Reply to What are alternate names your parents considered for you, and out of the options do you think they made the best choice? by throwawayfjabfhw

Obviously not gonna give away my real name, but my parents claimed to have considered Matthew and David as well. According to my mother, they gave freshly-born me the option, and I apparently made a sound that most closely resembled my real name. I'm sure it's not true, but fudge it I'm sticking with that story! I'm good with my name; not a rare or uncommon name, but not super popular either.

Reply to Thoughts on Tetris? by crazycrimerate

"Tetris" is a fictional movie that tells the story of Henk Rogers' journey to bring the iconic game to the world. The film is a delightful blend of drama, humor, and suspense, with impressive attention to detail. Taron Egerton delivers a strong performance as Rogers, and Anya Taylor Joy's brilliant portrayal of Elizabeth is not to be missed. "Tetris" is an engaging movie that will appeal to fans of video games and anyone who appreciates a well-crafted story.

Reply to comment by ScummyCivicOwner in Beyond Meat? by ScummyCivicOwner

...every day's the same when you're unemployed I guess?

I suppose I should warn you of the macroeconomic headwinds facing the automotive market...slowing car sales, chip shortages, etc. but seems you've made your play already. There are certainly worse companies than HMC to park your money, and Beyond is one of them.

Godspeed, fellow regard.

Reply to A Story in Two Panels by fart_Jr

I’ll never understand why that kid’s snot is so big and so long that it’s almost touching the floor. And that any second when it hit dirt, he’s just going to snort it back up.

Reply to LPT: Distancing yourself from people can be one of the healthiest choices you can make. by incredibleinkpen

Years back I packed up and moved my family from my hometown to a new place. After I signed all the paperwork on the new house and everything I found out that an old highschool friend lived in the same town. We were tight growing up so I reached out. Turned out he had a kid the same age as mine and we were only going to live about a mile from each other. I thought it was going to be cool, being so close to a friend, kids the same age, boy was I wrong. It turns out that sometimes people don't change at all. This dude was exactly the same as in highschool. He was all about getting stoned and get-rich-quick schemes. I really didn't enjoy the time I spent with him, but figured if I'm just going to be sitting around drinking beer, might as well have someone to drink with, then it got worse. We would hang out all day Saturday, he was also one of those dudes that couldn't take the hint that it was time to leave, I'd literally be brushing my teeth for bed and he still wouldn't get it, anyways, then he would call me or text me every single day trying to hang out and would get offended if I didn't answer the phone or return his texts. I finally had to tell him that I have a job, a family, I can't hang out every single day, or even every single week. It would seem like he got it, but then the next time we hung out he'd go right back to calling and texting every day. I finally just started ignoring him outright and eventually he stopped calling and texting. Turns out his son is kind of a cock and my son didn't like hanging out with him anyways so I just wrote the whole experience off. I still live right down the street from him and run into him while out and about from time to time, I just nod and keep moving. It's kind of a shame really, he's a cool dude but his clinginess and lack of motivation in general just made him too toxic to keep in my life. At least now I don't dread my phone ringing or being in my yard fearing his car would pull up. Sometimes it's worth it cutting people out of your life.
