Honestly I wonder if the best tactic isn't to simply increase the minimum card count to 30. It'll increase RNG and also some less played cards as well.

If the stdh had more cards for their cliches and had to randomly draw them, I think some real gold could be had.

If I remember correctly, it's because the slides go way far out from their base structure and the company wasn't really experienced in it, so they're unusually flimsy.

Awkward for tall but not fat dudes. Like, the only person in the NBA who can go on that is Isaiah Washington. Which I hope he does, and then tells everyone else it was loving awesome. Sorry you missed it, Lebron!

I don't see a problem with rides having weight limits even if it impacts more than just the fatties. They aren't obligated to build everything out of reinforced titanium to accomodate every single guest - if you don't like it, just go somewhere else. Or get peter pan to scold the minimum wage employee for doing his job I guess.

That's well into overweight and not terribly far from obese. That's not a completely average body type in any sane place. You should (likely, depending how you're built) weight between 160 and 190.

You "normies" just don't understand how hard it is for an intelligent male like me to find a woman in this cultural wasteland where people only watch unintelligent shows like Big Bang Theory. The other day, I almost had some hope. I saw a :siren:FEMALE:siren: wearing a shirt from the super intelligent and grimdark science fiction show Rick and Morty ("normies" can't understand 90% of the jokes and references in this show, they just aren't intelligent enough). I found myself immediately attracted to this :siren:FEMALE:siren: but I was doubtful; could a :siren:FEMALE:siren: really be intelligent enough to understand all of the quantum physics and multiple universes in Rick and Morty? I theorized that a :siren:FEMALE:siren: could not. With my hypothesis in place, I went out to prove my point.

"Do you understand where that shirt is from?" I asked, tipping my fedora and fluttering my trench coat.

"Um like some cartoon I guess," she replied, a vacant stare showing the absence of any intelligence, even for a :siren:FEMALE:siren:. "Like, get schwifty?" She obviously didn't even understand the subtle irony of schwifty and it's call out to modern rap music. Still, I pressed on, perhaps she could learn if she had the right teacher.

"Have you ever watched any of the episodes?"

"Um like yeah I watched a few and thought the shirt was cute."

loving whore. She probably didn't pay attention. Probably texting or talking to some chad while the greatest TV show in all of existence was playing in the background. I gave one final try to see if perhaps her subconscious at least picked up on Rick and Morty's deep social commentary.

"How many schmeckles did you pay for the shirt?"

"Uh like what's a schmeckle I paid $20."

I sighed, my hypothesis confirmed, there is no intelligence to be found. "Point proven," I mumbled as I walked away, my trench coat billowing behind me. "Have a nice day, miss."

I think the part where they didn't design it that way on purpose and now have to deal with people trying to get Peter Pan to scold people is where the problem is. Or maybe they did do it that way on purpose and it's a new way for them to punish their operators, who knows.

I was just thinking that in theory you could come up with a ride idea that might just not work with super strong reinforced material.

Twice, that I know of, a dude approached her and tried to quiz her about what was on the shirt.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

We were on a business trip and my colleague has lost his beanie somewhere. It was getting cold, so he decided to buy one at a nerd shop. He's picked one with an 8-bit Link on it very enthusiastically, and I hummed the jingle from the game that plays when you find an item. Turns out he didn't even know the name of the character and had only very vague recollection of seeing the game somewhere. And I couldn't care less, really. Although it is puzzling why one would want to buy nerd merch for things they aren't really attached to. It's not like that merch is of good quality or designs are particularly great.

proposal: a cartoon with references to pop culture sci-fi themes coated with a veneer of "grimdark nihlism" that has no internal consistency

reality: a man becomes convinced that he has a high IQ because he read half a wikipedia article on schrodinger's cat. he briefly leaves his home and sees females wearing shirts sold at popular retailers. grasping the nearest by the shoulders, he shakes her madly, yelling "my nigga have u even watched Rick and Morty"
