One time in college, I played this game called Sim City, and the business I ran got destroyed and the people who worked for the company got wiped out. I was like, ‘.’ Then after a couple hours of playing, I discovered that all the people who had been working for the company were just doing it to get more money. They didn’t care about my vision. And they definitely weren’t my friends. So I decided to change my tactics. I hacked the game to designate my company a nonprofit. And from then on, I was  unstoppable.

The slavery issue in the civil war is just a bonus for me. Had the North been the pro slavery side and the South been the anti slavery side, I still would favor the North. Preservation of the Union is no. 1

In the summer of 1992, I was in Central Park and I saw John Cage reading a protestor’s book without any amplification. I’d never seen someone read a book in Central Park without amplification before. Little did I know this would be the beginning of one of the greatest goth bands in Detroit.

My first time was 98 years ago. It was a very magical and beautiful day. I was seventeen or eighteen. I was looking at the Washington Monument and thinking: ‘This is gonna be big.’ It was so exciting. But afterwards I remember thinking: ‘Maybe I can do better.’

I drink and hook up with people I don't have feelings for because I CAN deal with being depressed and I CAN deal with being unhappily single, but I can't deal with both at the same time.

In 2019 I convinced my girlfriend to go to Lucca Comics & Games with me dressed as cosplays of Renzo and Lucia from The Betrothed.
Needless to say no one in hell recognized us, since ~95% of people who cosplay at that event dress as characters from mangas or animes, most people who do not cosplay come to Lucca because they are interested in mangas or animes, and I am probably the only person in all of Italy who could have had such a crazy idea.
To add on everything that day it rained heavily af.

I love to bake. I make everything. I even make a special cupcake for each holiday. All of them adhere to a theme that I take very seriously. I was going to do one for Halloween this year called Pumpkin Spice Apocalypto. But the apocalypse doesn’t start until Christmas.

Koopa just showed this to me on Discord:



Turning 26 next month and still going strong, folks. The thought of physical intimacy terrifies me. Although since losing my mom I've become more interested in finding a companion.

Part of me also still wishes I had been born a woman or gay. In terms of my gender and sexuality I'm a complete mess.

"Involved" as in you commited the offense or were the victim? Actually it's probably better if you don't answer that, never mind.

I’m Kendra Mendricks. I make free puppet shows for people who just don’t get it. I want my show to be a vehicle for people to become more like me, or else I just want them to shut up. You don’t need food. You don’t even need soap. All you need is a neck tattoo and a stolen copy of the DSM-5. You don’t have to be proud of who you are. Just different. Do I sound like a pompously dressed pretzel? Maybe I should just be chucking my wad in the general direction of Society.

I spent six night and three mornings on the Pine-Sol Reservation, just belting out yacht drama and the "Crazy on the West Side" of The Wrecking Ball – an essential musical in any good Hollywood summer movie season, to name but one – that you would never dream a kid out this far out could produce. But all of it came out in my soul. I have no doubts about the ability of a man my age to do any of it, especially what could be so very much more important to your life's future, my life…

There we go again: not a man, but many men from all walks of life were involved in your final two trips on this crazy bus from your childhood in Santa Ana down to Santa Monica to attend this one elite public party… One that's become all the more iconic in its way as it became better known for a series of very important men who were at times just one or more of the main, leading names in a long list of names: Charlie Sheen… Jim Henson… Jeff Goldblum.

One night I was at a private dinner with my biological parents, and I was looking out for myself. I was trying to be practical. I always told myself that if I ever had a kid, I’d be a professional cave painter. Then suddenly my friend showed me how to do it. Not by eating a bunch of moss, but by painting with my own hands. My father fell out of his chair, and he was crushed to death. I never knew him personally, but he left me all his money. My mom was screaming behind me. She was demanding that I give her all that money. She was waving her arms and yelling: "Give it to Satan! Give it to Satan!" I never knew her personally, but she reached in her wallet and pulled out a pair of old Yeezys. Money well spent.

I had a friend whose father was indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia for several dozen war crimes in the southern Posavina region in 1992. The charges included, but were not limited to, use of prohibited weapons, destruction of cultural heritage sites, mistreatment, torture, and summary execution of POWs, failure to prosecute crimes against civilian populations, arms trafficking, violation of export control laws, and conspiracy to commit genocide. He was hiding for years, was found, got arrested, was tried, and received a life sentence in a Dutch prison for his crimes.

Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

This is why Biden needs to win. We need a total and complete shutdown of Serbs entering the United States until we figure out what the hell is going on.

I talked to Terry Brandstad and his wife yesterday while working and didn't even recognize it was him until somebody pointed it out to me after they left.

I feel like this is grounds for having my politics nerd card revoked.

I think your Iowa citizenship will have to be revoked as well. How can you be an Iowan and not know Terry Branstad when you see him?
