I’m an American… I’m thinking recently that we could stand to be a little more like the French a little more often.

Love my guy George. Listening to Cardboard Castles got me through a really rough time in my life and I don’t expect to ever be able to repay it. Least I can do is to spread the word.

Braindead former humans wander the land aimlessly and cause huge problems for everyone else.

They’re the same picture

That’s essentially how they wrote the song, so yeah! I can see it. I’d watch this.

Watsky, et al - Exquisite Corpse

For best results this should be cheesy B-movie as hell, the song really leans into it I think

Oh I keep this one memorized.

[Mr. Madison,] What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I’ve successfully used this twice in DnD and once in real life.

I don’t like his movies but I respect his hustle. He has enough money to approach an agent and tell them “I want to make this movie, I want to cast all my friends in it, and I want my character to walk away with a hot date at the end” and the agent just says okay.

They’re pretty much all the same movie with different names on them. But it’s pretty clear that everyone involved in those movies was just having a great time making them.

He sent his co-stars dead animals and condoms as “gifts”

It’s a near certainty, if you want your brain implant to be able to communicate with any device outside your skull. If it has Bluetooth or NFC then that’s a vulnerability vector.

Hmm. I think you’re right actually. I was never brave or foolish enough to test it though.

But I know for certain that this works on any and every humanoid merchant, as long as you’re smart with what element you pick. No frost damage on Nords or fire on Dunmer, for instance.

So, fun fact about that, this enabled one of my favorite exploits.

When you sell stuff to merchants, they’ll automatically equip it, if it’s of higher value than what they already have equipped. Most anything with a constant effect enchantment is higher value than almost anything they’re likely to be wearing.

So, you go enchant yourself a shirt with Constant Effect Damage Health on Self 1pt. Sell it to a merchant, and then wait patiently for an hour until he keels over dead. Proceed to loot his entire shop without getting a bounty for it and then move on to the next shop.

Pro tip, if you get too happy with this strategy, remember not to do this to the creature merchants as well or you can very easily find yourself left in a world without commerce.

I’ve been using Fences for like 10 years with roll-up containers. Now that I’ve switched to Linux actually having icons on my desktop again is kind of driving me nuts.

Do you know of an alternative?

Lost my job around 2017 and it was real difficult to get a new one in the tech sector without a college degree. I lucked in to the one originally through professional connections. No such luck the next time after I got downsized.

So I ended up working at my local auto parts store to make ends meet in the meantime, and figured out that I actually really like fixing cars. It exercises the same sort of problem solving capacity but the problems you solve are usually a little less arcane. Made a few new connections including a guy who worked at an actual garage, got offered a position at that garage if I wanted it, and the rest is history.

I still dabble in programming as a hobby, but I enjoy working with my hands and the feeling of fixing a physical object is more fulfilling to me than fixing software. So here I stay (for now).

I used to be a programmer and now I fix cars professionally, I feel like half of my professional life has been gazing upon some ancient work of dark magic and cussing loudly because I know I’m about to have to go in.

The line between jank and wizardry is sometimes blurry. The best magic has a little bit of jank in it, and the worst jank is sometimes a little bit magical.

Here’s my entire credit card and I’m bringing my steel-toes

I hope someone came and removed the litter.

Therein lies your problem. I can show up for a weekend. I can show up for several weekends, in fact. I can’t sit in a protest for two weeks, because I have a job I need to keep in order to eat food and own a home.

As the economy collapses further more and more people will become available for the sort of protest required of them, because they will no longer have job responsibilities. Or food. Possibly including me.

Until that time, I will be making efforts to keep my job.

It started out as a parody and then just turned into one of the better dubs of the show.

The beginning is rough but it comes into its own quickly.
