As a middle school principal, I gas all my staff to be as gucci as this dope teacher.

Anyone have a recommendation for a decent kids smartwatch with cell service? I got my son a Garmin Bounce and the text and the service sucked so we returned it.

Born in 1980. Seeing the original Mortal Kombat arcade for the first time at a smoke-filled bowling alley that when I was in 7th grade was pretty awe inspiring.

Aside from that playing Wolfenstein 3d for the first time was really trippy.

As an American, it's nice to see that there are idiots all around the world and not just here.

That it's pronounced heliclopter and not helicopter.

I was on pretty good terms with our manager. We'd write comments in the computer on customer accounts to try to get each other to laugh when we scanned the card. Some of the comments were about the customer, most was just random nonsense. I remember scanning a card and an alert notice popped up with the message "I pooped in the drop box" and I just lost it.

Or if you're a generation older, the story goes like this.

The year is 2000. You work at Blockbuster. A man and his child are picking out 2 movies for the weekend. A drunk old man wearing only a bathrobe approaches the counter and loudly asks where we keep the pornos. The man and his child quickly nope out of there and you're left dealing with the drunk.

Short term, sure. But got 12 years of decent gaming out of my last PC that I just replaced in January. I don't know any consoles that continue to have releases over that sort of timeframe.

Close, but not quite. No mention of "ze little grey cells"
