Adult size! That’s a relief. Anyway, goodbye forever.

Generate a reply to a fediverse comment. The comment expresses agreement and laments the rise of this soulless and parodic facsimile of creativity which furthers the social and economic devaluation of a profession whose practitioners are already frequently characterized as “starving”. Amiable yet embittered tone, melancholic tone, eloquent but a little overwrought, high quality, faded colors, style of Greg Rutkowski.
The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”
“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.
“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.
“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.
Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.”

Along these lines, I recently learned:
Painstakingly is pains + takingly (as in “took great pains”), not pain + stakingly.
Helicopter is helico + pter (“spiral wing”), not heli + copter.
In linguistics, this phenomenon is called rebracketing.
It’s a mock search engine results page.

However, if an employer who seeks an election commits any unfair labor practice that would require setting aside the election, the petition will be dismissed, and—rather than re-running the election—the Board will order the employer to recognize and bargain with the union.
I was nerd sniped by this post for like an hour, and “false dichotomy” was the closest I could find, lol. You could say that the argument has an unstated co-premise (“the harm is necessary”), to which you are raising an “inference objection”.
The Talos Principle (+ DLC) and its just-released sequel really fit this niche for me. I’m fighting severe burnout and was specifically looking for a game without time pressure, reflex-based gameplay, or (because I keep bouncing off of turn-based strategy games even though I believe that I love them) complicated stats-based systems.
TTP is about first-person puzzles in the vein of Portal. While some of the puzzles can be difficult, you can work through them at your own pace. The level structure makes it easy to drop in and out of the game whenever, and the gorgeous environments and soundtrack make the world just a generally soothing and immersive place to walk around in.
Are you thinking of Samus from the Serious Sam games?
I suspect it’s just an autocorrect typo for “beginning to work”.
(You seem sincere, so at the risk of killing the joke, I want to point out that both of my comments are deadpan humor! The phrase is indeed “fancy a cuppa”, and I’m intentionally getting it wrong, like the tea preparation instructions in the OP.)
You must be “having a laugh” as they say! I’m 1000% sure it’s “cup of”
Also, make sure to ask “Fancy a cup of?” with extra emphasis on “of”. It is a classic British phrase
