That’s a solid point. Most issues just stop being personal issues when they reach a certain magnitude.

The problem, as I see it, is all the damage that wave creates on its way through. Because it’s often a lot, like the tsunami depicted.

Fwiw, I believe in you and your ability to do the 2 hours of work!

I struggle to get shit done too, but it gets done, checkmate naurospicies! :p

Maybe that’s what it was, idk. I’m terrible with parry mechanics but it was also a few years ago.

Did it need to be the right moment, though? I remember going through that canyon temple with the guardians and just standing and waiting for the attack with my shield up, and needing to reposition to get it to hit them back… but that memory might be incorrect…

The self checkout at the grocery here makes you have a worker check and enter your coupons for you. Even though they have barcodes. And cameras galore. And they mail you dozens of coupons every week.

What’s even the point of self checkout at that point? It took longer waiting for them to come check and approve my three coupons to save $1.50 than just going through regular cashier line, and I didn’t even get to avoid talking to someone. Did that twice and won’t do it again.

If they want me to work for them, I’m gunna need an employee discount. I hate everything about self-checkout. I have yet to find an implementation of it that is better than the default cashier experience.

(This is not meant as saying you are wrong for your preference ofc, I just don’t understand how people actually like them)

I have a local burger joint at which I can still get a $2 cheeseburger. It’s plain and everything is an up charge but that’s fine. A whopper or Big Mac clone is some $4.50, so like, it’s still pretty cheap.

However, they have no seating, and it’s an old ice cream shop so just a big kitchen and a tiny indoor order/pickup window and 2 benches. And there’s always a massively long line. Takes easily an hour to get fast food there during peak, cuz nobody goes to the local depressed millennial McDonald’s (one of those sad gray ones)

Inappropriately as always ;)

Indeed, it’s never about you.

I know, I was joking in sort of a not-jokey-very-dry sort of way.

I wish there was a universal (lawl I’m unserious but being very dry about it) tag. Because that stuff doesn’t translate to text well at all.

Such a layer of emotion and presentation behind communication to get around! So difficult! And I have a degree based around doing exactly that…

On a side note, we have dry humor which implies a wet humor and… I’m curious what that is but I sort of don’t want to know…?

Well sure, there used to be a lot more horses that died annually, back when they were a primary means of transport.

They make noise, but it’s a verrry different sort of noise.

I’ve been doing these for years… they don’t work as intended for more than a year or two, and then become pretty unstable. Even the lady who created it went back to low-maintenance (as opposed to zero input) systems after a few years. Still with the dirt and all but not without water movement and stuff.

That’s probably because early Germanic languages formed the base of the early English language, even before we “added” a ton of French and other shit through (actual and) cultural conquest.

If you look through language roots, English splits from Germanic at some point close enough to make the rules logical going from English to German but probably not the other way around, idk.

2 is Jasmin from Aladdin when Jafar is the sultan and she’s a slave but idk the other one.

So you want to make caramelized onions?

🤭

Worst I’ve gotten was grapes in the foil for mini Cadbury eggs. It was quite evil. (Cuz those are my fave)

Supposedly this is actually not bad, but also… just no.

Start at 10:40 or so for the hot pepper……

actually just watch the whole thing… it’s fucking funny.

I went with immortal, shape shift, and teleport.

There’s no range to the teleport listed, and I’m just going to assume that shape shift can alter biological function and not just the meaty outer covering… but ultimately it doesn’t really matter that much because immortal.

This would be a great way to explore the universe and a search for life. Maybe settle down somewhere if you find an advanced society that sucks less than humans.

I just got a notice that a place I worked 12 years ago got breached and my info like full name and social was in it.

Cool. Idk why they even kept info that far back…

The absolute irony being that eating things is a major case -for- species conservation, like turkeys, which had a population rebound thanks largely to hunting license funds.

:)

I stepped on a construction nail when I was like 9, went straight into the arch of my foot. I got a rust colored tattoo from it, that I still have.

Agreed on getting it back out sucking most.

If you set up a pihole, most of those in-game banner and popup ads won’t show up on iOS with the default blocklists. You won’t even be able to play ads for rewards anymore without disabling or swapping to a different network. Anything from the prime mobile store will still have ads unless you block the full Amazon domain, but those are the only ones I’ve encountered that are that persistent, and those are easy enough to avoid. Just don’t download anything from Amazon.

As a bonus, the pihole will also block ads across the rest of your network, and you can choose to be really aggressive with what gets blocked if you want, so you don’t need the piecemeal per-device solutions.

If you do opt to set a pihole up, make sure to port forward 53 to the pihole, so android users get the same Adblock perk (android will default to google dns via 53 to serve up ads without that port forward)

If you then set up a home VPN through your router, you can connect back to it when you are out and about and get the same level of ad protection wherever you go.
