My wife just got a research grant, and the panelists who reviewed her application sent back a summary of why they think my wife and her research are great.
I'm not fighting back tears of pride and joy, no sir.
I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
I am betting that the helicopter parents crashing a job interview is not actually a thing. It probably happened like once, they had some pages to fill, and hey presto an article about it being a thing.
This must be a late-period millennial thing. I was born in 1986 and have never heard of this, ever. Fuckin' 90s kids.
I've heard of it as a fable, or old wives tale. Not even remotely as "everyone has had this happen once". The article says anyone after 81 is a mellinial, which be born shortly after that, didn't consider myself as one.
I always feel like each generation as conceived in pop culture is too long and encompasses many different mini-eras.
Did kids who grew up watching scratched Jurassic Park DVDs have the same millennial experience as kids who were downloading entire seasons of cartoons on their parents' massive bandwidth connections?
Yeah. Like, our first modem was a 14.4. I remember stepping up to 28.8, 56.6, etc as big deals. Then we got cable internet and it was mind blowing.
But there are people in my same "generation" who never heard the modem dial tone.
Or my wife works with kids, and they ask her what the hell she's talking about when she says she's going to "tape" something on TV. They have no concept of pre-DVR or on-demand times. But I guess those are mostly post-millennials by now.

i have to talk to a baptist minister in a couple minutes about setting up his SEO program
'so uh, what words would you like to rank for? how about.....'Jesus' ?

Who the fuck even does this, really? Is this a thing?
i mean, i guess it's a perverse extension of the "parents who do their children's homework" thing, so it makes sense i guess?
in any case i dont see how someone who shows up to an interview with their parent, or relies on their parent to negotiate a salary, or etc, is in any way employable
Isn't China like, big into this? Like the new middle class is wildly overcompensating in trying to get their kids to succeed?

lol if you type in the term 'jesus' and his city name then the first 10 results are all the LDS church
'lol sorry bro what can i say they have a good website, have you tried reading the book of mormon?'

My dad actually screwed up one of my job applications by walking into some office and demanding that people listen to his explanation about why I am great and why they should hire me.
I had a decent chance of interviewing with that office before then!
He still doesn't understand that what he did hurt my chances.

So there is an otherkin living in my neighborhood.
Walking home from grocery store yesterday, fairly good looking guy, cares about grooming (had a good haircut, clean shaven) then I saw the fox ears. And the long jacket which was covering the fursuit... and the tail poking out from the back from the split in the jacket...
I am not picking on the guy per se, but I still find the shit hilarious and sad at the same time whenever I see it.
Not to go too tumblr here but "otherkin" implies that they think they are the creature in question mentally/spiritually/whatever, but in the absence of knowing that about him "fursuiter" is the most accurate word.
I can't say I find someone wearing that on the street all that sad. I knew a guy once who wore one to a job interview at an anime shop. That was sad.

I can't wait to see what advances will come in the field of robot nunchaku.

Yeah, it just send uselessly broad given the rates of technological and so yak change.
Wikipedia: "Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western Post–World War II baby boom. Demographers, historians and commentators use beginning birth dates from the early 1960s to the early 1980s."
A kid who got a ride to the record store in a rusty Chevelle to buy black sabbath's new album is the same generation as Me listening to MOD tracker cracktro songs while browsing usenet?
Some chatter who was not in 1987 is the same generation as my cousin Sean's kid who was born in 1999?

abloo abloo
My boss is on an April fools' spree and trying to prank our two national
Sales managers who are working on the road this week
think i made the candidate nervous
he started out promising and then started fucking up and i was like wtfffff i thought u were good
but he sort of saved it so he was definitely good enough and i suspect the fuckups were just communication issues
I'm not fighting back tears of pride and joy, no sir.

ludious is just crass most of the time and his jokes are much more personal
dude just insulted an entire ethnicity of mostly dead people on like 6 levels
The dice rolling is the hard part.

that system can be super great
the one kosh is running is like a novel or something we are all super invested in our characters as characters and their arcs and stuff
It's from last year, I think.

FTFY
i haven't read all of fifth but basics are
roll pool of d6s
success of 5+
count number of 1s rolled, if higher than successes you have a critical glitch
the number of dice you roll is attribute + skill to a max of some arbitrary limit
there is a little more than that, but those are the basics
All races consist of mostly dead people.
*Mind blown*
nice.

I have decided that we won't be playing Ryuutama
please check your inboxes as I have sent you a primer on how to roll your FATAL characters
it's a scant 200 pages, should be no problem
You're right, my bad.
I formally request a transfer to simon's group
A joke sprung to my mouth, but good taste vetoed it.
roll for anal circumference
It's got a vaginal depth chart too, right?
Yeah, it's pretty much always been lame.
It looks like Slashdot didn't even do anything this year, and they were usually one of the decent ones.
the ones where who you are, who you know, and what you have all mean more than what you can do
