Why do they let step 2 even happen? Is it just that the creators don’t actually give a shit about their product/brand, and just want an easy, big pay day? Screw their employees?

My wife has Endo, and many doctors failed to diagnose it. One even told her she couldn’t possibly have it, because it is a “complicated disease” (okay…? How does that mean she doesn’t have it, dumbass?).

Finally went to some fancy, private practitioner dude that is well known for his study in Endo. He did a simple pelvic exam and said rather casually “yep you have Endometriosis. It felt like you have rocks in your vagina”. APPARENTLY IT WAS SO BAD IT COULD BE FELT, BUT OTHER DOCTORS WERE TOO INCOMPETENT TO NOTICE.

Really lost a lot of respect for the average doctor after that.

EWWW is that what he looks like under all the orange? Fuck! 🤮

Pedophile smile if i’ve ever seen one

NOW you do? Not because of literally everything evil Trump and his goons want to do to destroy this country? The fuck?

Thank you! That’s definitely not cool, if you work around 40 hours you should be set, and if you CHOOSE to work over that you should be, well… MORE than set. Hopefully we can get these kinds of changes made… just need to kick out the MAGA trash that has a stranglehold on this country first.

Is it pretty common for people to work 60 hours to pay the bills? I’m not disagreeing with you — no one should have to work that much — i’m just saying the way they worded it as if “we all work 60 hours” seems strange, but maybe i’m just ignorant and the odd one out.

They say this like EVERYONE is working 60 hours, like some kind of… reverse strawman? Weird statement to make.

Truth

And they look like dumpsters from behind. Apparently raccoons have even scratched some trying to get inside, thinking they held delicious trash.

Yeah you’re probably right. Sucks such a great game is bogged down by fear of upsetting biggots though…. after all, who cares what they think, they’re not the target audience.

I call BS, the part you’re lampooning is near the end! You’re a big fat phony!

Yeah easy for him to say, he’s a one-man operation, so he gets ALL the profit to himself. Probably millions of dollars at this point… he’s set for life. He doesn’t really need DLC money. But other devs probably do.

Of course it can: the whole Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope was code for autistic women, and it was a big thing like 15 years back.

And you think China isn’t, with their tofu-dreg projects that everyone buys as in investment but no one actually lives in?

Ehh I’d say quite a good amount of Gen X are like “Boomer-Lite” in how they act and live, if not full on Boomers. Especially the earlier half of the generation.

Yup. Grew up with stuff like Starfox, and it was later ruined by furries.

The problem is I tend to shift around a lot, and cats hate that. So i try to “nip it in the bud” to make sure to avoid the situation altogether, but sometimes they sneak up on me while watching a movie or something.

That’s good to know! Unfortunately all the cats I see are other people’s, and so it would be awkward to be like “hey before we sit down, can we trim your cat’s claws a bit?”

It’s more when I’ve tried to pick them up, they try to dig in because they don’t want to be picked up. It’s a catch 22 situation.

Cats are conflicting for me. They can be cute, but I hate when they try to walk on me. Because I know if I try to move them they’ll probably scratch me. And that’s no bueno to me, just makes me anxious as fuck when they walk my way while i’m sitting on a couch trying to relax.

Thank you, I will take that to heart :)

Just don’t try to apply those steps to a problem an SO is having… sometimes they just want to complain and have someone listen.

Interesting, I didn’t know Utah was known for bees/honey.

You’re probably right…

Bro, they’ve had a tough time since like...the entirety of their history.

No lol

I mean it definitely couldn’t be made nowadays, but I did think it was kind of interesting because it focused on outcasts and the very real sorts of awful situations people like that might have gotten into that the rest of society just kind of refuses to even acknowledge.

But yeah it is undercut a bit by the whole weird pedo thing Japan still has going on to this day.

Why did his arms, legs, and pelvis snap off the rest of the skeleton?

Also I may be mistaken, but can’t bees sting things their size just fine? They just get their stinger stuck in humans (and probably other creatures). I think in this case he could sting and pull out just fine, but who knows?

/jokekill

I mean what are you gonna say, twenty nine? That just sounds like 29. Guess you could say Twenty Oh Nine but that feels awkward.

I think that’s how some cultures would actually say it.

I mean GTO was (and is still) pretty amazing.

Good catch!

Just a note: it should be 10 days out of about 254. Unless you’re one of the sorry souls that works every single day, in which case you have my condolences…

Edit: 10 not 14.

Not really this year. Its been slowed down immensely in the last few months especially.

Whenever someone says “in a few years”, I just think “yeah, I hope we live to see a few years from now too…”

If “acus” means that, then i wonder, how does “abacus” mean a thing you count with? Etymology is fascinating :)

Well it took them 50 years to figure out, whereas Adam guessed it immediately.

Yeah, and apparently that phrase dates back to at least a 1526 translation of the Bible. It’s old.

Fun fact, the “Quick” part of it is an old timey synonym of “Living”. So basically, Living Sand. It’s the same thing with Quick Silver (mercury).
