I'm closer to 40 than 35, and my wife recently gave up ever replacing "college blanket", which was actually bought for me in early high school after I asked if I could take my grandparents comforter home with me. They found one and got it for me that Christmas (I think it was Ross/home goods), it was probably the most generic comforter ever, I always thought I'd be able to find another when needed. After 2 cats, a dog and the better part of 2 decades, my wife decided it was time to let it go and get a replacement, no problem, it's the most generic comforter ever. She gets me a nice duvet, so we can keep the inside nice and replace the outside as needed, nope definitely not the same. She gets a comforter, it's stitched way too tightly, and doesn't breathe the same (okay maybe a 20 year old blanket has gained a bit of aeration, maybe it breathes better than it did when it was new, but you can definitely tell the padding is stitched much more tightly than college blanket's ever was), she got me a "cooling" comforter, it's decent, but paired best with college blanket, and when I only have 1 blanket 9 times out of 10 it's college blanket.

Now college blanket has had 5 cats and 3 dogs and the majority of my life, it's been the bed of desire for multiple animals, myself included, and my wife sometimes asks for it when she's sick. Apparently it's really scratchy, and holey, and it's closely missing about 20% of it's original fluff, and I would put it away in a place of honor in a heartbeat if I could find a new one. I swear it was 40 dollars at a home goods store, in a pile with a hundred others just like it, but we've looked for the better part of a decade now, and it's been deemed irreplaceable. It would probably be the first material thing I went for if we had to evacuate. I'm not highly sentimental, but you don't let a good blanket go.

Nope, you didn't get to deny Congress people entrance to federal buildings for any reason.

You know what happens when you do that? Lawsuits, but you know what happens when lawsuits won't solve the problems immediately at hand? Riots. You want riots? (Probably actually...) That's how you instigate riots.

Feeding the troll, and probably whatever algorithm you're feeding my responses into, but where the hell has it ever been said that they're preventing people under 40 from talking?

I'm sorry, you're asking for what now? Should we be inviting Kristi noem at the next rally? I'm thinking she might decline...

Or were you looking for someone libertarian?

Having fewer comments to sift through makes it much easier to self sort the crazy/obvious trolls, even when they make many accounts

When party leaders/elected officials speak at rallies, it's proof that there's a conspiracy?

That's amazingly soft, living up to your handle there.

Yeah I'm dismayed how much violence stoking I see in the comments. People need to stay safe, and throwing gasoline on a sparking outlet is not the way to do that

Fucking love it. Rip Tom

Oh my goodness, someone else who played ghost master! What a quirky awesome game! I wasn't aware it was PC exclusive, because who the hell consideres PC to be "exclusivity"

Yeah, I'd rather try to work through the system than give his orange-ness and the troglodytes more provocation.

Edit to add: as a pissed off Californian with family in LA

If the police did their jobs protecting the public from kidnappers blatantly rolling down the streets, they would've earned so much community good will

You ain't getting paid, any more than the "Soros shills" you think are getting paid

I feel like we might also be being trolled magats aren't out of stupid money/time yet

Your raids are making it more difficult and dangerous to be a citizen going about their fucking business walking home. They're making it more difficult to be a business by shaking down tourists and customers. They're making it more difficult to be in a safe neighborhood, with illegal kidnappings happening on the streets. They're making it more difficult to be an American, watching the government attacking students in classrooms. They're making it more difficult to be a human watching them separate parents from children with no recourse.

Shame if you want to keep the label (a big pain in the ass, but can be done for special bottles, then again this would just make the label more unique!)

I mean...

I haven't read anything about a console "beating" my deck, I've not really kept up with consoles since getting my deck.

I'm not upset if something sells more than the deck, it's a different environment, should I be annoyed i-phones are more popular than the deck?

I don't think Nintendos success will have any bearing on the next deck, be it design, marketing or release window, if anything the Nintendo coming out right now is great holdover/low market time between the deck and whatever comes next. If anyone was looking to buy new hardware right now it would be apt to compare the two products as the Nintendo would probably have better hardware, even though the product you get is so much different that 9 times out of 10 the honest & correct answer is 'deck'.

Whatever is driving this theory/controversy is baiting for your attention. I'd recommend taking it with a grain of salt and focusing on the bigger issues right now (especially if in America)

38, just lost the 12 year old 267k miles car to an idiot my age in a brand new muscle car who was immediately on the phone to Daddy. It was one of the few things of value I had to my name. Was hoping to get 400k out of it. Instead I get a new car payment that I have no idea how I'm going to cover.

The times are rolling, I'm not sure they're good.

Holy fuck this is a terrible idea.

The child was "saved" in that they can last longer until they'd die without a liver transplant.

It was successful because of how easy the liver is to target with medications.

"Fixing" one organ doesn't change the entire bodies genotype, female sex cells will continue to (potentially) carry the defect.

These genetic "diseases" are not all without any benefit, the most common example is sickle cell anemic people have higher resistance to malaria.

There's no telling how "fixing" things generically will alter other systems in the body, it was done to one organ to a briefly observed window of success, that's barely more than anecdotal evidence.

This is what I came up with in 5 minutes, I'm not a geneticist.

I understand your motivation and desire to not let the morons go un-opposed, I appreciate what you've done, but it's time to leave the troll in it's cave. The ogre will not turn to stone if it feels the touch of sun unfortunately. Shine your brightness in places it'll be appreciated.

It must not contain enough kick backs for him

Being able to run a site without donations for years without any incoming donations is a great thing, but years isn't really that long, and what would happen when that money ran out? There would be a last minute funding push for a company with a proven record of financial malpractice, who would want to donate to it then?

You're right that the editors don't get money, but they do get a reputable unbiased platform that they can share their knowledge on, and for many people that's more than enough. (Source: Wikipedia, Reddit, Lemmy)
