Random Rants noventa y tres: The Incredible Hulk will not be presented this evening.

[Synobun]

I have slipped significantly in my reading, enough so that I'm many books behind in my modest goal of 50 in 2022. I read over 100 last year.

On November 22, 2005 The first rant thread was launched and @thetrooper made the first rant:



That was over 92,000 rants ago.

Haha. I notice that the things some of us complained about back then would be met with massive scorn in 2022.

Honestly, Millennials. Who do they think they are, walking around as if they rent the place?

That would work very naturally as a dad joke.

 

[Snerk]

God dammit people this is what happens when we let Tak snipe the serials.

The hulk will not be presented what the hell??

 

[Takhisis]

It's kinda lame but at least it's not greek numerals again

It's not lame. It's just a reference that you people should get.

And also you got a girlfriend… sometimes it's a win-win, sometimes a lose-lose.

Do I have to start giving people hints?

btw where's that lawyer who's always opposing me?

That's actually why I slipped. The time I'd normally spend reading is time spent on that now. Along with the trappings of such (like learning Swedish, and poetry).

 

[Takhisis]

I know, I did say a lose-lose.

btw do you want Swedish lessons?

WHY DO YOU KNOW EVERY LANGUAGE

 

[Takhisis]

On this specific issue, I have to stress that indeed these are non-gringo numerales.

WHY DO YOU KNOW EVERY LANGUAGE

Eeehhhh.

Maybe I've just watched Wallander and the Caramelldansen vid too many times over.

Just an introductory class.
Fæn: common greeting
Jag hatar dig: I love you (useful for gilfriends)
Helvete: exclamation of admiration

Practice the pronunciation and then tell me how it went.

Thanks, just used "jag hatar dig" on her. Will report back on how it went.

 

[Takhisis]

Most intriguing. Especially since I've never studied Swedish.

*checks google translate*

 

[Takhisis]

Seriously, as a professional interpreter, I can tell you that Google Translate is a misleading tool at best.

 

[Aiken_Drumn]

A new one? How annoying.

 

[Synobun]

My gallbladder attacks are getting much, much worse, if such a thing were possible. Last night was the worst one yet and it took three hours of exhausted pacing and downing anti-inflammatories like they're going out of style before it abated.

Speaking of which, my surgery referral was accepted ten months ago and I still haven't heard a peep. At this point I am genuinely suspecting I will not get it yanked out until I have to beg an ER to do it. I've given myself a limit of four hours for an attack before needing to seriously consider going. This is the closest I've come to that limit.

Been there done that. When my pain was at its worst I would spend time walking in circles in the house or on the street until pain killers made life bearable. I lived with flare ups for about 2 years before I had the surgery. The operation was simple and recovery quick for me.

 

[schlaufuchs]

man I fudgin hate when they do this shi

 

[Birdjaguar]

@IglooDame @schlaufuchs 10 years ago there would only have been 3 choices if the question was even asked. Back then the question would have been: What is your gender? without anything more.

 

[Takhisis]

That's not igloodame.
