t’s become a wealth/status symbol for people who don’t like the more traditional bougie shit
It’s because they are actual luxury vehicles. Get inside one of the new ones, and it’s basically what you would imagine a lexus or lincoln would be like. All the fanciness, all the nifty little features… Finding one that is actually made to ‘work’ is hard.

I’m reasonably certain that my best fitting spoons are the tablespoon, half tablespoon, third tablespoon, teaspoon, half teaspoon.

- Comment on What's a recent game you've tried playing that isn't worth the hype? 3 days ago:
I really struggled when I tried magic, and then in DS2 I picked up an ultragreatsword and great shield and the game just felt right to play. Like, every boss timing seemed to be perfectly in line with my speed, where before it was always a struggle to refrain from trying to get one last button mash in with the faster weapons.

Oh, damn. I’m like a few dozen hours in and still no hydro power. I must be a slow player. :(
I do, however, have a fifteen gajillion story high factory that I’m building, so there’s that!

The worst part of it, to me, is that the smiling isn’t even a cover, or faked because she’s still remembering what just happened. The child is dismissed from the mind as soon as it complies, and she’s just so happy to see all the friends at church.

Oh, man, that reminds me of one time when I cracked a tooth and couldn’t get in to see the dentist for a while. Cleaning the whatever out of the inside was so gross in smell, taste, and feeeeel, and so incredibly painful.

I had to go check just to be sure, but you’re confusing peter thiel, the boogeyman behind such lovely individuals as vance, with stephen miller, the boogeyman behind some of the worst of this administration’s vile acts against anyone less white than banana pudding.

Oh god, I just saw another storefront in my local area that popped up. My coworker dragged me in there, and aside from the incredibly overpriced products, the countertops were loaded with pamphlets on doing the herbal life thing.

Just like they intended.
- Comment on They even do Price Discrimination on video games now 1 week ago:
Newell has supposedly said that if ever there were to be a sea change where steam would have to shut down people’s access to games they’ve purchased, he would release code to turn off the ‘check’ for whether you’ve bought the game on steam, thus allowing you to play games without the ‘DRM’ of being online with steam. I wonder if he would do the same if he thought that would be the direction things were going in the event of his death.

It’s not really all that newfangled. It was part of the eurozone’s requirements for cars and was put in other places as well. I think that it’s approaching a decade now. My neighbor’s 2017 has it.
- Comment on For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big? 1 week ago:
traveling to another city is actually so inconvenient that you only do it if you have to
They don’t work. Vanguard did it way back when, with their three continent world. Each one had enough content to get from lvl 1 to lvl 50, the max, and your starting race determined your starting location. It could take up to an hour to get to friends. Even on the same continent, with a mount (before they added flying mounts), it could take a half hour of running to cross the map… and players complained so vociferously that they were forced to add fast travel options.
- Comment on If video games actually determined our real world behavior, we wouldn't be violent we would be obsessed with powerwashing and all have CDLs. 1 week ago:
The play is fun, but you can get the highlights from watching the hilarious videos people have made on them. Just in case anyone wants to save the megabytes on the hard disk ;)

That’s my joke with people all the time: ‘Microplastics are better than plastic surgery!’
… which then cues the question of wtf microplastics are and I look at them like they’ve been living under a rock.

I think there are often fried sushi rolls on the menu of most places. It’s the only way I can convince certain family members to go.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 1 week ago:
Go look at the OP’s posting history. The posts on asklemmynsfw are particularly enlightening. Really shitty questions that the OP often replies to with ‘stories.’ My personal money is that it’s a bot account meant to get people talking about stuff, offering clues to who they are and linking accounts that people leave behind with new ones or on other instances.

I would say that’s a good idea, but I’ve seen too many horrible situations with dogs to believe that adopting a dog means those things will happen.

I think, with the breadth of human experience and emotion, that almost every emoji could be a horny emoji. There are a lot of ways to think about coitus and pleasure.
- Comment on Easter can't come soon enough. 2 weeks ago:
Which is why you shouldn’t buy seasonal candy.
Okay, fair, but reese’s holiday versions are straight up better. Not in price per unit, those fucking suck, but the easter and christmas versions are way better than their normal ones. Maybe it’s just the ratio, or they put more sugar in or something, but I swear the trees/pumpkins/eggs are noticeably tastier.
- Comment on it 🆗 2 weeks ago:
One of my favorite memories was kissing my partner, hard, because, well, we were really turned on, and there was a fart. We paused, I arched my eyebrow and a smile, back to the mad makeout session, and then I farted. It then became a game for the next ten minutes of who could fart while not stopping the liplocks.

I don’t know if terrorism or drugs have “won.” The government is able to use them to fuck up the lives of people who they don’t like… see venezuela and what they’re trying to do with antifa.
