oof what a night, finally heading home. I was down over 2/3s of my money at one point but I very slowly won it all back.

And reviews at the time didn’t like it!

Just posting while I wait for the table I’m card counting at to shuffle. I’ve been here over an hour and I’ve only seen negative shoes, had to wong out four times already, days like this are painful.

I did this and it worked: “I was self-employed as an IT contractor.” Just spin a tale of installing back of house computers and troubleshooting security cameras, they can’t check and there’s no-one for them to call because 90% of people doing that kind of work at the entry level do it on a gig economy basis and never interact with the people who hire them directly.

God, seeing that some of his alleged followers are super anti-masturbation

“What? No! If I wanted you to do that I would have made you like salmon or something! Crank those hogs and flick those beans, that’s why I put them there!”

I remember when I learned that the McDonald’s Monopoly grand prizes were being stolen by a cop and sold to a crime boss. From that day on I’ve assumed that any “random” giveaway not monitored by a reputable gaming commission is rigged.

for actual YEARS now, the audio on my PC setup has been missing the left channel. I thought it was because I was using a guitar amp for a speaker and just shrugged and used headphones when I needed them and lived with it when I didn’t. I just now found out that it’s because the instrument cable I’d been using to plug my speaker into my audio controller was only single channel, and replacing it with a dual-channel one solved the issue.

Exactly. They’ll say that the EU is communist because of Macron and that’s why we need to put tariffs on them.

Breaking: The US Military has been downgraded to the second most greenhouse-gas emitting US government institution.

I think it might be dumber than that. I think they might be referring to our backing of dictatorships as backing communism because they think communism is when dictator. If you asked them to specify they would probably say Saudi Arabia and shit.

It’s cold cuz I put ice in it, I put ice in it cuz cold water tastes better.

I think it’d go down like any other boxer vs MMA guy fight. Put them in a boxing ring and Ali wins, allow kicks and Mr Satan takes it.

Timberborn playthrough is going well.

All of the colleges militarized their campus security! Plus a bunch of the leaders of the last round of protests have been expelled and/or deported!

Every day I feel more validated in my “they don’t know what they’re doing so they’re doing a bunch of contradictory things” analysis.

What was “the war” in Pokemon? Lt Surge fought in it, and apparently Pokemon did too, but there hasn’t been any prequel game that explores it.

But here’s an interesting reading: so in early Pokemon content guns were a thing, but later on it was decided that guns don’t exist in the Pokeverse. This could be explained in-universe - perhaps guns were a common sight at one time, but they’ve faded out as the Pokeverse’s society has gotten more utopian. This can also be seen in the schemes of the Pokeverse’s organized crime - Giovanni and Team Rocket were up to some bad stuff, racketeering, gambling, poaching, but as you go forward in time the worst crimes committed by society’s anti-social element are tagging and petty larceny.

Could it be that “the war” was the final war, and Lt Surge was a member of the People’s Army that finally defeated the bourgeoisie, allowing for the creation of utopian post-capitalist societies where lotteries are held just for fun, kids can go on cross-country trips unsupervised, and the only vestige of currency is play money paid out just for participating in society and used to buy non-essential things because all of the necessities of life are distributed for free?

It’s not impossible!
