Graduating and marriage at 21 is crazy
Normal graduation is around 21 to 23, assuming you went immediately from high school to college (at least in the states)
So that means they basically got married during college, which sounds crazy to me, and somehow can afford a house at less than a year’s worth of a normal job schedule, assuming they started right when they graduated.

Not true. Look at how they handled their anti-gambling lawsuit. They essentially did away with cases and keys, and now you can “open a terminal”. You aren’t gambling according to steam anymore, since you can decline the offer, but because this decline accept mechanic is baked into a dynamic pricing, you are now required to pay steam an average of 1700 usd for a pair of digital gloves, if you even get the offer.
They got rid of “gambling” for something much worse

Yea I’ve been thinking of making a small speaker setup so I can play white noise. It’s just annoying because it’s only the odd day where it gets unbearable

I’ve been running into this a lot more often lately. And the worst part about this is that my tinnitus that normally I can ignore starts screeching louder, so it keeps me up even more
It’s just a perpetual negative feedback loop

I wish I had the space and money to buy some of the bionicle sets I never got to have, like the bohrok, and the piraka
Unfortunately bionicle sets are ungodly expensive and I do not have space to hold them all lol

- Comment on New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes 1 month ago:
I remember back in the old days, 3p gambling sites used to have 0 verification. You could deposit skins, each with their own attached real life value, to gamble for other skins. That way those sites could make double the money by fixing the prices skin had, and by gambling mechanics, without even needing a credit card

So are you just gonna ignore all the other ways I’ve listed to tell a scammer?
Never said it was a one and dusted kinda thing if you had a clown award, just that it should immediately raise red flags if you have a relatively worth inventory and actively trading. MY experience is that all the randoms trying to add me that had the clown award displayed were in fact scammers.
This is in the context of trading once again, not steam forums or even general steam. Steam trading is functionally a different experience from general steam. No sane trader uses the forums to trade. Its all 3p sites. People adding you when you actively trade items are either people looking to trade or scammers. If you’re not trading in the mid to high tier range, none of what I’ve said applies to you. The clown award doesn’t mean anything then, because you’re not going to get 5+ daily friend requests
On a side note you should probably not use the forums, it’s been unmoderated for about 15 years.

I’ve had a mildly expensive inventory in the past while trading so I’ve seen a lot of scammers. The clown award was the fastest way to tell if someone was suspicious. Obviously you don’t just base it on that, other telltale signs are no mutuals, private inventory, faked hours on cs, turned off commenting on profile, account level, 3p trust sites, etc.
I’ve yet to see a single profile that was legit that had the clown award. People usually don’t give out awards, at least the profile ones. The average person buys profile decor.
This was back in 2024 ish though, I don’t trade anymore so I block non mutuals adding me

Does the clown award still exist on profiles? I used to get added by randoms everytime and they always had the clown award because that’s the easiest way for people to mark someone as a scammer

Hyperpop kinda feels like more of a vibe than a music style. The most defining trait being pitched up vocals but to me, is moreso about the energy (angst?) it brings
We have hyperpop that veers more towards rap youtu.be/BFF5pyVNd8w
And more standard hyperpop like ericdoa, glaive, and midwxst youtu.be/WCPJK9GCXHE youtu.be/LseJIsQ62WQ youtu.be/Jmz8CXm8JLY youtu.be/kCBKHdTwbXU
And derivatives from hyperpop like dariacore youtu.be/Lojx82Etjl0
And other artists that started in hyperpop but went on to do their own thing like my goat brakence youtu.be/cpGHMGOeg-o

I mean soda as glaze is not uncommon. Coca cola can be used as a glaze base for pork spare ribs in chinese cooking. It’s basically just a sweet dark glaze at that point
I’ve seen people use soda in seafood boil as well but no clue if that tastes good.
The rice was pretty bad though. Thats the you should probably just buy a rice cooker kinda rice

I might be biased but Asian style of lobster is amazing. My favorite is salted egg yolk lobster (I think also literally translated as golden sand or smth)
- Comment on Unquestionably high class 2 months ago:
In all fairness. I was in Boston (and in the seaport area) when I first tried it, so I’m sure it could’ve been cheaper. But this definitely isn’t a food that gets better the more you pay for it.
- Comment on Unquestionably high class 2 months ago:
I tried a lobster roll for the first time last year and I’m mostly disappointed. Every single place sold them for around 40 to 50 USD. It was just buttered lobster which is good but for the amount I got, it was definitely not worth, and honestly I’d rather have bread on the side than as a roll

The endangered status is specifically for wild ones, whose habitats were mostly destroyed.
There’s a lot in captivity though, which is the silver lining. There’s bound to be enough viable ones that the species won’t die off and can always be reintroduced.
