Oh dang yeah DNR. Sometimes I’m a big ol dumb dumb

My dad almost died of a massive heart attack 5 years ago. It was bad enough that we agreed to a NDA DNR after his 4th crash in the ICU. We joke that he heard us talking and said “screw that” because he didn’t crash again and made a recovery.

He’s now in the final stages of renal failure, and every extra day we got these last 5 years has been precious.

If you have family you love, go give them a hug. They won’t be around forever, even if it feels like it sometimes

*edit: DNR, I’m dumb

Yo Squid, this is TIL, not No context comics

(Just kidding, keep posting you legend)

Dude, he wasn’t playing an Indian! He clearly says that his ancestors are from Pittsburgh

(is /s necessary here? Eh, I’ll put it in anyway)

Imagine being an animated skeleton.

Imagine that skeleton has a thin layer of nerves over the bones. You know, for touching things

Imagine being allergic to gluten

Imagine your bones itching because your asshole roommate gave you glutenous snacks

That necromancer was a dick btw

♥️tx my dude, i don’t worry too much, I’m just pragmatic about my future prospects

Here we are, and it is now

I worked concrete construction for about a decade, and was living in NYC on 911. I figure complications from asbestos and silica exposure will take me out in my late 60’s/early 70’s before congestive heart failure gets me in my 80’s (like most of the men in my family).

I started working for a larger company in NYC and they had safety classes for new workers that included silica education. I had no idea before then, but always wore an N95 afterward when working with Portland or doing concrete demo. But I still had years of exposure from my youth. We were completely unaware of the dangers

Companies have known the risks of silica exposure for years. Many have blood on their hands.

Phone home!

Phone hoooooommmmmeeee!

I just couldn’t get through it. But to each his own, I had a good friend who refused to read Pratchett’s Thief of Time because “books need chapters” lol

I have a friend that grew up reading the Wheel of Time series. He talked it up a lot. I got through the first two books and couldn’t keep going. He said, “It gets really good at the end of book three. Book four is amazing. Books five, six, and seven are only okay. There’s a couple more that are really good, but the last book falls flat.”

And I realized that’s probably how people that never watched Star Wars experience it after we recommend the movies to them. “This one specific movie is amazing, and those two are pretty okay. That one was good in its time and I like it for nostalgia. We didn’t talk about how the movie series ended. Want to watch the cartoons?”

Every society needs a cry like that, but only in a very few do they come out with the complete, unvarnished version, which is “Remember-The-Atrocity-Committed-Against-Us-Last-Time-That-Will-Excuse-The-Atrocity-That-We’re-About-To-Commit-Today! And So On! Hurrah!

• Thief of Time, Terry Pratchett

Right? I feel like Child with Crayon should be between fanfic writer and 50 Shades

I read that as entomologist for a second and was really confused

Figured it had something to do with fleas

How do Reavers clean their spears?

that she could use the force

Except she couldn’t. She was Force sensitive, but had no training and couldn’t “use” the Force. And he had no idea he had children until after ANH. If he felt any connection at all to Leia he could have easily dismissed it as knowing Bail during the Clone Wars and that her family connection to Bail.

My actual biggest issue is that Mara Jade isn’t canon

It’s wild seeing Washington Court House (yes that’s the actual town name) in a general news byline. It’s such a small and insignificant town.

Weird

There’s probably a German word for this feeling

Barbie song, hands down
