Do you have any idea how bad it hurts to snort laugh while hitting a vape? Do you?

Back when Boomer humor was at least a little anti rich/elite

That was always my trick, too. I also used to keep my lighters on a lighter leash back when they first starting getting popular. If I didn't clip it on my clothes, I'd put the whole thing in my pocket, and when someone wants a light I just hold the clippy part and hand them the lighter. I ain't letting go. I want my lighter back.

My mom, though, man, she was the biggest lighter thief back in the day. She'd go to a party in the 90s and 00s, when everyone smoked, and each time she lit up she'd ask for a light and accidently (she claims) pocket it. By the end of the night when she got home she'd have 15-30 lighters in her purse. I have literally seen her dump a pile of bics on a bed from her pocket book, and it looked like Technicolor vomit spewing out of a leather bag. Lmao

I have done this twice! I felt so fucking powerful!

I also like the game where there's 1 second left on the clock from the last time you used it and you put something new in, but instead of clearing the clock you hit start and try to press the 30+ button before the initial 1 second timer is finished, thus tricking the microwave into believing that no time has passed, and that you are eternally heating the same cup of soup

I really want to write this as a children's story. If your friend and you want to send stories I'll do it. Lol

In fairness, I cry a lot too

You wouldn't download God incarnate

If you do it, please report back. I'm curious

Both me and my mom, on separate occasions, have made therapists cry.

Can I go with them, please?

You can buy em online. Communion wafers. They're not considered "hosts" or sacred until after they're consecrated. But I don't know if this would actually work or not. You're not supposed to chew them, but let them dissolve. As such, I'd imagine when you add the melted marshmallow they would just sort of turn into a blob of sugary bread. They're like if potato chips tasted of nothing, and had the same reaction to moisture as Styrofoam does to gasoline

The missing "up" there makes me think that your friend is, in fact, a tree near a monastery, and somehow, through the power of friendship, you are able to speak with this tree, and he tells you stories of the olden days when the children would play and the nuns were kind, but firm.

If you've been baptized in any trinitarian tradition you can partake in an Episcopal Eucharist celebration, and we use the same absolutely tasteless wafers. I so envy the Orthodox and their leavened breads.

Oh, this is so me! I learn some shit, I'm in a honey moon period on it and want to do nothing but talk about it endlessly, and then I get to a point where I hit a wall, I've learned as much as I can understand, anything beyond that level of knowledge requires other, more specialized knowledge, and I can't realistically devote the time to it, and now I don't even want to talk about it, because I feel like a fraud, as I know there's a whole world of knowledge on the subject that just isn't accessible to me

I was going to say, until roughly 12 months ago 6 months of expenses would have been more than 6 months of wages for me.

Hell, still is if all I'm counting is my own income, and not household income

That's fair. I just don't find it very shocking that that is the tradition he felt safe doing that from within.

Here here!

(That was on purpose)

I mean, I don't think any of us were particularly bad about hygiene? It was more just sort of boy-stink. Lol. In fairness, it was coastal Virginia, summer time, in an un air conditioned room, with the only time the door got opened being when one of us had to pee. Lol. To be honest, I remember it almost fondly. Like, the stale smell of it when every one was gone was horrid, but the smell of the room, the hot TV and console, and all my buddies crammed together wasn't bad when it was going on. Just during the week afterwards. Lol.

That said, I have some unique opinions on smells, so grain of salt and all lol

But also, yes, God, the moldy Chinese food-- yuck

So, I missed LAN parties, but me and my buddies used to all get together (normally at my house) and play console games and d&d, and I feel like it has pretty similar vibes.

Some seriously amazing times. The thing I remember most distinctly, though, is the smell. A dozen 12-15 year old boys who don't yet understand the necessity of deodorant, all crammed into a bedroom, basically sitting on top of each other. The smell was loud. My room used to reek of it for 5 or 6 days, just in time for next Saturday to roll around and stink it up again. Lol.
