A temporary setback when I had to learn to make lattes without a thermometer, but this week several people have told me I make the best coffee drinks they have ever had. LEVEL UP.

LEVEL UP! That is the internet equivalent of a fist bump. I love it.

I'm up to four cylinders on my locks but I haven't had time to work on it in abou t a week. Maybe tomorrow I will be able to play with it some more.

I have been working on some bedroom techniques, but of course I can't really discuss that here.

tip 1: respect the aspect ratio. resize AYFKM face to fit in the space a photo takes.
tip 2: respect the source resolution. don't zoom AYFKM to be bigger than it was in the picture you got it from.

AYFKM tends to sit in the bottom left of the frame in meme comics anyway, so that's a pretty easy and contextually-correct fix.

other than that, thank you for not just making a plain four-panel meme comic. shit is so old.

Me and my dad used to get in physical fights- I think I like his parenting style better.

I was trying to say this in a non asshole way and failed- this would make me hate you if I were yer kid.  I would like it if you talked to me, but you probably already have?  Also, I am not yer kid.

I think his kid will think he's a dork, but then will remember fondly the time Dad tried to get 'hip' with him.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

I sometimes leave snarky passive-agressive notes around the house. They are intended to be humorous reminders of things I have already asked him to do/not do (sad faces on the insides of cabinet doors, because he NEVER CLOSES CABINETS, wtf is up with that anyway, how much effort does it take?) and not a replacement for an actual conversation. In that context, I think a funny picture is a better way to remind someone of something without being naggy.

See, now that would be awesome.  I guess it is the Internet part that would make me resent you, but I already hate talking to people I know through the Internet, can't imagine talking to my parents that way.  It is so... impersonal.

In regard to passive aggressive notes, we have a shared kitchen near our office area, and with the number of folks passing through, it is always a disaster.  Others have tried the passive aggressive note and email thing with no success.  In a pretty fantastic turn, my boss has taken to just throwing the dirty dishes in the garbage.  I like the scorched earth policy.  Although I've genuinely never contributed to the original problem, I've seen the disgusting results.  Now I can wash my breakfast apple in the sink without fear of three day old dirty bowl splash back, and without someone doing the icky Mother Teresa act of washing them.

As for leveling up, I have been working on a special work project that I am really enjoying.  I recruited an entire staff of barbers to join my mentorship program and have been just enjoying the hell out of learning to work with and supervise these totally unique beasts.  They. Are. Rad.
