My name is Earl

The Middle

Fallout

The Golden Girls (it's funny as hell, for real)

I can't remember if it was local or national news, but I believe last month or so, a police officer was charged with using work resources to creep on his ex.

So, it's certainly possible, but they could get in a lot of trouble if word got out.

When my kids were little we wrestled all the time. They loved getting picked up, spun around and fake piledrived!

This always bothers me so much! It always comes down to one hand, and it's ALWAYS presented prior to the deal, that this is the hand that has to win, and the hero gets a royal flush.

Oh wow. He got REALLY lucky and it required no skill at all. 🙄

The Mandala Effect is when your memories repeat in a spiral pattern.

That's how I treat it. I often use the phrase when I'm surprised to learn I remembered something wrong. I don't actually believe I've traveled to an alternate dimension.

I love watching things get under his slimy, flabby skin.

Got started on Vampire Survivors last weekend. Still in what I would call the beginning, but I've unlocked a few fighters and weapons and starting to see some progress.

Id say the one with a superior product isn't a monopoly at all. If it superior to something, it must have competition.

I don't know the situation, but are those her actual words or are you just guessing at her motives?

It might not have anything to do with you. Some of that sounds like it could be desperation. Possibly "I know he's an asshole, but I've tried everything and he just keeps doing it! Why even bother?" add in some defensiveness because she's feeling like a failure of a mom while you two are having the conversation about the behavior problems, and it could very well sounds like she's angry with you.

Like I said, I don't know, but no point in adding hostility where there could be teamwork.

Everyone knew Jimmy Pesto was a piece of shit

I don't think that's the scenario we're talking about here.

I went undiagnosed for nearly 40 years and now I have three with very different levels and styles of ADHD.

There's a difference between cutting the kids some slack because they are neurodivergent (hopefully they are still being held accountable and are being taught that they can't do whatever they want without consequences) and reacting with "That's impossible! My sweet baby would NEVER do that! You must be lying!" anytime you learn about what they've done.

 

As a kid, Diet Coke was all my mom ever bought, so I spent years getting used to it.

I dont drink much soda anymore, but it seems the last few times I've had a can of Diet Coke, it's just not good. It seems more bland than ever before. I don't seem to dislike any other sodas more than I used to.

Anyone else notice this?

 
 

I can't drop Xbox, it's what I have and I'm going to use it, but I did decide that I was not going to bend over for the new price tiers.

You can buy 3 months of Essential for $25. Thus lowering their revenue by $11.66 a month per person. If enough people do the same (or cancel completely if it's a reasonable option.) we can make them feel it in their bottom line!

 

This all started for me when Starfield came out. I couldn't get past the tutorial because it would crash within ten minutes of staying up the game. I never did get to play it. I had similar issues with Avowed, Doom Middle Ages, Oblivion Remastered, and now Borderlands 4. I called Xbox support and ift course they had me reinstall, factory reset, change Mac address, and all that, only to listen to me play for ten minutes before it crashed yet again. The kids can play Siege, Fortnite and Roblox all day long with no issues, but I can't get even get to the first bandit camp in BL4.

I know that most people aren't having this issue, but there is a significant number of people on Reddit complaining about the same issues on the exact same games. I barely touch my Xbox anymore because I'm getting frustrated with not being able to play any of the games I want to play.

Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions, solutions, or success getting Microsoft to give a shit?

 

The Internet says it's an oil beetle. I've never seen one of those before.

 

This is something I thought up earlier today.

I'm not sure if the phrasing is too ambiguous or not. I've been doing cryptic crosswords lately, which include very misleading clues (hint hint).

Give me your answers and any suggestions on phrasing that might make this better, without making it too easy!

 

Great news everyone! I've just been offered a position to remotely train an AI and I can make up to $6000 a day!

Yeah, right.

I'm in the middle of a conversation with someone who randomly instant messaged me. I like to play dumb with these people and then occasionally throw some obscure questions at them and watch them squirm, or just toss subtle insults in my replies.

Anyone else get a kick out of messing with these scammers? Any particular shenanigans you like to throw at them, out any good stories that have come from it?

 

22 years ago (has it really been THAT long?), we got rid of this law.

I think everybody should wear a helmet every time. Not wearing a helmet is extremely stupid and dangerous. I've known lots of people who have riden without a helmet and have been fine, but I also had a cousin that died that way.

That being said, this feels like a "protect me from myself" or "we'll decide for you, since you can't be trusted to make good choices." law. I think I'd rather it stay the way it is, let people make their own poor choices.

I'm curious what others think.

 

The Cursed Egg.

The only way it could be any worse is if it was a rental too.
