It’s also been used much longer. First known use of “happy as as a clam” was 1833 versus “free as a bird” being used in the 17th century.

*Takes both*

Although I would love if they kept their shitty music to themselves, I’m not interested in their crap.

For real… Any of the people who I do come across doing this are listening to the tinniest garbage that sounds like organized radio static.

And it’s always got to be in the grocery store or Walmart. How about while you’re there, you go buy some $20 Bluetooth headphones so you can listen to your garbage music alone and stop torturing the rest of us with your bad decisions?

You know… I’ve seen a lot of shit in my decades on the internet…

I was there for the tubgirl/goatse/blue waffle/lemon party College Humor invasions…

I’ve read the jolly rancher story, the coconut story, and others that would make some men vomit.

I’ve seen the Hulk getting railed by Slimer…

I was not expecting pregnant, barefoot Goofy looking like he belongs on a dakimakura today.

I only hope this doesn’t awaken anything in the guy from the FBI that monitors me… Sorry Steve… The poor guy’s been through a lot.

Not only does Goofy have a son. It looks like he had two. What’s never really explained is what happened to Goofy’s other son, Junior, after he found out his wife was cheating on him…

Right, I get what you’re saying. So I guess you’d have to fall back on the lore… There’s some that says they don’t cast shadows, some that do, and if you consider Bram Stoker’s Dracula, he’s able to control his shadow. Then I guess also the lore for why they don’t have reflections comes into play? Either because the mirror is coated in silver, which destroys their reflection, or because the mirror reflects the soul, and vampires don’t have souls.

I dunno, I guess it all depends which mythos you want to follow and just how much you’re willing to ignore basic physics.

Ummm… Because shadows aren’t a solid mass. They’re just where light isn’t. So even in a case where a vampire casts a shadow, it wouldn’t matter, mirrors still work in the dark.

How much trauma do you want me to leave out? Because shit gets easier the more I’m allowed to hurt you.

I haven’t. I heard about it, but I don’t have Apple+. I saw so many red flags just looking at the plot synopses for the first season that I’m kinda curious to see how they handle transference and projection with all the ethics violations and boundary breaking.

Oh I know, and it’s funny as hell even from my end because it’s so very true. I would 100% use a throwback just like that!

I’ve just known a lot of folks out there who were soured on therapy, even hostile about it, that I felt it might help to kinda explain why one might use it.

At least in my professional experience, it really doesn’t fucking matter if I tell you what to do… You’re probably going to just keep doing the same shit anyway. In fact, most of the time if I actually tell my clients what they should do, they’ll just think I’m an asshole. Not a jaded response, by the way, just 11 years of experience, doing it my way and watching others do it wrong over and over.

I deal with people with severe behavioral disorders. They know what they’re doing and they know what they’re supposed to do, but impulse almost always wins over reasoning. If I want someone to change, my ultimate goal is to make them come to a realization and to feel like they did so on their own. Then I want them to want to tell me about it. So then, when they come so me and tell me something, I can listen and give feedback based on our previous talks to reinforce what they did. Hopefully, the next time that issue comes up, they can then use that to make the right decision again.

The reason it’s done this way is because someday, I’m not going to be around to tell you what to do, so you need to be able to figure it out on your own. That’s my job. I can give you the tools to change. I can kinda tell you how to use them, but I can’t force change on you any more than I can live your life for you.

Think God in Futurama.

But… Stephen King alone has written 65 novels…

I’d assume the second was a reference to the song…

The third obviously a pun on “New Beginnings.” It’s a reference to it being both the first episode of the first season but also the re-opening of the restaraunt.

Why is God in the ass crack appreciation guy pose?

By the look of how easily that giant hot dog fits in that hallway, I’m pretty sure she’s been pleased enough…

The cruel part is that it was nested somewhere in the story and he scrolled past it just after day one.

Man, at this point, I can’t even get scab writers. We’re running on AI generated scripts and puppets.

And none of those good puppets either. We’re down to dirty sock puppets and paint on hands.

Hey, I can find it on a map just fine! I’ve known where it is ever since that prince fucked me over for a ton of money.

I feel personally attacked…
