I was laughing with a friend about the downvotes earlier today.

Also, I fully agree regarding DeSantis. It just really feels like a pot calling the kettle black to hear Newsom referring to someone else as authoritarian.

I learned Vim something around 25 years ago. I love Vim, but if I have VSCode available, I'm gonna use it (with Vim emulation, of course).

Wait, the man who had surfers arrested during COVID called someone else fundamentally authoritarian?

What a joke.

Have a source for that assertion?

Misanthropes do not like people.

My problem right now is I created my character and am very happy with them in character creator, but when I look at him in game I'm unhappy. I've even paid to tweak him a bit and it's better but I'm still not happy.

100% agreed! It's worthless I've spent some time trying to protect myself to the map and it's nigh -unto impossible.

Stunning oversight, and I have no idea how the play-testers didn't say "nope! Do something different!"

She and I don't often agree, but I'm 100% in agreement here.

Cop: why are you nervous?

Me: I'm always nervous around people who can kill me with impunity and get a paid vacation for doing so.

Easy! because it just actually occurred. I'm a misanthrope, but even misanthropes need friends.

When I was five or six, I met a guy in 1st grade Sunday School and we have been friends ever since.

A couple of weeks ago, I celebrated my 60th birthday, my wife took me to the Kentucky Derby Museum to start my birthday off with a tour of Churchill Downs. As I was perusing the gift store prior to our tour, I heard a voice behind me "what are you doing here!" I turned around to see my friend of 55 years. He and his wife had flown in to celebrate with me.

An extraordinary gift.

So grateful they put spoiler tags on the release notes! That's awesome!

Prior to her posting at Fort Knox, my wife was stationed in Queens, NY. We spent 3.5 long years living in Long Island. We now live in a town of about 3K people, and it's lovely and rural and I live it.

Don't make the mistake of making this your first audio book, it will ruin all other audio books for you.

I'm a free speech absolutist.

This is very cool

Sorry, gonna have to disagree. I have no right to tell others how to live, whether directly or indirectly. Voting for individuals is indirect, voting for ballot measures is direct.

I have no right to tell you if you can own a gun or not.

I have no right to tell you if you can or cannot have an abortion.

I have no right to tell you if you can or cannot ingest a substance that alters your reality.

I have no right to tell you if you can or can't smoke in public.

I have no right to tell you if you can or can't buy alcoholic beverages before 1300 on Sunday.

I have no right to tell you if you can or can't use paper or plastic bags at the grocery.

I have no right to tell you if you can or can't sell drinks with paper or plastic straws.

That list can go on and on.

There are some who may believe "it's all we've got so I'm going to participate." I am not one of those people.

As to the hyper-indivualistic, I understand why you might say that. It's not entirely true. I do believe that the individual is the smallest minority, but I also fully believe in voluntary community.

Well then apparently I'm old and ignorant.

Surprisingly, I haven't died early. I just celebrated six decades of life last week. I guess if I pass in the next couple of years that might still be considered early.

I think you'd be surprised at the number of people who's lives i have enriched over those years. I certainly am.

I didn't see myself offering an opinion on who gets elected.

So I should engage in an immoral act because other people might do something wrong?

I have no right to tell anyone how to live their lives, and that is what I attempt to do any time I cast a ballot.
