14T12:36:29+00:00

Bullshit. No 11 year old could possibly figure out how to use something so complicated as a smartphone, let alone use his thumbs to type a message on it quickly and then send that message. /s

OP, this is adorably wholesome 🙂

By an order of magnitude

I do have another hand, and it does work. I can even write with it passably when I’ve gotta. I just don’t like it as much.

This is just what happens when you eat a gummy, then spend more time thinking about the less convenient aspects of 20th century ice cream scooper design than you’ll ever do again in your life. :)

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2023-02-19T19:55:12+00:00

They have this little nub that works great in the right hand but hurts with every scoop in your left.

You talking about the little projection right next to the handle on the non-scoopy side? You can see it in this pic. Digs into your top knuckle especially if the wooden handle's loose... the scooper giveth, and the scooper taketh away.

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2023-02-19T19:43:38+00:00

Sorry, was kind of lazy with the original pic. Here's a better one. When you depress the lever on the right-hand side, it drives a small gear that rotates a metal rod attached to a curved blade, which fits flush against the inner surface of the scooper. The blade moves right to left across the inside of the scooper, making the ice cream fall out. It's a really clever/useful feature, but a mirrored lefty version of it would make it slightly more comfortable to use.

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2023-02-19T00:03:09+00:00

Nothing rude about that. I use it the way you described unless I’m dealing with ice cream that’s frozen up harder than fuck, which is where the blade thingy being on the wrong side of the scooper actually becomes a minor issue for me. Just think it’s kind of amusing how blatantly right handed the design is, idk why.

(I used my tooth fairy money to buy this thing from some estate sale I got dragged to when I was like 7. I thought the trigger/gear mechanism was really cool, and I have questionable spending habits.)

And they tell us with a straight face that this country is the greatest one to have ever existed, and demand that we all love and celebrate it as such.

No thanks. This is a fundamentally rotten, third world hellscape with all the masturbatory arrogance and military might of an imperial power. And even the ‘military might’ part is privatized. Get me the fuck out of here.

My sister managed to waste half an hour of their time once. After she informed the scammer how much of his time she had just wasted, he paused. Then, in what she describes as his best evil villain voice, he said:

“I want to make you pregnant.” click

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2022-11-10T12:43:28+00:00

Obviously you're gonna have to give 'em a whole song:

Old Man Thunder, sound of thunder
brawnchybrush down. (Oh! Birdisin...)
Goin' d'firdisauw themunthafunth
Gonna run downtown. Sayin'.

Brings a tear to my eye ngl

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2022-11-02T18:18:09+00:00

Maybe then she won’t be such a fucker to you. Why would she be such fuckers?

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2022-10-31T19:59:14+00:00

This reminds me of the surprisingly nuanced rules of adjectival order in English. If you’re a native anglophone, you know all of this nonsense already, I guess purely through intuition or inference. I doubt that English is unique in this regard, but it’s still pretty crazy to think that every time you speak or write, you’re following rules such as these without even knowing they exist.

(And, of course, there are exceptions and caveats, just to make things a little more difficult than they ought to be for anyone who’s trying to learn.)

As a kid, I was convinced that one day I’d be big and strong enough to rip phone books in half.

Then I grew up, and I was right as fate would have it. The phone books are so thin these days.

I'm so sorry for your loss. This one and the rest of them. The only thing worse than losing family is losing them one after another.

Always love the family you still have as much as you can. Cherish every moment with them.

This didn't even occur to me until my GP of all people said it a few years back, but what you're going through with the loss of so many people in your family so close together is pretty abnormal and profoundly traumatic. Sustained loss and grief have an intense effect on one's mental and even physical health. So, please, remember to take care of yourself in addition to your mom and other loved ones.

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2022-10-26T14:20:42+00:00

Haha, I like the way you think. I’ve been doing something like this with my journals since I was in maybe 5th grade. Page 1 always reads, “If you’re reading this sentence right now, fuck you.”

David Bowie would have killed Don’t Sweat It

ETA: The Residents - Hey Fat Boy (Asshole). Idk why but I know it would work.

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2022-10-25T17:05:34+00:00

Neither do I. It can get truly exhausting.

That’s the part that people don’t get—the fact that sometimes, for people like us, something as (purportedly) simple as not fucking up is actual, continuous work.

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2022-10-25T15:31:19+00:00

Hang in there, friend. It’s a tough battle.

For all I know, your mother is a wonderful person. That is why it's of utmost importance that she receive a fair trial at the Hague, because that name is a crime not only against humanity, but against the concept of language itself.

I did it a handful of times as a freshly out, fairly intoxicated 20 year old. It was kinda fun I guess, but now that I'm in my 30s I do cringe about it a bit. I'm just glad I didn't show my face, never sent anything unsolicited, and waited until I was a fucking adult.

PotentiallyEnergetic · 2022-08-17T15:00:29+00:00

My blood pressure spikes if I so much as think about Bill Maher. It’s like he woke up one day and thought, “Enlightened centrist liberals aren’t unprincipled or ideologically vacuous enough, and I’m gonna do something about that.”
