Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

    Let’s say left door lies and right door tells the truth. Right door leads out.

    Left door would lie and say “right door would tell you I am the door that leads out”

    Right door would tell the truth, and say “left door would say LEFT door leads to freedom”. Since left door does not lead to freedom, left door would lie and say that left door is the correct one.

    No matter which door you ask, they will have the same answer.

    So you would choose the opposite door of whichever one they say.





  • you begin manufacturing explosives in order to demolish all future trolley tracks, trying to ensure nobody is ever forced to choose again. Misunderstanding your purpose, you are arrested, and the people cheer that a terrorist has been brought to justice. Your pleas fall on deaf ears and people insist the trolleys are good, the trolleys are necessary.

    True, it’s not a great plan. But it’s not your fault. You can never move on from… the trolley problem.




  • I’ve managed to get two first round interviews, and I’m a “perfect candidate” for one and have been invited to a second interview. They dropped a surprise drug test that wasn’t mentioned at any point before, and while they won’t find any hard drugs, THC is legal in my state. So if I get past the second interview, I have to just hope they don’t care about thc.

    At least if they do, I’ll have wasted their time as much as mine, and more importantly, their money on the tests.







  • I can confirm yahoo still exists, and they’re great for my junk mail since I don’t have anything signed into it, it was made before you needed to link any personally identifying info so I think my name is still something like “fart boob” or something like that. 13 year old me thought it was hilarious.

    Honestly if someone managed to hijack that account, either they’d quickly realize it was worthless or I’d be laughing as I tell them to have fun with their garbage, I’ll be sending some more soon.




  • Sounds like your friend is just lame.

    In seriousness, 99.999999% of people will live a “normal” life, and very occasionally, someone might have a time or two that elevates it above “normal”. The percentage of people who live “above” normal lives is so tiny, physicists would laugh at you for using so many decimal places.

    Wanting more isn’t a problem unless that desire is killing what you have to be happy about now.

    In other words, “don’t let perfect get in the way of good”


  • And I’ve heard all the platitudes.

    I like to make people uncomfortable when they start going on about how my wife and I should have kids. She had a TL and I had a vasectomy. I usually start off with “kids are off the table for us.”

    We SHOULDN’T have kids because genetics on both our families are shit.

    We WON’T have kids because they’re awful to deal with 90% of the time, and neither of us feel that the world will be a livable place in their lifetime so it would be cruel to have children anyway.

    We CAN’T have kids because the medical procedures.

    If someone gets pushy about it, I act emotional, burst out that after so many miscarriages we have given up on children and the person should learn to take a hint.

    So far nobody has had anything else to say after that.
