Came across this thread a few days ago, and now I'm 12 episodes into Trillbillies. They're real fuckin' good, thank you thread.

Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

Yang is the human embodiment of silicon valley. Correctly identify a problem, heart maybe in the right place, latches onto a dumb idea to fix it because everything in the world is just a series of straightforward problems and solutions, like a sprinkler system with a leaky nozzle somewhere.

How the hell did he/she manage that? AP classes are all about pumping and dumping facts for the test, that teacher is a true hero.

APUSH, while supposed to teach to the test, usually gives a huge amount of freedom to the teacher. mine (williamson county, texas) had to be much more coy but we still covered the cool poo poo from the end of reconstruction to WWI. it just had more wikipedia definitions of events and short-form flashcards instead of zinn. probably the best i could have hoped for in the school district

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.
homex wakes up in his bed, drenched in sweat.

it was all just an awful dream. he wasn't really an adult bragging about how high he was. that could never be the case! he chuckles to himself. "thank goodness" he sighs, while reaching out for his collectors edition lenin dakimakura

lenin-kun was nowhere to be found. "impossible i always bring lenin senpai into bed with me!" homex thinks. his eyes begin to scan the dark room for his egyptian cotton hero. when he notices it, a cold sweat immediately breaks out across his brow. upon the nightstand sits a ghostbusters themed bong. "no, no this can't be!" homex darts out of bid. his heart pounding in his chest as he attempts to locate the bathroom door. after what seemed like minutes, and an unfortunate run in with his podcast corkboard he managed to find the doorknob. homex gulps for air. steadies himself. he needs to be calm before he confronts what might be behind this door.

slowly. ever so slowly does homex open his door. entering the pitch black room, he approached the mirror. the truth. only after a solid minute of paralysis does he manage to flick on the vanity lights.

homex screams at the feminine, round face. the face of a woman whose ethnicity remains unclear screams back

If he quits he'd no longer get that Patreon dough and would need to get a real job and who wants to doable that?

felix has always had contempt for coastal elite cities, owing to his midwest background. i think having to live among that crowd is starting to get to him

does he have to play Fortnite exclusively? all the twitch streamers i follow do their own thing. admittedly, they're almost all former SA LPers who migrated to Twitch, so they have their niche and can do their own thing, but Go Off Kings mixes things up quite a bit

Watching someone take two hundred hours to play through the Metal Gear Solid series, spending entire days just bashing their head against one single boss fight, would've been legit amazing and probably gotten the stream a lot of attention and publicity. Unfortunately I don't think Felix has the temperament for that. He gets too angry at video games.

They stream other games and occasionally youtube videos, it's just that Felix is never on when they aren't playing Fortnite.
