Loophole!

That got a genuine laugh out of me.

I’m hurt that you have no Atari.

No, wait, I’m hurt that you said some are older than you and you have nothing from before I was 14 or so.

No, wait, I’m hurt because I’m old and my joints ache.

Nah, he knows the postal service can now just be shut down, Constitution be damned. He did his job and burned down his competition.

Fair point.

He charged people to do it.

He was a professional terrorist.

A buddy of mine was interviewing for a job and got it in part because he was a player in one of my games. They knew they could get along with him.

You’re right, it’s exclusive when it shouldn’t be.

I would expand the question. “Sci-fi had always inspired me, what clicks for you and why?”

I don’t see it that way at all.

This woman has no credibility at all due to her prior words and actions, and even if it were not true, giving a speech in front of the House of Representatives is not the right venue.

So what is she doing? Wasting all our time.

On Reddit, the conversation was usually incredibly angry and rude.

Here, some people fall back into that habit, but it’s usually calmer and more thoughtful.

So that’s what I try to do, try to be encouraging and uplifting when I can.

I’ve always felt pride in the ideals of my nation, and shame from its actions.

But at least I still hold onto the ideals. It’s not nothing.

Made for a very awkward video, wherein a ton of people shat themselves in their cars and then got out and wandered around, looking for a bathroom.

We’ve all done it, but we didn’t mingle with each other afterwards.

What’s a better resource?

I was hoping more for the “living in my head rent free” pricing tier.

Or ships it off to a country struggling to develop its economy so they can crash that country’s textile industry.

Lately the reason that I hate it is that when I click on the channel and start typing, it starts browsing through the channel link instead of putting what I type into the channel. And it’s intermittent, so much more infuriating.

I’m 50 and have severe IBS. That, combined with a hernia I didn’t know I had, almost killed me.

I spent a decade back living with my parents in my 30s trying to figure it out, get healthy, and rebuild my life again.

Then my job became taking care of my mom while she died.

I kept myself sane with gaming, and did a favor for a local on the game Kingdom of Loathing. Didn’t know he was a local at the time, but as thanks he gifted me some pot plants.

That gave me a stake. My dad and I raised and sold those and pulled ourselves away from financial ruin.

At the same time a woman on that game took an interest in me and it got very serious very fast… because I was desperate and she was insane.

Once I pulled myself away from that I looked to dating sites and met my now wife.

As her sister has IBS, she was able to recognize that my condition was worse than just IBS alone. Because I was on public assistance at that time I was able to get the surgery and start recovering.

Problem is that I’d spent a decade training myself to panic when I needed to shit. And I’ve largely dialed that back, helping my other anxieties in the process.

We’ve been married a decade. I have a crappy corporate job that’s WFH so I love that. My own toilet and food makes my daily anxieties easier to cope with, and I hang out with my pets all day.

‘The Mount Lyell shrew (Sorex lyelli) is 9 to 10 centimeters long and weighs between 2 and 3 grams, according to the researchers’ measurements.’

…really? That’s insanely light for such a long body.

SPISPOPD stands for ‘Smashing pumpkins into small piles of putrid debris’.

Back in the usenet days I remember someone making a crappy freeware game with that title.

That’s right, a cheat code in a game inspired the creation of another game.
