I actually can’t imagine myself doing retail or food service. I would shut down so quickly :( Tech support at a uni was the closest I did and I was not well suited to that

The price would have to come down a lot more than that

That feels like multiple bad choices

America has changed, man! We don’t do that sort of shady shit anymore, not since checks notes

I am curious about the sort of person who takes Tim Pool seriously.

Nurses should be pooping more than once a week

I got stuck on a “sentry” boss

Yes

I wonder if I’m related to this person

In Australia I’ve spent some time in more tropical areas (Queensland), no leeches, including just faffing about in swamps and stuff. Also just slept on the ground in more semi-arid areas (SW WA), and gotten no ticks despite everyone else getting them. On the other hand, people have spotted me with a cloud of mosquitoes around me, and I’ve gotten over 300 in one night. idk what’s going on

It should be “Wuh”

Yeah, does seem like an odd claim

Bafflingly, I have never gotten a tick despite being in situations where everyone else does. Mosquitoes love me though :( (leeches and ticks seem to avoid me idk why)

Sounds amazing, do it

W is an awful letter for acronyms

Among young single guys, there’s this idea that sex is the most pleasurable, meaningful experience you could have. But even they don’t really believe it.

If they look deep down, actual sex doesn’t really matter. Not the pleasure, not the mutual engagement in an activity with someone who wants to do it with you, no. What really matters is that your (masculine) friends believe you’re the sort of person that could get laid. And not just laid, but laid by people they think of as hot. Valuable. That someone would give it up to say they had been with you, someone that acts as a gatekeeper to how seriously your friends will take you.

And what else could sex be used for? Mass producing the next generation of your nation’s soldiers and workers, something that floats around in the back of a dude’s mind.

Pleasure is a distant third for motivating the sorts of weirdness and violence that cishet men have around sex.

The F22 that shot down the weather balloon now has a balloon painted in the cockpit, so I guess??

Yeah, I think that’s generally the case (though not explicitly stated). Writing the basics of everyone’s characters should be a group effort, with some amount of buy-in from each player for each character. The idea of 4 completely independently written characters coming on the same adventure is… It feels archaic, like we’re all playing weekly D&D with completely different people and everyone has different amounts of XP etc.

I only remember these, idk what it was referencing:

Peter Stormare from Red Alert 3 in Volkswagen Ads

Actually, the Mannerheim line was deliberately weak and exposed Finns to Soviet arms, only to prove how terrible Soviet strategy/engineering/whatever was and exalt the Finnish victory. Each Finnish soldier, despite only being armed with a wooden spoon, defeated a hundred Russian Orks, armed with the best and worst tanks.

EDIT: I’m very drunk. Satire.
