Look, all I want is for my shit to work and work every time. I drive a car from the 90s. I go out of my way to buy handheld electronics that take standard cell batteries. I’m writing this while shitting in a toilet made in 1972. I don’t mind things being a little out of date as long as they just work.

Anyway, guess my distro.

[pat pat] yup, she ain’t going nowhere.

You’re either the kind of person who reads their emails in real time and freaks if that little blue number ever reads “2” or you’re the kind of person who selects their entire inbox and marks it as read twice a decade.

My wife is the former. I am the latter. I get too much junk. I go through my inbox a few times a day, read what looks important, and ignore the rest. I have 2,174 unread emails in my inbox and a folder called “auto junk” with 5,116 in it.

Sure, but do those other droids tend to accompany each other everywhere in the galaxy?

My wife has already put up our Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year’s/Valentine’s Day/Easter tree.

It doesn’t, though? I’ve sent cash through the washer plenty of times. How else am I supposed to launder my money?

(Also, I thought it was pretty clear my original comment was a joke, but whatever dude lol)

Must be in Canadian dollars. Everyone knows their money is fake.

I don’t know if it’s ADHD, autism, a combination of both, or something else entirely, but I have very specific routes when driving. For instance, most of my drives in town are to the grocery store. I take the same route every time without fail. If I am taking certain turns, I am going to the grocery store.

Sometimes, my wife will need to visit the crafts store nearby. It’s a very similar route, except for one specific turn that I skip. We will get in the car, and she will have to remind me 9 times out of 10 to not take the specific turn that goes to the grocery store. Because the routine is that if I take turns A, B, and C, then turn D to the grocery is what naturally follows. It’s not because I’ve forgotten we’re going to the crafts store (though I probably have). It’s because if I’ve taken these specific turns, I must be driving to the grocery store.

It’s almost muscle memory at this stage. She’ll see my pinky reach for the turn signal and holler DON’T. And yes, it has to be loud and abrupt because if not, odds are I won’t process it in time and we will be driving to the grocery store.

My great-grandmother just died this year at 100 years old. She was still driving after 90, and she was perfectly competent at it in the farm town where I grew up. Her daughter, on the other hand, is a horrible driver. I mean, shaky on the wheel, stabby on the pedals, and just looking everywhere but forward. I’d be amazed she hasn’t been involved in some horrible wreck except for the fact that she rarely leaves the house. Being 80 will do that to you, I suppose.

I cohabitated with my girlfriend for 5 years. We’re happily married now. One of the first things she did was make a cross stitch that says “No longer living in sin” with our anniversary on it.

It’s beautiful.

Words like comeuppance and conniption? Bunghole? Squeegee? Hoedown? Poppycock?

English has words I’m sure English speakers find funny/ridiculous.

Living in tornado alley, having a TV antenna and a weather radio is almost a requirement. If the Internet gets knocked out, OTA still works. Also, my Internet is shit so I wouldn’t rely on it if a tornado is bearing down on my location, but I do also love watching 9½ hours of nonstop tornado coverage when nasty storms might come my way.

Outside of that, I know to tune in at about :15 past the hour during newscasts to catch the weather report, which gets uploaded to their website later anyway. If the football game is on, I might catch that if I care to watch. I don’t really watch OTA otherwise.

But I’m 32 lol

German: “There are like…a lot of different ways to say ‘the’ based on case and gender and you’d better believe most answers you might come up with as a non-native speaker are wrong.”

English: “THE is THE!”

Seriously, English has its flaws, but the simplification of article adjectives is one area where it shines.

I used to cringe every time I saw an itasha car. But hey, not my car. If it makes them happy and it’s not disproportionately negatively affecting others’ safety, then it’s actually kinda sick.

I couldn’t do it myself. I also haven’t been into anime for several years, but I do love me a JDM neoclassic.

I stared at the bottom right for a solid 30 minutes before my wife peeked over my shoulder and said something really smart. That one was a doozy

Don’t know why the downvotes. You are absolutely correct.

My fridge doesn’t even have a screen, but it has wifi. Wifi!! You do one thing. You are a box designed to keep my food cold. I set the temperature, and I forget that exists.

Anyway, we bought it when we bought our house. The previous owner offered to include all the appliances in the contract so it was nice to not have to buy any appliances. But that refrigerator stays OFF my network.
