Thing is, Oreos were the better copy of the cookies that preceded them, Hydrox. And I love Oreos.

So now I just have to try some bourbons. What brands would you recommend?

I've been watching a lot of British comedy shows lately. I want to try a sausage roll too.

But not 'absolute casserole'. That sounds a bit disgusting and messy.

I totally get where you're coming from but wanted to put the counterpoint, as obvious as it was.

She was caring for those who nobody else could for at that time, and to generally good effect day to day.

I've worked in group homes and know of the challenges you face in serving those who aren't all that stable.

Just would never have advocated for that solution for anyone really. All that is said with historical knowledge and such.

Yours was a good post.

She was trying her best with that she had and knew at the time, even if she overreacted in the end, to terrible effect.

And forced a sane but disruptive man through a disabling procedure?

No. She went way the hell too far so she could protect her little kingdom and stay in power. She was not concerned with helping her charges improve their lot in life.

Have they lost their mind?

Inspired by Michelle Bachmann.

I do block them, but I will still call it out when I see it.

Go the fuck away, fascist.

Yes, but the warning was included in the subject. Also there's no more obvious twist than that.

Knights of the Old Republic.

I'd heard for many years how amazing they were, so I finally tried them.

Each game has a major plot twist. Both are obvious enough but if you google anything the spoiler in the first game is ruined.

The one in the second I was assured was a better game but apparently only if you download the unofficial patch that finishes the game, and it still can't save the game from the obvious fucking fact you've been carrying around the BBEG since the goddamned beginning while everyone tried to pretend otherwise.

People want remakes of these games primarily for nostalgia, and they do not hold up.

"Johnny Dangerously" came to mind once.

Once.

Hey all, I'm a cis ally in the upper Midwest of the USA. I offered a room to Keris a while back and she accepted.

She got here Wednesday night and things are going very well. She likes me, my wife, and our cats and one dog, and is learning to tolerate the other.

She has an attic bedroom that is her space alone.

She has time to unwind and figure out what she wants to do without fear of being dumped on the streets.

I just wanted to let you all know that we have taken her in and that she is safe and loved.

I've been a fan of They Might Be Giants for most of my life and have always been surprised that people universally disagree with me on this.

Linnell's songs tend to be quirkier but also shallower. (State Songs is a good example here - there isnt a song for every state and theyre often abstract to the point of meaninglessness. I expected such a project to have more inspiration behind it.

I've always found Flansburgh's more melodic and thoughtful, slightly better composed, and with a superior singing voice.

Of course they're a great duo and they play off each other's strengths. I don't dislike Linnell at all, just the songs that he sings tend to not be my favorites.

Said by one of my two DM friends to me while we were in a pizza joint together.

"Dude! Context! We are in public."

I have a bountiful life of riches. I run two games and play in three. Just a problem finding time for them all.
