Assuming the Army subreddit isn't just people making up shit, I learned this word:

Befuckled:
The look you get on your face when there's no possible way anyone can be that dumb, but they are, and they all outrank you.

I intend to add it to my lexicon, but for very sparing use.

I've noticed that my wired earbuds keep randomly shocking me while I'm using them. It's not painful, just a a little *zap* in my ear once in a while. I thought there my be an issue with the connection to my laptop, so I looked it up, and today I learned when the wire rubs against your clothing, it builds up static electricity that occasionally travels through the wire and into your ear.

That Super Mario has appeared in an Xbox exclusive.


I doubt many people here speak Swedish, so: the video presents Project Gotham Racing 2, a game that acts as a time capsule of the cities depicted in the game circa 2003, and the video's narrator provides some humourous commentary of stores and buildings that no longer exists. One thing he noted was that a particular video game store 1. No longer exists. 2. At the time, had a display window full of Gamecubes while X-BOX is written in the window. 3. If you look closely you can see through the door of the store a poster or something depicting Mario characters.

A bit funny, if you ask me.

I'm currently in Sweden and I've been seeing this thumbnail but never understood what it meant. Thanks!

Oh? Which part? (if I may ask)

Stockholm, which is why seeing the tunnelbana on this thumbnail was interesting. I understood the text to be "Stockholm -> Play" but I assume it is actually "Stockholm -> Game". Admittedly I don't really get around much so I only recognized Kulturhuset and Gallerian.

Today I leanred that Jennifer Tilly's mother was of mixed European decent, and her father was Chinese. I always thought she was exotically beautiful (back in the day; she's kinda rough now...) now I know why; blending makes for some beautiful people.

You could do worse to look like Jennifer Tilly does at 67.

Fair enough; "rough" was harsh, and not what I meant. I just meant she's aged +30 years since I crushed on her, and coincidentally so have I; that's my fault for not understanding how time works and what it does to each of us. She is still lovely pushing 70, and with that whiskey voice of hers (the reason why whiskey-voiced women turn me on to this day,) she could probably still talk my pants off.

All I'm sayin' is, if she invited me to come "look at her etchings", I wouldn't say no.

I keep telling my friends that I don't get the stomach bug and they don't believe me. A friend's daughter just recently got the stomach bug, she got better so the friend came over for a movie night. Then, the very next day (Monday), she got hit with the sickness ("the plague") and she texts that she got it and I'm like "I don't care, I don't get the stomach bug so I'm not worried". Then, on Wednesday, she's texting other friends if I was at game night and if I looked fine because she didn't believe that I wouldn't have gotten the plague.

Because of this I look it up and if you're of European decent, you have a 20% chance of being immune to norovirus, and... told ya so!!!

A genetic quirk protects some people from norovirus. Can vaccines help the rest of us?

The winter vomiting bug is highly infectious and fast to evolve, but people who are unusually immune to the virus could help us beat it.

I think I hate spoken Christmas rhymes more than anything else, even fascism. If fascism promised me it would get rid of spoken Christmas rhymes, I'm sorry, I'm only human, they gotta go. Especially the way the final line ends with an air of smugness as if its so bloody proud of that last rhyming vague platitude. Apologies but the only emotional resonance that has at all is contained airtight within the person who thought that was their best mic drop as they finish on a Friday evening distracted more by the incoming 3 day drug fueled party binge they planned. Gimme that job. Then gimme those drugs and those parties. Or I'm voting fascism. It will come for me too but this is scorched earth!! Can't judge me neither cos am merely just a confused young, uhh, human with unmet needs! What,vwait, what....where the hell was I going with this crap? Did I just black out again?
