Obviously fake news! Trump couldn’t be assed to run around grabbing eggs on the lawn, that sounds way more strenuous than golf.

Yeah, I think people forget that the definition of a weed is simply “A plant that is unwanted.” Himalayan blackberry in the PNW is often a weed and it grows aggressively in a lot of backyards here, but lots of people keep it around because… blackberries.

Half to a third of the U.S. The rest of us know full well how bad this is. I really hope Cali puts its tariff exemptions in place and Oregon and Washington follow suit because otherwise we’re going to see the worst recession in the country’s history

I got one and I’ve been watching old DVDs on my puter

That feels kind of like saying “in a galaxy with holodecks, who would still know how to paint?” Cooking is a skill and an art, and I’m sure there are plenty of people who do it casually in the future for the enjoyment of creating something with their own hands.

Not well, but I got some practice with an old beetle back when I was learning. I’ve kept the practice of keeping lefty on the dead pedal because of it.

There are so many good conversations going on in that movie, everyone I talked to who had watched it said it was good but I was not prepared for just how many topics it covers so artfully. And god, I could listen to Ferrera’s monologue over and over again.

This means that real estate developers are saying “I can’t sell this house for $250K but I can sell it for $300K and give you a 1Kg ingot worth $50K” to get around the overvaluing of the house, because people won’t buy the house at the prices Chinese government insists they should be sold.

I mean, when you condemn homebrew for being stronger than official options, please remember that the range of official options includes both 4E Monk and Peace Domain Cleric. Stronger than the former is almost a given, stronger than the latter is probably best kept on dandwiki.

I usually give a pass to LaserLlama and KibblesTasty homebrew options because they’re well designed and tend to fit squarely between the ranges provided - as a bonus, LaserLlama makes their martials way more fun for experienced players.

You’re going to have to explain this one to me, because I assume this happens among K-12 children all the time.

And the Mojo Dojo Casa House ‘selling like hotcakes.’ And the CEO pooh-poohing a ‘regular barbie’ before immediately reversing course when he’s told it’ll be super profitable.

Honestly it’s got shades of the Charlie Brown Christmas Special, that weird dichotomy of Charlie Brown depressed by the rampant consumerism of the holiday season bookended by Hallmark ads with the new peanuts ornaments. But the lesson the special teaches is to find your own meaning in the holiday, and that it is inviolable by the consumerism so long as it still means something else to you.

This right here. The US averages some thirty unoccupied houses for every homeless person. A lot of those are just owned by investment firms who will sit on them because housing is treated as an investment first and a human need second. It’s not a supply problem, it’s a fucking greed problem.

The crushing weight of knowing there is a crushing weight waiting but not being weighed down by it at the moment, but knowing that the crushing will resume at some undetermined point in the future.

The things she says will confuse and frustrate you. She will pretend to love and care for you. She will abuse you. She will hurt you. She will threaten you and manipulate you. She will try to make you believe it’s your fault. She will make you question whether you really experienced the things that happened to you. She will lean on you. She will expect and even demand things of you that no mother should ask of their child.

Go and build a network of support. Look at how other kids behave with their families. Yours is not normal or healthy. You are not a checked box on somebody’s list. You are not a trophy to be paraded around. You are not her friend or her therapist. You are not a dog to be whipped into obedience. You are your own person. She will never give you the stability you need or the love you deserve.

There will be times that you will not feel safe. You will get out. You’ll find friends who will shelter you, couches to sleep on. They see your pain. They understand. It will be okay. It does get better. I love you, and you will learn to love yourself.

And hey, it’s not all doom and gloom, yeah? The games are so fucking good. Like there’s a lot of trash but there’s story and writing in some of these that’s so profound and it brings you so much joy. I know it’ll be hard to believe at times, but it’s worth sticking around.

Damn, I wish you’d asked me this a week from now, I just put in an order for an 8TB SATA SSD to go from 7TB onboard to 14 after removing a dated 1TB drive.

Nah, you just need to be Diddy.

How many marijuanas?

My goodness, is it 4:30? I’m supposed to be having a back, sack and crack.

Am I the only one who “jumps” the horse over the squares, even if there’s nothing there, and makes horse noises? Or like when I capture, I do the goring noises as the horse tramples the other piece underfoot?

Guy wouldn’t know majesty if it came up and bit him in the face.
