That Moment...

TMW a few minutes ago I had an idea for my fantasy's finale that involved my main character (Mishu), a Wild Devonian (basically a nude cat-woman), an army of the undead, and fishers/anglers fighting off a small invading force they spotted coming toward the shorelines, holding them off until the actual navy can come.

TMW I realize how stupid and absurd it is that I literally go forward it to the main Facebook pages of Volition and Saints Row thinking they could use it if they ever decide to make a Saints Row game that makes fun of fantasy tropes.

 

TMW you have to get on a plane for a stressful overnight business trip when you'd really rather stay home and write.

 

TMW you can feel your brain get deader and deader as you watch disaster coverage on TV:

Erin (news anchor): John, given the record-setting floods in Houston due to Harvey, and the fact that it's still raining and the water is still rising, and that the emergency services are overtaxed, and there's no power or water or working sewers or cell-phone towers in service, and we're already thirty-six hours into this disaster and there's no end in sight, John, how bad is it?

John (correspondent on location in Houston): Erin, it's bad. Really bad.

 

What I'm wondering is whether or not the people on the fucking boats who are filming the rescues wouldn't be of better use doing other things, like, you know, helping...instead of filming other people helping.

 

The sheriff had gotten arrested for "targeting Latinos" simply because he pulled a Latino over. He's been one of the main ones in his state for sending illegals to jail for being, well, illegal. Well, some liberal who wants all the illegals to stay told Arpaio he couldn't "target Latinos" anymore and then got him arrested for doing his job. Well, thankfully Trump decided that was ridiculous and pardoned Arpaio.

 

I know the feeling; I end up angry at the people I agree with in there, but that's where political discussions belong.

 

Ok, so Wikipedia says that, but I can go on Wikipedia and edit it to say what I want it to. Did you know public schools don't count Wikipedia as a credible source because it's open for anybody to edit?

 

PLEASE TAKE ALL POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS TO THE DEBATE ROOM.

Political posts made in this thread may be deleted and their authors issued warning points. We don't want it to come to that.

This has been a good thread. Let's keep it that way.

 

TMW you crack a joke about your tire issues on a monthly basis being your
version of having your period. Though in this context I would not mind
missing it the rest of the damn year.

 

No, people need to stop losing nails/screws on the road.

 

TMW, as you're starting to feel like one of the cool kids, your nose is rubbed in the fact that you aren't.

 

TMW your mother calls you to say that she took a facebook past life test and it said she was a demon. You laugh - a lot - and then realize she's genuinely upset. Then she makes you take the test so it can say you were a demon, but instead it says you were a wolf. She gets more upset, and you wonder if she really is your mom or if you were found on a doorstep or something.

 

TMW the person who was hired instead of you for a supervisory position comes to ask you a question, and in doing so reveals that even after almost one full year on the job he has almost zero understanding of how our facility actually works.

 

If you were so inclined, you could, just maybe, have some fun with that, fun that resulted in said supervisor's ignorance being dramatically revealed to their supervisors.

Just sayin'.

 

Picture if you worked at a hamburger factory, and someone stopped by your desk to ask why the teapots we make are always blue, and you’re just staring because we don’t make teapots, we make hamburgers. Yeah, it was kind of like that.

Unfortunately in my company, his manager would just say, "He asked you about teapots! Why are you talking about hamburgers?" They reward idiocy for some bizarre reason. *sigh*
