Although I never saw the packaging. All games I had for the C64 I got at school.

I didn't know what "gooner" means, so I tried to look it up. I found multiple uses of this term:

1. Being obsessively online, consuming content that sexually excites you
2. Masturbating for hours
3. Being a fan of soccer/football club Arsenal

And now I still don't know what is being said in the screenshot.

Yes, but very rarely. Most stories just don't affect me that way.

I once knew a woman who used cut up punch cards as spacers when rolling joints.

~5 inches thick means the circumference, I assume? Because a ~12cm diameter sounds rather uncomfortable.

You can critique something that is needlessly bad. Like, take ten steps and take a clear picture without that damn car and building.

That photo is so bad. What is it supposed to highlight? There are three objects shown and none seems to be the focus of the picture. It's also not a composition that makes much sense. I'm not even a photographer, never learned much about that either. Man, this really annoys me way more than it should. But it's just so bad.

Wing Commander

I remember the audio commentary on The Core, where the director acted like the movie was very serious. I loved that.

Uhm, but Hackers is not shitty.

Is he? He always gave me kind of icky/dickish vibes, so I wouldn't be surprised at all.

OK, yes. The issue is only that I've never seen it used in an OK situation. Probably because I drive in the most suitable right lane, unless overtaking. I only ever see it being used while overtaking, which should be visible for the person speeding. And that is not a situation where it's fine to signal your intent for overtaking. When there's an Elefantenrennen that forces others into the left lane, you can signal all you want. There are simply too many cars to drive fast. I don't know how often I've been bullied out of the left lane, fearing for my safety, only to merge right back right behind the asshole who's now stuck behind the car that was right in front of me. I'll never understand that mindset.

Contrary to OP I hate driving on German highways because of the amount of aggressive assholes. I always found driving in the Netherlands much more relaxing.

More often than not, people move to the right once they are done overtaking someone else. It's just that these maneuvers take longer than the assholes who flash their high beams or who tailgate can handle. And those are the situations where the traffic situation simple doesn't allow for their speeding.

The fuck kinda driving school did you go to? Both flashing your high beams and using the horn is simply not allowed and counts as "Nötigung". If someone is in the left lane while not actively overtaking, should move to the right, no discussion there. But when I encounter aggressive assholes, the kind who uses high beams, it's always when there's too much traffic to race across Germany.

There are no "polite flashes". If you have to bully other cars out of the left lane, you're driving faster than traffic allows.

Well, everybody in the manosphere is a toxic idiot/asshole, no matter what particular brand of stupidity they follow. It does feel very similar to religion, though. Some sects might be more violent, but they all follow some made-up shit.

A pinched nerve is a real diagnosis, in that you generally know what happened. But unless there are other red flag symptoms you don't look for the actual cause, because it's really difficult and it only takes two to three days to recover. Usually a symbol of underdeveloped muscles in your back.

Yeah, but change it how? Maybe it'll run away with your partner.

I once twisted a nerve in my shoulder by sitting down wrong in the bus.

Woah, you're an optimist.
