All the others are just posing. Goofy is for life.

Isn't alex jones still avoiding paying his settlement, and simultaneously making money off of it? You may not hear of him as much, but his former listeners are still throwing money at him.

Yeah, that's the part that always gets downplayed in these 'homeowner revenge' stories. HOAs can really fuck you over. Sometimes they get bankrupted in a lawsuit, sometimes you lose your sanity and your home.

Skating's rad. Longboarding is sweet. Rollerblading is tiiiiight, yo.

Just get the protectors and you'll be fine. Elbows, knees, helmet, wrist guard, and (depending on your age, if you're older than 12 you'll want) ankle reinforcement. If you really want to go all out, hip, back, and tailbone pads are cheap and still not constricting. Are you going to look goofy? Sure. Is everybody else just as goofy? They're wearing clothes, aren't they? Of course they're goofy. Just make sure the helmet covers the parts of the head that are going to get hit, not just the top.

It sort of looks like the little guy is wearing a turtleneck over his mouth.

...wait, turtleneck? Oh god, look again, now it's wearing the shell of a koopa that's been cut in half!

Maybe, but doors scare me.

I love the little aside about the rust. Some journalists still have fun.

Replace the background with the Sierra logo and you'd complete the 80s-90s kid nostalgia.

It's okay, we're in this together. Though, my rig runs just about everything at medium graphics without issue. Elden ring ran on high settings without dropping my frames to a noticeable level.

Texas is not deep red. Texas politics is deep red, and is set that way by gerrymandering and toooons of voter suppression tactics. Texas is about as close to going blue as you can imagine. In 2020, the democrat governor candidate got 43.9% of the vote. That's pretty dang close for being "deep red."

I'd love an open world Icewind Dale. A really, really complicated, dense open world with true mountain exploring and ice plain pain. Or, shoot, let's have an occult mystery in the city of Brass (Bronze? It's been too long, don't judge me).

Lol, mostly because I'm playing with the numbers. Kids only have 20 teeth until they're in double digits. But I was also working with a population that typically had 3-10 teeth missing, so my perspective is skewed ;)

I once found a donkey. It was as desperate for attention as I was to not be working at the moment. Things worked out.

finding out what doesn’t work is nearly as valuable as finding what does

Sometimes, sure. Most of the time, though, it's more akin to: "Worked on isolated cells in vitro, but doesn't approach target cells in vivo due to ECM."

It definitely wouldn't. There have been several recent 'proofs' of the level of scrutiny we face where serial killers are getting caught before they ever get to the famous numbers in the 'serial' part. That one fella recently, as an example, where the police released video of a man with a limp walking near a crime scene, and they caught him at victim #3. In the 90s, it likely would have taken dozens of victims before we caught a lucky video like that.

I think my visit seeking prophylactics when I was exposed to HIV (and the doctor just said, "nah, don't worry about it, I'm not prescribing you") was $1500 for the doctor, $1500 to the hospital... God damn that was a shock.

It might be true that the ones you meet online are very vocal, but there are a lot of people in person who will sing his praises, put flags on their car, their house, and everything else they can reach. They'll deride any 'liberal' and come up with every straw man they can to lampoon for the amusement of the circle around them. I see them when I visit family, when I converse with people at the local park, and even in casual conversations in the workplace. They are everywhere, and it's crazy how comfortable they feel with being open about their vitriol.

You're still above average! ;)

Huh. Is the only reason he didn't post his own bond because he wanted it to earn interest in the interim? Fucking millionaires and their money games.

Remove the historic paintings during renovation, at least. Surely it would be possible to rig up some sort of sprinkler system as well. Firefighter access to the roof may be difficult once the fire is blazing, but maybe some mitigation systems could be installed before the blowtorches and welders come out.
