Also, where do you get dolled up to go? Do you put on that nice jacket when you’re running to the grocery store or when you’re going to a fancy show? Where do you happen to see people you know? Probably in the places you regularly go to

Depending on what application I’m using and which side my bubble is on. Showing me pointing at myself and the number 2 on fingers to mirror doing the same motion in real life

Foundation was for my bookclub so I just read that. I have read I, Robot and Nightfall and do like Asimov in general, I may come back to the series time permitting

There have been multiple times reading DB that I had to remind myself it was written by a dude in Japan in the 80s who had no idea it would be popular, let alone become a global phenomenon. Roshi and Bulma early on is a little gross, and Goku is way too fascinated with people’s groins. It’s still pretty fun

I understand you’re being sassy but below zero you do start saying “no but seriously, how can it be this cold?” Zero is about the lower limit before temperature stops being distinguishable and just becomes cold

Finished: Foundation by Asimov. Pretty great, I liked the repeated theme that violence is just a bad solution, not a “wrong” one. You can sit around arguing philosophy all day, but if one path involves death and destruction and the other avoids it then it’s hard to argue with results

In progress: Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama. I got a color e-reader for Christmas so I’ve been seeing what Manga is like on it. It’s funny and plays pretty fast and loose with its own rules. It’s also much faster than watching the show

Naughty Bear. At the time I expected to be a funny, dark humor game. Unfortunately it was almost unplayable. I remember multiple times being unable to advance because the game just broke. I didn’t suffer through it very long

Honestly the problem is that people have a problem with conceding games. Even bigger is that some people don’t want to let you concede the game and want to spend another 20 minutes winning. Playing competitive games like chess and Magic: the Gathering have taught me conceding is an acknowledgement of reality, not being a bad sport

I’m 85% sure that vending machine is a guy

Unrealistic. They’d just shoot the dog

There’s no shadow to our plots. They laid out the plans in project 2025 and they constantly brag about what they want to do. The only surprise is when Trump decides to give a shit about something and that’s not plotting, it’s just him being stupid

There’s a documentary on these 2 Dutch sisters in their 70s who have been in the game for over 100 years between them. So they’re probably up there:

The tampon alcohol thing does work and is very dangerous. Less of the alcohol goes through your liver so you get much more drunk very quickly

Recency bias go!

1. Konosuba
2. Dragon Ball Super (the ToP is the best arc, fight me nerds)
3. JoJo
4. Solo Leveling (the only series that made me go out and buy the Manga to see what happens next)
5. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

I’m on kobo libra color and share this opinion. It reads basically every file I throw at it and is super easy to use. Plus it’s great for piracy

It depended on where in the world you were. Both Russia and America wanted to avoid full on conflict so they established proxy wars to try weaken the other. America was certainly the aggressor in Vietnam and Korea while Russia was the aggressor in Cuba and arguably in Afghanistan amongst a whole myriad of other conflicts

There’s one of your problems solved. I had a discussion in a weekly thread there

I mean, he was also very close to Roy Cohn. Another, but differently prodigious monster

I was out on St Patrick’s day and saw a guy go by in a novelty top hat that looked similar to this:

And I shouted “Holy shit! It’s St Jamiroquai!” to absolutely zero response
