As a kid, I once killed a fly by squeezing an empty yogurt bottle, propelling the lid of said bottle and squatting the fly on the wall. I did that on purpose and it took some attempts.

Sorry, cool. But kid cool, so it can stay.
In November 1988, I traveled to Yugoslavia and met the Medjugorje visionaries who claim that Mary, the mother of Jesus, appears to them.
Updates: Yugoslavia no longer exists. I am now an atheist.
I have flown from the Garden State to the Sunshine State in two different countries.
New Jersey to Florida, and...
Victoria to Queensland.
A little jealousy-provoking... But I'll allow it
I watched every minute of Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis" in a movie theater.
physically mailed requests to opt out of binding arbitration agreements
Dope. Is that always an option somehow, or was it specified?
Was specified. Probably pretty rare these days, but this was ~11 years ago for a cruise with Holland America (and I hope to never go on a cruise ship again for the rest of my life)
(and I hope to never go on a cruise ship again for the rest of my life)
Story time? Did you get Legionnaire's disease or something?
Nah I just think they're horrific for the environment, and a pretty shitty way to visit new and distant places
Eh. Planes aren't far behind on the emissions part - which shouldn't be too surprising given how fast they go the whole way - but I'll take your word on the rest.
planes also aren't really comparable to cruise ships in how they're actually used
Um, cool.
damnit have I failed the challenge??
Nah. It's a sidepool of cool, not the main current.
Iβm the first of my kind to land on a payroll on my line of work in my country. Iβm the reason my job recognized in the national job definitions papers.
I exemplified other companies that weβre worth permanent hiring, so I know at least 50 people got permanent jobs a few years after I did.
(Weβre usually hired for gigs or projects)
Okay butβ¦ this is cool. Doesnβt count
