yeah same with my city. there is no way these will not be locations so im guessing they still have org to do at local levels.

Its sorta sad I never see something like this on the 50501 communities. I feel someone made them with the intention that someone else would do it. Anyway https://www.rageagainsttheregime.org/

It does suck. We get nights that would be fine to open up to except for the humidity

You know. I had just answered a guy talking about social media that did not have memes or tons of us politics and I said well I sorta gotta keep abreast because im in the shitshow but also sorta mentioned it would be good for people outside the us to get how bad it is so they can know how bad the us will treat them and if they should give the benefit of the doubt on “accidents”.

just over 6 weeks and I will have a year unemployment. Can’t wait for the articles 10 years from now on how genX did not save enough for retirement.

Most people I know are christian. Religion becomes a bit like politics. I don’t get into it unless the other person does. Usually folks that do tend to be the annoying types but some surprise you (ie can discuss religion and get that people believe other things and thats ok. not just athiests but other religions and such). Many “pray for you”.

I sorta feel I should make a list dead folks I know about that im sad about and one that I am not and hang it on my wall.

It is funny because there are a bunch much more monopolistic companies that could be broken up. I mean don’t get me wrong they hold a power position but its not a situation were there is no real alternative.

That man should not have taken the medication if he did not want an abortion.

better add carter in there just in case.

I totally get your feeling. I stopped playing and sometimes im very tempted to download them again but they do become addicting in the way those stupid phones games get people like from the south park episode. Log in in the morning for quick grinds and then after work for more extensive grinding and over the whole weekend. They are fun but you are more trying to get things than play most of the time.

The cryptic mmos. Champions online, star trek online, and neverwinter are all fairly easy with it sorta getting harder along that list but even neverwinter is not super hard. They are free to play mmos and when I played it was completely possible to be competitive with mild grinding. In particular they have several events per year where mild grinding (10 or 20 minutes a day and maybe more like 2 or 3 if you don’t alt) will get you high end stuff. Champions stuff is more about costuming to begin with and its top gear is easy to grind. You can make a support character where the passive effects are enough to help a team and I have pointed them out as good games for disabled (Can setup to not need fast reflexes or such) folks. The character does need to be well built but its not hard to learn and there are nice guides on steam. Star trek had an activer reddit community and guides strewn around. It gets a bit more complicated as it has space and ground which is sorta like two different games and your roles can change between them (sci is controllers and debuffers in space and ground but also ground healers, eng are space healers and buffers and ground pet masters and debuffers. honestly they all get mixed around. tac are dps ground or space. there are tons of generic modules that can be used across jobs). Your ship has more effect on your role to some degree and how its built. Fast tactical vs carriers vs behometh type and sci ships. I don’t have allot with neverwinter but its made more arcadey. The mmo aspects go down as you go down the list to. champions has day/night cycles in the main area with traffic showing rush hour, ligths coming on as folks get home in their condos, and china town having nightly fireworks. Star trek had day/night on risa but got rid of it and by the time you get to neverwinter its sorta faux open world with most places being a series of trails. All the games allow you to grind for the in game currency but that is not the easy grind of the events and take more time but its a common enough award that if you do not pay attention for a few years you will find you had built up quite a bit from happenstance. Won’t allow you to buy everything but eventually you can pick up some particular thing you may have wanted. Star trek also had events that gave away coupons to the store that pretty much would let you get almost anything without to much grind as long as you did not have to have the latest offerings. Now my experience with these where awhile ago. Not with champions you can choose a more comic book rendering or a more standard rending for game play. All are so old it should be practically impossible to have a machine that can’t handle the requirements. I know folks complained it did not take enough advantage of gpu and did not require much of one but could hog cpu decently.

Has it been months in an aweful prison like the irish guy in the us?

I realize this is inapropriate given the context but when I heard the group mentioned on npr today I could not help but think of the druish princess from spaceballs. Like did brooks hear about this group and thought it sounded a bit like jewz and decided to modify it a bit.

What gets me is the guy. I grew up where you only saw this stupid crap coming out of the mouths of a guy like this walking around the seven eleven or the weekly world news and no ordinary person paid them no mind.

Took me awhile to get a good idea on what it does as these articles have been a bit pants but I found these two youtube vidoes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzkKVchaNF0&pp=ygUTcGJzIG5ld3Nob3VyIGNyeXB0bw%3D%3D and https://youtu.be/4au8FGg3Qvg which are giving me mr. robot vibes. What they should have done was pass a bill saying the government does not recognize digital assets as having any value or legitamacy and any court action around them will treat them so. Zero value. So someone stole your ten dollars in bitcoin or 100 or 1 billions and it would all be treated as a theft of zero dollars.

Any relation to robin on wgn because that station already suffered enough with the skilling name?

My wife has weight issues that effect her health. Here is the thing. She has low thyroid and her tests come out as just within normal on the low side. She has other symptoms of low thyroid with hair and such and her doctor refuses to up her relatively cheap thyroid medication dosage (which we have to pay for anyway) and instead has her on ozempic. I firmly suspect shannigans like what caused the opiod epidemic. I see no reason this doctor is so adamant about using ozempic without some sort of quid pro quo. Pisses me off.

Yeah I will totally watch a playthrough over playing sometimes. There are many games and I only have so much time. Many playthroughs the person already had completed the game and then to boot they will edit out going back to save games. Heck back in the day we would hang at arcades and we did not have enough money to constantly play so we would watch each other or strangers play neat games. Someone who is good might regularly get a little crowd around them. And money is another thing along with time. Games cost money. I have not played deaths stranding or the last of us but I know the game.

EDITED - so I did not really answer the question. no its not the same but yes its an acceptable way to enjoy a game.

This sounds a lot like this board game where you win by being the last one to die.
