I have a meme archive close to 3000 images. That is my answer.

The memes will continue until morale (or sales) improve. This is a threat.

Just a reminder, I DO have a Patreon and I DO have neat stories on there that you DO want to read by subscribing even for free.

So do.

Get some rest so the seams and handle remain undamaged?

Q: What's the difference between an orange?

A: Because one of them doesn't.

I love that anti-joke because it draws the 'wtf are you talking about?' reaction EVERY time.

Alright, time for some real talk.

The job hunt is not going great and is demoralizing. I need to start bringing in at least a little income so I have questions.

What sells a book for you? What makes you press 'BUY'?

What makes you sign up for a Patreon? What keeps you paying and coming back?

If you aren't lining your home with polymascotfoamalate, what are you even doing? Do you WANT to burn in a fire and roast up dark and lovely?

If you understand this, you have been on the Internet too much. If you don't, tell me what life is like in the outside world.

I cannot eat dumplings anymore without immediately hearing the CGNU fight song. It is a curse of being young in the early to mid 2000s.

SO many dirty jokes. Essentially saying 'yeah, I don't wanna get married because it'll make me a cuck' is just...hilarious.

It's kind of the prime example of 'hey, reading this with the cadence, inflection, and meaning instead of just reading the words actually makes everything make sense'.

...yes, that was wordy.

The 2012 version (yes, I know the director is scummy; no, I don't care in this instance) is one I re-watch at least once a year. It is SO well-done and the casting just clicks.

The broken wedding scene is just peak rage writing/reading/acting.

THIS. A few scenes from that are on the list as examples for the 'how you read something aloud improves the understanding' podcast I may or may not (probably won't right now) start at some point.

Critical, really. A dry shame hole is uncomfortable for everyone involved.

I'm somehow okay with that being my legacy.

Can't have a dry shame hole. Gotta be at least a little wet.

Are there specific places you look for those or is it just randomly?

Add a space heater, make it a little sauna.

Good luck! And, worst case, you can bring some pillows and blankets into the shame hole to make it comfy.

First off, thank you for buying! I hope you like it.

And your point about Patreon is fair. I'm just trying to figure out how to monetize it to any degree. I have two fantastic subscribers, but the cycle of 'I need to post more content but nobody is seeing it so I don't feel like it' is very real.

I got nothing. This is the extent of my contribution to society right now.
