    a strangely high number of disappointed father memes on the internet

    i ... i wonder why that is

    our generation is a dissapointment

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    George Clooney once convinced someone on the set of The Monuments Men to take Matt Damon's costume in by a quarter of an inch each day. Damon was apparently trying to lose weight and couldn't understand why his clothes were getting tighter and tighter.

    He did the same thing to Richard Kind I think

    Also when he and Kind were roommates he cleaned out the litterbox for Kind's cat for like two weeks without telling him so he'd start to wonder if the cat was sick

    Clooney then dropped a giant deuce in the middle of the litterbox

    Work decided to start using forum software for internal communication, starting with a forum for documentation, release notes, and questions about the software I wrote as a pilot program. The forum software is actually pretty good and supports bbcode and stuff. I have admin privileges.

    It's me, my team in the US, a few german engineers using my software, and the whole china team, posting about problems. I answer questions and include pictures and stuff, which even though we are an engineering company, that makes me a wizard. I'm also slowly deleting the terrible emoticons and adding my own.

    I added the following two GIFs to the emoticon library today:
    crying_eagle.gifcrying_panda.gif

    We need these.

    They're SomethingAwful emoticons, they have a huge number of flag+animal crying gifs

    Oh man it's amazing to me that all parents don't abuse that sort of trust. My dad took it as a sacred duty to fuck with us literally every time we asked for an explanation. He told us it was his responsibility to teach us that we could depend on nothing save our own research to find answers.

    Which is why he told us snakes came out of toilets and ate bad children.

    It sucks knowing I'll never be able to use any kind of VR headset. Motion sickness precludes it.

    I feel like they're going to be working overtime figuring out solid solutions to that. They seem to give even non-motion-sick people the ills, so it's possible they'll figure out to arrange it so that it literally does not produce the sensations that make you and I ill.

    Buuuut yeah it does kinda blow to know it's a long shot.

    It's not really possible. The disconnect between what your eyes are telling your brain and what your body is telling your brain in relation to movement isn't something you can program for. Heck, I get sick on motion rides like Star Tours, because even with the motion, it doesn't sync up with the visual well enough. My body's still telling my brain it's going one way while my eyes are telling my brain it's going another, and my brain goes "Conflicting signals, you've been poisoned, evacuate stomach contents."

    We had two types of margarine in our house, the hard block kind and a soft spreadable kind.

    My parents referred to the hard type as butter, and the soft type as margarine.

    I didn't have butter until I was like 20.
