My younger brother gifted me a plain black t-shirt that says, in unassuming white font, "I AM NOT A SEX OFFENDER". I've worn it exactly once, at his behest. I understand your plight

Jerusalem posted:Ray hears Cornelius sobbing, immediately comes to the obvious (and agreed upon by his friends) conclusion that he went out to get breakfast and left a machine running that he uses to help him ignore crying. This is when I discover I’ve misread that strip as about a machine to help practice crying, instead of a machine to practice ignoring crying, this whole time.

Did he think you were underage or suicidal? I can't believe you found someone who cares that much. I've done some moonlighting in the liquor store during my Publix days and I can almost promise that 99.9% of clerks are only capable of three thoughts during checkout, and it doesn't matter if you're half naked or in a bumblebee costume. "Does he have an ID" "Is he shoplifting" "When the hell can I clock out".

there was a time in high school and undergrad where I thought posting context-free Achewoodisms and postpunk lyrics and such on my social media was funny and cool and smart, and not off-putting and alienating and worrying, because two or three of my friends understood them while literally nobody else who saw them did how I managed to end up living with an attractive woman in my twenties, after meeting her in college no less, is honestly a matter of miracle at least now when I broadcast my mental illness to the internet I have the good sense to exclusively keep it behind my SA forums account

If I were the clerk and someone reasonably convinced me they were depressed I'd just point them to whatever deals we had on the 1.75's

Some knuckleheads on Twitter are debating whether the "D" in Disney actually looks like a "D" or not, and all I can think of is Roast Beef's Disney Fantasy Signature that looks like "DOAST DEEF".

Oh hey, some trauma I had pushed down, how's it hangin, been a while Did you get the weird triangle thing on your pencil to try to teach you how to hold it "correctly?" And if so did you just learn a really hosed up way of holding it so that you've never been able to learn how to use chopsticks good? Or was that just me

As a kid I perfected that weirdo grip to keep from smudging everything, never once considered maybe that's why I'm not very good with chopsticks! (it may also be an unrelated issue around me being an uncoordinated mess!). As an adult, whenever I do write with pen to paper I've completely lost the muscle memory for that grip and just smudge everything, since I guess almost everything I write now is on a keyboard. It did put a major dampener on my drawing though, since I'd inevitably smudge what I was working on, but drawing on a tablet never felt as "real" to me as on a pad of paper.
