Noble Dust

Today is my first day off in awhile, and I have the apartment to myself. The best feeling ever. Coffee, breakfast, and I randomly got a short story id...

I believe it's called a pester the mortal.

I've suddenly lost my taste for fancy food.

It was a gift from Joe Biden.

Oh I bust out my Les Paul and Marshall full stack when the Queen visits.

I assume you carry a pocket trumpet?

Yeah this doesn’t tell us anything.

Also, for 'Murica, I recently came back from the Cleveland Guardians/New York Yankees game with my buddy who's also from The Land. I am toasted! Mazel...

For the select chosen, cherished, and true, I will at this time mention that I am now convinced that my old computer had a linear scroll function; i.e...

Wonderful. :party:

Btw, in the past hour, I've become convinced that my old computer was set up with a linear scroll setting. @"Baden" please take note. Thank you.

And how do you like it?

] Pernicious in a "fuck this shit" sense, sure. That's exactly what I'm imagining. But I guess it has both... the scrolly-ball (trademark) and the scr...

Ah yes, I now remember that from the ice age in which I used a Windows computer. I was thinking of an antiquated mouse that has a little scroller in t...

My problem is my work computer and home computer were set differently, but apparently I've used both for so long that I just seamlessly switched betwe...

Linear you are. I think it was Apple who initiated this bass ackwards normalization of the opposite direction. In my system preferences, under trackpa...

Towards our previous discussion of mispronunciation after long years of spending time alone and reading a lot, another byproduct of this environment i...

:up: Some would argue that this type of thinking doesn't belong on a philosophy forum. To the extent that philosophy has become what it has in the mod...

I got a new laptop, and I can't tell if, on my old computer, I had the trackpad setup to scroll linearly (two fingers scrolling down = down) or the op...

Same. I've argued (badly) for intuition over the years here, but I eventually realized it's self-evident that the vast majority of people in the world...

:up:

Yup! So cool; I love authors who make illustrations of their own works; Tolkien did this, especially his maps. It makes the whole experience so much m...

What about lymerics? One over-thinking dilettante a day Won't keep confusion away But one too-terse Witty-boy a day Won't enlighten anyone or enrich a...

How tall, generally, would a person with a 14 inch appendix come out to?

lol

:up:

Would love to!

Scratch that, found one. Ordered! I also saw below your review that @"jamalrob" is a fan. Extra motivation to read.

Sounds like I need to order it. It was in the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series, of which I once had a hair-brained goal of collecting them all...but I ...

This has been on the back burner for awhile; should it move up? One of the most beautiful things I've read in a long time (to me at least, highlightin...

I'm here to teach and advise.

His team, yes.

*Greatest, as I edited. Important stuff.

My guess is you googled "baseball goat", and the machine spat out a cringy overlay photo of Ichiro Suzuki, one of the best players of the modern age, ...

Ichiro is the G.O.A.T. but that's pretty cringy. I'm confused. Also...

Sorry, any baseball fans? Just want to double check.

Any baseball fans?

This way, unless the reader knows Sindhi, they can’t accuse you of not being funny.

Exactly.

I know what a dust bunny is y'all...

Well, we did have a few condors growing up. I lost my sister to one.

Yew wot m8

Right. As a kid I grew up with birds (budgerigars), and I love birds, but I didn't realize at the time how needy they are. As an adult I would love no...

I've almost gotten to the point where I think having pets is inhumane, as much as I love animals. Maybe a cat, and one that can go in and out, but I'd...

I love animals, but rabbits were always weird to me. They seem really socially awkward. Or it's just like they're always nervous.

Thank you all for your thoughtful submissions but unfortunately at this time I will be reverting to my childhood nickname of Weird Scrawny Kid.

As will I

A simple mistake. Flagged, but shouldn't result in a ban.
