I mean, that is technically the only way. I guess I'll save experiencing that masterpiece for if we ever meet. I am a great CONsumer of memes...not really a creator.
Good idea. Movie-watching is one of the best ways for online friends to get to know one another (lowkey though, that would actually be a lot of fun) Fair enough. More internet fame for me, then.
Do you think memes have gotten better or worse over this past decade?
(lol it would)
They have gotten even more niche and hard to understand, but it makes them even more satisfying when you do get them.
I'm not sure I would've liked who I would've turned out to be if it came about while working fast food.
I haven't, but we know a family that donates all the toys they get that don't fit the aesthetic, even if their kid really likes it!!! I was so mad when I found out about it.
Lowkey though, I probably would have become a sociopath and ended up on the news.
W H A T Ok.., that's just evil I don't know if I'd be able to stay polite if I found out people I knew were doing that.
For something like solving global warming, right?
It frustrates me beyond words, it's the epitome of someone creating their own first world problems.
Mine was a rough gravel drive, so both of us are cleared of some guilt.
We have a longer lunch break at my new work, so I take walks now! There's a little trail/sidewalk nearby. It's quickly becoming the third best part of my day. Painting was rage-inducing for you? I never tried really, so it could be for me too and I'd never know.
I love being cleared of responsibility for my actions
That sounds absolutely lovely! Sometimes I'll take walks around campus to pretend that I can escape. I know, I was surprised, too. But genuinely, that was one of the few classes I've ever had that made me want to throw stuff at people just because of how mad it made me. We'd only have the class once a week, but each class was four-hours long with only one break, and like fifteen people were crammed in a small basement in a small house sitting on the edge of campus. On top of that, the professor--as nice as he was--was not very good at teaching, and he would spend like half an hour talking about something, realize that it wasn't at all related to the class, and then start all over again, with all these little tangents and confusing details that had nothing to do with what we were learning about. Plus I had a hard time telling if he was genuinely criticizing my progress or if he was teasing me, and that stressed me out. After two hours I'd be genuinely trembling with barely-suppressed frustration, and I'd sometimes just stalk out of the studio without asking to be excused because I needed to get myself away so that I wouldn't be tempted to stab someone with my paintbrush. I ended up making some nice acrylic pieces, though, so it wasn't all bad. 2/10 experience.
That does not sound like the best atmosphere for inspired creativity. I hated really long class times, I know for studio-type classes they can be necessary but if they weren't really engaging you started feeling trapped.
We've all had a professor who we liked as a person but couldn't stand as a teacher. This guy definitely sounds like one.
Well, this job has been possibly even more boring, but I'm still working out whether I'm comfortable posting on a LEGO site in view of everybody (including my supervisor).
Uhhhh, say you're looking for child-rearing advice, and that the site is just designed to look very childish because of the advice it offers to parents.
Quick, give me some child-rearing advice so I can back up my claim if they ask!
You have a clear path of succession it appears. I hope you enjoy the position more than its previous occupant.
Me too. To be fair, he never wanted it to begin with, and I've aspired to it since I first joined staff. But also, his not-wanting-it was based on a decent understanding of what it actually entails, while my aspiration was based on starry-eyed youthful dreams.
I hate to break it to you z-whales, but his outlook sounds more tenable than yours. But still, I wish you best of luck and hope your eyes remain starry.

My eyes may be a bit less starry now, but I still don't have a problem with taking the position. At least, I've been there long enough that I may as well be in the role of "person who knows what they're doing." Someone's gotta do it.
Are you still in training or have you moved on to the proper job?
I guess that determines it then. Unless this is all a mind game...
I completed most of the training in the first couple days, now I'm just learning a little each day by doing the work.
No, it's not. Unless you suggesting I'm playing a mind game is part of your mind game . . . Yeah, that's a plausible theory.
That's good. The plan I work at is still in the building phase, so we're all just trying to learn what we can without actually being able to see the equipment.
Lol, my grandma used to buy me a huuuuuge set every christmas. That's how I got the UCS millenium falcon. She's gotten older and is not really able to walk around stores or order stuff online anymore. And I don't want to bother my grandpa with ordering random stuff. Nowadays they just give me and my siblings $100 bills XD My parents are usually the ones now that order me big presents anymore. Though my mom was not pleased when she saw my $400 haul XD Though, she was thoroughly impressed with my room and closet re-organization that completely decluttered my room and made my closet easier to navigate She was like "okay, you're finally an official, fully-matured adult. I'm no longer worried about you going on a date or going off to college" Which is a win
That's raaaad, I love that for you XD Do you save up the money or spend it all in one go?
I'm usually afraid of spending too much at once, so I'll save up a bunch. Luckily my savings account has become quite sizely.

Honestly, yeah. There are some new formats that still appeal to the common user, but it's kinda fun having layers of internet culture weaved into this bizarre form of communication. It's weirdly nuanced.
