All my family members in my house have chronic illnesses, so any given day I may be taking them to scheduled appointments, the ER, or massaging my wife’s legs as she has severe neuropathy that causes her intense pain but my massage helps temporarily alleviate it. I’m also the sole working person in the family and the only one who can drive(until next month when my youngest gets his license!) most days I don’t get to pick my schedule, I might have all of 1 hour not consumed by the needs of the family on any given day and I must always be ready for my plans to be destroyed by an emergent event. I wish I could ask the question you pose.

Yeah definitely an old ass series with exception of DNF, which honestly should’ve probably been buried alongside ET in the desert. I remember being hyped for DNF for the first 5 years of development, before I just completely gave up on it coming out.

Yeah nobody wants to be a duke nukem forever, not even duke.
- Comment on What belongs to who when it comes to wealthy families? 1 week ago:
I’m financially stable and any gifts or material goods I bought specifically for them are their property, now they could sometimes lose the right to use the item as punishment, but I find the practice of faux ownership and parental mandate disgusting. I imagine those even more well off would probably forget they even bought the thing for their kid, as the kid probably gets a solid allowance anyway.

Missed it by a mile!
- Comment on How does James Bond run and fight in suits? 1 month ago:
Exactly I had a habit back in the day of walking around in a pretty nice suit and I would easily jump into a hackysack circle, baffling some, but a loose cut suit makes maneuvering easy

It’s also more sweetened whereas mayo is more fat. I grew up on miracle whip but my adult palate would prefer mayo

The 1800s would refute the first claim, Hughes for the second, and wasn’t starship supposed to already have landed on the moon by now? His vision is knowing a sucker when he sees one.
- Comment on digital subscriber line foolishness 2 months ago:
I’m on fiber and my provider being a dusty DSL provider decided to use PPPoE over fiber. I got migrated to their sibling company which supposedly doesn’t need that nonsense, but they haven’t removed the requirement yet and I might need an entirely different NID for it. It’s all horribly annoying

I suppose the ecosystem enjoyer could just cut the part of the peel that is affected a rubbish only the affected portion. Still sucks though

Unfortunately the graph misses one food type, what is a cobbler?
- Comment on What is lunch like in exclusive private schools for rich kids? 7 months ago:
Wha I find crazy is that my best food I ever had in school was in junior high in Oklahoma we had a salad line, a main line, Taco Bell express, slushies, candies and pastries and on thursdays we had delivered pizzas, and I think the nachoes were every day as well. Never seen a school have so much choice ever since.

Everything has been a downward slide our entire lives which means it also rolls downhill for all the future generations too until someone can yank back on the economic flightstick and get us out of this dive.

- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 1 year ago:
Kind of a niche answer, honestly me and my wife of 20+ years might still be “living in sin” if it wasn’t for her decision to join the military, in order for me to move with her to her home base, we had to be married. It allowed me to visit Alaska which was a great adventure, though I am glad that she is out and we are living normal lives since.
- Comment on Saint Luigi 1 year ago:
Really shows me how traumatized I am by United Health Care when I see UHC and it immediately brings them to mind and not Universal. I had to put in some work to understand that Acronym
- Comment on Saint Luigi 1 year ago:
Yeah we need to deflate the disproportionately high pricing of the health care caused by insurance as well, if we could get it at the national level we could eliminate a lot of the back office overhead, and then maybe negotiate a revisit of the master charge list so that Tylenol in hospital isn’t something crazy like $250 dollars a dose. State by state this would probably be much more difficult.
- Comment on Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds 2 years ago:
I have a friend who has been moderately successful in the game creation space and he is saying he wants to just give up at this point because of this change.
