We also use “I’m trying for a baby” as a euphemism for sex. In fact, my favorite euphemism is “just dropping the kids off at the pool”

I’ve been using Manjaro with Cinnamon for about a month now. It works great on an old Lenovo with 12gb ram. Probably going to stick with it when I build my desktop.

Why

WHY NOT? Why not just waste a week of your life creating a react project just to coverup your insecurities of how incompetent you are. Just Why not!

At least they’re self aware.

Do you hear a sea shanty?

Yeah, it should be “fig 1”, “also fig 1, but the other half”.

When most western governments are still highly influenced by the Catholic church, even atheists need to pay attention to who the pope is.

All of the Ubi-art games were great, Rayman Legends, Valiant Hearts and Child of Light, all fantastic games. And then Ubisoft said they would only make open world games. Idiots.

She’s a perfect Rio Morales, just saying.

Thanks very much for your advice. I’ve reworked my CV using Open Resume and updated it on all the job boards I’ve been using, hopefully that gets me further.

I’m also continuing to update my portfolio website and building out apps in different languages and frameworks to demonstrate my skills.

It just looks like the job market sucks at the mo and I just need to keep trudging through.

Thanks again.

Deleted my Plex account as soon as I got this email, using the account link in said email, so hopefully they see the connection.

The Evil Dead trilogy.

A younger friend of mine had started playing the Evil Dead game with some of his friends but had never seen the movies. I’d not watched them in years, so I invited him over to marathon them one weekend. We drank, ate pizza and did the whole trilogy, and we had an absolute blast. He loved how different each movie was, especially Heart of Darkness. How each one gets sillier than the last.

A few months later, Evil Dead Rise came out in the cinema, so we had to go see it. While this was much more a straight up horror movie (with a small amount of the Evil Dead silliness), I still enjoyed it (I find horror movies quite funny, like an emotional rollercoaster), but he was hiding behind his coat the whole time, terrified of what was happening on screen. That made it even funnier for me.

Nah, he’ll be put in charge of women’s health and reproductive rights.

The tax isn’t the point. The point is to crash the economy so that the rich can buy up as much as possible as cheaply as possible, once more consolidating more wealth into their hands and robbing it from the rest of us. They don’t care if the price of eggs, or iPhones, or any other goods are going to increase, they have the funds to wait that out, but when the cost of ownership of land, property or corporations goes down, they can buy them up and control that wealth once it recovers.

They don’t care that you suffer. They just want to own all the stuff.

“And with God as my witness, I am that fool!”

I used to work in a shop that could easily be described as “New Age” and it has a tarot reader there. Having looked at the history of tarot but being a complete sceptic, I asked for a reading one time to see for myself how they go.

Afterwards I asked her “it’s a light therapy session, isn’t it?” She responded “mostly.”

That’s pretty much what it is, cheap, basic therapy to help you sort through your thoughts, and shares some similarities with CBT. I’d still recommend therapy if you need it, but I don’t mind people going to a tarot reader if that’s what helps them. But I still think the mysticism side of it can be a problem for a variety of reasons.

It’s not. Plant estrogens have a similar structure to human estrogen, but do not work the same in the human body. You can tell this is true because otherwise trans women would be downing soy milk like there was no tomorrow.

While yes, they should do that, I want X-Wing/Tie-Fighter more.

At its core, the service charge is about driving change in our industry – helping ensure our business can thrive in challenging economic environments and compensating each member of our team in a more equitable way – in a way that uniformly increasing our food prices doesn’t allow for. 

I don’t understand what the difference is between adding the service charge and increasing prices. Literally no justification for this, just a “trust us, bro”.

What’s upsetting about the litter boxes thing, is that schools were buying them so that when a psycho comes and shoots up a school, little kids can shit themselves in front of their classmates and it’s easier to clean up. Nothing to do with furries, it’s just a problem American lawmakers don’t want to fix so people are finding creative solutions to ancillary problems.
