Tomatoes are awesome this way, and why they’re so easy to grow. Even without bees. A stiff breeze is enough to make them pollinate. Perfect bisexual.

Good. You know the cops are going to hide everything they can and hope he’ll just get buried under assumptions and persuasions.

Remember:

1. Luigi is innocent. The state and federal governments must prove to a jury he’s guilty.
2. disinformation is rampant.
3. both governments NEED a scapegoat to appease the rich, who are actually afraid of a movement.
4. cops, the NYC mayor, and the prosecutors are sloppy. They’ve already made mistakes, and want to hide them.

Free Luigi!

“Everyone’s nasty except me!” Exclaims world’s nastiest man.

My sharpest shoes are to sharp for you, adventurer! You must find a cobbler that makes duller shoes!

I’d be more worried that the panel is running plasma though it. Plasma that often violently explodes when the ship takes damage. He really trusts those panels with his butt.

That doesn’t mesh with the expressed views of Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

What would you consider AOC? I would call her a progressive, but maybe the disconnect we’re having is over definitions more than anything else.

Well damn, that makes a lot of sense. And sounds fun. I would play it if I didn’t disagree with Ubisoft’s business practices so much.

I’m surprised that Yasuke was the source of the problem. They had a Netflix shine about him a free years ago, and before that there was Afro-Samurai which I believe was also somewhat based off of him. I can’t imagine using the only black man in Japan at the time would lend itself to being stealthy (any race but Asian, specifically of Japanese decent, would have stood out back then), but I also haven’t played the game so I don’t know if stealth is even a mechanic in this franchise anymore.

I figured people would be mad about Ubisoft’s business practices and watering down of the AC franchise in general. That’s been a taking point for years.

That being said, this is the perfect response: take away the anonymity of keyboard warriors and get them to own their words. It’s a lot harder to be mean when it’s two people, face to face. The problem is, most people don’t have time to confront everyone online.

Kind of like how COVID reset our expectations on everything. Bare shelves at Christmas might reset what we really need to buy.

So are we jigglin’, or…?

I would love to know more, especially how law enforcement is tracking us, but this has a paywall. So I guess I’ll die in ignorance.

If I was Sweden, I sure wouldn’t help. You’ll get no benefit and are just as likely to get on Trump’s bad side because you’re fresh in his mind.

I learned to fix it. Before YouTube, that usually means not so great. But now, I usually do at least as good as a job as the people I’d hire.

Fixing stuff is easy, and you have to accept that there’s no perfect fix.

Ants, set out ant bait traps. Look outside and see if there’s a trail, follow it to the source, and spray it with ant poison.

Cracks, YouTube that. They may be nothing.

Leaks, if it’s plumbing, you can buy pipes at home Depot and replace them.

Granted, it will take a while. Maybe all day. But you’ll get an endorphin rush when it’s done and eventually you’ll come to know all the ins and outs of your house.

But it’s you look at it and it’s too big, Google a company to do it. Even if you’re halfway, and find you’re stuck. No shame in getting help. This shines you don’t have a family member or friend who’s already handy.

But really, if you can’t fix it, can’t afford to have it fixed, just do what you can to keep the house clean and work on it a little bit or put aside money till you can. That’s hard, but that’s owning a house. Like anything in life, it’s difficult. But it doesn’t have to stay that way, with enough time and practice.

You’re already smarter than many, asking for other’s opinions. Don’t suffer in silence. I believe in you!

I play FFXIV. I’ll break it down by expansions, but it’s the one that didn’t follow the general downwards trend so much.

1.0 - trash. They couldn’t figure out how to work together. One guy spends forever making the best looking water wheel ever, in the background, that you never interact with. It’s too graphically intensive, and flows the wrong way from the water. It doesn’t match the building it’s attached to. Meanwhile, they forget to add roads towards main cities. It’s an unplayable mess. It’s literally unplayable, as they killed it off to replace it with:

2.0, A Realm Reborn - they really fixed it under one guy’s leadership. It’s playable, and works. It’s outdated somewhat today, but has a lot of moral grey areas and twists. There’s a lot of running around and time wasting, which was common back then.

Heavenward - they made a great story. It’s one of the best expansions. Streamlined and faster. No needless “talk to 5 villagers” quests like previously.

Stormblood - not as great. There’s a lot of setup they use later. The world building is really great, though. Some of the best looking areas.

Shadowbringers - the best expansion they’ve ever made. Perfectly balanced world building and characters, and story. This is peak FF, with the best music as well. Probably because they can ditch much of the old A Realm Reborn story.

Endwalker - ties it all together. The story leads up to “death is inevitable for everything that has ever lived, so just die now” kind of depression hopelessness that you wonder how they’ll get out of it. Well, because it’s Japanese and FF, it’s the power of friendship that saves the day. But, this really feels like the culmination of everything they’ve learned in the previous expansions.

Dawntrail - this is the downward slide. They force you into a role to support someone for ruler that is almost slapstick bad. Characters don’t make logical choices. The theme is all over the place and can’t decide what it wants to be. Many people say to stop at endwalker, but we’ll see how the next expansion goes, which is years away.

There’s plenty to say about the game otherwise, but the general thought is that they’re gradually cutting corners, taking longer, and under delivering as they’re stretched too thin. They’re feeling the same pressure everyone else in the world is - not enough money. Which is crazy, because FFXIV is THE game keeping Square Enix alive.

I have found that silicone wiper blades last years longer than the old rubber ones, to the point I’d replace the rubber ones 3-4 times more often for one silicone blade.

Just food for thought. Since you’ll be replacing them again eventually.

Rachel Maddow and her blistering burns aren’t going to stop trump or save us from musk. They’re throwing sticks and stones while she’s throwing words that’ll never hurt them.

We need actual action. Ideally from elected officials pushing back, public figures, and every citizen refusing to be sucked into the MAGA cult and their objectives.

If you’re smart, pull your investments from them because it’s only a matter of time before they push some AI built update with minimal/no oversight and totally fuck up, like crowdstrike did.

Pretty sure that’s a snapping turtle. I wouldn’t want to get that close to it’s jaws.

Anecdotal, you still learn people and you can build a community reputation playing PvP in FFXIV. We don’t get to choose the map, and you’ll still see some people only once, but you get to know who’s who. The problem is, it’s not as fast as fortnite or other games. Which is a large turn off for many. But the slower (just barely slower) pace is more forgiving towards people that are middle aged and can’t compete with top tier fortnite/ League of Legends, etc types.

Well shit. I guess I can’t play it anymore. There’s still duotrigordle, waffle, and a million others though. Plus I was starting to see ads on the app.
