It's as if this was written by a mother for a teenager to help him or her budget, pretty sad it was written for a grown man (even one who wrote it himself) who can't help but buy toys meant for children.

I think funco pops are less "toys meant for children" and more "collectibles for people with bad taste".

I dunno, I can legit believe someone did this.

Some people don't care about burning bridges when they quit.

And while all the "millennials are ruining X" stuff is ridiculous, my mind has kinda been blown by how many people think internet stuff is work appropriate these days. I do a lot of shitposting but I keep that separate from my work, where I try to be professional. (to an extent) But man, a ton of the younger people I work with seem to think that emojis are the best choice of language for any and all occasions and printing out memes at work is like the funniest thing to do ever.

I was proofing this insanely boring procedure with one of my coworkers awhile back. He would read a step, I would perform it, and we'd note if the instructions were unclear or incorrect. When he said "Step 69" I half heartedly muttered "nice". He got sort of a manic look in his eye and launched into a weird rant about internet porn where he used the phrase "big black cocks" at least three times. Anyway ~~we're celebrating our 5th anniversary next March~~ that's how I learned not to make 69 jokes at work.

I kid you not any time something ends in 69 at least 4 of my co-workers will say "nice". They even use the picture of the dude from South Park saying 'nice'.

What kills me there though is, that's explicitly missing the point of that episode. Those people are watching South Park not realizing its satire. That loving blows my mind.

Its the same as people who un-ironically post "member star wars?" and then... go right into waxing nostalgic about star wars. Just... goddamn. Y'all are a self-parody.

I had no idea that was even a South Park thing.
