He's right

Nobody should be allowed to vote. It isn't a right that needs gatekeeping

But you fuck one goat...

We thought, briefly, that our rooster had undergone that since the person we got it from swore up and down it was a hen.

But, nah, it was just a rooster and it was obviously so well before he started crowing.

Shit, I'm hostile now.

Legit, I'm usually nice to people, even though I hate people at large. But I don't trust any motherfucker at my back until they've proven they can be trusted.

That's how I would handle things in a crisis like that. Short term, low trust, mutually understood cooperation, but with safety valves.

No more or less flawless than windows, Android, or the iOS stuff.

It's different flaws.

Yeah, he's still an asshole, but at least he paid respect in a humble way

I mean, I referenced the tacticool thing already, but you do you

You aren't kidding lol. Projectile diarrhea is even worse imo. And I've had both get past ppe before. Not good times

Heck yeah!

A very good friend gifted me one when he upgraded to the oled model, and it totally brought back my love of gaming. I hadn't really been able to because of health issues, what with not being able to stay at my desk very long.

But this sucker? It's running everything I've thrown at it so far. Baldur's gate 3, and 2. Genshin. Stuff like stardew valley.

The worst one to get set up was genshin because they insist on having their own launcher. Makes updates a pain in the ass. Luckily, I don't play it often, so I don't care much lol.

I can be in bed, on the couch, even in the john if I want to, and enjoy the hell out of the experience. Worst case, I might have to fiddle with settings if the game doesn't have native controller support, or piddle with stuff like heroic or lutris if a game is pissy installing.

Yeah, molle rocks. The bag I had when I was working, I kept gloves and wipes in two front pouches I could swap out fast. I'd have multiples prepped so I could grab and go, stick them on and be out the door faster. Super nice when I would have multiple patients and something messy happened, or I'd need to resupply at home. Take care of the prep once a week or so assembly line style and spend less time not getting paid to do work stuff.

Baby supplies are really similar, and a parent of an infant is going to have similar time issues (for different reasons).

Modularity is awesome.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Heh, good one.

Legit though, I used to have to carry similar supplies (minus the actual diapers and infant) for my job, and it was really hard to find things that were durable, well compartmentalized, had good capacity and could be cleaned relatively easy.

Towards the end of my working years, that kind of "military inspired" stuff started showing up, and it really did beat the pants off of other options I had been using.

It was super nice to be able to really organize all the ppe, wipes, gloves, spare pads, etc I had to tote around to patients. Not that nothing else worked, it just didn't work as well.

I felt like a moron with the whole tacticool vibe, but not enough to switch back lol

Ikr?

Though you gotta be careful. Anything that hard can damage the colon.

 

So, I only recently started my first run through. Didn't give a flying fig about the romance stuff, it was just something to click through to get back to story and combat.

Annnnd then act 3 hits, and Lae'zel wants to talk one morning and gives a dialogue that actually brought a tear to my eye. Ffs, she's one of the least likable characters at the beginning of the game. More an annoyance than anything else, story wise.

And then she rejects her queen, finds love and there's this beautiful moment. Definitely not the writing I expected for her, but damned if it didn't work.

Makes me want to actually pay attention to the romance arcs now, see what the rest are like.

 

Ahhh, that sweet, sweet Viking brutality.

 

Not that anyone but other comic geeks are likely to care, but I knew from one thing that the show would flop.

This one thing showed very clearly that it was a show being pushed by executives that didn't understand the source material in the hopes of wringing an little cash out of the Inhumans since the X-Men were out of the running. At the time, that was Marvel's big push, to make the Inhumans popular so that they could take the place of the X-Men in fandom. Which was doomed to fail to begin with just like the show.

But, that one thing. Medusa. The second she was bald, it was obvious that the entire show was half-assed. Making her hair, the super power she has, disappear could be a decision made only by someone that didn't want to spend money on the character.

Which showed blatantly that the show would be low quality in every other way too. If you aren't willing to invest in your main characters, any show is fucked from day one. Anyone trying to make an Inhumans show, seeing Medusa and thinking "Damn, that hair is going to be a major CGI expense. I know! Lets shave the hair off! That'll fix it!" Is about as uncreative and stupid as it gets, and needed to find a job outside of tv and movies.

It's a freaking super-being show. And they went out of their way to make said beings as un-super as possible.

At some point in that process, someone with some authority didn't just scrap out as a bad idea and wasted a shit ton of money and time. It was doomed before it ever got the first scene filmed because the people running it were idiots

 

Yet again they manage to surprise the hell out of me

 

Not a typo, not a mistake, just a perfect cover

 

Do they ever release anything that isn't balls out excellent?

 

So, there's this video all about evolution and our growing understanding of flight and feathers.

Me? I'm watching it going "oh, who's a cute little chicken?" And "awwww, baby birdy!"

I'm a fucking chicken simp now.

 

I freaking love that they do videos like this on top of very enjoyable music

 

I can't get even really small ones to work today.
