  It was the opposite in SLC, fireworks were going off all over for a good 5-6 hours. I surmised everyone was just lighting off all the stock they had since tariffs and drones are going to make them more expensive and dangerous than they’re worth.

  Still got a pile of bottle rockets and Roman candles in the closet but lately I feel more like pointing them at masked white dudes than doing anything to celebrate America

  I’m having a similar experience with the PS5. Been playing since Gran Turismo on the PS1 and have it in the living room with multiple controllers. Thing is…like you said there’s no couch coop anymore, if 3 of us want to shoot zombies on the same map it just can’t but 2 player is there…with giant black bars on the sides to make it 4:3 on my 65” tv.

  We’ve spent more time playing Balatro than COD the last few weeks, smaller cheaper games are simply a better deal right now with the price tag and all the mtx

  My therapist is taking two weeks off for their own mental health, been hearing the same woes from everyone and it’s weighing

  Spend the money on more books for kids, so we have fewer regressives in the future

  The first one shows a criminal gang and you know they’re serious because they have a truck full of stolen dvd players…it’s a great product of its time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best selling toy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Love it, but I take issue with republican whale and democrat dolphin. Clearly the mice and dolphins have realized humanity isn’t gonna fix itself and are sending the orcas after prime targets

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devil May Cry isn't that great of a series⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would like more Onimusha please

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harris Yulin Gave 'Deep Space Nine' One of Its Greatest Performances⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Had their own fleet too. Garak would probably like it more if you called him a simple tailor with a wink than a soldier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people like Mario Kart?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t finish the race with an empty beer, better to chug first then shell everyone else on your way to victory.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The audacity⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  New game+, you start with your own funeral debt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And force you to train your replacement to remind you how disposable workers are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He's in the weather patterns⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gonna need more tiny ventilation fans

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You really have to reach back to remember how THIS worked in your car⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had an Acura with the disc changer in the trunk, I imagine the moving parts right behind the firewall would not fare well for long in heat. You’re right though, the move to burning MP3 CDs felt like you had almost infinite space for all your bands

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fully agree, no laugh track is a positive selling point for me. Happy Endings is a similar show set in Chicago and since they don’t rely on canned laughs the jokes and characters are actually written rather well, shame it didn’t get as much attention for more seasons

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll watch anything with Timothy Olyphant or Giancarlo Esposito in it, but I can see why you’d say that. The scooter race was laughable and enough with the same damn desert planet already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a TV series you've tried repeatedly to get into, but can't?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same with Friends, the laugh track is doing a lot of heavy lifting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am not a builder… but that does not seem right⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct, gypsum infused cardboard, usually screwed into 2x4 wood studs. It can support a significant amount of weight if it is distributed evenly which is why we have drywall anchors to add stability, but it will never be as solid as a bolt sunk into a stud, weather and other conditions render it into wet chalk and your tv will swan dive into the carpet at some point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck cars⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The BMW i series doesn’t ship with blinkers so if you have one don’t worry about it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discovers cigarettes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t be at all surprised if most of those AAF guys had a flask in the bomber jacket. Gets cold at altitude you know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discovers cigarettes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still a big reason a lot of joes start smoking. If you don’t have nicotine and alcohol issues going in, the Army is happy to issue you some.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weapons trafficking⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just be sure to fill it with gravel first

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Key is to throw yourself at the ground and miss⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is an art, or rather a knack to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Sets Course for Season 3 Premiere on Thursday, July 17⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Great Scott! I don’t know how I seemed to forget that, guess it’s been a while since I watched SNW since we’ve been waiting for a new season.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Sets Course for Season 3 Premiere on Thursday, July 17⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought so, suppose I’ll watch it again if there’s something missed.

  Hell yes, can’t wait! Doc really needs to get his kid out of that buffer, surely the pattern degrades over time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨quick health tip⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Adding some coarse salt to heavy cream and dropping in an immersion blender makes a whipped butter that goes well in the coffee and on toast

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i broke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s ok to look back at a painful event and have empathy for that younger person, then you can either stay there or accept any wisdom to be learned and write the next chapter but you can’t live in both places at once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i broke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A danger to fascists presumably, which I’d say is a good thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t know about the nail ridges-vitamin deficiency thing until my lady told me recently, makes sense. She got me a case of the ensure plus for extra calories to supplement through the day and it does help. Eat some veggies, get some sunlight, maybe go to a shelter and walk some dogs. Hopefully the physical elevates the mental, I’m in a similar spot and hope you get feeling better internet stranger 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the vitamin deficiency is more likely, I have similar issues. Lived in Phoenix for years and had a water bottle on hand all the time, it’s a part of the bigger picture but not the main driver I’d surmise.
