I quit about a year ago myself. Everything you said is true. And I still miss the fuck outta smokes! Fuck they’re so good. I almost cried this morning when I had my coffee sans cigarettes.

And smoking weed wherever tf he wants, wherever he wants, and gets paid for it. Dudes got things figured as far as I can figure.

Nothing to add, just appreciate the write up! Informative AF

Do you know if anyone ever plays those defence games? I remember playing a bunch of really fun custom scenario games multiplayer.

You always believe the latest thing presented to you, no matter how ridiculous. It was obviously the very same time travelers who masquerade as pyramid building aliens, whom are also responsible for Winnipeg, the Harlem shake, and the noble platypus. Getting all willy nilly with the coconuts, fuckin degens.

This is what stops me from leaping to phone Foss.

Deep impact is a great movie! Directed by Mimi Leder. She also directed The Peacemaker, a great 90’s adventure movie with George Clooney and Nichole Kidman. If you’re into that sort of thing.

I never got the dune hype either, book or movie. The latest was fun to watch on the big screen, and the 80’s make is awesomely 80’s in all its 80’s terribleness. But over all it gets a meh from me. And I’m a huge SF nerd.

As someone who grew up in northern areas, not really. In fall or spring (Oct, or April) when the sun has a better angle you can notice. But the rest of the winter when the sun’s at a slant? Not so much.

Burn the witch!

This all seems awfully fishy

Thank you. People will eat organic vegan, apply sunscreen, exercise regularly, but when they get behind the wheel suddenly loose a certain sense of self preservation. And me preservation too! Cause I’m that asshole walking on the too small sidewalks. Assholes

I just switched using mint as my new OS. It was so easy. My computer runs so much quicker now. All my steam games just work. Feel free to DM me if you need any pointers!

Missed pad Thai. Pulled right from the Wikipedia article:

Although stir-fried rice noodles were introduced to Thailand from China centuries ago, the dish pad thai was invented in the mid-20th century. Author Mark Padoongpatt maintains that pad thai is “…not this traditional, authentic, going back hundreds of years dish. It was actually created in the 1930s in Thailand. The dish was created because Thailand was focused on nation-building. So this dish was created using rice noodles and it was called Pad Thai as a way to galvanize nationalism.”

Another explanation of pad thai’s provenance holds that, during World War II, Thailand suffered a rice shortage due to the war and floods. To reduce domestic rice consumption, the Thai government under Prime Minister Plaek Phibunsongkhram promoted consumption of noodles instead. His government promoted rice noodles and helped to establish the identity of Thailand. As a result, a new noodle called sen chan pad thai (named after Chanthaburi Province) was created. Pad thai has since become one of Thailand’s national dishes. Today, some food vendors add pork or chicken (although the original recipe did not contain meat because of the government’s perception that pork was a Chinese meat). Some food vendors still use the original recipe.

You have spoken in a clear, concise, and convincing manner. Well done! You’ve swayed this person.

And you are of course correct in your implication we need to begin design and production of the AR16 posthaste! A gun that shoot through 3 walls is the clear solution. Well done sir!

But in all seriousness you are correct. A nation littered with mentally unstable morons and high-powered rifles is a potently and predictably tragic way to be.

Carless for 15years now. I rent or borrow one occasionally. I even have a class A license (means I can drive with 18wheels and speak seductively on the c.b.) I’m not anti-vehicle by any means, but I am anti these cities and ways of being we’ve built up around them. It’s difficult having conversations about cars with people.

If you’re an American like me you were probably brought up in a life dependent on personal automobiles. It would be indoctrination if it was malintended. I have difficulty expressing how bad our country looks, looking in from a carless vantage.

It’s not a good look tho. Lazy, selfish, really unhealthy. Like I worry about some of you. And just fucking rude to nature. The sheer square footage we have paved over and devoted to these machines is just fucking tragic.

I love walking. Love the bus even when it smells like ass. I hate to be romantic and douchy about it, but you’ll find me out with the unwashed masses, clinging to the last scrap of dignity.

Lol

samesies!

I just switched to Linux. Breath of fresh air. It’s so nice to have a system that isn’t constantly trying to monitize me.

It is neater and faster but people cannot read it nor reciprocate. It used to be more or less universal. I like it and use it, but won’t if what’s being written is for the public.

When I was young my teacher said “If you want to be taken seriously you must use cursive!” She also said I’d never have a calculator in my pocket when I needed it, so there’s that.
