Random memory unlocked:

At ~5years old, I placed my plastic cup on the barbecue side table, entirely too close to the heat. 15min later I went to get it again and found only a colored stain dripping off the side of the barbecue…

D: grandpa getting ready to put that gun in his mouth?!? Why’s he holding it like that…

You’re part of the neighbourhood too aren’t you? Why didn’t you call it in?

Wow, that’s fucked up.

In my area when you see something like that, you can call the utilities emergency line and they’ll send someone to fix it immediately. (even for low voltage/fiber data lines, just to stop the calls about it)

Around here, particularly in school; it’s drilled into your head that anything hanging from a powerline is an extreme hazard that needs to be addressed immediately. Maybe it’s dead, maybe it was never ‘live’; It’s up to the utility to determine that. You’re instructed to cordon off the area, keep people away, and call emergency services asap. (preferably their direct line, but 911 will handle it too)

If it was dangling down for 6mo, why did nobody call the utility company?

Meh, .ca implemented a server wide filter. None of us even receive the DMs anymore.

Take the perspective of things that get cooked.

If you’re being cooked, things aren’t exactly going your way… Others around you are having a great time though, dinner is served.

As to being sick of it; OP, you may be turning into a crotchety old man… Not cool dude; that’s like, totally lame. :P

Sometimes you recommend games to your friends because they’re bad games. There’s even content creators that explicitly look for ‘games so bad they’re good’.

Some games are so poorly designed or executed that the bugs and discontinuity become the fun, instead of just playing through them as designed. Horror games in particular just become funny when done poorly.

With some 3d printers, that lp0 message is kind of relevant again…

This one is Steve, this is Janelle, over there is Oscar…

The space-time around your triangle has a bend in it

Honestly; best change Elmo has made

But I’m catching a lot of the heat here because I’m the one who decided to do a LOT of the explaining.

A big part of that is probably that almost none of the mods listed in the sidebar are active.

There’s not many places to direct the attention atm.
