This is what gets me about discussion as to whether 47 is a russian asset. Or what, that maybe he's destroying the US economy for other, innocent reasons relating to personal enrichment or incompetence, in which case it's fair game and should be allowed? At this stage, it's not important.

Facing worlds was the purest, long-term experience. But we all know it was the demo's Instakill Morpheus that landed the hook.
BRB, reinstalling some stuff.

...phase where you have to dress up as a girl to get into a town because it's the game and you have to do it but also you blush a lil bit?

In fairness, it's not just capitalism. It's a "shit floats" issue. If you play a game with published and documented rules then cunning arseholes will find ways to manipulate flaws in those rules to maximise return on minimum skill or effort. You have to change the rules every so often to fox 'em.

I don't think there's been any issue Bill Maher has made a point of that I remember agreeing with him about. I haven't consciously realized this until now, but to me he is part of a subconscious grouping I will call "enjoys too much the smell of their own farts".

You're right! Once you remove disposability from the mix, it opens up the design to all the customization of the water bottles you find at the store. The only limitations need be that it holds two litres of liquid and has a moderately standard opening.

I'd love to see soda fountains appear in supermarkets; instead of buying your carbonated pop in a bottle, you screw in a two-litre that you brought and it dispenses two litres of what you request. Sanitation is tricky but not insurmountable. You could sell sturdier bottles, even.

Like they were holding off on the pardons anyway. They don't give a crap about the moral high ground.

I hate to say it, but it seems to me that the politics of the past fifteen years HAVE been high school rivalries. Minus the teachers imposing a baseline of decorum.

My guess is that she intended to give her son a bollocking but not actually cost him a high level job, so she's going round reassuring people. Doesn't mean she was wrong in the letter.

Did you consider showing them your bottom whilst pointing out that if you didn't care about how much money the charity got, you would not be giving them money?
In retrospect the bottom showing might be counterproductive. I'd be interested to know if it works though.

Given the current state of politics my legal counsel is that Biden protect the declaration with "Nil Siestakae Siesbackae", or in the common parlance, no takesies backsies.

"This guy, among many other crimes, has been convicted of sexually assaulting women, promises to become a dictator, and has made very credible threats to most minorities. This other guy pardoned his only surviving son of a non-violent crime."
"Oh, so they're both bad guys then."

I appreciate that they went full Dwight Schrute on the answer, too.
>False – The primary claim of the content is factually inaccurate.
"INCORRECT. There is no language that the blind can see and the deaf can hear."
Hilariously unnecessary. 😆

Which is weird, because in my experience with Golden Retrievers they should have been plastered with drool before the dog even touched them.

I don't get it.
I agree with what I presume is the sentiment, that kindness is generally a good thing and there should be more of it, but... sorry Mr. Twain, as much as your wit and prose delight me, you lost me on the fine detail.

Oh, snap, as an addendum: Lovely, I would be very happy to have an email containing your spin of positivity and realism in my inbox. Thank you very much. I was so busy being snarky that I forgot to be grateful, and I apologise.

That puts an entirely more sinister spin on the question as to whether "you think the universe is better with people in it".

If you were planning to give away like $8,000 of "free money" and were surprised that it cost you like $8,000 then my estimation of you as a science educator is going to be reassessed.

I like to see some use on books. I've come to realize - through the embarrassingly pristine state of a lot of my OWN book piles - that owning books doesn't make you a book lover, reading them does.
Mind you, I think I might have lost the bookmark crowd at "book piles".

So, are all of those about one person, or is it many people taking one each? Because I think either would work.

Oh, Higher State of Consciousness though, NICE. Since it would clearly be gauche to post one's own album's tracklist: www.discogs.com/release/1457...

It's excellent, but it was Version 2.0 that I physically wore out a cassette copy of in my walkman.

I remember Wario Land on the Gameboy had a bit at the end where you got a castle based on how many coins you'd collected on your save file.
I spent way too long trying to see the best castle. That, but with "speed up" potions and scrolls of curse removal.

You have tricked alllll of these people into interacting with you by flaunting an easily counterable suggestion, haven't you? And now me too. You saucy devil, I like you.

What on earth do you mean? IYKYK stands for "If you'd kindly yarf Kitkats". It was for you, Log. It was always for you.

And you're going to hear a lot of BS from your media. Zelensky's probably going to say nice things about Trump. So are many world leaders.
Bear in mind: when they didn't have to get along with him to hold off nuclear war, they were very rude indeed. And sometimes quite funny. Stay strong.

There's something appropriate about the fact that people repeat that historical quote every time we fail to learn a lesson.

You can't see for the resolution but they've actually stencilled "Live, Laugh, Love" across the Rose Windows.
