Get the Full-restard mug.

restart syndrome

An obsessive-compulsive need to retry a (video) game every time one messes up on it. Usually done when one is attempting to break a personal record, and has committed a mistake that impacts the chances of breaking it.

This is like the 1,000th time I've restarted Tetris Sprint. I've got a serious case of restart syndrome.

Restaurant

You aren't stopping me

Hym "Really, it's like the chimp ladder experiment where they put bananas at the top of the ladder and maced or shocked or whatever the monkeys and then (one at a time) swapped out the 🐒. The new monkey would try to go for the banana and the other monkeys would beat the shit out of them. They continued to swap out the monkeys (one at a time) until none of the original monkeys remained. From that point on, each time a new monkey went to go for the bananas, the monkeys would be the shit out of them EVEN THOUGH none of them remaining monkeys had been punished they way the original group had been punished. They didn't even understand why they were trying to stop each other from getting the bananas. None of them had experienced the original round of punishment. That's what this is like. It shouldn't be like that. You shouldn't be like monkeys. You should be people. But you won't even try to listen to reason. What does saying the name of the last restaurant I went to ACTUALLY do? Does it do nothing? Are you reminding that you're watching me? How well are you actually watching me? Huh? In the last 7 days, how many children have I driven past? Well, can you quote me the number

or are you NOT DOING THE THING YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? THEY'RE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE (those two things). Which is it? Well? How about this, if it's the former, have my hot neighbor come over and give me a ride (since you have so much control) and if it's the latter, how about you go fuck yourself. How does that sound?"

Iam 😓 "Maybe he was right about them not being able to think..."

Hym "That isn't an excuse! This is ridiculous. They're ramping up."

Iam "I know but we..."

Hym "No 'buts'! The danger is real. This makes any subsequent action retaliatory. This is why you don't imitate the creature. Can't even go to a fucking restaurant!"
