Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
When I left the Marine Corps in 2008 to live small-town life in Texas for a year, the town I moved to was around a population of 8000. The DMV for me was literally across the street from my little apartment complex, and I got a Texas driver's license in about 15 minutes. The only person working in there was this pleasant little old lady.
When I was living in LA around 2001, I would know of people who would drive the 200+ miles up to Barstow and back to use the DMV there because, including the drive, it took about half as long as using one in LA.

Just got the callback from the VA - they did me one better and because of this hardship went ahead and streamlined the changeover from the old GI Bill to the new one -- effectively sparing me weeks of unnecessary wait.
Like I said, the VA is staffed with wonderful people.
The DMV around here used to be a harrowing experience with cramped offices and long, long lines, until they started using a queuing system a while back. Now you can at least sit down while you're waiting. Also, lots of common transactions (like renewing tags) can be done on the Web, so there's no need to go to the DMV at all unless you, say, need to take a test or want your photo reshot.
I'm tempted to get my photo reshot, because more than one person has said it makes me look like a wanted criminal ("You look like a member of al-Qaida;" thanks, Mom!).
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
I'm watching the Grim & Evil-era episodes of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.
I haven't seen most of them in ages; it's weird seeing them without Evil Con Carne in the middle. Also I notice that the same background style with the rounded-off rectangles is used on both the title cards and throughout the cartoons themselves.
The title card music also sounds really synthesized to me.

That reminds me, I need to withdraw some money from my account and go to my dentist to get my teeth cleaned/fixed/etc. I experienced nitrous for the very first time last year and I'm never getting my teeth fixed without it ever again.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I'm tempted to try installing The Sims 1 in Wine...just for fun.
You act like your children live in a vacuum and have no effect on the rest of the world. You’re wrong. When you fail to teach your children discipline, the rest of the world gets to hear them shriek in a restaurant. When you fail to teach your children respect, the rest of the world gets to listen to their sulky snide tone in the department store. When you fail to teach your children anger management, the rest of the world has to clean the blood off of the walls.
Your children will be running this country someday. I live in this country. So when you are in the process of breeding the next generation of emotionally stunted cons and welfare mothers, I get to comment since that directly affects me. Quit failing and I’ll quit commenting.

Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
When I grow up (Hey, it’s gotta happen someday) I want to be a ghost Not a dead thing, don’t misunderstand me I don’t wanna be a corpse or a shroud More of a phantom of a human being I’ll keep my reflection, my breath, my thoughts Even hang onto pain; everyone else has to But no flesh, no bones No anatomical features (ugh!) I want a blank slate I want a clean start I want to be a genie, a spirit in a bottle A distilled spirit in a bottle, why not? They’d open me up and pass me about Take a sip and say, ‘Nineteen-ninety! A very good year!’ Or else, perhaps, they’d spit me out in disgust But at least they’d do so having tried and hated the flavour

Huh, now it's not showing up on my end, either. Hang on a sec.
There. Now it's the full-size version. How's that?

Having a physical body wouldn't be so bad if you could just leave it parked somewhere and never have to move it.

I wanted to be a computer program, myself.
Somehow I was convinced that being a piece of software would make me effectively immortal, though I'm not sure how much sense that makes in retrospect.
Having a physical body is a drag, because you have to maintain it in various ways and it can get hurt and it smells and has all kinds of yucky stuff in it.

WTF is he saying?

I want to be a ghost
Not a dead thing, don’t misunderstand me
I don’t wanna be a corpse or a shroud
More of a phantom of a human being

But no flesh, no bones
No anatomical features (ugh!)
