Officer, I was less violating the speed limit and more coming up with a better speed, or a more fair speed, where that speed is more high than the one on the speed limit sign

This take is so incredibly braindead, I'm obsessed. The possibilities are endless.

Bob, we're less firing you and more coming up with a better employment, or a more fair employment, where your employment is less *at this company* than previously.

Darling, I was less cheating on you and more coming up with a better relationship, or a more fair relationship, where that relationship was less *with you* than previously

@HadasKotek @michaelgaubrey I never noticed how freaky the image generators do on pupils and irises until now, I was always too distracted by the hands

[Rikker Dockum /ɹɪkɹ̩/ @thai101]

Talking with my teenage kids. I just realized they don’t know how to:

- replace vacuum tubes in the family radio
- safely climb onto a Penny-farthing bi-cycle
- gauge the ideal consistency of butter in the churn

This is wild y’all.
