Soft flour tortillas are underrated as an all-purpose sandwich casing.

I’m entertained by the idea of a divine plane working on Mega Man rules, where after you kill a boss you get its weapon for yourself.

If you’re wearing shoes you aren’t barefoot. The expression “barefoot shoes” makes about as much sense as “naked shirts.”

I live around 40 miles from where I was born.

My home is where I am and who I’m with now. My spawn point is somewhere I managed to survive long enough to stage my successful escape.

I used to be a huge soda drinker when I was younger, but in my middle age I’ve almost entirely switched to seltzer with a little juice thrown in.

This comment is so good I’m going to sell an NFT of it.

They pad the packing peanuts crate out with brand new furniture.

Even if you are purchasing a 1 euro home, expect to spend between €2,500 - €6,000 for associated fees and taxes. This amount will depend on a variety of factors including size and location of the property.

Probably A Night at the Opera by Queen, which was the first album I ever bought with my own money. A ton of classic tracks, lots of tonal range, weirdass spatial effects from early-era screwing around with stereophonic production, and a hell of a good time any day of the week.

The best thing about badminton is saying the word “shuttlecock.”

Throw in a Linux VM running under Windows and intensify the Inception noise.

those kids do it for a hobby

The pageants are the parents’ hobby. The kids are whisked into it at a vulnerable stage of development in which they don’t have the agency to decide any of it for themselves.

The trouble with something like that is we already have the 90s Mario movie, and the actors’ performances (visual as well as voice) and the delightfully bonkers direction and production design are the best things about it. There’d be absolutely no benefit to throwing everything but the soundtrack out and redoing it line-by-prerecorded-line as a cartoon, when if you want a Mario cartoon which looks like the games you can more easily just make a new cartoon (which is what they did.)

Same. The principal and vice principals at the last high school I attended were also the football coaches. Going to them about how the jocks were kicking the shit out of me for being too nerdy and queer for their tastes got me that same “just keep a lower profile” bullshit from the highest authority figures in that dump.

This can also be good advice for dealing with adults.

And you get to be the genius who fixed the Internet for everyone living there. Nice one!

Put on some John Waters movies and load the karaoke machine with lots of Cher and Elton John.

The big thing about Fair Use/Fair Dealing is it’s not automatic protection from any sort of consequence, lawsuit, or prosecution. It’s only a possible defense you can try using once you’re in court about it, and there are no guarantees it’ll work out for you.

Fair Use/Fair Dealing has never been the magic “you can’t do anything to me” protection many people seem to think it is. A judge has every ability to decide what you did wasn’t a fair use and judge against you.

Not to mention that zillions of underage kids have their own legit cards nowadays.
