Based on my deep understanding of the Cybertruck-owner psyche, this is 100% them being as much of an asshole as possible so that when someone vandalizes their car they can post it for clout with the other weirdos.

What does Trump need a functional prison for?

Lucky you

Just because it uses a raspberry pi doesn't mean it's not art.

It's a Homestuck character.

There's already folks staging train robberies of cargo trains through LA. The era of the highwayman has come again!

I didn't. We had an N64.

Red Letter Media.

YouTube movie guys. They love Joe Dante.

I only learned it was Joe Dante this year I think from RLM.

I saw this when it came out (I was the target audience: an 8 year-old boy). I got my parents to buy me so many of the toys. I think I remember even getting the "novelization" from the Scholastic book fair.

It was extremely my shit then. I wonder how it would go over for me now.

I think there's not enough context here for either of us to make an accurate read on the situation.

OP asked for advice on a subjective situation. I offered my interpretation.

I'm hoping there's more background to this than just that one comment. If that one comment is what is making you consider not talking to your mom anymore, I think that's a bit of an overreaction.

What your mom said is factually true. It seems that you found it insensitive, but it also seems like you're saying you want to cut your mom out of your life because she wishes you had a higher-paying job.

Saying you wish your kid had a higher-paying job isn't solely indicative to me that your mom is a greedy capitalist, moreso that she's recognizing that more money makes people's lives easier in our current mode of production. And also, just being a capitalist is a bit of a low bar for cutting out one of your parents.

I think maybe you should sit and think on this decision for a bit.

disc mechanisms for cots that were apparently not innovative enough to merit a Paperclipping

I don't think that's true, considering the size and scope difference. It's incredible what it's managed to do, though.

I think there's a ceiling on how much people are willing to pay for an ugly poly blend t-shirt from Goodwill, even in a nightmare scenario.

You can buy used clothes, you know. Not to knock your attempt to make them yourself, that's cool, but there are plenty of ways to avoid having to do that.

Why aren't they gold?

Reason #1: It is pretty short so why not?

I love Kate Wagner.

How spooky was it? I scare easily.
