Opening the door, taking a look, and realizing there's nothing in there you want so you close it but it's your mailbox.

It's hard to think of a more distinctly xennial artifact than Coed Naked tshirts, yet we sort of collectively gave up on them.

I wanted coasters that cost me a lot of money so I fold paid medical bills in half.

Listening to club music while cleaning the bathroom 'cause mid-forties.

It's, uh... it's not the same.

When you forget to thaw something in the fridge and have to leave it in a bowl of water, you still get to call it sous vide.

If you insist on dropping a stratagem at extraction, make sure you're the last one to board the Pelican- though it'd be better if you didn't do it at all.

Using the Exploding Crossbow makes me feel like a Wookiee.

Invincibility lies in defense, the possibility of victory in the attack. This is exemplified in the E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement, even against Leviathans.

If you have no idea what you're doing, the enemy can't anticipate your goals.

Need to take a bio break? Bring the Warp Pack and hunker down in a bunker to safely and securely freshen up.

Look for the rocks with a flared base, for it is here you will find super samples.

In raiding and plundering, mortars are marvelous. In immovability, only bring them if you have a fully upgraded Robotics Workshop.

If you're at war, it's bots.
If you're hunting, it's bugs.
If you're in a horror movie, it's squids.

Sentries should have a maximum field of fire for your enemies, and maximum defilade for you.

One who can modify their tactics in relation to bugs, bots, or squids, and thereby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven-born Helldiver.

Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the needs of the mission. There are so many stratagems, after all.

There are three ways a Helldiver may bring trouble to their squad.
1) calling airstrikes on their team without warning
2) bossing around randos
3) bringing wildly inappropriate stratagems to the mission

One of the happiest moments from my first marriage was my wife and I singing "you said you'd bake us a cake" from Marzipan's answering machine on Homestar Runner, and her mom overheard and baked us a cake.

A while back I linked #Astarion to #ElectricCallboy in a meme, and I was thinking almost entirely of the 'Crystals' album.
