I live in a part of the USA where, decades later, I still hear brand new and seemingly made-up idioms on a fairly regular basis. This skill set, making sense of otherwise fake sounding idioms based on limited context, is practically a necessity 'round these parts. After all, you can’t feed a cow a carrot and expect it to shit you out a cake.

My opinion is subject to change, since I do plan to eventually give Eternal another attempt, but I know why I like 2016 better. It’s because I can go at my own pace and have the freedom to play the battle scenarios out how I want to (for the most part).

Eternal basically tells you early on, you have to go, go, go, go, go. Keep moving or you die. I find that kind of annoying.

But then the fact that you’re almost constantly being forced to use every single button, skill, weapon, etc on-demand, in very specific ways with a fair amount of precision basically kills the joy for me. I don’t get to play games much, sometimes it’s weeks or months between sessions. I can’t keep up with all that bullshit and it sucks nearly every last drop of fun out of the game if I have to waste my limited fun time having to relearn all the mechanics.

I just want to casually rip and tear for fun. Eternal felt like a micromanaging boss constantly telling me that I’m doing things wrong and behind on my unrealistic deadlines.

I don’t mean to speak ill of the dead but that looks like something my ex-bestfriend, Patty Henshaw, would have baked.

MY new Tesla? Doubt it. Considering I’m unemployed due to this clown administration and I don’t tend to upgrade much of anything, let alone a vehicle, unless/until the old one no longer functions.

The jokes based on formal logic trend as of late go something like “The fact that there is a tuna fish implies the existence of a threena fish”. And most of them are simply horribly tragic.

It hasn’t been every company I’ve worked for, but this has been a common theme throughout my life…

The more the executives brag about how good the company is doing and about its financial strength, the more likely it is that a serious downturn is on the horizon.

I just personally experienced it again, too. End of 2024, record number of projects awarded. Billions in new government contracts. Hiring frenzy. February 2025. 90% of those contracts cancelled. Mass layoffs.

Prior job: Record sales each year. Fastest growing business in the region in our niche and for our size. Always supposedly on the verge of buying our own office building, a skyscraper no less. Within a year of me leaving, they ran into trouble (not related to my departure in any way and I had no idea there would be such a significant downturn). No layoffs, but conditions got so bad that people left far faster than they could be replaced, until things stabilized at about 1/3 of the peak number of employees.

So all I’m saying is, if your employer is feeding you the story that they’ve had record profits, prepare yourself for the incoming storm.

Don’t forget to condemn the local homeless guy for asking you to spare some change while he also happens to own a cellphone.

I feel like the only person in the world older than 18 who has never used cocai-

That is how it do be sometimes.

Must’ve shelled out a fortune for that if it’s in the USA

The tape is a lie.

Mark my words, Big Minge will never let this technology see the light of day.

You get a contempt. You get a contempt. And you get a contempt. Everybody gets a contempt.

Hello, nurse!

Slaughtered? In THIS economy? Best I can do is have a fairy steal all your teeth.

Bologna sandwich smell will sometimes take me back to my days in the kindergarten cafeteria.

According to ChatGPT, the result is 355.

Okay. Good.

What’s this “we” you’re talking about? I would rather not even have to think about his privates, let alone involve myself with the inspection.
