You were also probably electioneering, which you definitely shouldn’t do, even though I agree with your politics

Or even birth control

The book was excellent, by the way

Exactly the point here. Let’s force people to allocate money in a way they don’t want AS A GIFT BECAUSE WE’RE NICE!

Cash is superior in every way

To quote you Lindsey, you deserve it

Holy shit, was that a Frequency reference?

I do love German humor

That’s not a meme

Yeah, it was one of these when I was in the army: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Lightweight_GPS_Receiver

This didn’t necessarily precede civilian GPS devices, but this was during the accuracy “embargo.” Certainly though, GPS devices available to the public were cost prohibitive at that time. Later, someone bought me a Garmin for because they thought it would be useful to me in the military.

That’s the movie that introduced me to Elliot Smith!

I just put myself in that scenario and had the thought “man, what if she’s flustered about something else, and having a rough day in general, then I go and swoop in and basically accuse her of being poor in public. She’d feel terrible and I will have made her day worse.”

You would have walked out of there feeling like shit in two of the three ways that could have gone. Don’t beat yourself up over it; clearly you’re empathetic and care about people. That tells me you DO act when it’s appropriate and you do want to be a positive force in this world. Congratulations! The world is better with you in it

Is it virtue or laziness? Asking for a friend

No, but maybe I’ll find out when you hand me your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance like I asked…

Jesus fucking christ, that was such a good joke. His ignorant / accidental(?) racism as a caricature was so funny to me because I know so many people like that

I live in a city where most popular bands tour, but I definitely would travel internationally to see a show just to make a week out of it. I was considering going to RAtM when they were in Europe, because I couldn’t get good seats in the US. I definitely would have gone if I could have gotten better seats in Europe. Alas, couldn’t get good seats there either

I haven’t seen it a million times (3-4, maybe?), but the word “flibbertigibbet” lives in my head rent free

Oooodelolly!

Seriously. He has a significant body of “work” on which to draw from. Like almost a decade of televised rambling, hip shot word salads…
