Yes, I know it’s 42, but 42 what?

Prophecy some major upcoming events, subsequently market myself as a saint, grab a comfy church position, sell indulgences, profit. Works in pretty much any era.

If you’re looking to get to California, have your husband check out PG&E - they’re almost always actively hiring linemen at that rate - usually higher. You can make it here on $100k relatively comfortably if you’re smart with your $.
There’s still racism here, but it’s nowhere near what you see on the east coast - less institutional, at least in Northern California - this changes depending on how far inland you go. SoCal is considerably more tribal, and the LAPD has a bad history when it comes to race relations, but still not on the same level as WV.

The origin of the throwing glaive, which ended up influencing game designers for decades to come….
Pretty impressive for a weapon that would, in real life, sever all your fingers upon first use.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 2 weeks ago:
Progressive who’s been here for a bit. The fediverse has definitely swung more left-wing recently - when I first started up two years ago there was a fair amount of conservative bs, libertarian tech-bros and russian bots - it was about a 50/50 split depending on what instance you were on.
The bot problem seems to have been largely dealt with now, and conservative voices have been more or less drowned out by the new influx of users fleeing twitter and Reddit crackdowns. Many are agreeing that the current administration is bad for everyone. There are a number of hard auth-left moral purity testers that kind of a pain in the ass that pop up from time to time.

- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 3 weeks ago:
Fair point. I’ve played it on and off for years now, and I still have no fucking clue where the game wants me to go (although it’s a lot better now than it used to be). The storyline is… complex to say the least, and the game doesn’t do much to drive you an particular direction. Progression is also lateral, not vertical, so while you have a wide variety of options and directions to explore, they can be shallow and overwhelming at the same time.
On the plus side of that, every time I come back, it’s like a new game, but with the same combat / movement that got me addicted back when it was nothing but grind.
- Comment on What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man? 3 weeks ago:
Warframe has some of the best movement in a game ever. Not exactly an MMORPG, not exactly Open World, but definitely space ninjas on crack.
Also, it can be played completely free. There is a paid currency model (platinum), but it’s tradeable between players (so you can trade items and earn Platinum), and most non-cosmetic items are obtainable through gameplay.
It’s been around since 2014, but keeps evolving and manages outperform AAA titles on the regular. If you like high fantasy sci-fi cosmic horror madness on drugs that won’t be invented for another 100 centuries or so, give it a shot.

If she’s a Berkeley professor, and can pull a head slam like that at 70+ years old, I’d say odds are 80% hippie vs maybe 20% mid 70s punk. Tell me she wouldn’t look right at home at a Grateful Dead concert, or rockin out to the Clash for that matter.
Plus, everyone who’s been to college knows that hippies make the best professors.

Don’t fuck with old hippies. Half of them have already been on the frontline of protest action since the 60s, and the other half are Vietnam vets. They will kick your ass.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 4 weeks ago:
I have two multi-racial disabled family members I care for. Even if I could leave the country, they couldn’t - very few nations allow the disabled to immigrate.
I’m here till the fight is done.
