I preface this by stating I am not a parent, so if you want to take my words with a grain of salt, fine. But overall, I don’t see anything inherently wrong with a senior befriending a freshman. Like, I understand your caution, but as long as the older person is decent, it’s really just fine. Being wary is one thing, but I wouldn’t step in and force a seperation or anything unless some bad signs crop up first. If your wife and daughter are both on the same side, and they’re close to one another, then I think that’s all the more reason you should just step back and wait and see for now.

The movie, Aliens, plural, the James Cameron one, is utter trash. It is not a sci-fi hallmark of any sort. It is garbage that is a total slog to watch and should be lauded as terrible taste from the 80s. Even the much shat on AvP franchise, with it’s especially looked down on Requiem, is better than the shit Cameron shat out.

The classic style MMO, laden with hotkeys and hotbars, fetch quests, and grindingly gathering resources, needs to be taken 'round the barn and shot. This includes such megahits from WoW to FFXIV.

Dark Souls/Elden Ring was never good, and was only ever “okay,” at best, and never worth full price.

I’ll take my downvotes, now, thanks.

In keeping things in the spirit of petty problems, there has got to be a better way to remove hair than dragging a razor over ones skin or having the hair ripped out with wax. But I’m too dumb to realize the solution.

PTSD and trauma victims gobbling the pills like mad, the skills are just a bonus

I’d give away two years for expert knowledge in two areas: a painter and illustrator artist, and a successful stock broker. Fuck off from work and win at the market to cover expenses, spend the rest of my time creating whatever the hell I want with my art.

My mind seems to favor the negative memories, focuses on them, and I forget the good ones as they are no longer referenced. So I really don’t care which years I lose.

An autistic wallflower becomes the latest in a line of clones for the god-emperor. Long philosophical rambling ensues as the wallflower continues to just let bad shit happen to him without ever just walking away or speaking up.

Toss me in with the “there isn’t one,” lot. You do or you don’t do, and the brain keeps thinking until it doesn’t. But I guess if I had to slap one on there, it’d be one of the most basic-level things that most all successful forms of life achieve: to propogate.

You exist because for hundreads of thousands of years things fucked, fucked, and fucked some more, until you got fucked into existance. Now go, continue the cycle, the fuckening must go on.

Why not do both?
colonizing and plundering of resources intensifies

My negative thoughts, mostly. Even if you don’t believe in do-gooder fallacious platitudes like “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all,” the truth of the matter is it eases social instances to just not bring negativity to the table unless it’s really needed (which is usually to shut someone down who’s being an asshole, or seriously weighing pros and cons of something.)

No. I think it will get far less coverage than it should, will get pushed out of the news cycle early, and Trump won’t be held accountable. The only way anything happens is that someone who’s pissed off makes another assassination attempt and lands the shot this time.

To quote an ex-friend who was also Christian, “A church isn’t a club of saints, its a hospital of sinners.”

Ah, life. Just like, all of it.

At 3 billion people, I imagine paper companies would be jumping for joy.

But yeah, that sounds like it’d be a bastard to surveil.

It’d be cool if it were true, but I’m pressing X to doubt.

Back when Overwatch was fresh, had a couple randoms I wound up buddying and partnering up with pretty often for a few weeks. But one of them was a really annoying person on mic, who was just very clingy with the other guy. Then other guy wanted to drop clingy guy. Clingy guy freaked. They didn’t split but I eventually just stopped playing. Don’t know how their friendship ultimately turned out.

Well, you see, their lungs stopped moving, for reasons, and we figured that’s what really did them in, you know?

Truthfully, I don’t think about it much unless the media bothers to bring it up. If it’s not a particularly strong element of the narrative, I’m not concerned about it.

This is definitely on point for myself as well. If it were also OPs problem, I’d say his high when the “something has happened” high hits has become so minuscule as to be almost non-existant and now he is in a desperate search for anything he can find. But also maybe he has an entirely different root cause.

It’s almost like I’m not referring directly to the article or something! 🙄 My response is referring to the left-wing posting around the news that tries to slam the reps who caved.

Love how the left is doing its usual run of hating how its side has caved, while missing the irony that the left caves every day by tolerating their right-wing neighbors for the scum they are. Like, newsflash, never mind the caving of a handful of democrats. There’s nearly half a Senate and House full of the enemy, put their by your enemy neighbors, and their reps are the real reason we’re in this mess, and the left is going to sit by and tolerate those voters rather than making their lives hell. Because the left is the “good guy,” and lose everything because the left won’t get their hands dirty. And the Right? They get their hands dirty, they suck, but they get their hands dirty, and that’s why they’re in power. Wake the fuck up. Now is not the time to be tolerant, peaceful, or moral. Fuck the idea of “Dems gotta be perfect while the Right gets to be assholes.” Treat the right as scum to be removed just as they remove citizens with ICE. That is the proper way to view them.

Not some do nothing, pat yourselves on the back ass peaceful protest. Brian Thompson deserved his death. Charkie Kirk deserved his death. Aaron Danielson deserved his death.
