I have a bit of a headache so I grabbed a couple acetaminophens in "easy to swallow caplet" form. then I grabbed my water bottle, but it was empty. fml. grabbed the empty bottle and prepared to head downstairs to fill it up. Bumped that fingernail that I keep meaning to cut. ow. ok, I'll cut it now while I remember. but I got these pills in my hand.

no problem, I'll hold the pills with my lips while I trim the fingernail, then head downstairs for the water. OK, find clipper, trim. pills still in lips. OK, downstairs, OK, fill waterbottle. pills still in lips. Prepare to swallow pills.

wtf the pills are stuck to my lip somehow. Kinda like how your tongue gets stuck to a lamp-post, I guess? but it's not even cold. probably just a little sticky or something. just force the pills off my lips, no problem. hurts a bit more than expected.

Look in the mirror: my lip is freakin' bleeding from where the pills were stuck on them! each pill took a small strip of skin with it! there are two little cuts, one each from each pill. wtf!? how is this even possible...

there was only one way to express my state of mind....

I told my cousin and showed them this meme and I was like: this is my life now. this is how I spend my saturday nights. and cuz was like: taking pills and making memes! living the life!

A big thank you to all the Lemmy instance admins. We only really notice them when things go wrong. And every time something goes wrong, that means all the other admins had to perform superhuman feats so that sort of problem didn't happen to them.

Now it's time for part 3!!?!

The film involves gutter punks who take the anti-establishment message with extreme seriousness and tune out society completely. Spheeris talks to homeless teenagers living on the street or squatting in abandoned buildings in Los Angeles that go by the names of "Why-Me?", "Hamburger", "Troll", "Eyeball", "Squid", and others. ... Performances by four bands were filmed: Final Conflict, Litmus Green, Naked Aggression, and The Resistance.

The film premiered at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival where it won the Freedom of Expression Award. It was screened at the Cannes Film Festival and the Chicago Underground Film Festival, where it received a jury award. However, it never went into general release and was not available on VHS or DVD until the release in 2015 of a box set containing all three films on DVD and Blu-ray. This was partly due to Spheeris refusing to relinquish the rights to the first two parts of the trilogy in order to enable the third to be released. According to an article by Laura Snapes, "there was little demand to see such a depressing movie, and the few distribution offers that Spheeris got required her to hand over the rights to the first two movies, which she refused to do".[4] Decline III was also released separately via streaming video.
