  1. When you're cleaning your glasses and the cloth shifts ever so slightly, causing you to wipe your bare thumb across the lens, making a whole new smear to try and clean.

    Getting old sucks

    If I ever have a "blowout" at work that requires me to have to go home and take a shower, I will not be returning that day. Probably not the next day either. Matter of fact, I'm probably taking the rest of the week off.
  3. I saw Gillis last weekend, it was the funniest stand up show I have ever seen. I laughed my ass off. Also, Dave Atell was one of the openers and he was outstanding as well.
  4. My dad has been acting a tad strange the last few days, so my sister took him to the ER. Long story short, he's had some sort of stroke. They don't know exactly when, he'll have an MRI when they can supposedly tell how long ago it may have happened. His kidneys are kinda fucked up and he has a blood clot on his brain, above his right eye. They think it may have come from his Watchmen heart device. What in the actual fuck? The good news is that he's coherant, talks to the nurses, and is not a vegetable.
  5. Merch? He's been gone for 2 years. He'll have the same number when he comes back. It's not like they confiscated all the Lillard merch when he left and fans have to buy new shit.
  6. Shit, there are entire channels that America doesn't care about or even watch.
  7. Well, some African water buffaloes just killed a farmer in Oklahoma, so I guess we're even? Oklahoma farmer killed by water buffalo he bought just a day prior, police say
  8. My wife's cousin passed away last week, he was only 32. He was born with cerebral palsy and was in a wheelchair his whole life, he only had limited use of one of his arms. Never got to run and play and do anything that kids usually do. He wasn't expected to survive very long but he beat the odds. Eventually he got too big for his mother to care for him, she couldn't lift him into the bath or do any of the things he needed done, so he moved to a group home. He had an Amazon device in his room, and learned how to use Alexa. He could call his mom or grandparents whenever he wanted, just by doing the "Alexa, call ---". He was a history buff, so he would ask Alexa questions about US presidents, or football, or whatever he was thinking or talking about. He didn't need someone to hold a book in front of him or read to him. He could access that information by himself. I know there's a lot of hand-wringing about AI and all the dumb shit people do with it, but I thought it was pretty cool to hear about a way that it actually helped someone who really needed it.
  9. I used to work at a county jail. I saw a story about the jail on the local news website and during the video, they had footage of an officer opening a cell so the camera crew could look inside. I recognized the officer immediately, I worked with this guy more than 25 years ago! I left because the pay was bad and the working conditions were even worse. How the fuck anyone stays that long doing that job is beyond my comprehension.
  10. Talking on the phone at work: Person: Yeah, can you send me those documents? Me: Sure. *clicks send* I have just sent them Person (1.3 seconds later): I don't have them, why is it taking so long??? Fucking hell.
  11. People who tack on their own bullshit to someone else's social media post. "Sorry to hear your mom has passed. My own mother died in 1992, I know how bad it is! Hugs!", or "I hope you've having fun in [city]! We went there in 2005 and loved it!". Post your own shit, or better yet, STFU.

    Broke my temporary crown last night. Back to the dentist I go. Maybe I'll just have to eat nothing but smoothies for the next two weeks, fuck.

    My fucking crown shattered as I was eating last night. And it wasn't eating anything hard or crunchy, it was fucking cheetos puffs. That God it doesn't hurt but I can't really talk or chew, because my tongue gets scraped up. Getting into the dentist this afternoon, at least.
  14. He's able to hold the trophy just fine, that's what matters.
  15. After original March injury, OKC's Jalen Williams having surgery - ESPN
  16. I like how it's parked in the shade of a tree, where all mechanics would prefer it.
  17. My wife just used the word "sell" instead of "sale" in a text and I'm contemplating divorce.
  18. Jackson Mahomes agrees with this sentiment.
  19. I literally don't give a shit. People can say whatever they want, my team won it all.
  20. As a Thunder fan, I now understand what Astros fans went through after they won the world series. Fuck the haters, we got a fucking championship. Fuck Seattle, too.
  21. He was at PSU for 20+ years before they joined the B10. I doubt he waited to start diddlin' kids until they joined the league.
  22. The beeper on the microwave should immediately stop when the door is opened. The one at the office just beeps and beeps, even though you've opened the door already.
  23. I hate when a team fails to convert on 3rd down and the guy says, "They're forced to punt". No they aren't forced to punt, they can go for it every fucking time.
  24. He's a 6'8 son of a billionaire, you think he worries about getting pussy? LOL he's probably drowning it in.
  25. This is the key IMO. I had zero game and wasn't "cool" but I was never home. Once someone in my group hit 16, we we're out of the house, doing whatever the fuck we could get away with, including talking to chicks that we might not think were "hot" but dammit we were gonna go for it. The internet has definitely stunted things for both sexes.
