Not the same thing, but I still have my old Voodoo 2 3D-accelerator card (not the same thing as a video card back then).

Dibs on being the palm tree.

…and why do kids these days say ooh-wooh?

It reminds me of this more recent fashion trend:

When I was in California, I saw perfectly peeled lemons lying under a friend’s lemon tree. He told me the rats did it - they ate the peel but were very careful not to bite into the sour inside.

Why is my brain like this? Why do I always do things the hard way?

"Oh, there’s this thing you have to do that’ll take fifteen minutes. "

“I’ll do it tomorrow.”

“Oh, there’s this thing you’ve been putting off for a few days. The deadline for it is coming up.”

“I’ll do it right before it’s due.”

“Oh, there’s this thing that’s past due, but it might not be too late…”

“I can’t handle this. I’m going to pretend it doesn’t exist.”

“Oh, the thing that would have taken 15 minutes is now a major disaster that’ll take days to fix and cost a lot of money. Your life is falling apart as we speak.”

“I’ll handle it now, since I have no choice.”

It’s funny because endocrine-disputing chemicals dumped by humans really are messing frogs up quite badly, but now you can’t bring it up without people getting the wrong idea about your political views…

Does that doll have Spock’s head?

Back when I was in undergrad I insisted on calling my professor who wanted to go by his first name “Dr. Last-name” anyway. Being so informal with a professor seemed wrong to me at the time.

The summoning circle is broken! You’re free!

If you had the choice, would you choose to be that buff if it meant also being that hairy?

I can’t even.

If Tourette’s involves a compulsion to say socially inappropriate things, what happens if those things don’t turn out to be socially inappropriate? Does the compulsion switch to something else? Does it fade?

It’s show-accurate, for those wondering. At one point, Pinkie Pie makes a bunch of magical clones of herself, but they’re really annoying so her friend Twilight Sparkle pops them like balloons. It’s OK though, the original Pinkie Pie survives. (Probably.)

I loved it and I was really excited about the sequel, which I hated. They ruined the combat.

I don’t know about Oregon, but I see how people ride their e-bikes here in NYC and it makes me suspect that most e-bike/car collisions are the e-bike’s fault.

Cursed serif.

Is this loss?

We had those warnings relatively frequently when I lived in Texas. In school they had taught us to hide in the basement in case of a tornado, but no one actually had basements. So I never saw a tornado, but I did see spinning clouds high in the sky once.
