California - Because it needs its own thread

When you spearfish, do you catch and release or do you keep 'em? I think you're joking, but just in case. No, taking fish involves putting a large hole in it. If it doesn't kill the fish immediately it is imperative you do so before the blood and movement attracts something higher in the foot chain...

Noita

This game rules, I have an absurd amount of hours playing it. Second only to Rust in Steam.

They just pushed out a new updated that puts out more spells, enemies, fixes, and content, and it's on sale for like 8 dollars. I think I have 600+ hours in it.

Wait a minute. . . 'we'? Who's this mystery 'partner' you're buying a house with!? Her name is Jessica, and she's a pretty, left handed, outdoorsy, woman in tech. Who I've convinced to both play Dungeons and Dragons and go Spearfishing with me. (It would appear I have a type). Been dating since ear...

For a week after we would wake up in the morning, or see each other across a dinner table and randomly go:

"LAST? REALLY??" and start laughing.

California - Because it needs its own thread

California could wave its hand and fix the debt issue by assessing property taxes at current value rather than last sale value. It would create a massive homeless crisis, on top of the existing one, but they could do it. Me, unhoused person sitting on cash wishing inventory was higher, is a proponent.

Back in NC and Atlanta I was a die hard NPR guy. Any car ride I was listening. But my lord, the NPR that comes out of Berkeley is UNBEARABLE, just awful. If you aren't getting the national shows like WWDTM, The World, etc. it is like nails on a chalk board. Every awful stereotype you ever heard, eve...

We make fun of Tyler Perry, but he is capable of making movies AA want to watch. Jordan Peele too I think.

Turns out AA's weren't thrilled to go to a movie that fully embraced a racist stereotype they didn't' like.*

How tf did this get made?

Today in Pedophilia

Worse than many version of this I've seen. Just a straight up serial pedophile rapist. Yikes.

A man going to prison for similar crimes would be in even deeper shit. Dunno if that works for ladies.

Makes sense, it's a big deal to a ton of voters, even in the deep red states.

Not sure why I should suddenly believe him, though.

Got my gaming laptop and my suit for court Sunday.

I got a 5v5 in before I went to bed - I fronted one side of the map with Core vehicles and had a starting spot behind me that went air/support. We rolled - I went up the flank and killed two players. Multi is so fun.

I guess when Trump got caught with state nuclear secrets in his bathroom he lost all my support. And the other guy is old and boring, and despite that great injustice, my life is going pretty well, despite what R's continue to yell at me on Fox News. So my position is firm and easy?

Schrodinger's Biden. Simultaneously a lost-the-plot old man, and a totalitarian dictator that has swept his vast criminal empire under the rug for decades.

Constantly saying one side is bad while ignoring the transgressions of the other is worthy of comment. It's one thing to run with "innocent until proven guilty", but another thing to only apply that to one side. Stills standing here, asking for concrete proof. It's all I want. Not whatabo...
