Nowhere near as high-stakes as some of the others here, but…

When I was 16 or so, I was hanging out with a few friends and one of them pulled out a joint and a bottle of some kind of liquor, and started passing it around. I got a really bad feeling about it and bailed on it.

Found out the next day that after I’d left, they’d gotten pretty drunk and/or high, and had decided it would be a good idea to take one of their mother’s minivan for a drive around their property. They scraped the side of it on something, took off a huge bit of paint, and then decided the best course of action would be to use some spray paint they found in the garage to try and cover it up.

They were all grounded for quite a long time, a fate I managed to avoid by leaving when I did.

There’s also endless content of them confidently presenting these arguments to judges when they’ve broken laws and being immediately shut down by said judges.

What the fuck

This sounds like the Train Simulator of driving games, which I’m sure there’s a market for. I think it could have more mass appeal without compromising the vision if you included a set of in-game goals like visiting various landmarks, obeying (or disobeying) road rules, or whatever else.

I would never say “Sorry your dog died 😭”, because emoji by their nature add too much levity to such a statement.

I think this depends heavily on which ones you use. The simple ones like 🙁 are fine (IMO); they’re often autocorrected from :( which I’ve never seen as making light of the situation. I use those a lot just to indicate the tone of a message. There’s a big difference between “I’m so sorry 🙁” and “I’m so sorry 😉”.

This is interesting; specs look pretty solid for the price. Notably this uses DDR4 ram vs. the DDR5 in the Steam Machine which, given the current… situation… probably contributes a lot to the price point seeming reasonable.

You’re fine, it’ll get easier as you get more metaprogression unlocked. Once you win once, you’ll find future wins easier. Also maybe try other weapons until you find one that jives with your playstyle.

So you’re saying he has a future career in government?

Even just like… hitting a speed bump would be pretty bad.

I think about it every time I pay for health insurance, personally, which is every paycheck.

No quicker way to negatively influence a friendship than loaning money. Doubly so with the expectation of interest.

I live in one of the bluest states; I actually like our politicians well enough. My district’s house rep in particular has been consistently on the right side of every important vote I’ve checked up on. As a result, though, I don’t exactly have a lot of contact with the crazier part of the population.

he sure is an antichrist

He is anti-Christ.

The problem is that it says it in the same general section that it talks about how to treat your slaves and things, so it’s really kind of ridiculous to cherry pick this one thing as something we should uphold today while ignoring everything else.

Trust me, literally no one from the US needs a reminder that our health care system sucks. We think about that all the time.

He did previously say that as the “winners” of the war, the US was entitled to collect that toll, basically. So, yeah, I think you’re spot on.

You forgot to praise Allah.

To get a fair comparison, you’d need to poll people who are the same age that you were at the time you’re comparing to. I bet you’ll find that they’re just as into gaming as you were at that age. What’s happening is that you’re getting older, and you aren’t enchanted by the same things that you once were. Basically, this is a ‘Back in my day…’ rant about the ‘good old days’.

This is great. This is his new name in my head.
