this tweet is really funny because they blurred the patches for being cheap cringe from amazon (left one is a punisher logo and right one is horny) but blurring them just made them look worse and now all of the quotes are assuming they're nazi patches
About a week ago I attempted to roll down my window at the Chick Fil A drive through, but nothing happened. I opened the car door slightly and explained to the smiling teenager standing there with an iPad that my window button wasn’t working. I tried to restart the car but all I got was a pathetic clicking noise. Instantly it hit me that my car had literally just died in the chick fil a drive through. During the dinner rush. Embarrassed as hell I apologized profusely to the kid, who immediately assured me that this happens all the time and not to worry about it. I was about 45 minutes from home, 7 months pregnant, didn’t have jumper cables with me, and my husband was out of town. He immediately got his manager who got me a chair and a huge glass of ice water, and told me I could wait inside if I wanted to (it was hot as hell) while they figured it out. 3 or 4 coworkers come out to jump my car and doubled up the drive through line on the other side. People were honking for the first 5 mins but they were able to get the line moving quickly and jumped my car so that I was able to move it in about 20 minutes. After this the manager comped me a free meal, anything I wanted. I couldn’t help but wonder how differently this would have played out if I had decided to stop at McDonalds
Spent a chunk of the day playing REPLACED, an awesome side scrolling 2.5D Cyberpunk action platforming game that takes place in an alternate 1986 where this mega corp is doing evil cyberpunk things, visually a masterpiece and the story is super engaging with lots of twists.

happy pride month to the straight guy who told me "oh i know i'm straight cause i kissed my guy friend once and i hated it the stubble was awful" and then kissed me and said "oh wow that was like kissing a girl...so soft"
While I was in the Army, there was a period in which they were overly focused on alcohol consumption. They made us do periodic questions about alcohol use.
Upfront, let's be clear: my entire life, I've never been much of a drinker. I'm a notorious lightweight because I drink so rarely. I'm a cheapskate who doesn't like spending money and I hate the spins and hangovers.
But, I am still a fairly normal man and so I'd partake occasionally. If I am drinking at all it is either to have a 1-2 beers at a function, a single beer over a restaurant lunch/dinner, or I am drinking with intent to get blasted. There's no in between.
During my time in the Army, this translated to usually drinking 0.0 beers a week, except for the quarterly party I'd go to where I'd down 10-20 at a time.
I took a questionnaire that asked how many drinks I have a week. I answered "Approximately 0.03." They asked if I ever drank to the point of blackout. Yeah, like three times or so in my life.
That was it.
This use was enough for the Army to flag me as a 'potential alcoholic' and require me to at least get screened by a provider. I worked out the math and explained that this translates to a decimal point of beers a week, and that was enough to get me out of the process, but that was insane.
You know what is even more insane? I've encountered people who think this is appropriate. They think having drank to blackout even once in life should have someone cut back.
Somehow in a culture of rampant weed, coke, fent, meth, high risk sex, gang violence, and overall degenerate morality, we have effectively created a teetotaling culture that views a single heavy night out as a warning sign of alcoholism.
No wonder nobody drinks anymore.
