There's instructions on how to make a pinhole camera out of a timmies cup pretty much everywhere today. It got dark af here. Not quite night, but close to dusk dark, which was noticeable even though we had overcast skies today. The eastern horizon turned golden orange briefly, then brightened back t...

My take on religious beliefs is steaming hot. We're taught in Abnormal Psychology that among family members and first-degree relatives of patients with clinical delusional disorders, strong religious and/or spiritual beliefs, magical thinking, etc. are very common, and often serve as a prodrome of a...

The below is US specific. Andrew Yang's talk about programs like UBI just giving people money with less strings and much less wasted money going into admin overhead sounded pretty good when I heard it forever ago. Even without UBI, I think the disability system we currently have has something baked...

I've had discussions with (former) friends about freedom of religion and if they agreed with it. "You're free to practice Christianity, because this is a Christian nation. If you want to practice some other religion, there are other countries." "So freedom of religion, to you, means ...

good fucking god I haven't heard about this console since before the Big Bang

My mom got us a Vectrex with Minestorm back in 1983 and my sis and I fought over it so bitterly she took it back ;_;

It sounds like they cribbed a perennial list of rejected/retired Minecraft mechanics and windmill slammed them into the game. Along with the classic Kung Fu movie soundtrack delay for important telegraphed cues for AI attacks. Which I can totally see being a legit issue if you're playing this shit o...

I AM GROOT (FUCK THA PO-LICE)

Waiting my turn to play through, thinking of all the oldey-tymey classified ads for mail-order patent medicines, replete with florid, bogus testimonials from satisfied customers and fellow druggists: "I haven't been able to move my bowels in about 16 years, due to a war wound. Our doctor had ex...

I have a bad tooth that I'm slow-rolling towards a root canal. I need to soak my cereal good in milk before I can chew it. Therefore there's hardly enough left to drink, but I do pour off what I can save for the next day. Or use it in cocoa, which makes for interesting bits in the cocoa :/

For some reason in my head anyone with less than 150 hp seems like they would be poor performers in bed. Sorry scoot/sniper/spy. As for relationship skills, while good food, music, and drink are the way to a woman's heart, nobody builds a cozier nest than Engie. Medic is right out. Although he gets ...

Jake and Elwood need a box like this

Every box ever brought into this home is this, implicitly.
It's written on every side, every flap, in cat hair/dander/tink.

Right? Every fucking time it's like 1: Copper Boulder 2: Fart Golem 3: Bagel Shaped Cow The armadillo is particularly egregious when there's already a mob that drops scutes. Just use that for dog armor on account of nobody bothers making the turtle hat anyway. Compact logic gates when? Recipe for b...

Also even in several passages in De Bello Gallico, Caesar acknowledges Titus Labienus is a sadistic martinet. Patriot, yes. Unafraid to speak truth to power, yes. Legitimately clinically sadist, getting in various scrapes because he brutalized cadets, also yes. Maybe Patton's delusion of having been...

It honestly tweedles my dee when I hear other people saying Cicero rocks. He often gets painted with the same shitbrush as the entire legal profession because countless shysters and crooked judges have plaster busts of Cicero installed in their workspaces. It's almost a cliche in movies featuring al...

Nebraska man pulled over while driving car with giant Watusi bull named Howdy Doody riding shotgun Look, I know it's not safe, but apart from the calling the cops part, this is the kind of news story I can get behind. https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Howdy-doody.webp?w=2048 (apparen...

yeah watching this going on while an old lady dithered and fumbled with her debit card was somewhat entertaining and a bit of a relief, since the old lady in question was not me, for a change

This is me, down to the square chin and puffy raw spud face with the clenched gash in it for lips
