"If you open carry a gun, you're inciting violence!"

"So tell me how you think short skirts incite rape?"

I was told today by an old timer from Cuba that my beard makes me look like a young Fidel Castro. I'm on one hand horrified. On the other hand, I guess I can add "Latin American Despot" to my cosplay list. Yay?

Tidbits

Time to stop being so anti-social.

...Once I'm done with this book...

Weight loss tip: order the thickest steak you can. Then you'll feel more full and won't eat as much salad, thus cutting down on extraneous calories.

Tidbits

Trump's hair is an illegal alien. From space.

Tidbits

It'd be interesting to compare and contrast Scrooge McDuck with the original Daddy Warbucks (and not the pale imitation in the musical versions).

Tidbits

Those who hate humanity itself will always seek to tighten the noose of control - while trying to convince us that the rope is just a scarf we need to keep warm.

And it all starts with the phrase, "There should be a law..."

Tidbits

That Abby and McGee never became a serious thing is one of the big disappointments I have with NCIS. Otherwise, it was a pretty fun show.

Tidbits

Do you love Big Brother? Then be a Democratic Socialist today! They will always watch over you!

Tidbits

"Elsa and Anna are only sisters in the English dub. In the original, they were lovers."

Tidbits

Chris Christie is John Candy's evil clone.

Tidbits

"Government declares War on Racism!"

10 years later...

"President David Duke today declared the War on Racism a resounding success..."

Tidbits

"I've created a company with millions in sales and therefore know everything about economics!"

Facebook profile shows him unemployed.

Yeah, tell me again how much of a success you are, Internet tough guy

Tidbits

If rainbows are the color for same sex marriage, what color do we use for same sex divorce?

Green. But only for the lawyers.

Tidbits

I'm sure someone's done it already, but a cosplay idea: dress as Walter White and hand out small bags of blue rock candy.

Tidbits

Met a guy visiting from England. I asked him which accent he had (since there are dozens of variants). Turns out he had the Manchester - the only one I know the name of. Fun!

Tidbits

Socialism is the ultimate form of white privilege.

Tidbits

Forget 420. It's all about 427.

Stanley life, yo.

Tidbits

The solution to moral panic is not the abolition of morality, but the acquisition of a better moral code.

Tidbits

Four artists who keep popping up in opening and ending songs I like to listen to: Eir Aoi, LiSA, GARNiDELiA, and angela.

Tidbits

Usually, if I say, "That is clearly" or "That is obviously," I am being sarcastic or joking.

Tidbits

With every plank of a floor, two go into a ceiling. What "protects" us from failure is far more effective at preventing success.

Tidbits

Crossover idea: Lupin III versus Isaac and Miria (Baccano!). The greatest thief versus a pair of immortals. Poor Zenigata is gonna end up in the funny farm trying to handle the wacky hijinks.

Tidbits

Street preacher: Jesus Christ fills us with glorious purpose!

Me: WRONG. That's Loki!

Tidbits

I generally prefer Steve Ditko to Jack Kirby as an artist and general creator.

Tidbits

Do you even Homu?

(She's at her best when she wears her glasses.)

Tidbits

Steve Ditko's Question is my favorite version of that character. The animated JLU one wasn't bad, though, thanks to the dialogue references to his origins.

Tidbits

Capitalism comes with no guarantees but one: freedom. Socialism makes every guarantee but keeps only one: starvation.

Tidbits

Robert Heinlein was the best science fiction author of the 20th century.

FIGHT ME, BRO.

Tidbits

Fanart idea: Ilya and Berserker from Fate/Stay Night in the style of Big Hero 6, with Berserker as Baymax.

Tidbits

Customer: Are you a supervisor?

Me: No.

Customer: Well, you should be!

That made me feel good.

Tidbits

I'm trying to figure out if Keima Katsuragi (World God Only Knows) meeting Haruhi Suzumiya would fix her or cause the world to end. It'd be hilarious, regardless.

Tidbits

"Our ancestors didn't have [insert modern convenience here]. Clearly it's bad for us!"

"They also had life spans of only 20 to 40 years."

Tidbits

That I feel pain at the loss of ties to others does have a benefit: it means I'm not a sociopath. Those folks don't feel anything.

Tidbits

Random WPI flashback: meeting a very cute and intelligent girl and hanging out with her. I then told two "friends" about her. One proceeds to spread rumors we were dating. The other walks right up to her and asks if she likes me. She gets so creeped out by all this she stops talking to me. Sigh.

Tidbits

Today is when all the brownies, Rice Krispy treats, and assorted deserts are going to disappear from the cafeteria shelves.

Tidbits

It's said the loss of social connections directly stimulates the pain centers of the mind. I can confirm this is true.

Tidbits

The inanity of small talk and shallow background conversations grate on my mind like sand paper. It's fine in small doses, but when that's all people are capable of it becomes pitiable, like a dog with missing legs.

Tidbits

There's a part in a fridge called a "bi-metal frost controller." It triggers the defrost mechanism by expanding and contracting. I keep calling it the "bi-frost" and expecting Heimdal to teleport me away.

Tidbits

Random Taiwan flashback: 7-11's are like Starbucks over there. Every corner has one. It's the most common brand you will see. There are more per city there than in some entire states here.

Tidbits

According to a former employer, I am very good at convincing people to let strangers into their house.

Tidbits

Rock band name: Babies on a Roller Coaster.

Tidbits

On one hand, I regret not knowing how to code. On the other hand, I remember the pain and misery that came everytime I tried to learn.

Tidbits

Tumblr: Where no one has experienced actual hardship but everyone's an expert on it.

Tidbits

I reject any worldview with delicate sensibilities. A good system of philosophy should be able to handle a little rough housing around the edges.

Tidbits

There was a salsa tasting contest at work. Shortly after, two of the main bathrooms were taped off and inaccessible. COINCIDENCE?

Tidbits

"Don't be a you-nicorn, be an own-icorn."

Probably the cheesiest motivational line I have ever thought of, born from a very weird discussion on the merits of unicorns combined with the concept of owning up to personal mistakes.

Tidbits

Something I love: getting a paycheck. Knowing that I was able to turn my time into money is deeply satisfying. That there is someone who feels I am worth compensating for my labor is a huge boost to self-confidence.

Tidbits

Player 1: "I want some pet monkeys."

Me: "Here's 12 of them."

Player 2: "I need some dirt I can manipulate."

Me: "Have a jar of it."

Typical exchanges when I run games.

Tidbits

"I'm almost out of money. What do I do for food?"

"That's what best friends are for. They taste like chicken."

Tidbits

Person: "God is the ultimate scientist."

Me: "God is the ultimate MAD scientist would explain a lot."
