    When I was like 5 or 6 my aunt showed me this “neat trick” (according to her) where you put a bit of Sellotape on a balloon, then you can prick it with a needle and it won’t burst!

    But instead of being impressed I was very much just mad that she destroyed my balloon.

    I got 0 on home ec homework once aged 15. There were 3 question sheets we could do, I was the only one in the class that picked the 3rd. Tutor didn’t realise and marked my questions wrong, when I politely went through each question with her half way through she refused to change it saying “well I could have given you a few marks, like 3 or 4, but I didn’t want to”

    How much season two of heroes sucked. I’m so fucking tired of Marvel and DC, we’ve done Spiderman so much we have 3 fairly-young people who have all done Spiderman reboots in my lifetime. It’s a lot.

    Heroes felt like it could be anything, do anything. And then season two dropped:

        Well they said minor, and GoT is an epic fucking blundering of several seasons of goodwill and amazing storytelling. I just won’t watch the last season, same with HIMYM. I know people like closure, but that’s like ending a Michelin Star meal with a turd sandwich. I’ll just take the check.

          Excellent point well made. It’s so bad I reckon it’ll be used as a teaching example on media courses for years. It’s indefensible the writers obviously just DGAF and put no effort into it. I have no idea why HBO didn’t have checks and balances to stop this

    We’re 4th graders, teacher stepped out for like half an hour. Comes back and we’re all playing instead of doing our classwork, because, duh, we’re like 9. Proceeds to punish the first 10 kids she sees. But then realized that’s not fair, so she lets the class vote on who caused the ‘problem’. I’m the fat kid, so naturally I get picked.

    Auto emissions are a theft of ownership instead of a measurement standard. It is one thing to say your vehicle must meet X/Y/Z metrics in a test. It is entirely different to say your vehicle must include A/B/C hardware. That is theft of autonomy, ownership, innovation, creativity, and open markets. It was one of the first injustices of our neo feudal dystopia.
