Impus Major's first statement on emerging from WhimseyShire this morning: Grave robbing is a victimless crime.

Incorrect. I had plans for that cemetery.

And for her, if it's not a physical gift, it doesn't count.

We are at an impasse.

My parents are the same way. They hate giving cash, gift cards, or other practical gifts as it's "lazy" and "greedy", but won't take no for an answer when physical gifts are concerned.

Like when they sent Scint a Xmas gift despite her clearly saying "no gifts please, I'm in the middle of moving and have enough boxes to deal with". Nope, they ordered her stuff from Amazon based on half of a heard conversation between her and me and it showed up on her doorstep literally halfway thru moving packing.

Fear not. This transgression will be addressed anon.

How cluelessly idiotic can you get? Or has he just spent his life that insulated from any sort of critical thought and opposition entirely?

Yes.

And maybe I'm being needlessly unkind, but my immediate impression on the photo was that text post describing someone as "you can tell his inner monologue is just the noise a microwave makes."

The microwave can be a LOT more erudite than that guy.

(10:30 for the actual song. Everything before that is construction detail.)

Damn it, henchman! I am not sacrificing another maintenance employee for your microwave remixes. Do you have any idea how much of a pain it is to get a properly trained employee to sign all those NDAs and ignore a few deliberate OSHA violations?!
But I need a cool boss theme for my recurring appearances that is noticeably different from the usual boss track and also won't get tiresome from repeated listening!
Your whinging is tiresome from repeated listening. Now go tend the radioactive alligator moat.
Question: Is the moat radioactive, or the alligators?

Look, one basically leads to the other at this point. Causality is for chumps.

And for those of us who are colorblind...well...this is how Freehold feels about math.

It's fascinating to me and I truly appreciate the explanation, but at the same time all I can ever feel is frustration when Aiymi or Zelda look at me and go "Do you really believe that's blue?" Yes, or I wouldn't have said "Wow, look at that blue house!" Now imagine what something that's not a single block of color will do to me.

Maybe it's white and gold.

How to Make FaWtL Kill You:

Oh, silly man. We won't kill you. We'll just all sign you up for different lootbox subscriptions, and you'll never clear out your house. We won't go to jail over mailing presents to a friend!

Wow... I think I just heard your alignment shatter...

Nah, I've been claiming LE for a while. It makes it harder for the kids to mount a protestation of "giving any homework is evil" when the response is just "yeah, and?"
I KNEW IT!!!
Well, now I gotta go get the secret-keeping knife.

The lady with the crosses in every window and mirrors strategically placed on the outside of her house, which she splashes with boiling water.

Apparently, the mail people have stopped delivering mail because she screams at them for being Illuminati assassins and she also called the cops on the maintenance guy for also being an assassin.

Yet, when I walk by with the dog she'll occasionally open her door, smile, say hi and then disappear again.

Interesting.

It is most fortuitous you are in position.

One of the things I stick to is if you think the person is doing a bad job, see if you can do better. If you can't, then just s*ck it and don't complain.

It's easy to criticize, not so easy to do.

And there's the rub. I do do things better, every day.

My reward? "Oh, xxx screwed this up again, so we need you to re-do the whole thing and fix it all. And now we're under a time crunch so we need you to do it in half the time it took them."

And yes, I do it, so I'm always the top-ranked member of my team, have job security, and the respect of my peers and all the higher-ups. Even the VP of our division says, "Oh? There's an issue there? Have NobodysHome fix it and clean it up."

It's rewarding, but when the same co-worker makes the same mistake the sixth or seventh time, you start wondering whether they're doing it on purpose just to foist more work on you. Because if there aren't any consequences, then why not?

EDIT: But seriously, when the instructions are, "Stop if you encounter an error," there's no, "Doing it better". You either followed the instructions or you didn't. How is it that half my department can't follow even THAT instruction?

it sucks when you are the solution to every problem.

But it does mean you can impose a...permanent solution to said problem.

Besides. Indoctrinating the children breeds competition for world domination. Encouraging them to speak their minds identifies the dissidents early.
