I remember on New Years Eve 1999 the local newspaper ran an article that was interviewing people who'd been alive for the last turn of the century and comparing the two New Years' celebrations. In hindsight I wish 10 year old me had had the presence of mind to save it, it was pretty neat.

Tbf to the guy you're responding to, getting the extra 2-3 days of PTO necessary to take the train may also be a contributing factor. There's a hidden work reform issue baked into this that also needs addressing.

I mean, it takes a long time for most humans to get hands right when learning to draw people as well. Hands are complicated; lots of bones for a comparatively small area and really complex joint structure.

Worked at Taco Bell in '08/'09 and we had a regular who would come in with a whole ass zip lock bag full of change and stand there playing that thing for an hour plus.

Having had an unfortunate amount of personal experience with a diagnosed narcissist, can confirm that that is a highly effective strategy. You can't 'logic' someone who's operating in a completely different reality and justified outrage just results in them playing the victim. Laughing at them makes them completely fucking short circuit. Hell, look at how disproportionate Trump's response was to SNL satirizing him.

Their whole strategy is basically breaking things then chucking them at the next guy and running away shouting "you touched it last!" so yeah, that tracks.

The good stuff is what you get if you actually go up to the deli counter and ask for American cheese. Anything where the slices are individually wrapped is pretty much just slightly firmer velveeta.

Ah, fair. My bet is if it happens, it'll be mid rant at one of Trumps little fascism pep rallies.

Because that's the line that might actually lose them some supporters and they know it. There's still a pretty big chunk of that camp that likes to pretend "oh, that was out of context" or "oh, they didn't mean it that way, just about insert specific situation here". If they go all in with straight up racial slurs those deflections don't really work anymore.

That being said, I wouldn't put it past Trump to slip up on that soon because he's been starting to get a bit unhinged even by his usual standard as of late.
