  • My parents both openly smoked weed in front of my from a young age. I was told that as long as I was home by curfew and didn’t come home in a cop car they were fine with me doing basically whatever cuz they knew I wasn’t a complete moron (my dad worked in the school system and knew all the ACTUAL problem children really well, they hated me because of that so I never got to be a hoodlum lol), though my nugs WERE taken from me at 15 because “you were dumb enough to let us catch you with it” which is fair but I say they were out and bumming off of me without saying so lol

    As for sex I got a quick talk about using a condom after my dad caught my GF and I doing it, but otherwise it was left mostly unsaid cuz my sex Ed wasnt trash



  • Ill add something I’ve never really seen anyone mention: it used to be a lot better at staying on topic without ME keeping it that way

    For example: this weekend I was playing Blops 3 and googled shit like “Winslow accord bo3” and after 1-3 searches I could just type shit related to bo3 and even if it had relevant pages related to other shit, it’d remember my recent searches and keep them rather relevant even if it was on my phone or a new window rather than the same search bar

    At least, it used to work that way. Now every 4-5 searches it suddenly forgets what tangent I was on and I have to start adding qualifiers again to get relevant searches


  • One time I was playing modded Skyrim when it froze/crashed at the loading screen

    So I summon task manager, it hides behind the frozen game. I alt+tab and start blind keying to Skyrim to end it, been here hundreds of times, but nothing happens and the Skyrim world music STARTS???!!!

    ALT+TAB to see TM and Skyrim both reporting non-responsive. Tab to Skyrim and press w, clearly hear character moving and reacting to my input

    Try again to end process via ALT+F4, No dice. Try via TM, still unresponsive

    I had to reboot my PC with a hard power button press that time and I still don’t fully understand what the FUCK happened




  • They could have a community center or a library. Sure funds are hard to come by but what kind of political party would even consider that?

    Funny enough here in the rural parts of CA I’ve seen Raleys and Holiday Markets putting in large community areas with amenities like cheap (sometimes free) printers, office space, children’s areas, etc.

    They’re not perfect or anything but its wild to see capitalist behemoths pull off something actually close to what the ideal would be, even if it’s likely to manipulate people somehow

    Make it law that communities with a dollar general or fuck it any grocery store we all have to eat have a community center of halfway decent quality in it like those places have done willingly and you’ll have an improvement, guaranteed


  • I carefully got what I expected my party to get through for their first few sessions as maps into Roll20, fog of war so that they can only see what they’d reasonably have seen so far themselves, mood music set to play when going to the appropriate screens, snacks, and a big ass black cloak and evil laugh. Really went all out with it.

    The people I first did it for ghosted me and when I went by their house later that night (parents lived down the street) everyone’s cars were there

    I still do whenever I get groups that want to play, but it always makes me feel like I’m wasting my time now :(





  • This is so important to you that the government must be petitioned to act but you don’t have a single example?

    Yup, that’s exactly what I said, nailed it!

    Did you purchase Concord?

    No, irrelevant anyway

    Have you ever purchased a game that no longer works?

    Yes. Multiple, even!

    Why do you think you have the right to tell the devs what they should be doing if you didn’t buy their game?

    Because nobody should have the ability to take a paid-for product and make it no longer work after the fact. That flat-out _shouldn’t be an options for anyone

    You should really inform yourself on this topic, it’s super clear you’ve got no idea what youre on about








  • My wife hates that I do this because it absolutely burns bridges, but fuuuuck these people

    Doctor makes me wait 30-45 minutes 3 visits in a row? I’ll walk that third time the second it hits 30m (you got charged for being that late so why couldn’t I charge them after all?)

    Job interviewer more than 5 minutes late? I’ll get up and walk out of your building without escort, I remember the way. If you can’t be on time to your own building, go fuck yourself
