Ideologically, no. In reality, yes.

Had you not been participating in the activities, they would likely not have any attention placed on them.

In the same way you are trying to initiate changes by putting pressure on those who you feel are doing wrong, those who feel that YOU are in the wrong will put pressure on you. Harassing your relatives not only puts pressure on you from your relatives, but is also designed to break you emotionally by watching the people you care about be hurt.

I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s the way things work.

Deathloop

I first played Deathloop on Gamepass and loved it even though I rushed through it (one of the negatives of GP is rushing through games so you “get your money’s worth”). When it came back to GP, I convinced my friend to play it, and ended up going through it a second time (though, again, hurriedly). I bought it on Steam at full price and gave it to my kid’s S.O. as a gift, but didn’t start playing… Until a couple weeks later when I canceled Gamepass and picked it up on Steam for $8. Been going through it for the 3rd time now, taking my time and exploring it all. Still enjoying it immensely, and still getting sucked into the lore!

Must christians I know hoard money like that dragon from The Hobbit.

Bill Cosby is a monster, but his stand-up special “Himself” is a master class on comedic story-telling.

Have you tried Firefokth?

Mmmkaaaaaaayyyyyy…

Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyck recently started Once We Were Spaceman and is primarily the two just chatting. I’ve been enjoying it a lot so far!

The more irrelevant the advertising I see, the happier I am about my digital footprint.

Plus, it’s funny to me when “the algorithm” tries to sell a moist, pasty red-head lotion and hair relaxer because I matched into that demographic somewhere along the line.

This is what unconditional love and support looks like.

Like every other ball pit, it smells like piss… Just the way he likes it.

Hulu hasn’t been recording NBC shows for 3 weeks now.

Modern churches have nothing to do with Jesus.

I’m a software tester. I break everything I use whether I’m trying or not.

I used to mow lawns growing up. Would listen to headphones to drown out the mower. 30 years later I essentially hear this 24/7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D96_1AsUajA My wife (and everyone else who knows me) knows my general hearing is bad, but not horribly so, and much worse in noisy situations. There are times when I don’t hear that tone as much, but it’s there every morning when I wake up and it’s quiet.

Also, at max volume, I had to hold the phone speaker on my ear to make sure that video was even making a noise.

Frequencies above 6k-7k have disappeared/are always there.

Do yourself a favor and take advantage of noise-canceling headphones so you can keep the volume down.

I skipped over it initially as well.

It was called the education system, and Republicans have been dismantling it slowly for decades because it sees through their bullshit.

Every system is susceptible to the same corruption we’re dealing with now.

A working system starts with transparency. Any system that allows back-room deals, preferential treatment to a subgroup, etc. will eventually lead to a Trump-like demagogue looking to be the king of it all.

Expected a couch in the first pic.

Mythbusters FTW!

“That could mean biological needs like food or sleep, social needs like work or seeing friends and family, or self-improvement like exercise or pursuing hobbies…”

Work has done all of this to me on repeated occasions, but I wouldn’t say I’m addicted to work.

Though… I suppose I am addicted to the resulting paycheck.
