The Discord server invite isn't working. Is the server dead, or did the link just expire? If so, are there any alternate servers.

I think this one is in A Good Old-Fashioned Wedgie, but I need the date. Basically, Nate is sitting down watching TV with Gramps when he sees a commercial for an R-rated movie. Then he complains that he's only 11, and Gramps is like "yeah, when you're older you can watch all the movies you want! And you work 60 hours a week! Did I mention I need to go get some medicine? My back hurts". And then Nate just sits down and watches Sesame Street.

Dear Friends,

My name is Dave Rhodes. In September 1988 my car was reposessed and the bill collectors were hounding me like you wouldn't believe. I was laid off and my unemployment checks had run out. The only escape I had from the pressure of failure was my computer and my modem. I longed to turn my advocation into my vocation. This January 1989 my family and I went on a ten day cruise to the tropics. I bought a Lincoln Town Car for CASH in Feburary 1989.

I am currently building a home on the West Coast of Florida, with a private pool, boat slip, and a beautiful view of the bay from my breakfast room table and patio. I will never have to work again. Today I am rich!!! I have earned over $400,000.00 (Four Hundred Thousand Dollars) to date and will become a millionaire within 4 or 5 months. Anyone can do the same. This money making program works perfectly every time, 100% of the time. I have NEVER failed to earn $50,000.00 or more whenever I wanted. Best of all you never have to leave home except to go to your mailbox or post office.

In October 1988, I received a letter in the mail telling me how I could earn $50,000 dollars or more whenever I wanted. I was naturally very skeptical and threw the letter on the desk next to my computer. It's funny though, when you are desperate, backed into a corner, your mind does crazy things. I spent a frustating day looking through the want ads for a job with a future. The pickings were sparse at best. That night I tried to unwind by booting up my computer and calling several bulletin boards. I read several of the message posts and than glanced at the letter next to the computer. All at once it came to me, I now had the key to my dreams. I realized that with the power of the computer I could expand and enhance this money making formula into the most unbelievable cash flow generator that has ever been created. I substituted the computer bulletin boards in place of the post office and electronically did by computer what others were doing 100% by mail. Now only a few letters are mailed manually. Most of the hard work is speedily downloaded to other bulletin boards throughout the world. If you believe that someday you deserve that lucky break that you have waited for all your life, simply follow the easy instructions below. Your dreams will come true.

Sincerely yours,

Dave Rhodes

INSTRUCTIONS

Follow these instructions EXACTLY, and in 20 to 60 days you will have received well over $50,000.00 cash, all yours. This program has remained successful because of the HONESTY and INTEGRETY of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully ADHERING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.

Welcome to the world of Mail Order! This little business is a little different than most mail order houses. Your product is not solid and tangible, but rather a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. (The money made from the mailing lists are secondary to the income which is made from people like yourself requesting that they be included in that list.)

1. IMMEDIATELY mail $1.00 to the first 5 (five) names listed below starting at number 1 through number 5. Send CASH only please (total investment $5.00). Enclose a note with each letter stating: "Please add my name to your mailing list." For other countries the equvielent amount may be sent, e.g. in Hong Kong Send HK$10 as this is the lowest denomination note. (This is a legitimate service that you are requesting and you are paying $1.00 for this service).
2. 2. REMOVE the name that appears number 1 on the list. Move the other 9 names up one position. (Number 2 will become number 1 and number 3 will become number 2, etc.) Place your name, address and zip code in the number 10 position.
3. 3. Post the new letter with your name in the number 10 position into 10 (Ten) separate bulletin boards in the message base or to the file section. Call the file, MAKE.MONEY.FAST.
4. 4. Within 60 days you will receive over $50,000.00 in CASH. Keep a copy of this file for yourself so that you can use it again and again whenever you need money. As soon as you mail out these letters you are automatically in the mail order business and people are sending you $1.00 to be placed on your mailing list. This list can then be rented to a list broker that can be found in the Yellow Pages for additional income on a regular basis. The list will become more valuable as it grows in size. This is a service. This is perfectly legal. If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18, Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the postal lottery laws.

NOTE: Make sure you retain EVERY Name and Address sent to you, either on computer or hard copy, but do not discard the names and notes they send you. This is PROOF that you are truely providing a service and should the IRS or some other Government Agency question you, you can provide them with this proof!

Remember as each post is downloaded and the instructions carefully followed, five members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the number five position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in cash!

BOO! JUMPSCARE POSTS ARE NOW BANNED!

These are posts which are spoilered and have an image of something Pat fears/hates. These are low-effort and potentially violate Rule 2. Posts made before this announcement will not be deleted, but new ones will.

Hope I didn't startle ya,

It was my brother's birthday and we were traveling to Brazil.

First I went to an indoor theme park where I could ride everything, but there was only 1 non-bouncy house ride which I wasn't too chicken to ride, which was a Nerf-themed shooting gallery dark ride (think Midway Mania). The other rides were a Shark Tank-themed drop tower and a George Pig-themed roller coaster - I have no idea where I got it from.

Then I was walking around in a boardwalk and stopped at this masterpiece of a kindergarten I had seen on Reddit that day, then I went to one of those beachfront hotel-water parks. I went in the lazy river and saw this kid who looked like a young Ralph Macchio jump in and die, he didn't even drown, he just straight-up died like Maude Flanders when he jumped in. His family was nowhere to be seen, IIRC. I mourned with a couple of people, including one guy who looked like Satoru Iwata, but then Iwata straight-up found the kid's tiny decomposed skin in his food.

We went to the restaurant and I didn't want to eat anything even though my parents begged me to because "it's [my] brother's special day!" Then the menu screens showed this message saying that the kid, who was named George G., I don't remember what the G stood for, was eaten by an octopus or squid-like creature (in a lazy river), and that we had to find his body - I definitely didn't want to do so after seeing Iwata's food. There was this blinding light and I tried screaming for help, but nothing came out of my mouth.

Then I was in the car watching the news on my Switch (which was apparently possible in my dream), and they mentioned the kid. Then we were in the airport and my brother was playing with these smooth plastic stone thingies... Then I woke up.

Everything you hear about testing sound quality and Beatles inspirations is a LIE. The reason the THX noise is so loud is to temporarily deafen the audience. Then small electric signals are sent from the theater seats to the person's brain, to give them the illusion that the audience is hearing. THX is supposed to be the best sound system out there, but it's actually terrible. The electric signals trick you into thinking the sound is amazing.
