It’s more fun with real cards. Not as convenient, but if you pull out a deck and start playing in public, someone will stop to talk.

You can do the same with American windows–spend the cost of an entire house replacing your windows.

Older than 60, I can confirm.
Just when you think you’re getting a grip, everything shifts.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 4 days ago:
This site looks cool, but don’t spread it around too much, because if it gets popular, we all know what will happen.

- Comment on I'm gonna die on this hill or die trying 1 week ago:
I’ve used double hyphens for em dashes, because I’ve never bothered to figure out how to do it in Linux. I was a graphic designer for many years, and had a bunch of ASCII Alt codes memorized, but they don’t work in Linux, for whatever reason. I don’t really need them anymore, so I haven’t worried about it.
E: One way in Linux is Ctrl-U 2014: —

So… Why don’t I see double spaces after your periods? Test. For. Double. Spaces.
I still double space after a period, because fuck you, it is easier to read. But as a bonus, it helped me prove that something I wrote wasn’t AI. You literally cannot get an AI to add double spaces after a period. It will say “Yeah, OK, I can do that” and then spit out a paragraph without it. Give it a try, it’s pretty funny.

I’m assuming the letters at the bottom all “fell” from the tree, but I’m not going to confirm that.

Maybe you’ll get to see both… one right after the other.

Musk wants to install his neuralink thing in them so they can fly that way. No thumbs needed.

Ignorance is bliss… but, sometimes fatal.
Knowledge is power…
- Comment on It's official: EA is going private. 1 week ago:
Good riddance. I hope by “private” they mean we won’t hear from them again–they’re a very private company, they keep to themselves, and never say anything. That sort of private.
- Comment on Real easy 1 week ago:
This fails because the first one reads as “soldier” to most people, I’d say the vast majority of native English speakers would think “soldier”, not that he’s a Navy Seal. Especially because My first thought for a Navy Seal would be coming out of the ocean in a wet suit.
- Comment on Real easy 1 week ago:
Same, which lead me to think the second was some sort of solder pot. So, then I thought there was some word close to soldier and solder for the third picture of the paint/stain brush that I didn’t know.
I got the three ‘seals’ at the bottom, though.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 1 week ago:
I watched all of Discovery. It’s different, a bit too touchy-feely at times for me. But, the stories are interesting and wild.
OTH, I liked all of Picard, so maybe you shouldn’t take my view into account.

EA is still around?

I’ve never done that…
… very often.
- Comment on He knows his ABCs 2 weeks ago:
For how much the owners rave about these, I’m surprised they stopped making them. I’m further surprised it hasn’t come back as a hybrid. I’ll continue to be surprised if they never build another car under this badge again.
Seriously, Honda, WTF?
- Comment on Decided to dig a big hole 3 weeks ago:
Should’a put a tarp down for the dirt.
You could hide things in there, like gold, or fried chicken, or a copy of Windows 11, or face masks. These are just a few things you could hide in that hole, use your imagination.

Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta ray
In walked a jellyfish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale

I just played through Portal 2 a couple of weeks ago, for nostalgia’s sake.
“Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is, we’re postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is, we’ve got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men! Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line. You’ll know when the test starts.”
