  The true goal is to escape the solar system with exploration ships, so we’re all losers.

  I’ve met too many people who think the number they associate to a thing somehow makes them a better user of it.

  Tons of people take amazing photos with tons of thought and skill involved in composition and everything, with a phone camera or shitty digital from 2010.

  People who use the price of the equipment to justify expense instead of the quality of their work are usually bad at whatever it is they’re charging for.

  Identical twins, yes. You can have multiple eggs fertile at the same time. Two of my childhood friends were a boy and girl who were twins, obviously look quite different lol

  As I said, I get it first now since the fight is so much harder without it.

  Levitate also feeds my desire to C L I M B

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 762 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I can confirm you do not NEED the levitate ability

  I enjoy trying to get to places that game designers don’t want me to go, even if I’m supposed to come back to something later. I WILL try to climb on everything. It’s how I became the first person in my friend group to find all the collectible items in Destiny, and the first one to get to the top of that one mountain in the social space.

  I legit thought it was just part of the challenge to get to the anchor fight with just jumping and boosting. I had to stack some things with telekinesis but I made it!

  It was MUCH harder without levitate…

  Jokes on YOU, I already did my laundry… Two days ago… I’ll put it away at some point.

  Every time I start playing the game again I try to max out my settings… It never works lol.

  I straight up can’t use ray tracing in the intro walk up to the offices, I think because the lobby granite fucks with it so bad on my system for some reason

  Because Canada has famously been super accepting of POC,especially indigenous populations.

  Also yay more racism!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh, I’d rather they get their rhetoric from a king James version than some of the newer interpretations.

  There’s a lot of word changes between them that alter context to some things.

  They don’t actually read any edition, they just get soundbytes from some middle aged angry white man who hasn’t read the older editions either and really wants to push their “women are subservient, being gay is wrong, racial division is good actually,dont fight back against authority” narrative.

  It’s ocean mucus kidney stones. Proverbial gunk that builds up in the throat of a sea creature.

  Like diamonds, I do not understand human fascination beyond “ooh shiny”

  Continue out of spite. Knowing my existence pisses some people off brings me a small amount of joy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It certainly ain't.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially in Ohio…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What stratgies do you have for dealing with people who "live in your head rent free"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Miles Edward O’Brien lives rent free in my head. As he should in everyone’s. He’s the most important person in starfleet history.

  For more modern and corporal people, I just try to avoid things that make me think about a person, or minimize contact as much as possible. To varying degrees of success… Eventually they’ll fade.

  Unlike O’Brien.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it should be Ohio, or one of the states surrounding Mississippi (whom all say “thank God for Mississippi” when looking at their low stats)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Correlation == Causation?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I drove what should have been a 2 hour trip in 4 hours to see the 2017 one.

  I figured “let’s get some lunch, walk around some local parks, and maybe go walk around the local shops for a few hour before trying to go home” because I knew traffic would be bad. I even spent most of an afternoon plotting my course back home to avoid major roads and highways.

  Even after 5ish hours, traffic was terrible. Every highway we passed was stopped. People were flooding back roads, it was slow but moving faster than the highways.

  12 hours later, I pulled into my driveway and decided next time I ever travel for an eclipse, I’m bringing a tent and staying a few days.

  It took some friends if mine 14 hours to get home and they didn’t even leave their state.

  Never compare your everyday with someone else’s claimed high points.

  I was definitely happy while using my propane forge. Can confirm.

  I’ve needed a bridge guy twice in my life.

  Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that its happened twice.

  I downloaded a mod that adds in some tracked vehicles from the 80s, and while the mod needs a little work for spawns (random houses should not have apcs and tanks lol) I did manage to find a cargo apc at one of the military checkpoints, and have been loading it up with a ton of mechanics stuff and things to grow food. I still have a few days before the water and power start going out, but I’m hoping to find some generators while I’m out. I definitely need to start grabbing every container I can for gas and make my way to some of the gas stations.

  I modified the sandbox a bit for this run, because I’m tired of apocalypse games deciding that there’s no gas anywhere the day the apocalypse starts. Sorry but people don’t just leave cars in their garages with no gas in them. Nobody lets their car run out of gas intentionally. Gas stations aren’t constantly at risk of being completely empty. I used to live near a gas station in the middle of nowhere. The kind of place that Still had 80s style pumps in the 00s. I woke up every morning the gas truck drove by and had to shimmy to get the trailer in the right spot. They got filled every other week, sometimes longer.

  So I decided for this run, cars almost always have gas, with the occasional completely empty tank. Stations got set between “low” and whatever the one right below full is, with a 12% chance of the station being completely empty. (assuming I understand the spawning stuff for it anyway) I still have to siphon gas from multiple cars to fill one tank of gas completely, but it feels more realistic than “150 cars and only one even had an ounce of gas” that I seemed to be getting before.

  Also the number of cars seems very low, I don’t remember much of the 90s but I know people had tons of cars still…

  Regardless, it’s a great game whether you play vanilla or modded.

  I really enjoy the “6 months later” type. For those I like to role-play as someone who’s been stuck in one place for awhile and comes out to find the world is gone.

  Claymore roombas are too destructive against non-targets.

  Claymore rc cars are where it’s at. Transmitters motors and batteries are cheap or can even be scavenged to an extent.

  Drive that motherfucker up to the target and click

  Yeah the post was clearly a “lol teenage boys do crazy stuff sometimes”

  Which is fair, and correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you people read books?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure what you mean by “hard” books…

  I read pretty much anywhere I have time to, usually while laying in bed or out hammocking. I’d say my favorite spot is a nearby state park hammocking in one specific area that gets sun through the canopy but not so much it’s overbearing on a warm day. It’s just a great scene to occasionally pause and look around.

  It’s a lot easier to read in a cushioned chair if I’m reading a physical book, but I mostly read on my kobo as well, so I don’t have to worry about weight making my arms uncomfortable to hold a book in reclined positions.

  I have recieved more compliments girlmoding in the last 4 months than I ever did boymoding in the almost 20 years between highschool and beginning transition.

  To the random woman with dark red hair who said my hair looked good on me in 2008, I still remember the feeling.

  I couldn’t even tell you why the last person complimented me though. It doesn’t feel the same since I get them more often.

  Huh, TIL

  If it wasn’t stable before, could have fooled me!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 744 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t know I was playing an “unstable” version lmao

  It never crashed, and I don’t remember picking a version when downloading from steam

  Now I kind of want to download it again to see if there’s any big changes from when I played last
