Nah I had good friends with me.
- Comment on [deleted] 20 hours ago:
My cousin was raised super religious and sent to religious schools that barely taught anything. When she graduated high school and went to a real college she flamed out hard.
She couldn’t keep her grades up because she hadn’t been educated well. Flunked out and moved in with a tattoo artist living in a trailer. Got pregnant a year later and decided to keep it.
Ended up working at a call center to support the baby and her husband who was over 20 years older. He ended up dying in his 50s so she moved back in with the parents.

Kings Quest? I played them on pc. They had stuff you needed the manual for but that was it. Did they change it for Nintendo?

Yeah people not dating their partners partners is much more common than everybody dating everybody.

I’ve seen some bad poly breakups. Once where the three all had a falling out. They jointly ownend the house they lived in together. Three were a few months where they all would just stay in their room as much as possible.
One of them finally managed to get a loan to buy my friend out of her share. Now she refuses to be dependent on a partner for housing.

Yeah my fluid bonded girlfriend had a condom break with her other boyfriend. So she just told me and we switched to condoms until she could get retested. No big deal.
If we hadn’t been poly it would either have been a I cheated on you conversation or worse she exposed my to possible STD without my consent.
- Comment on sus 4 days ago:
Yeah. My polycule is small but my friend is in a big multinational one. They have a google doc spreadsheet with STD results and sexual relationship tracking (fluid bonded, barriers, etc).
- Comment on What's an example of a TV show that came out at before its time, or just at a bad time? 1 week ago:
IIRC It was Doctor Who using the set that started the fire.
- Comment on Neutronium would like a word. 2 weeks ago:
That and the neutrons would rapidly undergo beta decay producing a LOT of free energy and other particles.

Gimp doesn’t have UI standards. That’s part of the problem.
- Comment on What's the worst example of a TV series or character within that series being flanderised as the seasons went on? 3 weeks ago:
In a similar vein Neolution / Dyad in Orphan Black. It started as a shady transhumanist group willing to break legal and ethical boundaries to control human evolution.
The clones seemed like just one of their experiments and not a major one. But because the clones are the focus of the show they become the core mission of Dyad.

There’s no one like you in my ass.
- Comment on What’s your favorite “flop” of all time? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t have a favorite but a few I liked a lot.
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension: great fun crazy cast.
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant. Such a strange world. I would have loved to see sequels.
Pandorum: Clever scifi horror. Unique situation and setting.
Rustlers Rhapsody: The main character is a genre savvy singing cowboy from 1940s westerns transported to a 1980s western. The bad guys have to team up with some spaghetti western villains.

I remember mixing lobster with almost everything. Armor, healing, claws, amphibious. It had everything.
- Comment on What TV show were you highly excited for, but ended up quickly disappointing you? 4 weeks ago:
When they they first introduced the stones I thought neet callback and good way to keep them from being completely isolated. By the third time they pulled them out I was thinking not this shit again.
- Comment on What TV show were you highly excited for, but ended up quickly disappointing you? 4 weeks ago:
While watching season 1 as it was airing a friend bright up the two time periods theory and that the the Man in Black and William are the same.
I said I didn’t think it was true because It would remove the narrative anchor they had built the show around. There wouldn’t be any thing to keep audiences emotionally invested in the plots that are going on.
It turns out we were both right.

Oda the writer of the comic had a lot of control and forced them to make changes and do reshoots.
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I spent a week in south east France. Best trip I have ever been on. People were so nice. Paris was the only unfriendly place and It wasn’t bad.
- Comment on What are some of the worst actor miscasts in TV? 5 weeks ago:
Kinnaman nailed the roll. season 2 had so many problems that I don’t think it’s fair to put the blame on Mackie.
I think it’s more a problem with the new showrunner being bad at their job. The show in season 2 didn’t know what tone to go for or how to structure scene.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 1 month ago:
And I’m from the other end where I came from Morrowind and couldn’t get into Oblivion because it was so generic compared to the earlier game. Monsters leveling to the character made it so safe.
I remember when the monster that was spawning everywhere changed type I knew I had leveled up.

Ah yes. Land Skyranger, open door, sectoid throws grenade into Skyranger. Evac with one survivor. Good times.

There is a lot of truth to this old commercial. m.youtube.com/watch?v=y5DpaCvoCn0

I cut my teeth on Space Quest 1 and Kings Quest 3. Not only was the very spefic vocabulary a pain but so many solutions were a dead end trap.
I remember in Space Quest if you typed use [item] it would give you a message about not being a simple 2 word game and tell you to say use [item] on [thing]. It required that format.
Then halfway through the game the solution to one puzzle is use glass. Not use glass on laser. I has figured out the puzzle right away but it took me days to get the right wording.
Those games have not aged well.
- Comment on What TV cancellation are you most upset by? 1 month ago:
I enjoyed the space adventure parts but every time they broke out the stones I lost interest.
- Comment on What TV cancellation are you most upset by? 1 month ago:
I also liked the show. However your comment about " [it] was really starting to go somewhere by the end of the season" is a good example of why it didn’t get another season.
- Comment on What would happen if the Supreme Court sent a US Marshall to arrest a member of the executive branch? 1 month ago:
Fyi the us marshals are the enforcement arm of the Federal judiciary. There is one marshall and one cheif deputy marshall per us district court.
The marshals are the group that would most likely do the arrest in this hypothetical situation. For example the FBI is mostly investigation and usually when they get enough information for an arrest they pass it off to the marshals if it’s a federal crime.

blade runner 2049. It’s a crap story with crap acting and direction. The visuals are just bad. I have no idea why it’s so liked.
