Thursday, I don’t care about you

No, of course it’s not healthy. I’m just saying it’s not violent.

In a marriage/committed partnership, I think most people would consider a fight to be an argument with raised voices and some ill feeling. I really don’t think most people consider shouting to be violent. Upsetting, maybe, but violent?

What the fuck.

Grab your dick and double-click

By the time NYE rolls around, I’m tired of festivities, not just because my social battery gets deleted, but also because the food served at gatherings really sets off my IBS. This time of year I opt out of as much holiday stuff as I can without upsetting anyone, and I almost never do anything special for the new year.

I quit my PhD program in Physics because the misery wasn’t going to be worth the eventual paycheck, especially because I refused to work for contractors in the military-industrial complex. I ended up working for a while and got an MS in Applied Statistics, which is meh. Physics actually interested me. Statistics bored the shit out of me but it was useful for the field I ended up in. But now I’m retired, which is pretty satisfying!

True! But I guess young adult readers don’t tend to be as discerning, which is why I never expect the writing to be any good.

I pronounce spigot as “spicket” but that’s normal where I’m from.

My mom had a couple of weird ones that took me a while to unlearn:

Stipend = “stipp-ind”
Antibiotics = “antee-BEE-otics”

Yeah I’m from NJ and same, but more like wooder.

Also orange = oar-inge
Florida = floor-duh

And of course glottal stops everywhere:

kitten = kih’-in
Trenton = chre’-in

Grow-sree

Yeah you’ve been away a while, we say 'oagies now.

Baggel and Beggel drive me nuts! Bay-gull or GTFO :)

Yeah but did we really expect it to actually be good?

Oh wow, complete opposite here - I thought Prometheus was hot garbage.

“Hey everybody, let’s just remove our helmets in this totally unvetted environment, we’re all scientists but trust me, this is supes safe!”

“Aw look at the little alien snake, so cute, better get real close!”

“I’m clearly showing symptoms of exposure to some alien pathogen, but let’s just hide it from the entire crew, including my girlfriend, who I will be fucking.”

“Oh, a huge ring is rolling toward me and I’m gonna get crushed, better keep running in a straight line!”

I mean, come on.

To be honest, isn’t it a ‘Young Adult’ book, i.e., intended for preteens/teens, not adults?

Cake - No Phone

Looks like Boris Johnson.

They’d have to prove there was a plan.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes I try not correcting/redoing the thing that was bothering me, and it makes me feel vaguely uncomfortable/unsettled. It’s like I fixate on it.
