Like that fly that kept trying to get in Pence’s eyes and mouth

“the game no longer reflects an 18th century view of world conquest”. Why should it? Running a war empire is costly, sacrifices production for military over infrastructure, and usually results in unhappiness for the empire. The whole point of the game is that world powers change and adapt to “stand the test of time”. Changing game mechanics beyond “conquer” is exactly the same thing. That’s why there are multiple win conditions. This dullard barely had an argument to begin with, and it’s a bad one.

Damn look at that brickwork

Bleukrainunism

Go away, old

Car prices went dummy thicc right around 2022 and haven’t adjusted back and seems like they won’t. But those 10 year old dodges and Nissans can’t hold their value forever

TIL

Yeah all the fmovies variations are pretty great, most shows (I watch normie shit ig) have multiple servers and subtitles

Thank

About ten years ago, I was gifted a consumer/toy level set of NVGs, and the were quite useful, even at that price point (~$100). Considering that was quite a while ago, they’ve hopefully gotten better

God, ghost mice was one of the worst folk punk bands at the time. And then Chris tried to do the whole Cairo IL revival, and then got outed as a sex pest. I didn’t realize he wrote a song about JHJr, but there it is (“John and Jodie”)

Google is killing it’s podcast app. Black Wolf feed isn’t on Spotify. What do? Halp

Cut down from a daily 2-4 mixed drinks to 2-4 a week. Mostly through substitution (weed in vape, preroll, or liquid edible form). Bought a juicer and make a batch of fresh fruit juice/lemonade most weeks, and mix that with seltzer + liquid weed, and it pretty much makes a perfect substitute for alcohol. Recently took a month off from drinking and it really helped kill the impulse and helped me recognize that I usually don’t actually like how alcohol makes me feel (sleepy, headachey, dehydrated), and I was just stuck in a cycle. Also taking a month off made me realize how unpleasant liquor can taste.

Easy 20 minute yoga videos on YouTube (yoga with Kassandra+++) are also helpful for mindfulness and feeling warm/stretched.

Walking the dog, tending to houseplants.

But mostly weed

“concerned citizens are contacting their representatives to not ban tiktok. This is a clear indicator that they are addicted and being manipulated, so we must ban tiktok”

What prevents the intelligence apparatus from controlling tiktok content the same way they control ig/fb/twitter’s content? It seems to me that they’re very concerned with tiktok’s ability to influence public opinion (ex: Gaza), which is part of why they want it banned.

“nose goes” is another one. Basically, when an unpleasant task comes up, and we need to decide who does it, whoever touches the tip of their nose with their pointer finger LAST has to do the task. It’s a good “catch who’s not paying attention” method

Ooh a placard

Just put it in the replicator

Doesn’t taste very good

Yes we already had 2020, but what about second 2020?
