(Lesbianna and Caroline sit around the kitchen table at their parents' house, looking over Caroline's finances.)
LESBIANNA: What the hell, Caroline. How did you spend so much on your credit cards in December?
CAROLINE: I had some unexpected expenses.
LESBIANNA: Like what? Did your car break down or something?
CAROLINE: No...I just, you know, had to buy some things.
LESBIANNA: What things?
CAROLINE: You know...a few Christmas presents.
LESBIANNA: Christmas presents were an unexpected expense?
CAROLINE: Well, yeah. I wasn't planning on it or anything.
LESBIANNA: Ah, I know exactly how that goes.
LESBIANNA: Like, you're just sitting around minding your own business and making out with horses and then suddenly it's Christmas!
LESBIANNA: If only there were some way to know in advance when Christmas was going to happen! But sadly, that's just a far-fetched fantasy.
CAROLINE: Alright, alright, I get it.
LESBIANNA: So you bought $2000 worth of Christmas presents?
CAROLINE: Give or take.
LESBIANNA: Give or take? What do you mean give or take?
CAROLINE: Nothing, we'll call it $2000.
LESBIANNA: Who on earth did you spend $2000 on for Christmas?
CAROLINE: You know, Mom, Dad, you...
LESBIANNA: ...Go on.
CAROLINE: Maaaybe a few things for myself.
LESBIANNA: A few things? Like what?
CAROLINE: Well, my old gaming rig was starting to look pretty old, and--
LESBIANNA: Ok, you know what, I can't do this anymore. You're just digging your own grave, Caroline.
CAROLINE: Lesbianna, wait!
LESBIANNA: No. I'm going out for coffee. If you're lucky I might come back by 3 AM.

At one point I'd tried handwaving it by saying that Caroline can talk to animals and thus obtain consent
Though admittedly this seems like a waste of a perfectly good superpower and it doesn't really fit in with the "Caroline is a loser" theme
"...and then I spent a couple of years on this forum"
"And how do you think your experience there makes you a good fit for this position?"
"A good knowledge of Vanilla markup, ease of interaction with LGBTQIA proponents, and the complete knowledge of all fonts in its purest, holiest and uncut form."
^^^^ Oh, they are, and I do not disagree. But as an amateur herbalist I would really like to be sure that I'm not picking something deadly and horrible rather than healthful or delicious.

Lest we forget developing a working knowledge of electronic dance music genres by osmosis.

"We're sorry, but there seems to be some silliness here, and that is completely unsuitable. We, at the upright legitimate job of awesomeness where it makes your opinions matter and you get to read books, must reject you on account of holy crud, some of these words are swears, and at least one is misspelled! And some of the people here complain about rules and police! What sort of subversive friends do you have?"
Come on, the upright legitimate job of awesomeness where it makes your opinions matter and you get to read books would so totally reject me. I'd be disappointed if it didn't.
More like
"We'll have to reject you and mark you... a descriptivist by association! Turn in your prescriptivist licence! Also, you need to go back to middle school... for ever and always!"
-and then Aliroz woke from that dang recurring nightmare-
Off-panel speaker: I'm sorry, Aliroz, but we feel you're not the best qualified application for this position.
Aliroz: But have you examined Appendix A of my resume, in which I've recorded my time masquerading as a Suchian locus of European historical knowledge on a silly internet forum?

Off-panel speaker: !!
Off-panel speaker: I have NOT
Off-Panel Speaker: This changes EVERYTHING!
Aliroz: Is this a "we have to kill you and hide the body" sort of "this changes everything" or a "and now we shall make you our emperor" kind of "this changes everything" or a "you need to go into the witness protection program" version of "this changes everything" or a "you are instantly hired" meaning of "this changes everything"
Off-panel Speaker: I'm certainly not going to tell you. But be in uniform by six on thursday.

IJBM: privatization of services that are inherently monopolies
OSU, for instance, privatized their parking operations back in 2012
So all the on-campus parking is now operated by a single for-profit corporation
And if you're dissatisfied with their service, it's not like you can just go to a competitor, because...you know, there's only one (Columbus) OSU campus

Speaking of logos that Ray Larabie built freeware fonts around
Do you happen to know the original typeface used in the PlayStation wordmark? I've always wondered...
As for the Capcom logo and Jeopardy! questions, they are both set in ITC Korinna
Have you ever considered perhaps mentioning if one thing inspired the other when correcting someone? Just saying "you're wrong" makes people feel stupid and makes you look pedantic, both of which are bad.

Knock it off, Sredni. I know you mean well, but your constant advice-giving is getting kind of old.
Making other feel bad for not knowing things is not a good thing, even if it is unintentional. I have my own problems with being rude about correcting people and I have tried over time to get better about it, so seeing other people do it makes me uncomfortable.
Dammit math nerds, in the end you did manage to prove antinatalism.
...crap, if Tach never comes back then there will be no-one to finish the Zestpoole saga and I'll lose a whole third of the people who at all care about my little RPG thing.

So, yeah, beat Twintania in FFXIV today. Fun times.
(To explain, Twintania is one of the hardest bosses in the game, and absolutely requires an organised group to take down.)
C'mon man my entire worldview depends on this
Whate'er is born of mortal birth
Must be consumèd with the earth,
To rise from generation free:
Then what have I to do with thee?
The sexes sprung from shame and pride,
Blowed in the morn, in evening died;
But mercy changed death into sleep;
The sexes rose to work and weep.
Thou, mother of my mortal part,
With cruelty didst mould my heart,
And with false self-deceiving tears
Didst bind my nostrils, eyes, and ears,
Didst close my tongue in senseless clay,
And me to mortal life betray.
The death of Jesus set me free:
Then what have I to do with thee?
