I would just kinda assume, TBH. I’m feeling pretty betrayed myself and I fucking live here.

I can’t share my walls with people. I lived in a townhouse once. It was awful. Train tracks 10’ out the back door, constantly smelling what my neighbors are cooking or smoking, and got my car broken into at least twice and the pile who did it bragged in my face about it.

Fucking people. What a bunch of bastards.

I like shot glasses because they are small, but for my wife it’s coffee cups. We have about 50. I think my kids break them on purpose to make room in the cabinets. Can’t blame them.

I’m an atheist. I do good things because I have a conscience. I have a legacy. Being a good person feels better than being greedy and spiteful. I pity the rich—never knowing which of their friends and family are true and who would abandon them if they weren’t rich.

I mean of course I wish I had more than I have but I have enough to be fulfilled. So why not do good things? Being kind to people is its own reward.

I have five kids. Three of them step and two natural. Hasn’t always been easy for them or us, but I wouldn’t change a thing.

That being said, I’m not sure a lower birth rate isn’t a good thing. If folks don’t want kids for whatever reason, that’s fine, too. Just don’t impose those viewpoints on others.

I do think the hard religious/trad wife/have a dozen kids thing is pretty evil, but that separate from just having kids. My oldest daughter will be having a baby this summer and I think they are only having one, and we very much support both decisions (to have one and not to have any more).

We Are the World which might be fine if everyone in the bar was fifty-plus, but wouldn’t work today.

I think in a war for survival you do what has to be done.

Here is mine on iOS

Someone finally let them know that Trump’s great America doesn’t include them?

It can be a lot of work to look up the alt code every time. Emdash on Linux is [Alt]+[Shift]+U,2,0,1,4,[Space]. It’s really easy to fat finger. It was really hard to remember. I still have to look up •, °, interrobang (phone keyboard didn’t even have that one), and others.

Spent last month playing only Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man’s Sky. And Disney+ but I’m assuming they mean game play time.

The cosmetics aren’t the problem. It’s the stuff that actually changes stats/abilities.

Looks like the law says the President shall establish the fund and is then authorized to administer the fund. So he is not required to loan the money out. So as long as the fund exists, the letter is the law is being followed.

The rest reads to me like he could lend the money out to Putin at 0% interest for 1000 years if he wanted. Although there could be other laws and definitions elsewhere that might prevent that.

I kinda wonder if it was supposed to be profit-squeeze-monster so give out powerful items to incentivize adventure, squeeze down the unbalance by limiting usage, introduce monster to deplete power.

It’s still sort of awkward phrasing that I don’t recall being common back in the day, but it makes a kind of sense read that way.

Java version seems superior to bedrock in just about every way. But MS bought it to monetize it and here we are. I run a local server to play with my kids sometimes and it works great.

Flat out have never played them. It’s like this: if a game doles stuff out to give you a chance to learn new systems or tactics that doesn’t bother me. That’s normally a single player thing.

In multiplayer I don’t like unlocks. And I’ve always avoided games that seemed like that’s what they did. I was really upset about the Star Wars BF game a few years ago. So wanted to play that but I’m not going to put several dozens of hours into a game in order to just play what I want to play.

I’m certain that any worthwhile encrypted communication will be used by evil people to do evil.

I had no idea this was a thing. I’m 100% going to look into this!

That sounds about right. I don’t think I’ve picked it up in close to ten years. Not much before that since hats. But there was a time I lived on that game.

ETA: I didn’t realize it was such a brief span of time. 2007-2009, but I played almost every day, so I guess it felt like forever. I picked it back up every now and again with longer times between and briefer stints playing each time.

Still have a soft spot for the game, I just don’t like lootbox gear. I’d rather look at team comps and pick a class having a good idea what I’m in for based on the map and the mix of classes on both sides. Having gear that makes e.g. snipers better vs. scouts screws with that.

I don’t remember all the exact details, but I go back to my original point: I prefer to play when everyone is on the same ground other than skill and experience.

I haven’t been happy about TF2 since they added hats and bullshit. I don’t want progress or lootbox bullshit. I just want to fire up the game and be on even footing with everybody.

That said, good for the folks who enjoy that stuff. It’s always been a pretty fun game. Played it off and on for probably close to a decade. Maybe I’ll fire it up again and wander around trying to figure out what they’ve done with all the maps I actually know.
