This is the way

I got the Bender model. It’s not terrible, the arm and leg joints are wobbly. There’s not much support there, not a brick quality issue. It looks good and is more stable on the base that comes with it. Worth the price for me.

I got out of a ticket for illegal mods in New Jersey 20 years ago. Local cops pulled me over on a state route, I stopped on an offramp shoulder. State trooper shows up and says fuck no. He followed me to the parking spot and said have a good night.

He would rail you while gently explaining boat design and sharpening a chisel. Mustache whimsicaly bristling in the breeze of his warm breath. “mmm, I think I’ve just had an orgasm. Now this is how you properly secure a mooring knot”

Look closer, there are 15 hotdogs

Dude, where did you get that holster. I’ve been looking for one that would carry the bits and blades for my surge.

Edit: looks custom printed, nice

Had to have the landlord come and fix a relatively minor issue with our shower. About lost my mind making sure the place looked presentable for him to fix something he’s responsible for. Trauma sucks

That may or may not happen. There’s no need to be a dick and take away what small bit of hope these results might offer people.

Eta: I would feel the same way you do if this was some snake oil grift touting a one shot cure for cancer or something. This, however, is just offering a slight mitigation of depressive symptoms related to the actual disease.

Your experience with psychedelics at the age of 19, while your brain was still developing, has no relevance to adults suffering from life-long ptsd and terminal cancer getting positive side effects from the drugs.

Let their lungs collapse?..

I feel like you and I would probably have a lot of good conversations. I don’t say that to many people. Thank you for everything you post here, it’s part of what keeps me going buddy.

No, thankfully I could see where his humor was coming from. He was quite lonely after we moved to a rural republican area. So I made it a point to not bring girls home for noisy one night stands, and to spend more time with him and our mutual friends. Getting married and having kids probably helped me settle down. I’m very sad he doesn’t get to meet his youngest nephew.

Eta: I did laugh at the question, that’s why I like to tell these stories.

My late brother used to love to bust my balls, so him being the person he was, would introduce me (us) as “he’s the gayest straight man you’ll ever meet, and I’m the straightest gay man you’ll ever meet”. He wasn’t flamboyant or anything, and I do enjoy antiques and musicals. He also threatened to haunt my left testicle if I kept having raucous sex without bringing someone home for him. Anyway, thanks for reading. I miss that big, proud asshole.

Anywhere there are people, regardless of population density, there will be some with badly wired brain cells.

While I can’t necessarily disagree with your correlation≠causation argument…

I could just as easily claim that vehicle fuel economy improving during the 70’s caused a decrease in female suicides.

Better gas mileage probably contributed a more than zero amount to that decrease.

Infinite money and access to unscrupulous doctors combined with mental illness and body dismorphia caused by years of abuse will do that to a person, go figure.

I still have notebooks full of my late brother’s Vampire games. He was an accomplished DM in many circles. Printed copies of real estate listings in NYC that he used in game. Dozens of npcs, lore from multiple clans. If anyone has a use for thousands of dollars worth of whitewolf VtM original books…I have a literal laundry basket full since nobody I know will play.

Dude, just join the SCA. I promise it’s right where you want to be.

Independence Day (1996)

They just walked in to the underground lab beneath Area 51. The president was curious how it was paid for.
