I think the joke is that if this bag falls apart, which was supposed to last a lifetime, that it must mean your life is near its end, as though the life of the bag and your own are intertwined.
When Republicans send its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
Assuming our simulation is not designed to auto-scale (and our Admins don’t know how to download more RAM), what kind of side effects could we see in the world if the underlying system hosting our simulation began running out of resources?
I imagine it shows itself where processes get dropped, whether it’s walking into a room and forgetting what you were doing, losing train of thought mid sentence, or even passing out when you laid down to watch something.
Murgatroyd, which was the last name of one of the dancers on Dancing With The Stars. To me, it sounds very sci-fi, it makes me think of how Trillian combined her first and last name to make something sound more “space-like” in Hitchhikers Guide.
This is a meme, coming from an old copy/paste bit. Know your meme has a good write up about it.
Albert Einstein Copypasta, also known as “Malice of Absence,” is a fictional account of a philosophical debate on the benevolence of God between a religious-skeptic professor and a student of faith, the latter of whom is revealed to be the world-renowned scientist Albert Einstein.

Yikes, that must have been scary! My cat started refusing her treats about a month ago, which is how I had been giving her her meds for the past year, I can really relate to that struggle get them to take their meds. If only they’d understand that it’ll make them feel better!

I was surprised to find out how many people call them coochie boards. I dated a woman who called it that, and the first time she said it, I barely sputtered out “a what board?”
Especially seeing them out of context. I once ran into a newscaster on public transit, and thought they looked somehow different from the rest of us, but couldn’t really place it. At some point later, I had vaguely recognized them as a newscaster on one of the local stations that I didn’t watch, so I still don’t really know who they were.
