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
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."
I never got around to taking driving classes. Partly because I don't think I'd be a very good driver, and honestly, partly out of laziness.
Speaking of which, the written portion of driving tests are apparently ridiculously easy.
@Yarrun's blog post: That New Statesman article is at once excellent and disquieting for the same reason: It illustrates and deconstructs the problem in precise detail. In two words: "Dear God..."
We are far too aware of our Critical Selves as opposed to our Creative Selves. We are so afraid of drawing a bunch of junk that we don't draw what comes naturally to us, rather, we make a few lines and erase them again and again until they are "perfect", and, after an amazingly long time, end up with a "perfect" creation that seems forced, overly measured, and obvious. We shouldn't be afraid of writing poorly or drawing poorly, we should write and draw poorly first and then go back and fix our mistakes.
This desire to make something perfect, non-stupid, non-hideous, and amazing is one of the main things that restricts the ability of people to write and draw.
So I was watching Springer and Jerry made a throwaway crack about his phone having a rotary dial on it, and I thought "Hmmm, I wonder if anyone's made a rotary dial app for Android?" Turns out someone did. I'm very tempted to buy it. XD

Central Avenue (from a while back), I guess. I just didn't really think of it as something that would ever invite ridicule, since PPG seems fairly well-respected amongst anyone who likes '90s or 2000s cartoons.
But then again, I wear My Little Pony apparel in public, so what do I know.
It sounds like I was looking at it the wrong way. My thought was more about ridicule from most people instead of from those who already openly like cartoons.
I guess the whole thing probably depends on how much you care about image. Some people avoid talking about liking cartoons, anime, comics, games or whatever around certain groups because they worry about having a reputation as an anime fangirl, nerd, manchild, weirdo, or something like that. Even if other people do not actually have any real qualms about your interests, I think it still can be kind of annoying to attract a lot of attention because your tastes stand out.

I am home.
Also, I get out of work at 5AM tonight, which sounds awesome. Unfortunately, the earliest my mother can possibly pick me up is around 7 or so.
Meaning I'm going to spend about two hours sitting on a park bench. Or, if I want to hike to the McDonald's there, fiddling on my iPod.
^ You can't drive?
I plan to soonish. But I have a lot of things on my plate as-is.
i can drive cars
i am licensed to drive cars
sometimes i do drive cars
I think never would work better.

Actually I agree with this pretty well.

It's the one about the smelly bus.
YAY!
Personally, I think that's one of the weaker books, but that's neither here nor there.

Probably children's literature. No idea.
But, hi.
