  Well, you’re certainly entitled to your (wrong) opinion!

  Lol it’s not for everyone, especially if you started out with goldeneye. A lot of people I play with don’t have the same appreciation for it, and that’s okay.

  And yeah, it’s so cheesy, it makes people spontaneously develop lactose intolerance.

  But much like the movie Evolution, I don’t love it because it’s groundbreaking and iconic to its genre. It’s fun for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Religion choices⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  At least my parents church has the decency to give first time visitors a free 6oz cup of coffee.

  I decided a long time ago that if I ever walk in and don’t recognize anyone, and someone thinks I’m a visitor who didn’t grow up there, I’m going to start quoting Bible verses about how selling shit inside the church is wrong and I would be channeling the righteous anger of Jesus himself if I flipped all their tables and whipped them.

  Unfortunately despite the fact that I have been there twice in 10 years, people still recognize me.

  Look, if you didn’t want people watching you, then why run lines in a public place?

  And will you not also be center of attention during the performance said lines are for?

  I suppose a birthday is aa good a place as any to test your public speaking…

  And then you bolt awake, with adrenaline now surging, only to be staring at your wall and it’s 4am so you definitely won’t be feeling rested when your alarm goes off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kate Aronoff spent the week talking to UPS Teamsters from around the country about what it’s like to deliver hundreds of packages in a heatwave, in a country without workplace protections for heat⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I live on a property with multiple families and we just use one delivery box by the main driveway.

  Since this past week was in the 90s, I started leaving out a cooler with ice and bottled water/a few colors of gatorade and a couple snacks in a small basket next to it.

  So far, no driver has taken anything, even with a “PLEASE TAKE ONE!” sign on top.

  It’s too hot to work outside without all the water you can drink, electrolyte flavor packs, and bare minimum a giant-ass fan. And no, having no doors doesn’t count as having a fan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No criminal charges over British woman shot in US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who likes to break into things (legally, with permission, blah blah blah) I can assure you that no amount of locks will keep a determined individual from something, especially if they know the schedule of the people they’re concerned about and if they have an effectively unlimited time with the thing they’re breaking into.

  Locks will deter, not prevent, theft or unwanted handling. If there’s a way to access it, it is accessible to anyone with time and intent.

  I like picking locks and even if I don’t have the skill for a certain lock, I’ve opened them by accident just by trying over and over. I just needed time.

  A gun safe by itself is not enough.

  A locked door is not enough.

  I know someone who used to take the firing pins out of every firearm, which would then be in a locked box in a floor safe under his bed. Guns in a locked safe, with a locked closet and locked room door. That was when he had nieces and nephews that came over a few times a month. Once he had his kids, the guns went to storage at his dad’s house. His reasoning? He used to steal alcohol from his parents cabinet as a teen and they tried many many times to make it harder but he always managed to get to it. “I always found a way, so could my daughter”

  My own firearms have cable locks through the chambers, they’re locked in a keyed safe, and the safe is in a locked closet. The only copy of the safe key that isn’t either on me or my wife is in a hollowed out 2x4 that looks like it’s part of the ceiling in my attic just in case I ever lose my key but need into it.

  I don’t have kids so I’m not concerned with someone who has a lot of time on their hands, but never underestimate how determined someone can be when they’re told “you aren’t allowed in there”

  Unrelated

  which was in my person at all times.

  Sorry the phrasing just gave me a giggle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thing makes noise wallet goes empty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  140 (87mph).

  I’m sure there are cars where I wouldn’t feel a thing and all that, but mine would shake itself apart.

  120/75 is my limit, and honestly my truck shouldn’t be going over 90/55 because it loses the tiny bit of efficiency it has.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thing makes noise wallet goes empty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  New noises don’t bother me. The amount of things that can shake rattle and roll (it’s a mess but it’s all tools and things I need for work) means a new sound pops up every week.

  It’s the new slightly different vibration that sketches me out.

  Ever so slightly up/down vibration that you can barely feel when you get to 70? Congrats, next week when you drive to work you’ll hit a bump at 15 and the whole front bottom falls off. And now you have 3 other problems because drive shafts start flying all over and smashing into things when they break.

  No, I love vehicle ownership and definitely wouldn’t prefer to relax on high speed rail for 20 minutes with a rolling bag/tool box or literally any other form of mass transit…

  38 digits of pi can get the circumference of the visible universe to within a single hydrogen atom.

  10 digits gets the diameter of the earth to within an inch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 332 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll be honest, they fucked this game over hard in my opinion.

  It really does feel like they separated everyone into teams, and none of the teams spoke to each other once. They all just delivered their chunk of the game without connecting pieces together.

  Base building was a nightmare, and that’s the primary reason I downloaded it in the first place.

  Then I finished the main quest and spoilers ahead for anyone who cares

  The concept of “well now you’re out of the universe so let’s go to a new one right at the start of the game again but this time a few things might be slightly different” was fun until all my hard work figuring things out with the bases got erased by “and by the way literally everything except your experience and abilities has been reset and you can either choose continuing the ability tree and maybe solve some mysteries of who built everything or you can care about the current universe but you can’t do both”

  Kind of killed literally every desire I had to play the game. Especially when they patched the easily accessed chests that at least gave me a shortcut to some things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do you take him for a walk?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh completely 100% agreed, and neglect isn’t the only form of child abuse going on but CPS has visited them plenty of times and interviewed all the kids and neighbors (before we moved in) over custody battles with some adopted ones. (they’re all related, long story with too many identifying details but some parents died and all the children are cousins and siblings) so they at least aren’t doing anything that CPS cares about.

  But holy shit I have never wanted to curb stomp my sister in law a-la American History X more than when I went over one day and I could hear screaming halfway down the 1/4mi driveway, and when I walked in she was in the 6 year Olds face screaming at the top of her lungs about how she’s tired of telling the 6 year old to put her shoes away, four of the kids were slowly doing chores in the living room and kitchen with tears running down their faces, and I could hear the 13 year old sobbing upstairs. Their mother screamed so hard and long that she burst a blood vessel in her eye and detached the retina. As usual though the moment she saw me she stopped and pretended like she wasn’t doing anything.

  Since then I’ve had my phone on record in my pocket whenever I’m coming over unannounced just in case I can catch it. Bare minimum it will be something to show the courts when one of the kids becomes a serial killer.

  Their dad is no help, he’s an enabler and honestly a broken shell of a person when it comes to his wife.

  Grandparents are worse than parents.

  My wife watches them whenever she can, and takes them on surprise day trips to get away from their parents and some of the siblings when possible but holy shit they do not make it easy to take them anywhere.

  I don’t regret marrying my wife but I can honestly say my in-laws are insane and anyone could understand why I hate them.

  Uhhhhhhh what was the topic again? Sorry for the vent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do you take him for a walk?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In fairness, that’s why I feel like getting a leash.

  Plus the oldest is 13 and at least she’s responsible enough for us to look away for a few minutes and she will still be there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do you take him for a walk?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always felt weird about parents who have those backpack leashes for their kids, but now that I’ve been living next to my in-laws for a year, who have 8 children, I understand some of them.

  I refuse to take some their kids anywhere unless one of them is with my wife and I.

  One would absolutely go sprinting full speed away and hide from us just because he thinks it’s hilarious.

  Two would wander off because they saw something shiny and their brains are like an etch-a-sketches where every time a new thought enters, the old one has to get wiped away.

  One would do the exact opposite of anything we say just because he figures he can.

  And three others would absolutely just wander off, not because they want to but just because kids aren’t always the best at spatial awareness and simply get too far away. And would be terrified if they noticed their adults were nowhere in sight.
