Cats do enjoy a violent spectacle, but he is most definitely going to try and fight the beyblade himself. Because orange.

It would be peak French if this happened while on the way to a protest.

One of many reasons why I love BSG. As a retro-computing enthusiast, the idea that antique systems are naturally impervious to conventional digital attacks, just felt so validating.

Sure, our navigation system is based on a Commodore-64, but good luck getting it to divulge mission-critical information over bluetooth. Or any information for that matter.

I just see it as everyone tossing around ghost jokes because of Beverly’s… ahem… encounter.

So… we know that dolphins and whales are understood by the universal translator. Has Trek-dom explored the possibility that other animals might also be understood to an extent?

Even worse than that is having parts left over and then figuring out if they’re essential or not.

Not really, at least, not anymore.

There are some people that come to RPGs to escape reality and man, do they need it. D&D holds out a promise of agency, power, and control, in a fantasy setting free from real consequences. Provided a player lacks these things in real life, they can cling to it like a life-preserver. Then, take any of that away - as a DM must do - and things can get ugly.

I really want to say that there’s a known and practiced way to get people like this some real help, like a free hotline or website. After all, if it’s going to come up, this is the place it’s going to happen. Sadly, I know of no such resource.

Warning: this will destroy medication if it’s left out. You may want to move your pills to the refrigerator first (after first checking the temperature - see article).

Actually, if you live in a hot climate and don’t use A/C, you should probably do that anyway.

have you heard the earth is flat?

Hah! What a hilarious take. It’s clearly a four-day timecube.

Wait. Did you post this just to brag how big your D is?

i was gonna say. Properly deep/stacked pizzas, casseroles, and calzones are the way to go here.

Eh, not really. This is not an admission of support. Here’s why.

I’ve seen firsthand what it looks like when these creeps invade tolerant spaces. We’re talking clubs packed full of goths, punks, metal-heads, very gay people, and the occasional furry. First, it’s just one or two. Then their friends show up. You may not even realize it until it’s too late. And there they are, happily mixing it up with everyone else. Their bigotry is usually only evident when put to the test, and there aren’t a lot of situations where that’s called for. But provoke their sense of ‘correct’ social hierarchy and things get bad, fast. Then the bouncers get called in to handle the really stupid/violent ones.

And that’s where the problem lies with this statement. Nazis have zero issues standing side-by-side with the people they hate. Just as long as they know they can seize control or maintain the upper-hand whenever they want, is enough. In this situation, we have someone running for public office, versus someone who’s just a voter. They’d be holding all the power in this situation, and didn’t admit to lending that power to a trans person in any way; something that would divorce him from Nazis support. So, the assertion of “stand by your side” isn’t even worth the electricity it took to get it to our screens.

You’re lucky. They’re well-intended, but really awful. You’re supposed to traverse the intersection in the order you arrive. All it takes is for one jackass to waive* their right of way, or run the intersection, and the other three drivers are thrown into disarray. Add multiple lanes to this and, well… good luck everyone!

* Often literally waving at you to go. Through the intersection. At the wrong time.

Someone needs to slap a com-badge on that guy. It’s just so darn close.

Well, they can take my plugins and Tampermonkey when they pry it from my cold, dead, hands.

Exactly. Without a veto-proof vote on this, they can play both sides on this one. That said, these four repbulicans are also saying that they care a little more about midterms than toeing the line on this issue.

I learned on a 1st gen Saturn. That’s before GM ruined the brand. It had a good deal of pickup to it, and was a lot of fun in the snow.

I don’t miss it though. If I lived somewhere I could joyride with zero hills, traffic or parallel parking, sure. Otherwise? It’s not worth it.

I have no idea. I’m just as mystified by this.

Honestly, this is why I fled suburbia for someplace more integrated and communal.

I looked around and realized that I barely knew who lived there, and nobody had my back. Likewise, if someone was in trouble, I would never hear about it. I’m not unfriendly by any means, it’s just the whole tract-housing setup with no communal space is practically engineered to divide people up. Heap work hours and commute time on top of that, and all you know is someone keeps a car in so many driveways overnight; you never see any people. Everyone there really kept to themselves, as the environment made that easy to do.

I’m happy to say that I’m in a place now that would likely band together if it came down to it.
