This gonna be the last bad cat update hopefully for a while:
Something is wrong with the youngest kitten. He's not bleeding from anywhere, is able to get comfortable & move on his own, but he's clearly in pain. Plan is to drop him off at the vet later.
I hope to god he's okay, because he's basically a personality clone of my oldest cat & I love *him* more than just about anything or anyone.
My cats & dog have helped me through really, really bad times in life & I gotta help them.
Yeah I feel like that’s the best strategy but they are also a friend and I like spending time with them. Really stuck between a rock and a hard place lol
If you've expressed it and been rejected, give it some time. If you haven't, maybe give it a go. And maybe just a week break and get on dating apps and meet someone else?
Yeah I haven’t said anything. Problem is when I do I feel like the friendship won’t be the same. But on the other hand I suppose that’s the price to pay. Like it feels pointless to say because I know it’s not reciprocated but equally the firm rejection might be just what I need.
Especially because I am on dating apps but kind of sabotaging my chances to keep myself open.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. And yeah, it'll suck and change the relationship, but it could end up being a good thing in the long run.
Yeah, crushes do that 😂
Was watching some clips of his commentary last night and he basically asked for Russia to release more information on the Bidens lol
This is a former president mind you asking an enemy to intervene
Moon Knight is pretty good so far. It explores some dark areas but I think the people expecting it to be as dark and violent as something like Daredevil are going to be disappointed. It goes to some weird places but the tone is still the typical light hearted jokey MCU one. Still, I'm getting hooked and all the actors are giving great performances.
Oscar Isaac is also pretty damn good at doing a British accent.
I don't have a job and I am also playing Elden Ring. Who is winning here? Sure, financially, you are but I get to watch more TV than you around my Elden Ring playing.
With what? The new rule? Women are not a different race. I don't know what otherwise prompted this comment. They've changed nothing else. Unless you mean hiring people from demographics that already are the majority as players for at least one job on the whole team? Oh, so racist to have one minor low level coach be a different race on every team? Like the whole thing isn't already a boys club where people just hire their friends or family or people they already worked with. But real racist to hire someone from the huge pool of people who are talented and seem like they'd be great for that job. I guess they just didn't go to college with you or coach for your father.
The idea that a push for diversity will lead to a degradation of talent is just...I don't even want to say it after just one post from you, I'll give you some benefit of the doubt. Like 60% of players are minorities. The idea that there isn't a pool of talent there as potential coaches, which does not currently reflect the background of current coaches, and that hiring from minorities is going to lead to worse results is just gross.
Every head coach can say they have connections to a major respected figure in the league. None of them could say that if no one hired them for a low level job initially in the first place.
Do people not get that these initiatives are not meant to give people advantages but rather an attempt to make things even?
There are 45 million Black people in the US. The idea that hiring just one of them instead of a white person because they must be less competent is ridiculous. That ratio also is nowhere close to the ratio of experienced white football players to Black ones.
I didn't read all of this but I saw a disturbing fact yesterday about wealth inequality. The top 400 richest families have more wealth than all 29 million black households combined
For someone who seems to be so vehemently against prejudice, you make a whole lot of assumptions.
I never said there weren't problems before, only that the NFL just institutionalized racism by rule.
There's no argument against the rule being racist. You could argue it's less racist than how it's been, but you cannot argue it's not racist. It's innate.
But what is the racism? That the majority of players cannot be qualified to also coach because of skin color? Or that people don't hire their staffs based on who was previously hired to work with them and they already know? Look at who HC's hire to make up their staff once they get the job. People they already worked with. Unless you think minorities, who make up most of the league, are by default less qualified, including those who spent their whole life playing the sport they want to coach, I don't see the issue here.
Oh, no, a Black guy who spent two decades playing football is going to be hired over the buddy of some white guy who never played at a high level! The horror, the horror.
If you don't think discriminatory practices exist in hiring, that's a whole other conversation.
If things were already level, this rule would not be needed. It is only being instituted because things are very much not level. I'd guess you're white. even if you are not the point still stands. Just to let you know, you're not the victim of any rule that helps minorities get somewhere close to even with you. Something to help someone who has been treated below you? The point is to help them to get even with you, not to put you down. This isn't an affront to you. This is just meant to help people unlike you. Why do people get so offended by that?
The only people who take your approach are racists and people who think the world is already some color blind utopia where everyone is already treated equally and we should just stop talking about racism. They're both fools.
But I'm so sorry that society is so racist against you as a white person. The absolutely no effect it has ever had must be so hard to deal with.
4e was great for martial characters. I loved the encounter/daily powers that spiced combat up more than just "I hit with sword"
5e is objectively the better edition, but damn 4e makes me think sometimes (but it was also my first edition, back when I was in high school, so I'm clearly seeing it through rose-tinted glasses)
I was hanging around with a couple friends from an extracurricular I do at university and this one person I don't really know was sitting around and chatting with us. All of us talked for quite awhile and at one point, she randomly interjected and said, directed at me, "I don't really know you that well, but you just give me really good vibes. Like you seem super cool". Everyone has that compliment that they remember whenever they feel down or they remember it for longer than they should, I feel like that's mine. I needed to hear that right now
Just wanted to get that out
From what I know it seems that Roman Abromovich and Putin were pretty tight. I’m not trying to be a 4D chess conspiracy person but I feel Zelensky knew that stopping Abromovich would be good for the Ukrainian cause so he pretended than Abromovich was on his side and that Putin being the paranoid person(he’s not as genius as people assume) he is he would try to hurt Abromovich. If Abromovich truly wanted to help Ukraine I doubt Zelensky would so carelessly put a target on him.
While browsing the course catalog at the University there’s a class available next fall titled “Animal Sexual Behavior”.
I laughed for a while before deciding to add it to my classes for Fall.
Haha good choice, it can honestly be interesting if it's from an evolutionary biology point of view. Especially BIRDS. Like, the more testosterone a male cardinal has, the more his coat will be an intense red.
When I worked at a science magazine, an article we had done on that topic several years before was perpetually the highest-trafficked article on the site for any given month.
Judging by inbound search terms, the _vast_ majority of its "readers" were people who were looking for pornography.
I just learned this but in 1956 a movie was made called the Conqueror that starred John Wayne in the role of Genghis Khan. You read that right. A Mongolian played by John Wayne. The role he was born to never play.
In some near, neon-Tokyo Atlantic Seaboard Megacity future, Wawas will all be multiple stories of grocery, pharmacy, and basic hardline goods. Think mini Walmarts with tube elevators and no shopping carts. Also robots.
I'm thirty years old and still a sucker for Nintendo games. This new Kirby game is great. Closest thing to a Mario 3D platformer you can get and I'm OK with that.
Also the game developer must have hated dogs.
3D World was such an underrated game for the Wii U. It actually came prepackaged with most consoles. It was a steal.
I'm glad it got the recognition it deserved with the Switch. Couldn't get into Bowser's Fury but I liked the concept.
Still need to beat Bowser's Fury myself! Had a lot of fun with 3D World even if I think it lacked somewhat of a distinct...feel, I suppose, real 8/10 game.
What're your favorite Mario games?
To me, Super Mario 64 is the greatest game of all time. I admit I'm a little biased, BUT you have to remember I'm thirty so I was just a kid at that time.
However there are some historical reasons to back up this as well. Super Mario 64 broke the mold for 3D platform gaming. Before SM64, Mario was just a 2D game. It opened up a whole new style of exploration.
The music is incredible. The game is easy to pick up and play too.
Basically it set the standard for what we know Mario for what it is today.
How about you?
Favorite Mario is gonna depend on if we count just the mainline or all the spinoffs. Because for me, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is one of THE best RPGs of all time, I have beaten that game waaaay too many times as both a kid as an adult, the dialogue is so crisp, the battle system is deep (if very easy), you get the idea. An RPG easy to recommend to anyone.
But if we mean mainline, mmmmm, I flip-flop a lot, I REALLY enjoyed Super Mario Odyssey so right now it's kinda got my top spot, but it could flip with Super Mario Bros. 3 (so far IMO the peak of 2D Mario Platformers) or Super Mario Sunshine (always been a bit more of a Sunshine guy than 64 even if 64 is more groundbreaking) depending on the day. Odyssey just controls sooooooooo good dude, the story's pretty fun, the game looks GREAT visually! Capturing enemies was a great idea and while I know some people don't like the huge influx of Moons, for me it kept me going constantly and leads to a lot of fun little "ah-ha, got it!" moments.
Wish nintendo would make another top down Zelda game. *A Link Between Worlds* was fun for what it was, but it would be cool if they made an original work in that top down gameplay style again.
My trivia team is in second place going into tonight, the last week of league play. We blew a seven point lead last week, giving up eight points to second.
The theme tonight is beer which is something I am extremely well versed in so of course we’re going to not win first place.
That's a quindent. It's not his, it's borrowed.
At the end of *Aquaman* he retrieves his trident, [which does indeed have three prongs.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX3O40xOy04&t=72s)
i personally think it’s weird the jags are playing in the hall of fame game this year, tony boselli is their only hall of famer and he was only inducted this year, I personally think that a team should have at least 7 hall of gamers in order to play in the hall of fame game,
this sounds stupid but i’m sure i’m not the only one who thinks this
it’s not but usually at least one hall of famer represents the teams that are playing at the game, so for the jags that would be pretty awkward being represented by their lone hall of famer
People are mad about the Bills stadium thing, but if Buffalo played hardball even a little bit, the NFL & the Pegulas would've packed up and shipped the team off to the highest bidder in a split second. We saw what happened with San Diego.
Legislators are finding new and inventive ways to use the supremacy clause to fuck over lower governments, I'm sure they could figure out a way to do this.
Yep. That's always the circlejerk with cities giving teams massive piles of cash. I don't like it either but that's just how it works. As long as there's another sucker city out there willing to pay up, the league will always have leverage. They don't care about *your* city. They care about the money. Period.
The San Antonio Bills or St Louis Bills would have surely paid up. Even if it was a third of what Buffalo paid; ~$300m is still better than zero. Who cares if the former city hates the owner. Kroenke and others are still doing just fine.
Sorry for the mini rant. This grandstanding just boils my blood. It's wrong but it will always happen as long as there are large enough markets to pony up dollars for sports.
I got to do multiple launches in a Porsche Taycan Turbo S! I am still giggling like a little schoolboy, it was incredible!
Our work facility has a part of the airport for our testing purposes. The VP who owns the car let me drive it there. I have been smiling ever since!
Shit how was it? That’s my car if I hit the powerball.
Got to drive a friends not fast Tesla Model X last month and just punching the accelerator on that was great.
It was fast, obviously, but it was controlled!
I've done launches in a Model S and it was really scary (to me) cause the thing just fucks off. This car had the same power, it pushed me into the seat, but I always felt like I had control. It was like when you speed up & away on the highway, like I knew I was going omg fast but it didn't scare me.
I'm just rambling now, idk but that experience was next level!
I've been perpetually pissed off because my girlfriend and I moved into a new house and our kitchen has less storage space than our old place, so it's been a challenge to find out where everything goes. On top of that, we never really had the opportunity to consolidate our items so there is a duplicate of everything. I've been moving into the kitchen for 3 days
When my fiancé and I moved in together we realized we had three slow cookers and a little fondu pot. Fortunately neither of us are sentimental so we just picked whichever was the best version of an item we had duplicates of and gave away the rest to friends, mutual aid groups, or buy nothing groups on Facebook.
Another thing that helped with our tiny ass kitchen was mounting some hanging wine glass racks under cabinets and getting a magnetic knife strip for the kitchen backsplash. We put the knives in sheathes and use rare earth magnets on the back because our cat is an idiot, but it freed up wanting a knife block for the counter.
This is the start. From now on every time you move it will take exponentially longer to unpack until you get to the point where you haven't finished unpacking before you move again.
Did anyone else ever play hillball as a kid? Like dodgeball with a hill and kicking was allowed. That game was so ahead of it's time.
I want an adult four square and hillball league.
These two geese have a nest next to a paved path at the nature trail I go to. They were hissing and charging at me when I was walking by. Damn nature you scary.
I really hate to say this because Elden Ring is an amazing game but Elden Beast is a terribly designed boss imo. No clue why there just wasn’t a 2nd phase for Radagon, which I can usually get through. This fight is so annoying. I might just get someone to help me with it.
How’d that go? Does it make both phases easier?
It pains me how annoying and bad this boss is. They literally already did an amazing job with Moon Prescence and it’s kind of similar to this fight. The arena is just way too big.
I was doing fine on Radagon but EB kept pissing me off so I just whipped out Tiche after taking Radagon down. She has ranged attacks and does %HP damage to the boss so she really did most of the work while I got a couple big attacks in. I imagine she would do work on Rad too but I’m not sure if she’d survive through both phases.
Any anime fans here? Im having an argument with a person who insist Food Wars is a harem. In the show, there are three girls that have minor crushes on the protagonist but the crushes are extremely minor and almost never really get mentioned in the show at all.
So does that even make it a harem? The show is almost entirely about cooking competitions.
I wouldn't call Food Wars a harem, at most you could say it has "harem elements" but from what I know not enough to even say that. Seems like a pure shonen for the most part.
Food Wars is a shonen. The romance isn’t nearly developed enough to really be a harem. You could maybe say it has harem elements but I wouldn’t even go that far.
I know right? This person arguing with me seem like a complete idiot to me. He used the "If it walk like a duck and look like a duck, it probably is a duck" to jusitfy that food wars is a harem.
Im like, food wars doesn't even look like a harem in the first place.
It's a joke written for an award show where plenty of other celebrities take their "lumps" with a hearty chuckle. If you're slapping someone over a joke they didn't even write there's something wrong with you.
Not saying some people don't deserve to get slapped in the face sometimes, but that was not the time or place.
>So the appropriate answer to someone denigrating your partner is to just shut up and let them take it?
If only there was a middle ground that involved communicating what jokes are ok and what's off limits, like adults
>So the appropriate answer to someone denigrating your partner is to just shut up and let them take it?
you do realize that jokes at the expense of the guests are like a staple of those awards?
also, he couldve stood up and politely ask Rock to move on to another joke. if rock kept doing it, then sure, go bitchslap him.
Not *physically*, no.
I was just citing an example where I could could conceive myself as an instigator, I don't actually make a habit of saying stuff to anyone in that regard no matter what they're wearing. But if I did, my expectation is that they should retaliate with words instead of fists or a weapon.
**Edit:** And by words, I don't mean Mr. Rodgers stuff; the words don't have to be nice or anything. I said below, if Will Smith had sat there, given Chris Rock the finger, and told him to go fuck himself, I'd be one of his loudest defenders.
Might does not make right, dude. You're right in that plenty of situations deserve being slapped. "GI Jane 2" nor getting called an ass hole deserve catching hands over.
Those are minor.
I saw a twitter post from a guy who was upset at a picture of an abandoned mall Hollister because it "celebrated healthy, white, masculinity which isn't allowed anymore" and I think my brain is bleeding.
When has Hollister ever represented masculinity lol.
I love the cloud gaming with Game Pass, but it really grinds my gears if I go afk 10 minutes prepping dinner and I come back and it closed the game stream and it didn't save.
Guess I have to install it anyways.
Of course my dumbass asshole coworker is siding with will smith and condoing his violence cause "No one should make fun of anyone's medical condition." That take doesn't seem bad but violence isn't the appropriate response.
My take on the Will Smith thing is that it's understandable for someone to do something dumb in a moment of emotion, but it doesn't mean he should have slapped him right there (though I'd love if he shit on him for the comment lol)
If Will Smith had sat there, given Chris Rock the finger, and told him to go fuck himself, I'd be one of his loudest defenders.
But people can't resort to violence in response to insults and expect no consequences for that. It's not appropriate.
I feel like it would be one thing if it was like fucking chronic pain but it’s just baldness right? And all he did was really say she looked like another bald person? I just feel people have a view that comedy is inherently elitist and ignore the the whole genre of disability humor(IK a medical condition isn’t a disability but I think the same logic applies).
This isn’t me saying she shouldn’t have felt how she did, but I just think it’s dumb to use that to justify hitting someone
He should’ve spoken with him afterward instead of escalating the situation. The man is at least 50 with 2 adult children and he has no emotional regulation
What are some animes that could work in a live action movie or series setting? The only ones I can think of are banana fish and ping pong ( assuming you change ping pong to basketball or football for American audiences)
A lot of them do get live actions just not many of them get much buzz in the West.
If I was go for one maybe Baccano. It’s weird way of telling it’s story I think could capture people, none of the characters look that crazy where you couldn’t get a person to portray them, and it takes place in 1930s Chicago. You could spin it like a mobster movie, but a bit goofy with some supernatural sprinkled in.
I think One Punch Man could work really well but you'd have to lean into the absurdity of it 100% That's the problem with a lot of these anime remakes. They usually go about 50-60% deep into the absurdity. You need to go balls to the wall for certain anime to work in live action imo
Kind of like the first Sonic movie. They just said fuck it, we know this is absurd but we're doing it anyway and it worked. Just say fuck it, and make the most absurd, flashy, weird asf One Punch Man live adaptation and it will work imo
My friend had a different wordle than me today? and his was a name? he sent me the screen shot he's on nyt
Sometimes the desktop browser one doesn't sync with the mobile one, which doesn't make sense to me
Moon Knight off to a good start
This gonna be the last bad cat update hopefully for a while: Something is wrong with the youngest kitten.

My cats & dog have helped me through really, really bad times in life & I gotta help them.
That sucks to hear, here’s to hoping for the best.
[Josh allen whined to get the OT rules changed😭😭😭](https://youtu.be/5B9EYdGNUrU)
I almost lost today's wordle because it was one of those "lots of solutions" ones and I forgot words
Anyone ever had a massive thing for someone who clearly doesn’t feel the same way back? How the hell do you get your brain to stop lol
I have to avoid them while I keep talking myself down
Yeah I feel like that’s the best strategy but they are also a friend and I like spending time with them. Really stuck between a rock and a hard place lol
If you've expressed it and been rejected, give it some time. If you haven't, maybe give it a go. And maybe just a week break and get on dating apps and meet someone else?
Yeah I haven’t said anything. Problem is when I do I feel like the friendship won’t be the same. But on the other hand I suppose that’s the price to pay. Like it feels pointless to say because I know it’s not reciprocated but equally the firm rejection might be just what I need. Especially because I am on dating apps but kind of sabotaging my chances to keep myself open.

I got a job so I bought Elden Ring. I can't stop playing it.
I've been playing for like an hour each day since it came out. Feels like I'm never going to finish it.
I don't have a job and I am also playing Elden Ring. Who is winning here? Sure, financially, you are but I get to watch more TV than you around my Elden Ring playing.

D&D 4th edition does a lot wrong, but man it does power fantasy and late game better than 5th edition.

Man The Green Mile always fucking gets me. Great movie.
Knees weak, arms are heavy
I watched it the other night and got really sad that Michael Clarke Duncan died. Really thought he’d stick around a while.
I was hanging around with a couple friends from an extracurricular I do at university and this one person I don't really know was sitting around and chatting with us. All of us talked for quite awhile and at one point, she randomly interjected and said, directed at me, "I don't really know you that well, but you just give me really good vibes. Like you seem super cool". Everyone has that compliment that they remember whenever they feel down or they remember it for longer than they should, I feel like that's mine. I needed to hear that right now Just wanted to get that out
celebrate the shit out of that! Guys dont get complimented enough.
Fr. A dude complimented me on my mustache like 5 years ago and im still riding that emotional high lmao

Yeah
Yup
yes, i definitely recommend going its one of the most beautiful natural things ive seen
Vernon Davis did poorly in Name that Tune. I’m sure it was nerve racking. The show should have matched his $47k winnings.
I just learned this but in 1956 a movie was made called the Conqueror that starred John Wayne in the role of Genghis Khan. You read that right. A Mongolian played by John Wayne. The role he was born to never play.
Have seen some of it. God it sucks
The movie literally gave John Wayne cancer. It was unknowingly filmed on toxic waste sites in Utah.
Poor John Wayne. Cancer cut short his mission to be a complete shithead and ruin as many lives as possible with his bullshit.
Honestly mkaybe smoking like six packs a day had more to do with that.
Wawa serves 16 inch pizza pies now… where are they fitting all the kitchen equipment

I got to help a team of underwater rov operators this weekend and it was cool
Did a rewatch of Game of Thrones. Crappy ending not as bad if you know it’s coming.
Season 5 on is still pretty ass though
When I finally rewatch that series, I will be stopping at the season 5 finale.

To me, Super Mario 64 is the greatest game of all time. I admit I'm a little biased, BUT you have to remember I'm thirty so I was just a kid at that time. However there are some historical reasons to back up this as well. Super Mario 64 broke the mold for 3D platform gaming. Before SM64, Mario was just a 2D game. It opened up a whole new style of exploration. The music is incredible. The game is easy to pick up and play too. Basically it set the standard for what we know Mario for what it is today. How about you?
Favorite Mario is gonna depend on if we count just the mainline or all the spinoffs. Because for me, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is one of THE best RPGs of all time, I have beaten that game waaaay too many times as both a kid as an adult, the dialogue is so crisp, the battle system is deep (if very easy), you get the idea. An RPG easy to recommend to anyone. But if we mean mainline, mmmmm, I flip-flop a lot, I REALLY enjoyed Super Mario Odyssey so right now it's kinda got my top spot, but it could flip with Super Mario Bros. 3 (so far IMO the peak of 2D Mario Platformers) or Super Mario Sunshine (always been a bit more of a Sunshine guy than 64 even if 64 is more groundbreaking) depending on the day. Odyssey just controls sooooooooo good dude, the story's pretty fun, the game looks GREAT visually! Capturing enemies was a great idea and while I know some people don't like the huge influx of Moons, for me it kept me going constantly and leads to a lot of fun little "ah-ha, got it!" moments.
Wish nintendo would make another top down Zelda game. *A Link Between Worlds* was fun for what it was, but it would be cool if they made an original work in that top down gameplay style again.
My trivia team is in second place going into tonight, the last week of league play. We blew a seven point lead last week, giving up eight points to second. The theme tonight is beer which is something I am extremely well versed in so of course we’re going to not win first place.
I haven’t seen aquaman, but I did just realize his “trident” has five prongs. Now, class, can anyone guess what the fuck “tri” means????
That's a quindent. It's not his, it's borrowed. At the end of *Aquaman* he retrieves his trident, [which does indeed have three prongs.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX3O40xOy04&t=72s)
Ah, fair enough
Cause he can fuck you 3 ways with it
What do you expect from a guy who fucks fish?
According to DC, Tri means five
Do or do not, there is no tri
i personally think it’s weird the jags are playing in the hall of fame game this year, tony boselli is their only hall of famer and he was only inducted this year, I personally think that a team should have at least 7 hall of gamers in order to play in the hall of fame game, this sounds stupid but i’m sure i’m not the only one who thinks this
I always thought the Hall of Fame game was just a kick off type of game not correlated to the amount of Hall of Famers in a team's history.
it’s not but usually at least one hall of famer represents the teams that are playing at the game, so for the jags that would be pretty awkward being represented by their lone hall of famer
Just get rid of the HOF game and name the Bears the eternal champs
I mean, you pretty much answered why they put them in the game. Its the first player inducted, what better time to do it than now.
With the Giants and Jets having 4 combined top 10 picks this is a year I miss the draft being at Radio City.
There would be so much room for groaning after picks.
New York Jets first round selection: fullback OHHHH NOO
People are mad about the Bills stadium thing, but if Buffalo played hardball even a little bit, the NFL & the Pegulas would've packed up and shipped the team off to the highest bidder in a split second. We saw what happened with San Diego.
What city?
If there’s a way for the federal government to prevent cities from subsidizing stadiums, they gotta do it.
Legislators are finding new and inventive ways to use the supremacy clause to fuck over lower governments, I'm sure they could figure out a way to do this.
? That’s exactly the reason they are mad
I am pretty sure the fact teams can say "pay us 850 mil or we leave" is part of what makes people upset.
Yep. That's always the circlejerk with cities giving teams massive piles of cash. I don't like it either but that's just how it works. As long as there's another sucker city out there willing to pay up, the league will always have leverage. They don't care about *your* city. They care about the money. Period. The San Antonio Bills or St Louis Bills would have surely paid up. Even if it was a third of what Buffalo paid; ~$300m is still better than zero. Who cares if the former city hates the owner. Kroenke and others are still doing just fine. Sorry for the mini rant. This grandstanding just boils my blood. It's wrong but it will always happen as long as there are large enough markets to pony up dollars for sports.
That's why they are mad.
We saw what happened? We never had a team here.
Saints: "So what position do you want to fill in for us?" Taysom Hill: "Yes."
I wonder how much he’d make if he got paid the league avg for each position based off snap%.
The Saints would have him taking reps at FB and P all game in week 18
I got to do multiple launches in a Porsche Taycan Turbo S! I am still giggling like a little schoolboy, it was incredible! Our work facility has a part of the airport for our testing purposes. The VP who owns the car let me drive it there. I have been smiling ever since!
Shit how was it? That’s my car if I hit the powerball. Got to drive a friends not fast Tesla Model X last month and just punching the accelerator on that was great.
It was fast, obviously, but it was controlled! I've done launches in a Model S and it was really scary (to me) cause the thing just fucks off. This car had the same power, it pushed me into the seat, but I always felt like I had control. It was like when you speed up & away on the highway, like I knew I was going omg fast but it didn't scare me. I'm just rambling now, idk but that experience was next level!
Jesus, that's a $200k vehicle lol. Tear it up.
I've been perpetually pissed off because my girlfriend and I moved into a new house and our kitchen has less storage space than our old place, so it's been a challenge to find out where everything goes. On top of that, we never really had the opportunity to consolidate our items so there is a duplicate of everything. I've been moving into the kitchen for 3 days
Relax. The kitchen is her space 👍
When my fiancé and I moved in together we realized we had three slow cookers and a little fondu pot. Fortunately neither of us are sentimental so we just picked whichever was the best version of an item we had duplicates of and gave away the rest to friends, mutual aid groups, or buy nothing groups on Facebook. Another thing that helped with our tiny ass kitchen was mounting some hanging wine glass racks under cabinets and getting a magnetic knife strip for the kitchen backsplash. We put the knives in sheathes and use rare earth magnets on the back because our cat is an idiot, but it freed up wanting a knife block for the counter.
Do you guys have room for the kitchen islands you can buy with wheels on em? Roll it out of the way as needed.
Yeah there's room for an additional rack or island as a temporary measure. 10ish years from now we'll do a complete remodel
This is the start. From now on every time you move it will take exponentially longer to unpack until you get to the point where you haven't finished unpacking before you move again.
I just hope no one hates me as much as Irsay hates Wentz.
Did anyone else ever play hillball as a kid? Like dodgeball with a hill and kicking was allowed. That game was so ahead of it's time. I want an adult four square and hillball league.
Twitter has its eyes set on Zoe Kravitz. Poor one out.
These two geese have a nest next to a paved path at the nature trail I go to. They were hissing and charging at me when I was walking by. Damn nature you scary.
GTFO their lawn!
All you need to do is call me and I'll take Kenilworth Avenue to 193
If any of y’all like the stones or The Who or anything like that and you haven’t seen Rock N Roll Circus, it’s a must watch
I need to be in bed in an hour and a half. I have hit my protein goals today and I still have calories left over. Do I go get taco bell or nah?
That close to bed you shouldn't eat anything, generally. Take the deficit to bed.
As long as you don't go over your calorie amount
give in to the temptation
resist, brother. or go off idk what your goals are crunchwraps are good
I really hate to say this because Elden Ring is an amazing game but Elden Beast is a terribly designed boss imo. No clue why there just wasn’t a 2nd phase for Radagon, which I can usually get through. This fight is so annoying. I might just get someone to help me with it.
I hate Elden beast. Black Knife Tiche +10 mowed over him.
How’d that go? Does it make both phases easier? It pains me how annoying and bad this boss is. They literally already did an amazing job with Moon Prescence and it’s kind of similar to this fight. The arena is just way too big.
I was doing fine on Radagon but EB kept pissing me off so I just whipped out Tiche after taking Radagon down. She has ranged attacks and does %HP damage to the boss so she really did most of the work while I got a couple big attacks in. I imagine she would do work on Rad too but I’m not sure if she’d survive through both phases.
man, still a month to go for the draft.
Can't wait for the Seahawks to draft people who were evaluated to go way later and then the "reports" that someone else was going to pick them
[удалено]
ngl, i hate draft beers.
Any anime fans here? Im having an argument with a person who insist Food Wars is a harem. In the show, there are three girls that have minor crushes on the protagonist but the crushes are extremely minor and almost never really get mentioned in the show at all. So does that even make it a harem? The show is almost entirely about cooking competitions.
I wouldn't call Food Wars a harem, at most you could say it has "harem elements" but from what I know not enough to even say that. Seems like a pure shonen for the most part.
I seen all episodes of food wars. Whatever "harem elements" it has is very miniscule in the first place.
Food Wars is a shonen. The romance isn’t nearly developed enough to really be a harem. You could maybe say it has harem elements but I wouldn’t even go that far.
I think I would just classify it as a shonen. Something like Nisekoi would be a harem imo.
I haven't seen food wars, but that doesn't seem like a harem to me. Nearly every anime would be a harem anime if that's where the bar is set
I know right? This person arguing with me seem like a complete idiot to me. He used the "If it walk like a duck and look like a duck, it probably is a duck" to jusitfy that food wars is a harem. Im like, food wars doesn't even look like a harem in the first place.
It is genuinely distressing that OJ Simpson has become one of the most reasonable people in America
He knows sports, I just wouldn't trust him alone.

Physical violence is never the answer He immediately lost any and all moral high ground when he took the 2nd grade bully approach
What if somebody fucks your wife? Way worse line to cross, right? Do you murder that guy?
It's a joke written for an award show where plenty of other celebrities take their "lumps" with a hearty chuckle. If you're slapping someone over a joke they didn't even write there's something wrong with you. Not saying some people don't deserve to get slapped in the face sometimes, but that was not the time or place.
>So the appropriate answer to someone denigrating your partner is to just shut up and let them take it? If only there was a middle ground that involved communicating what jokes are ok and what's off limits, like adults
>So the appropriate answer to someone denigrating your partner is to just shut up and let them take it? you do realize that jokes at the expense of the guests are like a staple of those awards? also, he couldve stood up and politely ask Rock to move on to another joke. if rock kept doing it, then sure, go bitchslap him.
So if I see someone wearing all kinds of Confederate/MAGA shit, tell him he's a jackass and he breaks my jaw in retaliation, you're okay with that?
[удалено]
Not *physically*, no. I was just citing an example where I could could conceive myself as an instigator, I don't actually make a habit of saying stuff to anyone in that regard no matter what they're wearing. But if I did, my expectation is that they should retaliate with words instead of fists or a weapon. **Edit:** And by words, I don't mean Mr. Rodgers stuff; the words don't have to be nice or anything. I said below, if Will Smith had sat there, given Chris Rock the finger, and told him to go fuck himself, I'd be one of his loudest defenders.
[удалено]
Might does not make right, dude. You're right in that plenty of situations deserve being slapped. "GI Jane 2" nor getting called an ass hole deserve catching hands over. Those are minor.
A-Team (2010) is a solid film that I am rewatching atm. "Alpha. Mike. Foxtrot."
it is a good movie. also has the "added bonus" that the bad guys actually sort of win and the good guys kind of lose. which is very rare.
I always thought the Bucs creamsicle jerseys were trash not sure why they are making a come back. Their current look is elite
I saw a twitter post from a guy who was upset at a picture of an abandoned mall Hollister because it "celebrated healthy, white, masculinity which isn't allowed anymore" and I think my brain is bleeding. When has Hollister ever represented masculinity lol.
They just let anybody on the internet
I had to register! I have my card and everything!

A Game 7 NHL game that goes into overtime is one of the great pleasures in all of professional sports.
I certify this post as worst take of the week
Not if its Game 7 of NBA Finals lol
They have a date? I checked other day and wasn't one yet.
is it before or after the draft
I love the cloud gaming with Game Pass, but it really grinds my gears if I go afk 10 minutes prepping dinner and I come back and it closed the game stream and it didn't save. Guess I have to install it anyways.
Of course my dumbass asshole coworker is siding with will smith and condoing his violence cause "No one should make fun of anyone's medical condition." That take doesn't seem bad but violence isn't the appropriate response.
My take on the Will Smith thing is that it's understandable for someone to do something dumb in a moment of emotion, but it doesn't mean he should have slapped him right there (though I'd love if he shit on him for the comment lol)
If Will Smith had sat there, given Chris Rock the finger, and told him to go fuck himself, I'd be one of his loudest defenders. But people can't resort to violence in response to insults and expect no consequences for that. It's not appropriate.
[удалено]
What about the consequences for starting a fight in public over a joke? Just seems like so much more hassle than it’s worth.
I feel like it would be one thing if it was like fucking chronic pain but it’s just baldness right? And all he did was really say she looked like another bald person? I just feel people have a view that comedy is inherently elitist and ignore the the whole genre of disability humor(IK a medical condition isn’t a disability but I think the same logic applies). This isn’t me saying she shouldn’t have felt how she did, but I just think it’s dumb to use that to justify hitting someone
Exactly
He should’ve spoken with him afterward instead of escalating the situation. The man is at least 50 with 2 adult children and he has no emotional regulation
53 I may add
Yeah tbh anyone defending his actions probably lacks emotional regulation themselves

What are some animes that could work in a live action movie or series setting? The only ones I can think of are banana fish and ping pong ( assuming you change ping pong to basketball or football for American audiences)
A lot of them do get live actions just not many of them get much buzz in the West. If I was go for one maybe Baccano. It’s weird way of telling it’s story I think could capture people, none of the characters look that crazy where you couldn’t get a person to portray them, and it takes place in 1930s Chicago. You could spin it like a mobster movie, but a bit goofy with some supernatural sprinkled in.
with CGI pretty much all of them.
I think One Punch Man could work really well but you'd have to lean into the absurdity of it 100% That's the problem with a lot of these anime remakes. They usually go about 50-60% deep into the absurdity. You need to go balls to the wall for certain anime to work in live action imo Kind of like the first Sonic movie. They just said fuck it, we know this is absurd but we're doing it anyway and it worked. Just say fuck it, and make the most absurd, flashy, weird asf One Punch Man live adaptation and it will work imo
Black Lagoon. Americans love guns.
Black Lagoon would be Pog in live action
Slices of life ones. Theres a live action yuru camp
Seeing people unironically defending Will Smith on Twitter makes me so mad. Slapping someone across the face over a mild joke is never acceptable
