It was different in the old days. Midnight release parties at the game store, rush home, put in the game, immediately start playing.
Nowadays they can’t even ship a functional game day one half the damn time.
And that’s assuming it even “ships”, in a physical sense.

When people say “painkillers” they immediately think oxy…but OTC analgesics (i.e. Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetamol) and NSAIDs can do quite a bit.
I just had spine surgery (laminectomy + microdisectomy) a couple of weeks ago.
Tbh I didn’t even think I had thrown my back out. At first I thought it was my sciatica, similar type of pain, mainly around my piriformis…but then it was more in my glutes and outer-thighs, and it was bi-lateral…and then my ass, taint, balls, and dick all went numb.
I didn’t really have a whole lot of back pain. That which I had, I attributed to muscle-pain/compensation as a result of walking weirdly due to the leg pain (really should’ve been using my cane but I’m too damn proud for that).
That’s when I called my ortho, and 5 days of phone-tag between him and his office-staff later, he finally called me back directly and told me to go directly to the ER.
Next morning I was cut open.
I was told the numbness was due to nerve compression.
Anyways a few days post-op I realized the oxy’s they gave me weren’t doing anything for the pain anymore, because the pain now was mostly from inflammation around the incision.
But even before that, gabapentin (nerve drug), tylenol, and meloxicam (daily NSAID), did a hell of a lot. I wouldn’t consider them pain meds…in fact, I think the biggest thing is the anti-inflammatory.
Still can’t feel my dick. It’s like I’m holding someone else’s while I pee. I’m holding a dick, but I don’t feel my dick being held. It’s real weird.

Motherfucker I just had emergency spine surgery a couple weeks ago.
My pain is a lot better now but I do need to take another Tylenol in a couple hours.

I mean the beauty of SaaS is that all the IT guys can throw their hands in the air and say it’s not their problem.
Unless you work for MS, of course.

You put coke bottle glasses on him tho, and you got Jermaine Clement.
My wife was convinced it was him. I’m face-blind and went along with it.

For real was just talking to my wife about this phenomenon, watching the OG “It” (the Tim Curry one).
First off…holy shit, 12-year-old Richie Hozier was played by Seth Green. That means he was 12 in the late 80s, meaning he’s in his 50s now n
I think that makes Seth Green a fair comparison here since he’s one of the few childhood actors of the era still both alive and active.
50-something real-life Seth Green looks younger han 40-something whoever the hell played Richie in the original. Hell Jermaine Clement was nearing 50 for the remake and I would’ve never guessed.

It’s also possibly a combination of remarkable OPSEC (for the era), mixed with “no such thing as portable devices” and “password managers haven’t been invented yet”.
- Comment on Well would you look at that... 1 week ago:
Right and wrong are just words. What matters is what you do.
(I just watched that episode of Futurama where Bender was God and it’s a perfectly fitting analogy here, I think).
Firstly, your proposal requires a perfect and noble system. There’s two major problems right there…one in developing a perfect system, and the other in defining what “noble” actually means.
What’s good for one may be bad for another. In often cases it is, especially under a capitalist system where we are made to compete directly with each other.
An example…my box of Kellog’s Raisin Bran says, on the back, “Cereal makes eating well easy”. I misread it at first and thought it said “cereal makers eating well”, and pondered about that for a moment.
As a consumer, we don’t want cereal makers eating well. I mean, we say we do, but our actions prove otherwise. Consumers are disincentivised from the cereal makers (as in the grain farmers) eating well, because that means a more expensive product, which is money out of their pockets, which now means they are eating less well than they would have. We are subconsciously at war with our peers.
- Comment on makes me feel alright 1 week ago:
That’s not necessarily munchies…I did that once before I ever smoked, with a 1lb bag of almonds up all night cramming for finals in HS.
Really I didn’t intend to stay up all night studying…I spent most of the night trying to pass almond paste through my sphincter. And then sitting uncomfortably and tired through all the tests the next day.
I think that’s an anecdote more related to Binge Eating Disorder, which is often linked to ADHD.

I saw a jeep with plate

The trick is to get healthy munchies.

Tbf, “porn” isn’t really the appropriate word to begin with. Porn implies that all parties were consenting and consentable. CSAM is a much more fitting term.

I had sciatica that seems to be progressing into cauda equina…basically now my buttocks, perineum, inner thigh, cock, asshole, and balls are all numb.
So yeah, I am checking to make sure it’s still there.
And also farts feel fucking weird.
