It is one of the best games I’ve played this year. Really easy to get into for short bits, I pirated it first, played for a few hours on PC, bought it, played it for a few dozen more, and happily bought it for my phone.

Really good, very addictive

Semi recently had mine try to take me through a private business parking lot which was entirely fenced off, and didn’t even connect on the other side. That was… confusing, to say the least.

As long as the demand exists in the market, the niche will be filled. There’s simply too much money to be made.

As a related example:

Mexico has a cartel problem not because their government is weak, but because the scale of the American drug market means every cartel has an annual income that dwarfs any conceivable taxation revenue. Which means they’re better armed, better staffed, better equipped, and overall a more formidable threat than can be dealt with.

Even fully legalizing drugs in the US might not undercut the cartels at this point because their operations have extended so far into legitimate forms of income at this point. Cartels are an agricultural powerhouse, and are responsibility for the vast majority of avocado production for example.

Full on gladiator combat games is absolutely on my late stage capitalism bingo card. UFC is a baby step on that path.

This. My phone camera takes ultra high resolution pictures then algorithmically processes them. They look more beautiful and real than reality.

The biggest change when we got new window AC units was how much more quiet they are.

Do acid, it’s cheap as fuck, lasts 12 hours, is generally a great time, and will allow introspection about your life

I could see like…a row of purple accent tiles in a backsplash. But fuck.

The thought of having literally every tool conceivable immediately available without having to move is fantastic.

I’m in love with the concept of laying under my car, while also being able to get any particular tool in my hand, without ever having to get up, or having a little pile of sockets, wrenches, and bolts next to me that I have to navigate by feel.

My wife has an iPad and one of the things I hate the most is that you can’t install adblock extensions into Firefox on it like you can on Android. Which is a thing that has made using the browser on the phone wayyyy more enjoyable.

It’s an incredibly hard read. It’s legitimately a graduate school philosophy class reading level. I would love to take that theoretical class and read along/discuss with a group but it’s hard to go through alone.

I’m convinced every “bigfoot” sighting is actually “bear with mange walking on its hind legs”

It definitely sucks. The difference in quality between the pine boards my dad purchased at the hardware store for projects when I was a child, vs the pine boards available now when I get some for a project is NUTS. The number of rings visible on the end has dropped from a dozen or more to a mere handful, they’re way less dense than they used to be.

I fucking HATE buying lumber because it’s an all day ordeal to sort through the stack of boards to find a dozen that aren’t warped, crooked, knotted, rough edged, or missing a corner because it came from the very edge of the log. I almost wish they’d leave an open space next to the stack so I could stick all the trash boards there as I go through them, because only one out of every ten to fifteen is actually usable for anything where precision or appearance matters.

Or you can choose to pay a premium over the already absurd (but appropriate, considering the factors you mentioned) for “Select” grade boards. It’s legitimately difficult to build any kind of furniture type project under what it would cost to buy from a company producing the same thing using an economy-at-scale advantage.

A “buddy cop” comedy movie starring Russell Crowe and Gerard Butler in which they’re firefighters who have to actually, physically fight the fires with their fists.

Text can be ambiguous, if only there were some kind of image that would could reliably it indicate the emotional context of your statements.

You know, like JIF animAted pictures

I feel bad enough when I’m letting the tap run during dishes when it’s taking me a second to scrub something lol

I can’t for the life of me find the earlier hot pursuit ANYWHERE

On a similar note - I want a remake of mercenaries

When there’s no refunds in x period but no penalty to reschedule, so you reschedule and then cancel.
