The stickers thing has always been an “ick” for me. My friends enjoyed torturing me with this reaction to stickered laptops until I sent them a video of a person giving a talk with a massive minion sticker plastered on top of all their other stickers, to which even they were grossed out.
That said, I did have a plan to have a battle jacket made with patches like what the stickers on the laptop would be were I to attend a conference. Damn, I just realized I have attended a conference and completely forgot to follow up on that. Regret.

Italian Sausage Seasoning (from Penzey’s, even!). It’s part of my pepperoni roll recipe (it goes on the pan the roll cooks on, as well as is brushed on the roll) and really takes things to the next level.
Literally any discussion about Pokeyman (or Yugioh, etc.) our parents overheard was complete nonsense noises to them. I’ve had this brought to my attention by my mother, but only as an adult.
Also, anything we picked up from our era of flash videos - e.g., someone saying “so, this is the <x>…What a sweet <x> you might say” and someone else reflexively responding “round”, or a loop of “badger” and “mushroom” between friends: also nonsense.
In any case, it’s an important skill to learn the new slang: as an old, it gives you the power to make it “cringe” by using it. Very fun, on god
Not as long as OP’s, but I’ve had

If you’d like, two strategies:
I always keep a book on the John, and will pick it up any time I’m in the room. Gets me through that “first half is dry build” some books have, even if it’s a paragraph at a time.
Other is audiobook+mindless game. I spend a decent chunk of my afternoons when I’m in this mode just playing Peglin or more recently Haste muted while the book goes.
This book on the John I’ve done since childhood, it’s got me through some dense stuff, I’d definitely recommend it. Hope it helps!
Not to mention they’ll finally understand all those “THIS IS MY HOLE” references!

4·4 months agoFrom the first episode of The Boondocks, the pivotal moment for main character Huey when he realizes dropping inconvenient truths on the rich won’t upset them in the slightest:
Huey: “Ruin the party? They love me. These people aren’t worried about us. They’re not worried about anything. They’re rich. No matter what happens, these people just keep applauding.”
Bothered me significantly in the will they/won’t they dynamic of The Office.
The hell kind of sick joke is this?
The conquistadors literally drug women out into the valleys underneath where the Inca were barricaded up and raped them so their screams would echo up to the besieged, whom they later either slaughtered or enslaved, and beheaded the rulers after forcibly converting them to Catholicism and hid their remains so they couldn’t be worshipped in Inca tradition. Is that what you consider “just fucking”?
Y’know, I haven’t seen it! Thanks for pointing it out, I’ll have to give it a go this year
Huh, me mum was a waitress at one point and taught me to stack for politeness, I didn’t realize it was a preference thing. Now I’m not sure what to do.
I’ll still keep ordering the queso though, that shit’s delicious.
