- Comment on This achievement in earthbound had me doing something I never knew about in 30 years of playing my favorite game. 4 days ago:
God I loved Earthbound. Probably in my top ten to this day.

Any tips for quickly breaking or ruining these?
I have a 5W laser I was going to try, but someone made a good point that random reflections / refractions could harm a nearby innocent person.
I debated a paintball gun, but that damage isn’t really permanent enough.

Are they starting a multi-step strategy to distance themselves ahead of midterms?

- Comment on Looking for a cool person to join a 5e homebrew campaign from 8GMT to 13GMT on Sundays. 4 weeks ago:
This sounds amazing and I’m bummed the time doesn’t work for me. Wish you the best in your search!
- Comment on The age verification effect: adult site traffic plummets, VPN use soars 4 weeks ago:
I’m confused, if VPN use soured for that very reason, wouldn’t traffic remain roughly the same?
- Comment on Betrayal 4 weeks ago:
Until I read the comments I thought this was like, “move in to my apartment” and I was so fucking confused
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 4 weeks ago:
Gotcha. Well, in that case, I think everyone should be cutting off more. I want to see the US economy get decimated.
(I realize I’m coming off super aggro, but I just don’t see how else everyone here is going to wake up)
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 4 weeks ago:
As a US citizen, I would expect the rest of the world not do anything - the fuck have we done for them? And even if things had been done at some point, why rock the boat now?
Let the US collapse, boycott our exports, ridicule Trump when he travels. Fuck this country, let it burn.
- Comment on How racing makes its deadliest moments disappear 4 weeks ago:
My wife is very into horses, we have horses, she shows horses, she trains horses.
She hates anything and everything around horse racing (and other parts of horse sport like that burning feet one).
It. Is. Brutal. And disgusting. It is millionaires and billionaires jerking each other off while the horses and those beneath them suffer and die.

I’ve followed her on YouTube (sorry), if I lived there, she’d have my vote.
The entire dem party needs more of people like her.

- Comment on Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales isn’t worried about Elon Musk’s Grokipedia: ‘Not optimistic he will create anything very useful right now’ 5 weeks ago:
Literally. With everything. In every business he touches. Yet the stock goes up. It’s stupid.
- Comment on Top economist on the economy’s dirty truth: The only people who feel good are ‘making over $200,000’ and ‘have large stock portfolios’ 5 weeks ago:
Long story short I had to liquidate my retirement and go another half a mil into debt. Is what it is. Life happens.
- Comment on Top economist on the economy’s dirty truth: The only people who feel good are ‘making over $200,000’ and ‘have large stock portfolios’ 5 weeks ago:
That’s the goal! Unfortunately it’s quite a few years off even if I can keep it up. I’d argue maybe by the time I’m 45-50 and I still have retirement to rebuild.
- Comment on Top economist on the economy’s dirty truth: The only people who feel good are ‘making over $200,000’ and ‘have large stock portfolios’ 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I make well over $200k but between general COL, family medical things, a lot of past debts, and zero investments - I’m basically check to check right now.

Red Alert was such great times.

Fuck this administration and everyone who supports it.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 5 weeks ago:
Umm, I’m in my 40s and I do… 😬
Granted it isn’t like Cheers, I just need the change of scenery since I work from home 10-20 hours a day.
- Comment on Arby's steak bites 1 month ago:
I tried them the other day. They were fine, but I wouldn’t order them again. They were seasoned well, but the flavor profile is not my style. Almost too smokey and woody.
- Comment on Hackers Dox Hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ Officials 1 month ago:
I’m just surprised it hasn’t popped up in torrent or usenet form as far as I can tell.
- Comment on Hackers Dox Hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ Officials 1 month ago:
I’ve searched far and wide and cannot find a place to actually acquire this data.
I’m beginning to think it doesn’t actually exist. Prove me wrong, for a friend.

I think they meant once a quarter
- Comment on See ya. 1 month ago:
Hmm, interesting. To be fair, I haven’t read it since HS and that was…decades ago. Based on what you said I might reread and reassess.
- Comment on See ya. 1 month ago:
Can I ask why? It was actually one of my favorites in school, so just curious for a differing opinion.
- Comment on 'No one can find him': Trump drops from public view again after 'slurring' military speech 1 month ago:
Yeah I hesitated to use that word, lol. But if it were JDV to take up the scepter, I think at least some significant chunk of people would falter and lose step.
