Shit, I’m trying to remember from just the memes. Was it something like :q! or am I misremembering it?

When you’re walking alone in the dark all big burly and bearded and just hear a voice calling out sexualizing you it’s scary

The fear is from the group dynamics more than anything else. Gender almost plays no part in it. Age plays almost no part in it. There are several stories about a group of teens attacking a lone adult, and it goes just about as you’d expect. Anyone who is alone and suddenly becomes the focus of attention by a group will (and probably should) become worried, whereas if you’re in a group the (that is, your) reaction can be anything from ignoring to playing along because you have less to fear. All of us can imagine the difference between walking in a group or by yourself when getting catcalled. Most of us have probably seen the difference.

The cops won’t even bother with civil forfeiture. There’s a court case (a shitty one, more of a hearing, but it’s there) involved in that and the prosecutors will roll their eyes for $200. They’ll just put it in an evidence locker, put up a notice in a newspaper that no one will ever see, then 30 days later say that no one claimed it and then they pocket it.

Aye, nvidia makes it so something doesn’t initialize when my computer wakes up… and something that I can’t find is turning on sleep mode in a way that I can’t figure out.

Sometimes Linux does get a groan or two out of me.

Oh, those biology professors and their pet slimes…

See, but that’s the rub! Who the fuck wants to spend $50 and go to that many bars? I could get a new AAA game for that much that I’ll play for hundreds of hours. Or 10 indie games that I’ll play for longer!

Because there is a very real sentiment called “Don’t shit where you eat.” I learned it the hard way in two different workplaces. In the first one, we broke up and it ruined the work environment. In the second, the ‘no’ was expanded to HR complaints and lawsuits, again ruining the work environment. Knowing someone has (or had) romantic interest in you can be a pain, and it can definitely blow up a working relationship.

If I had the money to go to a furry convention…

Well, statistically I’d blow it all on a fursona pic, but hey, who knows?

Has there ever been a chibi plane you didn’t want to put oil in, Mr. O’Brien? Answer truthfully now.

I think your browsing habits are what did it to you, Mr. O’Brien. We did not install Warp 10+ fiber connections so you could browse anthropomorphic porn!

You won’t have a great social life, depending on how much time your job takes up on the weekends. I’m guessing you have an 8 hour workday? You’ll have to plan out your night activities in advance so you don’t get sucked into something that will make your saturday/sunday morning suck. I used to work every weekend, had my days off monday-wed, and it wasn’t great. Your adult responsibilities will love you. You’ll never have to take off to make an appointment for the doctor or for businesses that only deliver when you’d normally be working. However, your friends will always be grumpy that you can’t make the shindig they planned for the weekend, whether it’s just hanging out or going to a festival on the square.

Right? I make one groan in the office because I’m aching due to food poisoning, and it’s like I just emailed the entire floor to come make comments about me acting as if I’m dying.

Because even braking can’t avoid the crash. Unavoidable crash means bad juju if the ‘self driving’ car image is meant to stick around.

The poop knife isn’t necessarily a reddit thing… I was well aware of my relative’s knife long before reddit was conceived.

He also painted the line leading up to it, if I remember the gag correctly. The real road is off camera.

I read a biography on Oppenheimer back when I was still a youngun in school, and among the few bits of trivia I remember were Teller being vile, and lozenges were a thing.

They have some basic strategies to use there. My go to method is to create stories. I find studying to be intensely boring, and I will either zone out or just stop when it quickly gets boring. Stories, on the other hand, are exciting and fun. I definitely still have stories from twenty or thirty years ago bouncing around inside my head. Random snippets from reading books is where I get my large trove of trivia.

So for your medical terms, try creating stories that involve real world adjacent plots. Maybe the Kingdom of Aorta had a schism, and split into multiple factions vying for power. The Brachiocephalic lords went first, taking the right half of the kingdom with them, but the northern common carotids couldn’t find agreement with the subclavians on anything, so they went their separate ways. That sort of thing.

Mnemonics are amazing too. I don’t know a single person who didn’t find it easier to remember the cranial nerves after “Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel a girl’s vagina, ah, heaven!” Or the adrenal glands’ “Salt, sugar, sex, the deeper you go, the sweeter it gets” for remembering your “go fuck rats” of the cortex’s layers. Obviously the ‘carnal’ things are easier to remember because they intrigue your mind in a more powerful association. That might just be me… but it does seem like the majority of us who are playing with other people’s bodies have good sex drives.

Already did! They can’t ban my blood from helping others now, can they!

uberautism, thank you very much. You’ve got to use fancy foreign words to make your mark, don’t ya know¿

Lol, he’s right. I got measles, or… at least, an attenuated version from the FFUKCING MMR VVAccine, you dolt!
