Not quite correct. The 2020 image should have a car completely covered in a dust of green pollen because city planners only planted male trees for decades because female trees would produce fruit or seed and be a “nuisance” and/or create trash/animal bait etc…
But if they only planted female trees, they would never get fertilized, so they wouldn’t produce fruit anyway… Or pollen.
Worst case scenario, they would produce fruit, and cities would still smell bad and have rodent problems. But without the allergies.

I have really annoying hearing. I’m not sure how to fully describe it but my ears are super tuned into sounds. Very often I will be sitting with my wife or somebody else and I am like “do you hear that?” and they are like “wtf are you talking about?” and I have to be like “Shhh… That! Did you hear it?” and they are like “no wtf” and then I’m like “Wait no no… Wait… That! Did you hear it?” and they are like “Wait yeah… How tf did you hear that while we were talking? Were you paying attention?” and I’m like “No, I wasn’t because I kept hearing this noise”…
Like… Sometimes people’s voices just sound like noises and I can’t hear them unless I focus because my ears are listening to the noises around me. It can be really frustrating.

It’s going to be relentlessly compared to OverWatch. It’s basically an OverWatch clone with Marvel characters.

There will always be a “step further we’d love to see but won’t”
I dunno, it could be really bad out there. We like to have really romanticized versions of space exploration in our brain. Like finding I habitable planets and other intelligent life. But what if that other intelligent life is super far advanced, and also capitalists. And they figured out how to inject advertisements into brains. And they want to share their technology with us.

Short sleeve graphic tee over a long sleeve white tee, Jnco jeans, a big ass wallet chain, and some wrap around the back Sony headphones for the diskman in my Jean pockets. I was preeeeety cool.
- Comment on Which Mortal Kombat games across the years should I start with? 2 months ago:
Probably “Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero”. Definitely the peak of Mortal Kombat as a whole, and defined everything we know about the series.
And for the love of Christ, /s if anybody didn’t pick up on it.
- Comment on acceptable screws 2 months ago:
I don’t do electrical work. I’m usually taking the outlet covers off for painting walls. And I like to paint with the lights on.
- Comment on acceptable screws 2 months ago:
Yup, I’ve noticed that spanner screws (the two dots) are usually found on elevator control panels. There is no reason that somebody should be able to open those up with a Swiss army knife.
- Comment on acceptable screws 2 months ago:
I hate slot screws because they are easy to slip out of, and the place that I find them the most is always outlet covers. Like… What the fuck? Why are you gonna put the most easy to slip out of screw next to the most dangerous to slip into hole?!

I read somewhere that Farenheight is the scale of how hot/cold people are, Celcius is the scale of how hot/cold water is, and Kelvin is the scale of how hot/cold particles are.

Can we talk about that scene in The Office where Michael proposes to Holly, and sets off the sprinklers and everybody just shrugs it off and it is never spoken about? It’s a paper company. Everything would be ruined.

Returns and Hong Kong were good, but Dragonfall rocked my tits right off. Had to have them surgically reattached.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 5 months ago:
ShadowRun: Dragonfall
Its an isometric tactics style game that plays like the tabletop RPG it is designed around. It’s a lot of reading, so if you’re not into that stay away, but man… I remember when I beat it I was like “Fuck… Did I fuck up? I think I may have made some wrong decisions. I feel awful now”

- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 5 months ago:
I’ve been playing the Mario RPG remake. I remember loving the game as the kid, but as I get to each part of the game I’m like “Damnit, I hate this level!”, and it happens over and over again and I’m like “wait, why do I like this game? I hate this game.”
With that said I’m still playing it because I’m almost done with it so I may as well finish it.
It’s easier than I remember, but I also played the original when I was like 10 years old, so maybe it used to be more difficult because I wasn’t as good at video games when I was 10.
I’m excited to finish it because I have an OLED Steam Deck on the way, and I’m trying to sort out what I’m going to play first. Any suggestions for controller friendly games that run well on the deck? I think Dave the Diver is near the top of that list. I’m not to keen on playing first person shooters with joysticks, that’s what my PC is for.

I actually reached out to my father to ask about this because the machanic was a buddy of his so I thought he might have some info. It was indeed a vac system issue.
I also live in a heavily salted area, so yeah. Rust did the body in before the engine went out. When you finally retire yours, make sure to pop the “Turbo Diesel” decal from the back of it. I still have mine sitting on a desk at my parents house. A nice memento of my many good years in that car.
- Comment on Who makes those terrible sheet cake things that every Chinese buffet has? 7 months ago:
Not sure but it’s probably the same stuff they used in my college cafeteria. Sometimes the yellow cake with chocolate frosting had these crumbles on the top. It dawned on us, that the crumbles were just the cake from yesterday ground up and sprinkled on top. We called it “Yestercake”

Hah. I drove an '85 300D Turbo diesel in the early 2000s. That thing was a fucking tank. I had to eventually get rid of it because the body was rusting apart. The engine still ran, and likely would have until the end of time. I extended the life a but by bolting metal rails under the seats to keep them from falling through the car into the road.
I miss that thing.
