when I moved from the US to Ireland the first culture shock was going into a pub at 3pm and finding out they weren't serving really cause it was between lunch and dinner, but he could get me a soup and sandwich.

good god .. when I read bucks fizz I thought you were talking about buckfast. im relieved to learn its just another term for a mimosa
the five minute tutorial then turns into two hour binge you never signed up for is youtube's fault! it's youtube's fault I waste two hours watching bullshit videos!! we need to fight back!
contains ETOMIDATE, an ingredient in general anesthesia that blocks pain signals and makes you feel drowsy.
god fuck, I havent been on twitter (RIP) for years and I had a quick look at some prominent replies to that whole steaming pile of diarrhea self presenting as discourse.
god fuck. I know that a lot of these posts are bots but holy damn fuck, it sounds like gnarly nobodies at a bar at 1:45am on a wednesday trying to out offend each other.
nothing makes me feel more out of touch with younger people than when I see a person taking up a third of the frame talking into their webcam with a ring light badly superimposed on the video theyre explaining to the viewer while chunky block text overlays appear and dissapear
beer is the thing that really tips the scales in my life. god damn you wonderful precious fermented grain water give it to me
final fantasy III (us III, the magitek mech kefka one) has tunes I STILL use as background music on audio production: magitek factory, the intro and shadow's theme specifically

I used to like wait but why until he made a 3 post puff piece about elon musk's neuralink
this is aaaaaaaAI. The mouse drops at an angle and then distorts a bit. also who the fuck has an IR camera pointing at their face while they're asleep?
we're at the point where we believe computer generated videos are real. I'm not a fan I gotta say.

I would have cried myself to sleep, but I was in a 12 bed hostel dorm and 11 of the beds were occupied by participants in a UK kid's stag/bachelor party. I had come to Ireland to do a masters degree and the interview was the following day. I did not get a good nights sleep I can confirm.
they took me out like a mascot. if there was a decision to make theyd say "ask the yank, let him decide" so I was the person adjucating major decisions, such as does the groom need to still wear the plastic ball and chain prop his friends had gotten for him, what kind of bottom shelf shot will we do next etc.
I went to my college interview unable to put on a facade of faux "can do" and "organized" guy and could only do my best to be sincere and answer the panel's questions as best as I could.

anyway I was expecting like noodles or identifiable chunks of stuff. but the soip was warm pureed something. it did compliment the cold ham and cheese slices and the butter 😚👌
