My company changed PTO rules so I can't carry over time off, and I'm sorely tempted to just Ferris Beuler it tomorrow.

When your essay has to be twice as long but you've already made your argument and cited your sources?

Problematic page gap.
When you're angrier about something that happened to a friend than they are?

Problematic rage gap
Your herb garden has unexpected spaces in it?

Problematic sage gap

So there I was, running the random book picker, and I dismissed one 'cause I just bought the set, and another 'cause it was book 2 in a series, and then SMALL GODS by Terry Pratchett popped up, so here are 10 US Kindle copies of it!

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.

The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

I will forgive all the chatty NPCs in the world in Metroid Prime 4 if one of them asks Samus how her Morph Ball form works.
"I turn into a ball and roll around."
"No, I mean what happens to your spine when you do that? Does it hurt?"
"I... have to go." *turns into morph ball and rolls away*

Men stymied by concept of a woman having more than one personality trait.
The entire fandom’s (and Retro Studios) initial assumption: “Oh she hunts down the baddest monsters in the galaxy and gets paid for it, right?”

Nintendo: “What? No. She’s like humanity’s motherly guardian. What are you talking about.”
