I have "all time fave" which are games I keep reinstalling every so often, then I have "installed" vs "not installed"

The category for favorites is just so when I inevitably go to look for a game to install because I'm bored with what I have, it's at the top when I un-check the "installed" button.

Attorneys don’t just file a suit because their client said so: they generally need to be shown there’s an actionable case with a chance if winning

Man, I used to believe that.

The last 8 years have shown me otherwise.

There's also one where the child is intersex and collapses during their basketball game.

Same.

I imagine it's partly because we "don't do football"

I have a little giggle to myself every time one team beats another and half of my family is pissed and the other half is happy.

A balrog? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Located entirely within the confines of the walkway leading from the crack of doom?

My name is Miles Edward O'Brien, and that's all any online entity will get. Anything beyond that is outside its "need to know"

(never give any online entity your real name unless you would trust them with your house/car keys)

As someone who paid enough attention in highschool chemistry to get a B, and occasionally watches Nile(red/blue) and E&I videos.... I know some of these words/symbols!

The "Ohio? Or is this Ohio?" is a great way to start a fight in both states, depending on how dedicated to American football the listener is.

10/10

Ah, insecurity and insane levels of rage. Name a more iconic duo.

I'm just saying, screaming that a gesture is making fun of your penis size is the quickest way to make everyone think you have the smallest dick in the world.

Which is insane, how do you pillage most of the planet looking for spices to sell people and then have the blandest food in the world...

I'm sure that would have looked great to all the gathered men who were still alive.

"oh yeah, the elves showed up and one of them went up to the crack of doom with Isildur after his father died, and the elf came back alone and wouldn't tell us what happened inside. Something's fucky. We better prepare for an attack from the elves."

Whether anyone actually threw hands immediately or not, men and elves would have a far shittier relationship after that.

The question is, did more suffering occur because Elrond didnt do this? We can't know.

(but probably)

That's odd, because when I was in highschool my polisci class was following some high profile financial crime cases, and the rich old white fucks got slapped with less than 2 years in a federal resort prison...

Almost like there's different justice systems for different kinds of people.

Don't bother bringing up the different countries legal systems, ultimately they're all the same. You're not in the in group no matter which country it is unless you're insanely, obscenely rich.

I see no reason to "cut myself off" at any point, I still find games released in the last few years that look interesting, and some with release dates TBD that look neat.

I haven't bought a new console since July 2015 and have no plans to buy a new generation any time soon.

When my current console dies, I might upgrade, but likely I will find a cheap used replacement and keep playing what I already have.

Someday I will update all my stuff, just not today.

News flash!

This, just in: "Leaders of capitalist meat grinders prepared to lie to keep money flowing and try to pull in more"

I'm shocked.

Hey, I've seen this one.

A prehistoric virus is gonna infect someone with coldness until a plucky US-Marshall-turned-sherrif saves the day with his science-mined friends and colleagues.

I follow the proud American tradition my grandfather had of fighting fascism.

If the government of the states decides to be fascist, well...

Hey now, I was taught it's evil because someone might benefit from my labor that isn't me.

Just sit there and think about that for a minute or two.

But stabbing your neighbor isn't exactly something most people are willing to do.

And any sort of attempt at organization leads to Alphabet Squad raids and whatever bullshit charges they feel like throwing at you after deciding you're guilty of being a dirty commie/socialist/librul/not them.

I used to work at a sporting goods store, primarily bicycles but I occasionally ran the gun counter.

It was interesting over the last decade I worked, to see how the paperwork wording changed.

The only ones that stand out in memory was asking about "illegal substance use"

First it was "are you addicted to any illegal drugs" and if you checked "yes" then you got denied the sale.

Then it changed to "addicted or USER OF any illegal drugs"

Then "user of any federally illegal substances" or something like that. I'm not sure what it is now since I haven't run a counter in years and haven't bought a gun in almost as long.

They clearly were trying to keep the wording so it didn't matter what the legal status was in your area, or whether the substance you use is addictive or not.

As far as I'm concerned, Marijuana use is just as valid around firearms as alcohol use. It's fine if you drink and it's fine if you shoot, just don't ever do them together.

There are a lot of people who are extremely insistent that Marijuana stays as illegal as possible, and that nobody who smokes is allowed to own a gun.

And a surprising few of them can actually articulate why for either of those.

I'm not looking forward to the inevitable board-flipping, but who knows, maybe the rest of the players will tell Kevin to sit down and shut up because even regular monopoly sucks ass.
