Same experience here.

While in elementary school, the DARE guy told us that drugs just make you dizzy, like when you spin in circles. He told us to just go run around and we'd feel the same. I thought that sounded awesome! All the good feelings of exercise without the exercise. Fuck yeah!

DARE turned little me into a proto druggie.

Don't forget that they need to work until dying!

Hope you're moving to the PNW. We need more good people here.

OMFG I haven't laughed this hard at an Internet comment in years.

I had the same experience! It HAD to have been astroturfing. The reviews were simply glowing but it's honestly one of the worst books I've ever read. It's not even so bad it's good, it's just page upon page of cringe cliche.

I became curious if you had been in Vegas when you mentioned billboards with lawyers. That's a Las Vegas peculiarity (although it may be a peculiarity elsewhere). Where I live in the States has no billboards and it's great.

Nintendo takedown in 3...2...1...

I also had a good Sea of Stars cry. Totally worth playing. It sounds like DLC for it will drop in 2025 too.

But what about when you run into pharmacist nutters who refuse to advise on or sell them because of their beliefs? It has happened before.

It's a hot button topic for some people. I'm for the biological variation explanation - some people seem to really notice a difference while others don't.

I think what the people who get really upset notice is that they dropped a few extra $100s on what's often largely a marketing gimmick.

It's noticeable, it's just not massive. My phone screen runs at 120hz but I don't notice a difference unless I'm scrolling rapidly. Gaming culture (driven by corporations) really overemphasizes its importance. Gamers as a group seem to be easily duped by impressive sounding numbers, just like the rest of the population.

Also keep in mind there likely isn't a lot of selective pressure on biological vision refresh rate, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a fair amount of variability in the ability to discern a difference amongst individuals.

Striking is like adopting a pet or having a kid - there's never a perfect time, which means it's ALWAYS the perfect time! Arrange a strike and adopt a puppy today!

Same, and I'm sorry. It was Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage for me. I remember realizing my father was an idiot at an earlier age than I might have otherwise because the arguments those two morons made were obviously so, so bad yet he just ate it all up.

I think NPR does a good job providing talk radio type material that isn't repellant to people with critical thinking skills.

Do you consider their offerings substantially different than talk radio?

If you're extra lucky, it'll still be running on the original included demo toner cartridge.

When an SUV with floodlight headlights is tailgating me, I ask the passenger to use the rearview mirror to reflect their light back into the eyes of the driver. When that fails, we flash them a few times with one of those stupid 5k lumen mega-flashlights. They always seem to back off.

DON'T U LOVE FREEDUM?!

But what about God fearing, white Christians Americans?! They have a conditional right to not have to deal with pesky "other cultures" and "thinking critically about issues".

Same, during a boss fight in Elden Ring. I died.
