So, if I’m understanding right, the computer said there’s a great chance at $1 million in the mystery box if I’m the type to pick it and only it, which I am.

But I pick it for this bad reason: friends and I like to make fun of my troll luck. I’d take it, and somehow get $0 despite several more people after me will get $1 million after me, including two boxers. We’d laugh at “can you believe this shit?” and know it just wasn’t in the stars, just like that time I broke my ankle and all the automated walkways at the airport were broken. It’s that kind of thing (and yes that happened). My infamous troll luck strikes again!

Or it’s all superstition and I get a million bucks, since I’m pretty sure my infamous luck is just confirmation bias. Either way, fun had by all.

That happened to me, but I’m happy with CachyOS now for most things. I can’t believe how much it a step down 11 was from 10 though, it was astounding. Worse than 7 to 8, even.

Entirely relatable right down to the sheer (temporary) hatred for everyone involved. Like, literally right now that’s how I’m feeling, because my two year old is an asshole who also caused water damage last week under similar circumstances and today, just the terror of them messing up the house and breaking shit while being “watched” by my partner who is on their phone instead of doing stuff.

The crying, the insane decision making, the lack of support, the draining weekday work, and even just not getting fulfilment in life; you shouldn’t beat yourself up over it since I think everyone goes through it and at least you didn’t get physically violent.

It’s only guilty because the kids are innocent, but they can learn that people lose their temper, have bad days, etc. We literally teach them to express their emotions and to be understanding when people are stressed; so as long as you do that for them in return, I’m sure they’ll get over your outburst

He’s comic relief to counter the rest of the crew, but The Doc does that a thousand times better.

To that point. I recently saw the episode where she goes through puberty prematurely and they talk about having a baby even though her species doesn’t ovulate until 4.

It’s creepy. It’s hard to pin down because the actress is obviously of age but that episode was gross.

Was literally just thinking this. Star Wars fans had it worse.

Funny a book I read literally today, published 1918 had radium as the mysterious magic treasure hidden in the island with healing powers. Well, and also cancerous sores powers. They knew what happened to Curie.

Maybe it’s to avoid getting buried in the algorithm on mainstream apps that avoid that word. It’s likely just a copy paste from one of those.

Shame and regret.

“There’s only one way to be certain, Pooh. Shoot us both and be done with it.”

Lol, indeed-- the 2 lane 1 lane road certainly exists elsewhere, as I’ve seen in Japan side streets.

But as my old Indian roommate mentioned to me once, red lights also don’t always mean stop there either, lol

Lol I literally remarked about that earlier in another thread, but now we can really rant.

Is this fairly universal in all cities? Here in LA it’s almost every block on the westside but less so elsewhere. Visiting people in Santa Monica I even ran into two double parkers across from each other and couldn’t even pass. Lol

That’s me, joking, because I didn’t think it needed an /s?

After all, they’re controlling the news media and running propaganda to push us right. That said. I know hitting kids media is its own brand of evil, though we’ve yet to see what that looks like or if it’ll even happen on those cartoon channels.

Oh no, not Cartoon Network – where will I get my news?

Even more true if you’re one of many who remove shoes in the house. Shoes are an outside thing only and if they’re the only thing you have on, something has gone tricky terribly awry.

Yes, that tracks. In very heavy fog, you should be at a reduced speed since you can’t see more than a meter in front of you. I imagine that’s true in a blizzard too. Your second reading is a little confusing though, I imagine in most cases like this a slowed vehicle is a hazard to others…

Tell that to everyone who is double parked, lol.

That said, I’ve driven in a sudden thick fog before on a freeway and the hazards helped everyone see each other. This was like 1 meter of visibility and everyone just moved at a slow speed until we were out of it. I think it was slightly more reliable than break lights, but only just.

Don’t forget Mrs. Hazards. All those ladies let each other know where it’s safe to be.

I mean, if we could be so lucky…

Probably won’t mean much for the worst companies, but I can assure you some companies hire union actors (even when internally, they are anti-union). The restrictions are a bit more than pay, as they have to plan carefully for voice work since there’s minimum sessions and stuff.

Also quite a lot is just done via third party contract with VA agencies, even AAA. Those agencies do both games and anime. They kinda have to hire unions since they’ll lose all their best talent if they don’t, so that’s a factor.

(Btw, my source is my wife, she complains because she works in localization at a AAA and it can be really hard when you need just a single line of dialog and have to pay for a whole session, lol. And if you need to redo a line… oh boy, but you get creative with their time).
