What’s the worst date you’ve ever had, and why was it so awful?
  • Worst was this girl making an uncomfortable amount of eye contact the whole time. It was like she was trying to start her way into my soul. I'd make eye contact to talk but kept having to look away because she was just too intense. I would not be surprised if she was some sort of succubus or siren trying to drain my life force.

    After about an hour she asks if I have autism... I went to the bathroom and called one of my friends to vent. When I returned she asked if there was going to be a second date... There was not.

  • Study hack
  • Don't get me started on low quality professors/classes. I went back to get my BS after getting an associates a few years prior and the teachers were much worse and the classes were teaching less than I learned at community college. Very infuriating. I did the minimum to pass a class just so I could leave a review ripping into the teacher/class.

  • Different doctors have recently told me to lose weight and go to talk therapy. Both good advice in the long run, but neither are of immediate help or related to current symptoms.

    I think it stems from going to the ER and the doctor writing down that I'm anxious. Of course I'm anxious, I'm in the ER and feel like shit. Now that's on my chart and I feel like every doctor is judging me off that.

  • EVs are cleaner than gas cars, but a growing share of Americans don't believe it
  • It's not that public transportation is for the poors, it's that it is inconvenient. I used to ride the metro every day to work when I lived in DC and it added an extra hour vs driving. I didn't mind as I could chill and read a book or listen to music but it was extra time.

    When I moved to Portland I could take the bus to work because my house and job were on the same route so it was only about 5 minutes more than driving. Now I'd have to take 2 buses, or walk a mile to the bus stop on the same route as my work. Either option would turn a 10 minute drive into an hour commute each way. I don't have that kind of extra time when I work 12 hour shifts and come home on my lunch break to walk the dog. I assume people with kids have even more of a time crunch.

  • Why didn't I buy a e-reader sooner?
  • My ethics on piracy are it depends on who's profiting. If the original writer is dead and the estate is profiting like Tolkien, fuck em. If the book is good but the author sucks like Orson Scott Card, fuck em. A living writer who you want to keep writing books, go out and buy that shit or at least get it from Libby.

    Also humble bundle is a great source for building a large legal library. Though sometimes they tie bundles to kobo which sucks. They didn't used to do that.

  • Caitlin Clark’s Instagram Account Flooded With Negative Comments After She Liked Taylor Swift’s Endorsement of Kamala Harris
  • Hey, she got me watching WNBA content and I don't even watch the NBA. Mostly I just get intrigued by players people dislike for no reason, like Lamar Jackson in the NFL. Dude has won 2 MVPs and carries the Ravens offense but people just move the goal posts on him every year.

  • Assassins [Skeleton Claw]
  • Just never go into a convenience store. Aside from the sparse selection of fruit everything else there is bad for you. Tobacco, energy drinks, shitty snack food, lotto tickets. The only convenience is an early release from your mortal coil.

  • What a lovely thing to do.
  • They all want to be remembered and worshiped for what they accomplished by seeing numbers go up in their bank account.

    They are too egotistical to realize they would actually earn respect, adoration and have a legacy if they put their money towards helping the world be a better place. Instead they seem to think having a dick measuring contest via rocketships is a good way to help humanity.

  • Remember when games had manuals too?
  • I still have the guide that came with Earthbound. I read that thing through so many times as a kid. I think my parents bought it new on clearance because it didn't sell and I was having a rough year.

    Still remember the night I got it. It was a nice summer night, there was a block party on our street. My parents wanted to stay later than usual but let me go home to play. The adults were only one house over, but it felt like growing up getting to be home alone.

    That opening sequence felt like it could have been my life in a different reality. It took a few years for me to finally beat it , but it felt like growing up with the characters in a way.

    I feel the guidebook had a lot to do with my memories. It was so cool how it was presented as newspapers from towns along the way and it being a tangible object added to the immersion. Seriously a great gaming experience I can't ever replicate.

  • Remember when games had manuals too?
  • I remember doing that for HoMM3. I brought it with me from home when I stayed with my grandparents for a few weeks one summer. It wouldn't install on their PC so I just read the manual cover to cover forever.
