My brother found a spoon on the side of the road when he was probably 6-7 years old. Our great-grandmother washed it and it became his special spoon when we visited her. I was a couple years younger and I got jealous of his special spoon so she found another unique spoon that didn’t match any of her other silverware. That became my spoon. It stayed at her house until I was an adult. When I moved out in my own, she gifted it to me. It’s been almost 40 years. I still have it and smile every time I use it.

When I was younger, we moved around a lot, and as side effect of that, we paid for a storage unit to hold less frequently used stuff. Around the time I started high school, we managed to buy a house, and moved everything from the storage unit into our home. In it there was a picnic basket that I had never seen before. I remember looking inside and finding a horrible smelling bag of “bread” which was actually a black liquid with lumps in it. There was also some individually wrapped cheese slices which visually speaking were indistinguishable from any I could buy in the store today.

Just to give a shout out to my boss when I worked as a mechanic, I’d like to say “get the fuckin’ torch. She’s hogged up tighter than a nuns cunt” and also a “she shakes like a sick whore shiting blood”. Lastly, I’ll add “fuck you shit whore fucking cunt”

Duane, you made amazing progress in the world of profanity and you were an amazing mentor.

Thank you.

I think I was the bullet my relationships dodged. I didn’t realize how broken my childhood was and how shitty I treated my girlfriends. I don’t know what changed. Maybe it was just putting some distance between me and my family, but something let me develop a little perspective. I wish I could go back and apologize to so many exes.

Yep. This here is me.

I like them both, but im allergic to cats so I only have a dog.

I’m sure there are opinions both ways. I think the reason Fedora is the headline is because it is the more recent addition. Lenovo has had an Ubuntu option on some machines for a few years now. Fedora is a fairly recent addition.

I am going to guess a fascist did.

That’s not surprising to me at all. He seems like he would be.

I don’t remember where I was made aware of it, but it was probably this. I used to listen to NSTAAF regularly. This fact probably just got buried in the back of my head until it had the opportunity to come out now.

Yep, the same sound as when you yawn. I can make it happen without yawning. Honestly, I can only make it for 5-10 seconds before I get “tired”.

Regarding clicks …I’ve no idea what that one is.

Related: I’ve imagined a story where the obedient grunts in the military realize they just the nameless henchmen in an evil organization.

This was a really recent realization for me. I am one of the people who can voluntarily activate the tensor tympani muscles in my ears to create a low level rumbling sound. I recently tried explaining this to someone else and they still think I am making it up.

I think so. Pretty sure it’s vampire fangs and a uvula.

I hope you are wrong, but I’m not sure you are.

It took me way to long to figure out what the background was.

It kind of makes sense. Everyone else there is partying with a rock star while Freddie is just in bed with a group of random guys.

“Nothing worth mentioning, you?”

Everyone says they want their kids to be happy but acts as if it is more important for their kids to be professionally successful.

I want my kid to be successful enough to be independent and then put any additional emphasis on enjoying life.
