Trump’s coin dropped already.

Time since covid is just weird.

Yeah, that’s insane.

I think it’s a great game for when I was a kid, but time is more precious now, that’s not enough dopamine for the frustration for me anymore.

I want to ask you something:

My first try, I explored and wandered, eventually got destroyed when I went too far.

Didn’t have tempest.

What is the hint to tell you to camp in the church after level 6? I saw nothing even suggesting that, was I meant to look online?

The game tells you literally nothing, it’s like an old school NES game where you try everything wildly (goonies 2) , which would be fine except there’s literally infinite choice and almost 0 logic.

Right back pocket in cargo pants or shorts.

Left hand is wallet, front left is small tool pouch, right front is edc tool, possibly keys, and context specific requirements.

Everything is instantly grabbable off muscle memory, and the pockets are perfectly large for everything without stabbing myself in the junk with keys.

So, actually in the south the term was ‘retargeted’ by the (sub) - urban elite to mean yeoman farmers who worked the fields and had suntan on their necks.

I respect the original term, but the colloquial has reverted to ‘ignorant, racist southerner’, for good or ill.

If you have a better term for it I’m all ears, but it’s not like there isn’t a need for a category given their behavior.

They changed the underlying medical term, ‘mental retardation’ to ‘developmentally disabled’ in a form of lingual whack-a-mole since the old term was being used as an insult.

Once it lost its meaning as a short form of the medical term, it became a slur, much like we don’t call black people the n-word anymore.

No, now I’m curious.

I mean, I lived through the 80s too, no judgment here, just are the subs and dubs that interesting?

Is it though?

I grew up in the south, I understand them perfectly.

Imagine growing up your whole life being told you need to be angry because you’re the greatest but everybody else takes what you deserve from you.

It used to be that pesky northerners took away your slaves, but that evolved to taking away your rights to enforce your own laws (Jim crow), then your rights to be Christian the way you want (school prayer, abortion, insisting on a Christian country), then forcing you to tolerate gays who are abominations against God and nature, then letting foreigners come in and steal the one thing you have 9f value, your citizenship.

All while being rich coastal liberals who never did any real work because they set the rules of the game that your parents never understood, but education can’t be that important, you’re all the chosen of God and your pastor explained that there’s no knowledge that you need outside of the truth of the Bible.

So you have a choice between a loud, uppity foreign woman telling you why you’re not good enough in her fancy words, or somebody who talks sense and tells it like it is, and you know he’s right because it’s what you’ve always known in your heart.

They were raised on 3 things: college football, NASCAR and pro-wrestling, and they never got involved with politics till now, so they use pro-wrestling as their model, and he is clearly the face right now.

Yeah, I didn’t necessarily believe that, but I figured if they did, that was understandable in the circumstances.

Seriously, it was pretty fringe to be openly truther back then.

It wasn’t till Obama that we started getting all these batshit insane morons on parade.

Birtherism really pushed it, but basically losing 2008 made the right desperate, they were willing to recruit from anybody, anywhere, right when social media started its upswing.

I think we can say most of our modern conspiracitardacy was fairly quiet till the social media wave.

I mean, that is kind of what he means, in a way.

Weird 34 was just showing off his misogyny

That’s literally his strongest selling point, his voters support him because he normalizes misogyny.

If he ran over and slapped her to the floor they’d consider it a show of American Strength.

My udm is basically running either debian or Ubuntu with all the major apt packages so everything should work, though I don’t think most of the logs go through syslog, many go into their mongodb database I think.

So in the end, it doesn’t even matter?

That was so much more fun than it had any right to be.

Nailed it, investors are demanding profit increases, it’s not just interest rates (though they’re the main reason) but also the corporate tax cuts in 2018 basically dumped a ton of profit onto corporations because they repatriated all their offshore cash they’d been hoarding.

That bump lasted 2 years, but the expectation of higher revenue is still there, it doesn’t matter if you got lucky at slots last month, if you make your normal salary this month investors will be absolutely pissed.
