Oops you fell victim to your own response. Oh, but you used alternating caps, so I guess I’m supposed to feel stupid? I don’t. You could have live footage of the jihad perpetrators, and you’d still get people saying, “isR8eL 1nvEntEd M1nD c0nTr0L derp!” Can’t help those that don’t want help, I guess.

That’s sad. I’ve always loved him in everything he’s been in (maybe not Event Horizon, but that’s me), and he seems like a very nice person. He’s Majestical!
I don't understand why every news source has to give dump so much more time than anyone else. Who cares what he said this time. It's the same thing every time. I guess it gets them more views (by what metric? Nielson?). CNN even said after dump's first win that maybe they shouldn't have given him about triple the coverage of every other candidate from both sides combined. In the interim years, CNN has still had more dump than even the current president.
This is why I do not watch news anymore. But, it matters little. Humanity, please continue our speed run to extinction.
I’ve been doing it for so many years across all devices and platforms that I actually get…confused for a second when one slips through. It is normally YouTube that slips through (they seem to be trying new things almost daily to get around any possible ad blocks), but sometimes it is from a major news web site or something. I actually have to look around for a second and then realize what has just happened.
The windmills are stealing the wind! It’s not infinite, you know! Those windmills are going to slow the planet’s spin down, and then we’re all going to fly off it! But, I’ve heard if you love Jeebers enough he’ll pull you back down to Earth by your oversized belt buckle (but not in a gay way), so maybe it’s okay.
The Russians got smart and bought Carryout Tracking on every pizza order. The drone strikes bankrupted Domino’s, not their food-adjacent menu.
You are in a similar position (it sounds like) to where I was a short time ago.I was so fed up with the state of things on the computer/console/handheld front that I just kind of did not want to play anything anymore. Two things, and adjusting my expectations, really helped:
-
Game Pass - I’ve had it forever, but now it is more important, since I’m not buying new games as much anymore. It’s a small monthly fee, and I can frequently be surprised by the quality of some smaller indie games.
-
RetroAchievements - This is my current “thing”, and hopefully it will be for a long time to come. You use an emulator that has support for RetroAchievements (the biggest one being RetroArch) and the correct ROM file, and you can earn achievements in thousands of old games, from the earliest days of mass-market computing and consoles (magnavox, intellivision, apple ii, fairchild, amstrad cpc, etc.), through all 8 and 16 bit consoles, and up to Ps1/2/PSP/N64/3DO/Dreamcast, with Gamecube, Vita, or PS3 likely to be the next “big” console release (probably Gamecube). Revisit your favorites from years past and play them in new ways to get all of the achievements, or try out games you never had (or systems you never had) for the first time. Biggest criticism is that they have a tendency of being “too hard”, but you can either just pick games that don’t have ridiculously hard achievements, or just not go for 100%.
I will absolutely be buying Baldur’s Gate 3 as well.
"And you know what else I don't like? The Moon! Why does it have to chase the Sun away? Every day? It's like clockwork! I mean, you could maybe probably set your clock to it. I wouldn't. But maybe more dumber people. They might do it. And another thing, sometimes I don't want to go to sleep yet! But no...we gotta have the moon. Gotta have it. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just have the sun? I mean I have a great tan. You could say I have the best tan. People love it. I have the best tan. I look great. I feel great. I've never felt better. I might live forever, doctors say. I think I might be aging in reverse. You know, that Benjamin Bratt disease. Boy, wasn't he great for inventing the dollar bill and kites? Love kites...they're great. Dykes, not so much! And we love the wind, don't we? Kites and dykes, both love wind. Can't fly the kites without the wind, right? And you know the climate is doing so great now. We have the wind. The water, the fire, the earth. It's amazing, I tell ya. What was the question again? Yea, I slept ok."
I would never brush or floss before, unless I had just eaten something awful within the last hour or so. I think it is best to stick with your normal routine. You give the hygienist a better look at how good or bad your cleaning is. They can easily tell what is recent and what has stuck to the teeth and requires scaling. Furthermore, you aren't saving them any stink. The stuff that you need their help to clean out smells about 50 times worse than the things you just ate (just smell your floss compared to your breath after any meal). A quick rinse with water will get the worst out of their way, and even if you're a sloppy eater the rest will take maybe 5 minutes at worst to remove.
I personally just don’t buy Squeenix software any longer. They’ve abandoned too many titles (mostly on mobile, but elsewhere too) and I just don’t feel good about giving them money. Last one I purchased was FF14 for the PC (which is one of the best MMOs I’ve played).
That’s just my take on things. If it happens to show up on Epic for free or Game Pass (unlikely on both, I know), then sure I’ll grab it to try.
Most kBin’ers, unfortunately: “Does not conform to my position, try again.” shakes magic 8-ball furiously
Not trying to beat a dead horse, but boy has this conflict really shown the dark side of kBin. I guess that nice federation atmosphere only applies for some topics. This place is not really any better than the other alternatives. (Edit: Still better than Reddit)
