K, build your own roads and public institutions then.

Doesn’t work, they take the cheap words too. “Fake news” was originally used for right-wing propaganda. The only solution is education so that future generations are more aware of and resistant to dog whistles and doublespeak.

The “every single American is culpable and therefore my bigotry is excused” energy is getting wild.

DEVO covering (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction is way up there for me. Loses the fuzzy guitar but the lyrics land better as an odd punk song than the whining of one of the biggest rock acts in the world.

Isolated as a pure salt, maybe. All those “uncured” varieties listing celery as an ingredient are making use of the same compound though.

Don’t assume that a functioning casino was his goal. He enriched himself and made the right connections through his “failures” to keep doing it.

You might be sympathetic to a recent video essay from Door Monster’s Kyle who definitely has a bone to pick with TLOU2 (and other recentish pop culture hits)

“Nothing gets my head back in the game like some Solid Oral.” “I didn’t believe the hype, but my teammate gave me Solid Oral and now I won’t settle for less.”

Sells itself, it’s perfect.

Just gonna pop in here to yell at the clouds. I hate the name “Liquid I.V.” for a powdered sports drink. It’s none of the things. It’s a dry-ass powder that doesn’t go in your veins. Fuck. And it’s presumably meant to evoke the emergency dehydration scenario of world-class athletes dying on the sideline, hooked up to saline drips to keep their muscles from cramping inside-out. Everything about the branding is crap.

The product itself is fine though.

Woah there, not all law enforcement. Still need park rangers and game wardens to protect the commons.

No, because my interests were “reading books” and “knowing things” and I had very little patience for people who did not understand the basic rules to a game on first explanation, for example. That’s still true but it’s much easier to select your peer group as an adult.

That part is like only like five fights against humans and robots, the only tricky part is the kicky robots will ruin you if you save them for last. And you’ve been without Yuna for a bit by that point so somebody (Kimahri or Rikku) should be filling in the healer role already. It is a weird and kinda weak story sequence but I think the game starts improving after that point.

Just subscribe to a major newspaper and write down everyone who sucks.

Bipolar is indeed what I meant, I forgot that Borderline Personality Disorder took the initialism. It’s also probable that he has more than just that going on.

Unlikely. The reason I didn’t have many friends is simply because I didn’t get along with them: my interests were not their interests. It’s much more fulfilling to find people who align with and elevate you than to seek popular approval.

I didn’t get many friends the old fashioned way and I turned out fine in the end.

I have an uncle who has been cut-off from the family because he refuses to treat his BPD bipolar (whoops) and his sisters got tired of taking care of/cleaning up after him. “Doesn’t like how the medicine makes him feel”. Pretty sure he started self-medicating with other stuff and found a woman who enables him, don’t know exactly (it’s been two decades since I last heard from him)

There are several high-value sites in the state, and I-5 is an obvious target just generally. JBLM, Whidbey Island Station, Everett Naval, and major power infrastructure like Hanford or Grand Coulee.

Electric parking brake is one of those modern “conveniences” I really hate. I want a physical lever that directly actuates a brake. It should work even in a catastrophic failure (so should the steering and regular brakes, but it should be a separate system)

That’s the difference between people that have to drive and people that like to drive. I would love for most people to have reliable, comfortable, hands-off transportation so that they could get out of my way.
