Aka WhyisitalwaysWistric aka he's just some guy you know? Just an average middle aged cis-het white (but neurospicy!) dude living in the South rapidly becoming a radicalized Marxist so that's a thing.

I saw somebody else pointing out that going after actual criminals invoices the risk of actual violent resistance. So these chicken shits are stealing 5 year olds instead. Remember when the Right thought kidnapping and child trafficking should be capital offenses?

I wanna pet my little pupper dog
I wanna take you for walks outside
I wanna pet my little pupper dog
I've got a handful of treats
And you've got big puppy feet

You know how to roll over
You know how to shake hands
You know how to sit and stay
You know how to speak on command

I got a little puppy
I got a brand new dog
He's got big puppy dog ears
He's got big puppy paws

(PUPPY!) You want us to go outside
(PUPPY!) Your cute puppy tail wags
(PUPPY!) It's time for walkies
With your leash and little blue bags

Was there ever a Kids Bop version of NIN's "Closer"?
If not, my brain has volunteered one.
I blame "Hey Riddle Riddle"

#creaturecommandos satisfies in every way except that they made inadequate use of Shohreh's ability to deliver an exquisitely crafted "fuck".

But I do love me some #girobot.

Related: Did you know Zombie follows the same chord progression in the same key? (just starting on the minor II instead of the major I, so relative minor key but otherwise the same)

Last time we ran Curse of (Le) Strahd, my chaos rogue does chaos rogue stuff, tries to tame a flying sword, draws down on Strahd, tries to get the deed/insurance paperwork for the Death House, carries around an endless water jug looking for a priest to bless it.
This time: chucks a Dire Wolf.

Two years of AP English, coming back to haunt me a quarter century later, while driving home from drop-off: "wait... Is the White Stripes' 'Hardest Button to Button' actually a critique of 1980s conservative demagoguery?"

The Lad is home sick for the 2nd day. Usually school starts with the teacher singing Country Roads. The Lad likes his predictability. So I got out the guitar and sang Country Roads, which he appreciated. He didn't appreciate when I snuck in Wagon Wheel and Let it Be mid-song. 'tism v. 'tism - fight!

TIL: in WW1 soldiers "borrowed" crossbows from Flemish museums and modified them to launch grenades into German trenches. Just something to think about, medievalists.

We're starting to roll out SOPs under our new designation (Data Solutions). So, the first is DS-1 SDLC Process. I doubt department leadership will agree to it, but I'm still hoping for DS-2 Nutz. Because I really want to refer some people to that SOP.

A couple years go by and one day you think "this project would be easier with a plane than with a sander..." and...

"Works" is still works!

Now Imma go cut down an oak tree and make a bench. Just gotta figure out what a dovetail is!

But it's not like you're taking up period woodworking any time soon. So every now and then you tinker with it - clean up the blade, fill some cracks, glue some others, oil it, etc. identify the next issue to fix and think "yeah I'll get to that sooner or later."

So you want to try hand-planing boards, but not enough to actually get tools that work because you definitely don't need another hobby. If you're me you buy a $20 Cracker Barrel wall-hanger off Marketplace. And, yep, it doesn't work, cause age and fire damage and stuff.

"Well you have your own Reddit thread."
"Which is titled, like, 'Who the fuck is Wistric and what the fuck is going on.'"
"True."
"To be fair, I start off every day asking the same thing."
"You should reply to the thread and ask them if they've figured anything out for you."

TBF there's a LITTLE unresolved trauma from the angel food episode.
And the "American Pie" episode.
