It's one thing if the butterflies are depicted in contexts suggesting they're supposed to be alive. For some of these (like the pillow) its obviously just a decorative motif. Dead butterflies are pretty. So are cut flowers, mounte

I feel like Millennial doesn't really mean anything. When 9/11 happened, "Millennials" included some early 20s, teenagers, children, and some kids who were too little to grasp the situation. The way the world changed com

I forget what it was my wife and I were applying for, but we had to produce a "certified copy" of our marriage license. We were just like "yeah, whatever" and toted along the real thing. This was shot down because they

Old enough to be drafted isn't old enough to drink. If that's not completely fucked, I don't know what is.

So I'm thinking my state-issued driver's license might be fake. Some of its qualities: - Does not have any raised lettering - Has weird edges around my hair from the shadows that look just like the ones the author called Photoshop

It's a terrible sort of gaslighting. The amount of times I've been told my in-person apologies are insincere is staggering. I don't know if it's flat affect on my part or a reflex ingrained by TV dramas, but I do know it

Haha. I don't know what it says about me that I was champing at the bit to serve the Empire. I wasn't even interested in X-Wing, but I ran to the store to get TIE Fighter.

Children. Just last week my son told me they tried Key Master at a bowling alley. I told him those games all have switches to control the win rate. He didn't believe/understand me, so it was nice to have screenshots of the manual
