Every kid who owned this set tried to take it into the bathtub and realized immediately that it did not float 😅

Wow, I owned that exact set as a kid.
Stings a bit knowing I could have sold it for a down payment on a house 30 years later.

- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 1 week ago:
I think it’s fine if people believe in ghosts and spiritual stuff. My wife believes in ghosts, genuinely and fervently. I don’t really care to battle her on this because regardless of what she believes and what I believe we ultimately end up doing the same thing in the end - nothing. I think it’s a bit childish, but it’s no more or less unreasonable than faith in a god or a higher power and people will fight you over that.
I think the delineating factor is how much belief in ghosts or the supernatural play into your decision making and your worldview.
If a person believes ghosts are real, but never really act on that belief, it’s harmless.
if a person believes ghosts are real and alter their behavior in meaningful ways as a result, it’s maladaptive.
For example, say you hear a creaking noise in the middle of the night that startles you awake. Person A, Person B and Person C each check to ensure there’s no intruder in the house and determine that all the doors and windows are still locked and there are no signs of forced entry.
Person A comes to the conclusion that it was just the sound of the wood joists expanding or contracting as the temperature fluctuates and goes back to bed.
Person B comes to the conclusion that the sound could have only been produced by a ghost and therefore their house must be haunted, and so they call an emergency priest to come exorcise the house with holy water and they stay up all night clutching charms and wards to fend off spirits.
Person C comes to the conclusion that the sound could have only been produced by a ghost, says a quick (10 second) prayer for protection/guidance for the lost spirit and then goes back to sleep.
You can see how Person A and Person C have conflicting views about the origin of the sound, one which relates to scientific explanations for real phenomena and the other that delves into spirituality and faith to explain it. Regardless, they are both able to resume their normal behaviors (sleeping) afterward, while Person B shares the same view of the origin of the sound as person C, but their view is extremely disruptive and illogical. Their belief in ghosts requires them to take extreme measures to feel protected against them, but there is no evidence that anything bad would have happened as a result if they had chosen to do nothing instead. Nor would there have been a guarantee that something bad would not have happened anyway if they did all of the “proper” things to remain safe from ghosts.

It helps if you are an extremely, laughably bad fit at your job, in like a “Fox assigned to guard henhouse” sort of way.

- Comment on How come in movies tv shows books etc at court they make it seem like swearing on the bible prevents you from lieing? If my family or I was in danger I would lie my ass off to get out of it.. 3 weeks ago:
It obviously doesn’t, and people do lie in court all the time in both fiction and reality. The bible, or whatever they happen to use as a stand-in, is just ceremonial for the oath of sworn testimony. The real threat that keeps people from lying is not hellfire and damnation, it’s perjury.
- Comment on How long and how hard would it be to get a star removed on The Hollywood Walk of Fame? Asking for a friend. 3 weeks ago:
As evidenced by the dozens of times Trump’s star was vandalized, no matter how you deface or destroy it, they’ll just replace it with a new one.
I don’t think there’s any way to get it removed officially other than petitioning the people who manage the walk of fame, and they are all in the same club that the folks who have stars on the sidewalk are in.
- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 3 weeks ago:
It does get tiresome going to steam threads and seeing the same copy pasted “don’t ruin the game with woke shit” post up voted to the top.
There’s a pencil thin line between farming clown emoji and overt bigotry getting pumped to the top of the reviews section by bad faith actors.

So the narrative the other day was drug cartels were swarming the airport with drones and that’s why they had to shut it down.
Was that a total fabrication to cover for this obvious false positive?
Also answers my question for “How come nobody has drone bombed you-know-who yet?”

Most placed with conversation pits that I’ve seen in person did have a false floor panel to cover it when there was no company over. Turned it back into regular floor space.

- Comment on Im curious what they will come up with 4 weeks ago:
I’ve never understood their disdain for liberals. They don’t like them because… they’re easy to goof on? Because some people, both liberals and conservatives, have no concept of nuance?
There are absolutely some episodes of South Park where I fundamentally, vehemently disagree with the political statement it’s trying to make. I don’t know if that is their unique brand of politics seeping into the episode’s discourse, but I can hardly expect them to hit the bullseye every time and I’m still able to appreciate the show in general.

- Comment on ICE agents attempt to arrest US Citizen in St Peter, Minnesota 5 weeks ago:
According to the bootlicking chodes I’ve argued with recently, just existing anywhere near ICE performing their kidnapping operations is obstruction.
Apparently getting shot in the back 10 times is excusable if you were somehow preventing ICE from disappearing people by standing on a public sidewalk. It’s total psychopath abuser mentality.

Begging your pardon for that, sorry.
- Comment on How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election? 1 month ago:
Well, 2026 is easy because neither of them will be on that ballot. That’s why midterms are tough for incumbents, because there’s less motivation for their party to turn out, but the aggrieved opposition are highly motivated to turn out as a referendum on the current administration.
2028, who knows man. Anything can happen between now and then. I feel like if someone voted for Trump in 2020 or 2024 then they are terminally stupid.

I tried doing Ironman a while back. Not even on classic, just on whatever the latest patch was. It was only getting easier with time and I wanted my name on that leaderboard. In my mind, it didn’t seem like it would be that difficult as long as I played carefully.
I gave up after level 20. I didn’t die, but I had a few close calls and figured it wasn’t going to be worth it to grind out 90+ more levels using the worst gear in the game and no healing or stat boosting items.
