The first things I recall learning to make for myself were marmalade sandwiches and this concoction of pinto beans, sausage and cheese. I’d heat it in the microwave, which in classic American tradition was made by an offshoot of a defense contractor, Litton. The first thing I learned to cook on the stove, when I was 7, was scrambled eggs.
Mainly I was pining for turn-based Phantasy Star. I’d accept DnD. I was out of the gaming world from 2005-2020. I could have looked harder, it’s true, and that’s why I’m asking questions.
Is that how those work? I’ve been thinking about BG3. I suppose the first RPG I ever played was a Gold Box SSI game set in the Forgotten Realms so I’d probably like it.
One of my favorite series, Phantasy Star, moved from a turn-based RPG in the 80s to an action RPG since 20 years ago (PSO, PSO2). What if I don’t want to play an action game? I don’t get what happened to the old style of RPG.
Someone cited recently how much we were paying a year just for air conditioning in Afghanistan: $20 billion. Meanwhile we’re like “hey, maybe children shouldn’t be starving in school and forced to throw their lunch in the trash at the end of the line if they can’t pay for it, maybe states shouldn’t be sending parents to collections for a $90 kid’s lunch bill” and conservatives: WHO’S GONNA PAY FOR THAT??
I tried to make it easy by giving conversions. The only one I didn’t explain is 1/2 a lb which is 8 oz or 225 g, and of course imperial measurements are absurd.
No, half a pound is 8 ounces, or 225 grams. Sure, that’s still a lot.
Yes, it’s a lot, but what if you’re moving houses, going camping, or giving it to someone? It’s legal to give weed to people. It’s like being allowed to brew beer at your house but you can’t leave home with more than a six pack.
Colorado did the same thing. As of last time I dealt with it, you can grow six plants… which could put out like 12 pounds (5.5 kg) if you’re good at it, but you can’t travel with that because you were only supposed to have one ounce (28g) in your possession. Drive somewhere with 1/2 a lb? Same bullshit as always, second degree felony. The cops managed to to keep it illegal after legalization.

I’ll add one two letter word in case you were confused.
Somehow this became a cultural thing in the US. In some other countries like in South America it’s perfectly normal for 3-4 generations to live under 1 roof.
My guess is it’s tied to making people spend more money for capitalism. The effect it’s had on families is not very positive. It leads to things like elderly people draining thousands from their savings or family members a month for nursing homes. People have to hire child care when otherwise family members could watch a child. Children grow up with more distance from older relatives. Buying additional homes and cars is way more expensive than sharing them. Additional cable and utility bills. More appliances. More food waste.
That’s fine, since he’ll lose the appeal and have to pay her. I doubt the Supreme Court, as lame as they are now, cares to hear this.
I see, so you summed it up poorly. This is also, you’re right, one of those bullshit right-wing hit job ‘journalism’ things where they edit the shit out of footage to make it fit the pre-existing agenda they’re trying to prove. Correct that people here wouldn’t take that seriously, since we’re not the target market for that kind of manipulative tripe.
It’s also misleading to say that most porn sites are owned by one company. You could say that one company has majority market share of one type of site - streaming video.
Can you specify what company you mean and provide a citation for the ‘what 12 year olds want to see’ part?
Nobody cares if you have a rifle that fires a different caliber. Selling full auto mod kits is illegal though.
Yeah, good point. It wasn’t in all caps.
I know a dude who has a daughter named ISIS, born before ISIS was a problematic name. Haven’t talked to him in years but I wonder how that’s going.
Uh, no. It’s a statement about the ability to modify property and laws relating to that. Not sure who brought up murder.
The US shouldn’t allow prescription advertising in the first place. The practice of paying off doctors with travel, speaking engagements and ‘gifts’ needs to end too.
