Still the best game I’ve ever played.
My favorite line of theirs is “the dead people are underground and I have brought flowers because I am sad.”
What game?
Psychonauts.
I was always a fan of “Over time, my husband will lose interest in me sexually, but he will always love my pie”
That one’s my second favorite!
“I can listen to any phone conversation that I want, but do not because of my sense of professional responsibility.”
“Although I often smell of excrement, I deserve your respect because I provide a valuable service.”
Thanks for not stretching this into four panels with a hidden panel gimmick or some shit.
Plus it’s funny
Road work ahead?
uh, yeah, i sure hope it does
My parents would always point at the “end roadwork” signs and say “protest sign!” So I taught that to my now-wife. At first she hated it, now she does it herself
I’d just be happy if they’d start when the signs go up and stay there until complete. Round here, signs go up but no work just delays. Then they get around to it eventually but even then it’s like 9 months depending on the job I suspect it’s all budget based. Start the job during a budget cycle then get to it when crews are freed up.
There’s a lot of reasons, sometimes you’re waiting for a DOT inspector to bless off on something before you can move on, sometimes it just rained and you can’t get proper compaction until the moisture level comes back down, or it could be as simple as man hours have already been used up for key operators for the week and they might not want overtime. lately I suspect unexpected delays are from supply shortages for culvert pipe or whatever. I use arch linux btw.
Lol oh my god love the ending. I use arch… I’m not that awesome. I love my mint. But it’s 100% at home. Winders at work.
meh, don’t worry about arch users looking down on you. The whole point is to enjoy your computer, as long as your distro provides an enjoyable experience then who cares? Windows provides the most frustrating experience for me, but i totally get why my employer uses it on all workstations.
Over here in germany, the government almost always picks the contractor who makes the cheapest offer for any given job. That almost always leads to them not finishing the job, so roads stay closed until the government picks a new contractor. And if they don’t pick a new contractor for 6 months, there are no consequences whatsoever.
Yeah and it’s incredibly frustrating that taking the car is still more attractive over here then taking the train. I wish we were as smart as the Netherlands or Switzerland when it comes to infrastructure and city planning.
I would like to give it a try if it was here in the states and a well put together infrastructure. But i conceal carry and that’s not allowed on public transport.
As someone who likes driving and will probably always take the car when it’s an option, I agree. Trains are just so much more efficient than cars, so they’ll reduce congestion a lot.
And since the people who don’t enjoy driving are usually not the best drivers, some proper public transport will also make the roads safer and less anger-inducing.
Ohhf. Im sorry to hear that. Guess road work is just universally horrible
This dispels so many of my assumptions about German efficiency. I’ve always wanted to drive the autobahn. Please tell me that would be enjoyable…
Germans are more well-behaved on the road than people from other countries from what I’ve heard, but I personally still complain all the time.
If you do get a stretch of unrestricted autobahn, it’s nice, but be careful. Since braking distances scale exponentially with speed, you need to be able to spot idiots from very far away.
I found myself in a few dangerous situations already because people underestimated that aspect.
German government procurement is horrendously inefficient, but it’s because of incredible levels of transparency to try to prevent corruption.
It means that even the most minute purchases come with lots of beurocracy attached.
You can look at it almost as its own kind of corruption, that syphons money into the beurocracy, but it does mean that things aren’t happing without people knowing, and that, for an extreme example, when you decide to invade another country isn’t the moment when you discover that you discover that most of your equipment had been sold for vodka money a decade ago!
Do you like driving long stretches of road?
If I can drive fast while blasting bidibodi, then yes.
Holy moly this is adorable
