  • All of this faff, expense, and heartache and you'd still have something less effective, less green, less yours, and more expensive than an actual horse.

  • I don't see how one follows the other. Maybe you should make a diagram for me while I go fix a drink.

  • You're going to have to connect the dots for me, I'm kind of stupid. Why would I do that?

  • It takes scarce vision to see that we are now striding through the pages of history, a time when nary a kind word will be written of those who said "not me", or "business as usual". In the quieter years of our twilight, children will hear of the troubles we faced and plaintively ask "why didn't anyone do anything?" And the only ones among that crowd of elders who can stand tall will be the few, indeed, who had gumption.

  • And seed the hell out of it! 🦜

  • I've had similar thoughts. Feels like money is a bit like gravity, at some point it's completely out of control and distorts the normal rules.

  • For me, dead is dead. My book of grudges is not written in pencil. I even give side eye to Volkswagens.

    Yes I am currently without a car, how did you guess?

  • I don't think it's impossible to fix campaign finance - elected officials don't want to have to constantly be chasing payola in the campaign finance arms race. It's just hard to change a paradigm from the inside.

  • I call hospitals pretty often in my line of work. They've gotten worse over the last couple of years. And every time you reach a human, you're lucky if you reach anyone who doesn't just transfer you on without fully understanding what you're after.

  • I would eat anything for love

    But I won't eat that

  • Yeah, like that :)

  • Say what you will about the bloodstained vision of senseless carnage and hopeless grief portrayed therein, but at least most wastelanders worked near home.

  • I don't know if mine counts as a big library, I'm fairly patient and choosy with my games but it's ended up being a couple dozen over the years. I prefer to appreciate games as art but I also do it to bond with my kid. Trying to get him more into emulators and retro stuff.
