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.

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.

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.
