felch me daddy jr. posted:Yeah, what you did was create a deathcoaster (actually more likely a go-kart with the exit connected directly to water) in an isolated area and manually put all the unhappy people in that area. I usually just made barf-coasters and watched my janitors get more and more unhappy.

And the irony then was lost on me, Zipperlli. As I was a dumb teen listening to Good Charlotte. And I still remember the lyrics to 'Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous.' At least I was listening to good bands then as well.

I would always look at hot topic as I passed it but never went in because I was afraid I wasn't cool enough. See also: every other store at the mall that wasn't a large department store.

Disappointed that i read all that and the 'handicapped' man didn't pop up at the end furious with evil aunt because he isn't disabled at all, she just made it up as an excuse. Also disappointed that not actually disabled man didn't then ask pizza girl on a date. Mostly disappointed that I read it at all and then felt moved to disappoint you with the quality of my posting.

Last time I was in a mall (which admittedly is a pretty long time) there were definitely physical torrid locations. I don't know if I'd call it plus sized hot topic, just plus size in general. I don't remember seeing a bunch of invader zim and anime stuff on them, anyway.

Look, it's Alaska. You fire the one teenager within a day's drive, then you gotta take out a help wanted ad in the Mooseknuckle Mirror and before you know it you're giving 30 hours a week to some toothless, shack-dwelling hermit who won't tell you his name and comes to work drunk on stove fuel.

El Padrino posted:Idgi, the dude was mentally deficient cause he figured :5bux: was a good tip to the pizza teen? Or was the mean old lady a bitch? I assume it was that the kid had a mild mental disability and the woman thought that meant he was incompetent to do anything, which is a sadly common attitude. So when the aunt heard he'd paid, she assumed the delivery girl had tricked him into overpaying. If it had really happened. Anyway, there's this trend/meme going around where you claim to have made a bot observe something for a thousand hours and then make its own version. I kind of want it to die.

It's especially garbage because the ones actually made with neural networks or predicative text are completely insane and sound like some kind of schizophrenic word salad that is a billion times funnier and more absurd than this corny poo poo. I still laugh until my whole soul aches at that one where they fed recipe and cooking books into one and it came up with recipe names like "Completely Meat Circle" and "Crockpot Cold Water."

I love the neopets food items: Slum floss Left soup Fancy stink Boron cheese core Bloody sandwich Hollow cone Meta pizza Chicken sought Sparklogg Flosh cake Potato day merry sandwich Bam steak people cake Spicy tea shaped and chocolate fount scorf long Want me some meta pizza. Wasn't there a Harry Potter chapter that was curated autocorrect results or something?

This one? Not autocorrect, but written with a predictive text program: http://botnik.org/content/harry-potter.html You can tell the fake ones because they're way more coherent. I did like the fake Saw one, though: https://twitter.com/KeatonPatti/status/969314601669193728 edit: And the person who did the Neopets foods explains how you can tell these "1000 hours" things are fake: https://twitter.com/JanelleCShane/status/1007061610005794817 SerialKilldeer has a new favorite as of 01:09 on Sep 16, 2018 |

Aren't most of those 1000 hours posts meant as jokes? Like after the few original bot written ones it just turned into a joke format imo. E: from that saw one https://twitter.com/beardontcare/status/970728801847136257?s=19 Fathis Munk has a new favorite as of 11:48 on Sep 16, 2018 |
