I once was asked to sign an "advice book" at a wedding. This was literally the best advice I could ever offer.

me: "Wow, this toot is doing numbers!"

my wife: "π˜”π˜  toot is doing numbers too!"

me: "But you aren't on Mastodon..."

my wife:

I've never been good enough at Contra to beat stage 2 even with the spread gun.

@docpop

I've never heard of an advice book but if I ever see one I'll leave my best piece of advice in it.

Don't use semicolons.

My code, just now
@docpop I’m going to try this because I’m bad at games and I like tricks to help me make progress.
@docpop The one that I did was "You will be forgiven if you forget to put the seat down after you use the toilet. That is not true if you forget to put the seat up before you use it."
@scottmichaud @docpop ...and it's even worse if you forget to put the *lid* up before you use it. πŸ˜¬πŸ‘Ž
@docpop this is great. Also very true.
@docpop that’s some solid advice, and a great game

@docpop

I say this as a retro gamer: you are a gentleman and a scholar. *Thank you.*

@docpop reminds me of Preacher's recorded farewell in Deep Blue Sea
@mvaneerde I just looked up that clip and you are totally right. Same vibe and good advice.
@docpop good advice, but your handwriting is awful (as is mine).
@docpop Not all heroes wear cape!
@docpop that is so funny! (And good advice)
@docpop "Turn brunch into an open house sketch-along hangout at the bike messenger bar" would have been mine, but you already know that trick.
