My dumbphone bill is only supposed to be $30, but my provider charges me $8 extra just to have caller-ID. Without it I can't even see the name of the person calling, even if they are in my contact list.
Your provider is dicks.

I've shocked friends, professors, and fellow employees alike for having a dumbphone. The fact that society has so accepted the whole "get bent over by phone providers so you can play with your little touchscreen thing" is a wee bit scary to me.

I've opted instead to get a crappy little tablet at a sixth of the cost of a modern phone. How much are you paying in hardware just to be able to accept phone calls, anyways?
Nothing, usually. I usually opt for the free-with-contract phone. The one I'm currently on cost less than a crappy tablet ($99) and is generally faster.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

So I got today's assignment. The same store as yesterday. Same store I was stuck at for two hours with a damaged tire. Same store it took twice as long as normal to drive home from. Oh, and today's Friday the 13th.

Don't worry, I'm sure any machete wielding maniacs out there are way below your power levels.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

I just fell off the bed, and my glasses slid off of my head, and the side part of them (the part that goes over your ear, not sure what it's called) pointed straight up, and the tip of it touched my eyelid before I stopped myself from falling any farther.

I came so close to becoming a pirate right there.

I'd just blind myself and pretend that was what caused it, so I would have an excuse to wear an eyepatch.

Feels good to be Hall of Fame. The only upgrades tat matter are the ones that give you second chances and bigger swings. Double-armour and Queen's mandible, NOT EVEN SINGULARITIES WILL STOP ME.

But yeah, deliberately breeding things that get better to kill you just so you can kill something better is brilliantly terrifying.

Is it weird that I'm scared to open the packaging of a book that I really wanted to read?

I ordered a brand new, never-before-read copy online and waited two weeks for delivery. And now that I have it...I'm terrified to unwrap it on the very real chance that I ruin it somehow.

Toaster oven caught fire whilst cooking my chicken-fried steak. Toaster oven now decomissioned for cleaning. Steak thoroughly ruined. House smells like burnt... something.

I've never once managed to kill a Horror. I can reliably kill Void Eaters, Grinders, and Greys. I can usually kill Amalgams and Fuzzles. But Horrors. Fucking Horrors. They always manage to get a hit in right as I'm about to slice them.

That's what I loved about them though. To kill the whirring-blob-of-fun you had to time it right AND get inside 4 airborne saws of death; it's death or glory, no second swing. All other blobs allowed you to have breathing space. This one took your lungs.

My current dumbphone is 2 years old, I spent $40 on it, and with Boost I get unlimited data and calls for $35 a month. only out of cell service when I'm underground or in the mountains. I also don't feel compelled to continually touch my phone, which is a plus. It has internet access but it sucks because it's so slow and tiny so I never use it. Games would be pointless. The only thing I wish it had was navigation, but my girlfriend has a smartphone so she just uses hers.
