  • Yes in retrospect the Turkish Delight Diet never really got off the ground for a reason.

    And that reason was Type 2 Diabetes.

  • Oh I'm sure many Black folk would be interested in visiting their ancestral homelands, but they have a hard time finding them for some reason. I WONDER WHY THAT MIGHT BE.

  • Hah, my mom fell for this shit from letter that circulated around. Dumbest shit ever.

    All due to Sodium Erythorbate.

  • Johnny Cash too!

  • I know it's a meme but there's an actual answer: because humans have them, and Dr. Soong wanted Data to feel human. That was the whole point of the project from what I understand.

  • The thing is he's a really cheap drunk because you never have to serve him anything over a certain age.

  • Having been involved in one of those wars, from a grunt's perspective it mostly feels like this:

    1. Follow FC to assigned position.
    2. Observe slide show because there's a zillion people in this system and time dilation kicked in.
    3. Push butan when told over comms.
    4. Explode for some reason.
    5. Try to escape in pod, get podded because the UI is hard to use and TiDi makes everything weird.

    Or my other favorite experience, ratting for money.

    1. Fly expensive ship into system.
    2. Target NPC ships in overview, blow them up while orbiting something.
    3. Get attacked by pirates which is either one guy multi-boxing 12 ewar frigates or gang of roving pirates nobody bothered to deal with.
    4. Lose expensive ship that nullifies somewhere between .5 and 2 hours of boring ratting.

    Stealth bombing was pretty fun, I'll admit. But everything else was a bunch of neat ideas saddled by the most profoundly boring implementations imaginable. It truly is spreadsheets in space, and not just for all the math, but because one of the most important UI elements for the longest time literally was a spreadsheet. And then they did this.

  • Save hundreds of lives and go on countless missions to strange new worlds, but you fuck one ghost...

  • It's not that they're for the kids, it's that each handful costs one child. Eggs are expensive.

  • Hogwash, we all know marriage issues are caused by imbalances in bodily humors. For example, here we see Rudy Giuliani with an excess of black bile.

  • Nothing has ever made more sense. Wander around a college science department during his heyday and they basically wallpapered the place in The Far Side.

  • I set out to create a cyber ninja and aside from being unable to source good clothing options, it works as designed. That is to say, on very hard I die if fuck up with more than 2 bad guys around, sandie or no, so that feels right. I think optical camo was over-nerfed, but meh.

    But if you combine the air dash, double jump, a katana, a throwing knife, and a few other things, it slaps. You feel very cool indeed when it all comes together.

    Hacking feels more dangerous now. The way the hacks work means that when you go hot and start directly damaging your opponents you can't just wait for everyone to die, esp early on. That said Netrunners are still gods, just gods that occasionally get someone to run at them yelling before they keel over at your feet. And you can still wipe 4 dudes out almost instantly from a long distance away.

    Have not tried other routes yet because I hate playing through the beginning.

  • Yeah, fuck all those many, MANY people who will suffer terribly! I'm upset about Bernie so let it all burn. /s

  • Just get a scale and weigh your flour. Much more consistent results. 120 grams per cup.
