I wish I had received a realistic expectation when I went. Aside from vomiting in the parking lot after, I should have found someone to drive me. I had a very very hard time getting home and I shouldn’t have driven at all. I’m lucky I didn’t cause an accident.

In MO. Voted on it last year. The ballot was intentionally worded to be misleading.
It said each person can only cast one vote. Making it sound like it was to prevent people from voting twice even though that person as already not allowed.
So dumb.
- Comment on Square Enix considered ending Final Fantasy 11 in 2024, but player interest was high enough to keep it alive even after 20+ years 5 weeks ago:
No, I actually liked FFXI better than FFXIV. I played XI for a couple years but I couldn’t get into XIV.

I like turn based because I like not having to panic decide and button mash.
Some of the FF stories are so good. Some of them get convoluted and weird but the early games, 6-10, have some of the best stories in gaming. Stuff that will make you cry.
I think some of the games have options to switch between realtime and turn based. Especially newer games like the FF remake, but I’m not 100% certain. Haven’t played them.

I loved this game.
I would love to start playing it again. This is the kind of thing I want a remaster of. Give me more FFXI.

How many people start companies, rack up a bunch of debt, then create another company that buys everything except the debt?
- Comment on A VPN Company Canceled All Lifetime Subscriptions, Claiming It Didn’t Know About Them 1 month ago:
It’s BS they didn’t know about it. They got the financials before the deal. Even if it wasn’t directly listed as a line item it would have been a part of the expenses.
They still thought the deal was worth doing as it was based on incoming revenue and outgoing expenses.
- Comment on Trakt Upcoming VIP Renewal Pricing Changes – Effective May 20, 2025 1 month ago:
I didn’t even get an email about this. I would have been angry when my subscription auto renewed. I love Trakt but this is too much. I’ll be cancelling too

It’s funny. They target people who burned the trucks, but insurance claims are probably their best chance to get paid for the trucks.
- Comment on How do children address a non-binary parent? 1 month ago:
My niece is non-binary and we run into this issue. Now, I just ask people who identify as non-binary. “When there isn’t a good non-binary term to use, do you prefer me to use male or female words?”
So far, the non-binary people I’ve asked seem to appreciate the question.

Yeah, could have been called “kids are learning how circuits work thanks to TikTok trend” and suddenly the story has a whole other meaning

- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 2 months ago:
I just check email all day. Like that’s 80% of my job. My entire job could be done from anywhere. I don’t do as single thing that isn’t in my laptop. But I still sit at a stupid cubicle.
- Comment on CVE fallout: The splintering of the standard vulnerability tracking system has begun 2 months ago:
I’m don’t trust any .gov sites anymore. If I’m researching and I see that it’s a government site, I move on. I can’t trust that info.
The whole thing is scary

Fez! I love the low stress puzzle game. I think it’s beautiful and smart. I love that it was made by one guy. It’s too bad he got burnt out and quit. He is very talented.

You too!
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 months ago:
I would disagree with your premise but it’s not your fault. It’s my fault for not explaining it clearly
I don’t think not knowing something makes you stupid. Humans can’t know everything. We all have strengths and weaknesses. I know about taxes, but I don’t know shit about cooking. He cooks dinner, I deal with the bureaucracy situations.
Also, I’m don’t know if you’ve ever spent time with someone who struggles with ADHD and Neurodivergence but their brains don’t work like others. They can’t force themselves to do things that other people can tough out. They can study all night but if their brain can’t stay on track, they won’t be able to retain it.
When I come along and start telling him how tax brackets work, especially if he didn’t ask me, hes going to be frustrated and he’s not going to get through it easily.
I don’t know if he just doesn’t want to work OT and has settled on this excuse or if there is some other issue but it doesn’t matter. If he doesn’t want to work OT, that’s okay!
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 months ago:
That’s fair. I appreciate your concern for me!
He’s not always like that. I didn’t mean to make him sound like a jerk. I just meant to relate to the topic of tax confusion with personal experience.
He had pretty severe ADHD and struggles with some topics. It’s okay! I deal with the money stuff and he cooks dinner. :)
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 months ago:
You’re absolutely right. I cant speak for anyone else, as I don’t live there but I highly doubt the US is an exception.
Rather than being mad at each other, I want to make sure we hold the right people accountable! Governments, corporations, billionaires etc.
It’s a form of oppression.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 months ago:
This is true for many people I’ve talked to, but he does understand, on a basic level, how the brackets work. When it comes to the calculation parts, I think he gets frustrated with all the rules.
But it’s okay! I’m good at stuff like that and he can build pretty much anything. We all have our strengths. :)
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 months ago:
Nah. He’s not an idiot. But he is impatient. He doesn’t handle paperwork or anything involving patience well. (ADHD)
I also think taxes in the US are intentionally over complicated and confusing. I don’t struggle with things like that but I can empathize with people who do.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 months ago:
Exactly, and it also depends on what withholding you have requested.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 months ago:
Nah. He’s not a bad person or a dummy. He just gets frustrated by bureaucracy and doesn’t have the patience I have.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 months ago:
Yeah, I definitely didn’t leave this in school. I know about it from reading articles on tax brackets. _(‘’)/
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 months ago:
This is the problem. My partner doesn’t want to work OT because he thinks it will cost him more in taxes. I explain why that’s not exactly true, but I can tell he’s not interested. Financial Literacy in the US is abysmal.

Once I order tampons on Amazon. They just put a shipping label directly on a single box.
I’m not embarrassed by stuff like that, but how weird.
- Comment on New Junior Developers Can’t Actually Code 4 months ago:
I suspect there are a lot of people who chased dollars with boot camps. They lack critical thinking skills, and don’t value curiosity and learning, which are pretty important to this field.
If they don’t know where to start and aren’t excited by figuring it out, they aren’t going to have a great time.
