To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

I've done basically nothing but watch 8 Out Of 10 Cats on youtube for the last 3 days.

i'll never be as cool as this

you're cooler than a lot of people who do look like that though

aw shucks

Outlook is down

Iglooghost is way too skilled for a 19 year old musician/producer.  I can't accept it.

I'm being nickel dimed on shipping a couple Kyma systems to a Professor currently on a job in Europe for the month and he has done a fucking Ted Talk! He's trying to weasel out of 250 measly dollars in shipping charges by nitpicking defects that were already stated before the sale. Really? 

I've been working from home as we finish construction on the new shop and office, but with little to do. Some days I'm calling construction contractors or setting up meetings for vendors. Some days I go down to the southern shop to check in on the progress and eat at the bar next to it. Some days I'm compiling data for new prospective locations... some days I make a spreadsheet in an hour and have nothing else to do until the next day. None of these things really take more than 4 hours.

But I still get paid all the same... 

I guess I'm bored? Who knows. It'll be like drinking from a fire hose pretty soon.

What the fuck? Never heard of him, but damn he's good. Got a lil' bit of Wisp in him in the tracks I heard.

Like wisp meets glass swords or some shit. Super well produced whatever it is.

he opened for flylo here in Calgary when I saw him on my bday there, he may have been the show of the night tbh. Was dope enough for me to buy his newest album without listening to samples. 

I have faith.

if you throw a stick with this particular jack russell, you just get looked at funny in a "is this some kind of game you want to waste my time with, again?" manner

imagine John Le Mesurier with rampant Valleys opportunism

I've a 'friend' who lies all the damn time, just lies to your face like you're retarded, on almost every single conversation, doesn't matter how short. For example I was telling him about me going running and he goes "yeah I saw you at this one place I was doing some cardio too", and I tell him, I've never gone running at that one place, and I know for a fact you havent done cardio since it was mandatory in high school... Like it's not even a lie that's plausible, I know where I've been, what are you even trying to achieve here? And he doesnt bend, no way. Doesnt even go "well it might've been someone else", no, he goes "no man I saw you" 

thing is i saw you too, at the place where we all do cardio

why is this person in your life? lol

I've known a few people like that. I typically just say 'uh huh' to everything after a while and appear to be generally unimpressed/uninterested. Or start to suggest even more outlandish things.

had a frenemy like that who I used to work with. it's a pathological necessity for some people. this guy's trip was having to constantly tout himself and his achievements to make him seem supremely worldly and capable, like a massive inferiority complex compensation thing. he once alleged he received a blowjob from a hot co-worker of his in a moving elevator. the rest of us just lol'd at how impossible that would be between 3 floors unless he finished in 5 seconds. he still insisted it was true.

I would have a difficult time not directly calling them out as a f'ing liar. 

They must have other qualities which makes the people who they lie to overlook their flaws and want to keep them in their lives, Bulk. Until you've walked in their shoes you don't know how you would react. They may emit positive energy in other aspects of their being that you just can't get enough of, preventing you from confronting their untruths. The most diplomatic way to deal with this problem would be to take them to one side and say "this is my truth, tell me yours..."

I just place a lot of value in being transparent with people in my life. So I'd be taken aback or whatever if someone was intentionally lying to me.

But what you've said is fair for sure.

fwp: keep accidentally using the same shortcake recipe and it burns the underside of the little bastards every time. tonight is the third time I've done it.

corollary fwp: lost the recipe for a bitchin' beer bread I used to make and can't remember the ratios. I miss that bread.

i made a major screw up at my janitorial job by spilling a mop bucket all over carpet. dude i was with was really chill about it but had to report to the senior supervisor who was cool too. sounds like my manager will not find out. now just to never do that again

ps fuccccckk

pps (i'm not lying)

yeah, that's exactly what it is with this guy... that's why it doesn't bother me more than it does

My grandmother passed away a couple of weeks ago and it's been weird. I feel like she's still here but I miss her like crazy.
