Lisa needs braces.

Yikesaroni! Congrats on making it through.

I drive as little as I can these days, but I used to drive a lot in Chicago. Talk about aggression! It's like a game everyone is playing and you get points by being the biggest asshole who.

I live in Portland now and driving here for the first time was a real eye-opener. Still terrible in it's own ways! But at least the drivers seem to want to cooperate for safe trips all around, for the most part.

Fuck cars.

AROOOOOOO YOU KNOW ILL BE CRANKING HOGS AND THANKIN LOGS ALL WEEKEND LONG HELL YEAH TGIFF!

THE EXTRA F IS FOR FUCKING.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME MFERS.

The days are long but the years are short, it’s been said.

Not everyone operates in typical ways. Isn’t it also possible that someone started the telegram in hopes like-minded folks would join?

If a fire alarm is pulled, assume there’s a fire.

I am not religious. There are definite evils in this world though. This fuck is evil and unworthy of even another thought from any of our beautiful minds.

Though he does seem worthy of some very well-placed kicks from our beautiful feet…

Joking, of course! I know I wouldn’t want to get that close to a human cess pool - I’d rather go to a “Random Loud Noises That Are Scary To Me + Small Talk + All The Music That Grates On My Nerves” convention.

I’m just a dude from the USA and I use both pronunciations!

Tin-ite-us is my go to but I’m trying to get away from it. It makes it sound like it ends in “-itis” when I say it. This makes it sound like an inflammatory disease, which it isn’t necessarily.

Tinnit-us feels off to say, but it doesn’t imply the “-itis” part, so I’m going for it!

Tinnitus sucks!

But for anyone new to it - something helpful for me is to know that tinnitus/the ringing itself can’t physically harm you or anyone you care about.

I dunno what it was about this movie, but lil handofdumb absolutely loved it. We had a copied vhs of it and I watched it probably once a week back in the early 90s.

Maybe it was the ferrets.

Sup, Ganesh! I’m HandOfDumb :) This is a neat question you’ve asked and I’m stoked to see more answers.

I was raised in Catholicism, though my family has, largely, stopped following that specific religion so closely (though many are still religious). I don’t follow any specific religion and am unsure what I consider myself - atheist fits well enough!

Somethings that stick for me are many of the kindnesses that live within bible stories. There’s a lot of good stuff in there, of course! And most of (what I consider to be) the good stuff is along the lines of being a good person. But some of it is kinda off-beat.

Like, there’s a bit in there about a proclamation that people should forgive debts after some seemingly arbitrary amount of time (seven years?) and that really jibed with me. Not the time part, but just forgiving pals/family you might have loaned money to. If I spot a friend $5 for something, I’m not going to hold it against them and ask them to repay. If they do repay? Great! But I will never expect it and I will not be offended if they do not.

Similarly with larger sums. If I’m okay to loan it to someone, I’m okay to lose it.

Anyhoo, I think it’s awesome that you like cows :) they remind me of big ol’ dogs and I like them very much. They can teach us more than they can fill our bellies, I think!

I’m a fan of this method, lol.

When I can muster it, I treat small talk like a game rather than something to try and get out of. I have to listen for any clues that tell me how I can take the conversation from the tutorial stage to the next level. Once I think I’ve got a clue to go off, I can ask another question about the topic to see if it gets the other person talking about something deeper.

But it’s a tough game to play!
