Ive always considered giving money to record companies immoral. When I was young I would download whole albums “for context.” Moving away from tormenting, I just download singles from youtube. I can also download playlists. They just live on my sd chip in my phone
My dad always leaned center-left, and he’s only gotten slightly lefter as I reach middle age and get very left. I’m very fortunate. My mom is long dead but I would like to think she would be on board too.
The real bugbear is my extended family, typified by dad’s sister and her family. Always leaned into the Rush Limbaugh right, but really she isn’t so much visibly MAGA as she is aggressively Zionist. It happens with a lot of Jewish boomers; Does ‘Never again’ mean for everyone, or just for the Jews?
Anyways, I was a protest at our local holocaust center in 2018, protesting the detention camps on the border. The proudboys and others were counter protesting. I told her about it, and she just said,
“They cant use that word, thats our word!” “You know who would agree with you? The nazis?” “What do you mean?” “They were there! I have pictures!”
Anyways, shes been surface level cordial ever since.
I played D&D 4e with a group of childhood friends for a few years in college. One of them was bipolar. Anyways we had been playing 4e for two years. New campaign. We were using character builder, which spat out our damage damage for us in the following notation:
X[w] + Stat
For those who don’t know, 4e made use of “Powers” which are basically spells as you might think of how those function in 5e. Martial classes bought a weapon, which was a series of properties that carried over through out all your powers. That notates as [w], so the longsword has [w]= 1d8. Powers vary in how powerful they were. Each class has At-will, encounter, and Dailys… similar in function to short and long rest recharging abilities. My point is that encounters or dailys might do 2[w] or 3[w] or 4[w]. Use a longsword with Villain’s Menace and its 3d8. Then add your strength.
He saw 1[d8] + 5
My friend rolled his damage. He saw the +5 noted for his strength, and then he forgot it was for that and added 5 again.
So he rolled 1d8 +5 +5
I told him he only added 5 once. This blossomed into an argument which carried on for an hour. He went home. And then the next day he sent me over 2000 words on facebooks in threats and death messages.
A week later, he messaged me again, and noted that I was right. He apologized. And then he told me I could have been less of an asshole.
I thought this was this but its a similar but different shirt
I’m not going to lie, I got a over the sink dishrack after I first saw this meme like 2 years ago
Shes right though, I dont have any self respect
Like, people used rely Rolodex’s and calendars to remember phone numbers and birthdays, respectively. In other words, we used to write things down. When I left Facebook, I did literally go through their calendar and write down all my friends birthdays.
Navigation is a skill you have to learn. When I was an EMT, my FTO drilled the basics in to me. I can find my way to a city Ive never been, but I still use a GPS to find a specific place off the major cross streets. People used to give more advice with the destination, now they just say, “oh, come to this XXXX address place” because they assume youll be using a GPS, and the skill to describe “its off of this road” is both becoming lost, and a generational disconnect.

OP missed my favorite part of the joke. “It took 75 US Marshals to bring him down one cold December morn.”
HAHA! HE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE YOU, NERD!
Most modern people don’t but I feel like that’s because there’s so much of it in everything. The latest episode of Tasting History goes deep on this.
Not counting sugar? garlic powder or Cinnamon and vanilla. I use garlic powder to go with salt and pepper in a 7:2:1 ratio as like a base for everything from tuna salad to bean burritos. Thrice a week I make overnight oats with Vanilla extract and cinnamon.
Note my favorite is smoked paprika, I just know fewer recipes and synergistic flavors.
Maybe he could shoot Matt Walsh? As a treat?
why would the Israelis want to kill him?
That implies he can play chess. I do see the logic, I could see someone wanting to sac a pawn. There are a lot of dumb theories about who could be playing Trump, like the Russians, or Thiel or whoever, so I don’t want to speculate who
I think also that people watch a lot of simulated murders on TV, and they kind of don’t know what its like to watch a person die. Like Tarantino will make geysers of blood look very cool, treehouse of horror makes explosions of organs funny, etc. The amount of blood, at least for that context, is some but in normal bounds. I would say the part that is pretty terrifying for me, is that there are small things, like the way he flops back, the way he’s cut off… the simulations haven’t prepared people for this.
In general, I hire caregivers for disabled people, and I’ll give a job to anyone who will do it for what we pay (about 20/ hour). However, the people get a say in who gets hired, and a few times, they have chosen to hire beautiful women. They never last, mostly because its such an intimate position, (you’re spending hours of your time one on one), and some of these people being cognitively impaired, they couldn’t help but make it weird.
so with magic?
I would fucking love to burn Ivanka Trump alive. Fuck you, lib
