Hot Pockets. Not exactly the best diet to embrace. I would have opted for Hostess cherry and lemon pies.

I haven't had either in a really long time, but given the option, I'd go with the pies. Just last week, I had a version of sorts of the lemon pie from a Filipino bakery. Close enough to have me remembering eating far too many Hostess pies as a kid.
 
I think there needs to be a word for "the kind of thing the past dreamed about as being awesomely fucking rad and futuristic and life-changing, but when it arrives in its actual form is largely mundane and of at best niche interest."

The Lexus hoverboard being, while legitimately impressive, still a prime example.

I nominate futurosaic.
 
"When we cut open its abdomen all it contained was a single cud. So I put the cud in a plastic bag, took it home, and set it on my desk. Since then, whenever things get rough, I look at that lump of half-digested grass and wonder, why would a cow take such pains to regurgitate and chew such an unappetizing, pathetic thing over and over again?"

I second the nomination. I always say "retrofuture" but find it lacking.

The English language needs futurosaic.

Jet packs are on the list too.
 
It blows my mind how many people want free computer help.

I get paid very well to fix them, why would I do it for free?

I just had really painful dental work done, there wasn't an option to ask that the Dentist do the work for free just cause I asked really nice.

It's amazing. People do the same thing with physicians.

They'll casually mention that they've got some medical problem with the subtle expectation that they're going to get medical advice.

It happens in other fields, as well. Just because someone is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives doesn't mean they have any power to implement your crackpot idea about how to solve all the world's problems.

I get it all the time in my field as well.
 
Its times like this I wish I was a druggie.

I just noticed this morning that I've been here over ten years. I probably should have thrown some sort of a party on the actual date. Perhaps a "Who wants a PM from the good little witch?" thread is in order.

A :kiss: from the good little witch.

This world is a much better place thanks to the existence of good little witches.
