The first 3 weeks were agony

Yup. Nobody talks about this! You have to break in your legs and build some strength, but it does get better.

Crocs. Stupid-ass looking crocs will absolutely save you when at a standing desk. Or really, standing for a long time on any hard surface like a concrete office floor. The next best thing would be high-end business shoes designed for comfort while you deliver powerpoint all day, or just hiking boots. But crocs are really the most comfortable and are easy to slip off for more appropriate dress shoes if you’re in an office.

Thicker and softer than any standing mat, they freaking deliver. And you can move around without having to be perfectly positioned in a small area. Also, there’s no mat to get in the way of your chair when you sit down.

Tuta (formerly Tutanota) has worked well for me.

The old internet was a crucible for robust software. Slow, small, unreliable, the very protocols that send data over the wire and through the air had to build in all kinds of fail-safe features to even approach usefulness. From this we got things like email (POP & SMTP), internet relay chat (IRC), and the world-wide web (HTTP). Things used to be so bad, that these technologies endure as extremely over-built in the modern era. And if things get worse, it will keep working as it always has. They’ll probably stick with us because of that.

Personally, I think those are a kind of “kinkwashing” that goes on in museums. It might upset conservative donors if you straight up labeled objects as “Masturbation aid, 100 BCE” or “Sex toy, possibly used for pegging, 800 CE”.

To me, the play here is to cock-block any possibility of their base exercising empathy for others. The fact that they have escalated beyond cries of “fake news” to straight up lies, is chilling.

Out-crazying all the crazy passengers. This probably stops so many stupid rants and conversations dead in their tracks.

5/5 pro move.

He also technically killed Cell. Not even Goku or Gohan can boast that.

Unicron?

Because their boomer/gen x parents didn’t read to them as a child.

As a gen-Xer, this hurt to read. If I knew my classmates were going to grow up to be such dipshit parents, I would have slapped some sense into them. I mean, a lot of them were already pretty awful as teenagers… but, that wasn’t a phase? Man, I am sincerely, deeply sorry.

That’s 50% more eyeballs than Krillin, and Tien has a nose. Plus, he can turn triangles into squares, now that I think about it. That math checks out.

It’s a masterpiece of fan art. It’s the best way to watch that story, period.

Abridged Vegeta is my spirit animal.

Man has the personality of an ornery housecat. What’s not to love?

I am not enough of an Otaku to have this debate to any sort of conclusion; I’ll take your word for it. I do have one question though: if we discount the Saiyan hybrids and androids, what puts Tien over the top?

He’s still the strongest human alive. By Terrestrial standards, he’s indestructible.

Watch it? Hell, I’d crowdfund it if it wasn’t for the fact that Muppets are a Disney property. The House of the Mouse has more than enough cash to make this work.

FWIW, this format would work with a bunch of awkward teens at the game table.

You could also go the other way and re-release “Honor among Thieves” by constantly cutting away to the game table with hilarious die-rolls and the rest. Think: “Of Dice and Men”, or “Dorkness Rising”.

Wait until someone tells him what “Born in the USA” and “Born to Run” are really about.

What it probably feels like to remove the cup from the “cup holder”:

Much like living with ADHD, relying on technology is a godsend for navigating stuff other people find easy.

For fellow brains out there: my phone’s calendar and reminders supplement the bits of my brain that just can’t/won’t organize or tell time properly. I schedule all kinds of inane stuff and it really helps. With practice, anxiety has dropped to the occasional “where is my phone?” easter-egg hunt. My cyborg-like existence is a lot less stressful now.

In the real world: NY State has the distinction of having some of the most well-intended-yet-confusing-as-hell signage in the country. That said, PA has some of the most under-specified signage and is just is terrible for totally different reasons. Good thing navigation apps like Google Maps make it all irrelevant.

::stares at image for five minutes just to make sure I’m not missing a metal-band logo reference in there somewhere::

Oh no. I just realized it’s possible there’s a fan-made (maybe fanfic?) top/bottom chain-of-command for all of Trek. I’m also realizing that there may be something out there that sits in the space between Rule34 and Memory Bank Alpha. I mean, there’s a Lewd Trek site/database out there somewhere, right?^1

1. No, you first. I’m not doing that to my search history.
