I was disappointed when I saw that there are few roads in the game (my expectations were far too high). I was hoping for, idk, 70% of roads? Really, some sort of driving game using google maps data would be pretty awesome, if a nightmare to process all the images. Hmm, data storage would be an issue too… streaming would be too slow (I think).

I’ve spent more time in minecraft and terraria (and skylim, released in 2011, which I last played in 2023) than I have in any other games, and those aren’t exactly what I’d call “premium”. I’d agree that more than money needs to be poured into a game to make it good.

My partner and I point out when the other uses an uncommon word. Exercising your vocabulary should be encouraged!

Coastal area checking in, same thing for the tsunami alarms. I had some good fun with a tourist when, after they asked what the droning sound was, I replied with “Oh, it’s just the tsunami alarm” and then didn’t react to it. They were visibly nervous, so I waited a sec and then said “It’s just a test 😁”

I feel like he is closer to the norm than we think. We should all strive to be like that, rather than relegating it to random chance. We should also demand more of our leaders.

Isn’t there a warrant for his arrest through the ICC? Does the U.S. not honor that?

If you have some spare time, you might try visiting an animal shelter, just to give the animals there some playtime and affection. We are much longer-lived than our pets, and it’s our responsibility to make sure they have the best lives possible. I bet you did that for your kitty, and they were thankful for it.

Speaking as someone with anxiety, try not to predict what others feel. You’re likely going to be wrong, and never in a good way. It’s not your responsibility to guess what others are feeling, it’s their responsibility to tell you. Always assume the most neutral opinion from others, and only change that if they say otherwise.

If you need to stay alone to recuperate, then go all-in on it. Let your friends know that you had a bout of anxiety. If you’re worried about them being upset, then not giving them a reason won’t help that.

I wish you the best, and please ask if you have any questions that I might be able to help with.

“You blow, Jobs, you arrogant prick. With your second-hand jeans and your turtleneck.”

It’s not the lighter’s fault if someone uses it to burn down a forest. Especially if the lighter is yelling the whole time that it’s a bad idea to burn down the forest!

This guy is the best!

Hey, I’ll give it a shot. With how many hours I’ve poured into Runescape over the last… 17 years? Damn, it’s been a while. Anyway, with all that time, even if this game was 1/10 the level of fun, it’ll still be a great time for me.

And what, two or three of those were casinos? Anyone who’s worked in one can tell you how hard it is to do that. They absolutely PRINT money. It would be impressive, if he wasn’t running the country in the same way.

Water vapor has a greenhouse effect for the planet, so this is another bad thing we’ve created with plastic.

If I had to guess, I’d say that others wouldn’t have gotten a red carpet at all. It doesn’t exactly serve a function, and I’ve never heard of anyone receiving one.

After looking it up, though, it appears that “Heads of State” use them on “ceremonial and formal occasions”. Wiki link here.

Edit: Barack Obama was photographed with a large red carpet going down the length of Air Force One’s stairs. The one for Rubio is miniscule in comparison.

Rick: “You know, Mr. President, the more you use that word, the less impact it has. At this point, it’s like a terrorist is just a guy you don’t like.”

Pres: “Shut up, you terrorist!”

This is from memory, so isn’t gonna be fully accurate. Ah well.

Oh wow, I just realized that they could put an AI in office if Trump were to die, and the only way it could be found out is by lack of typos and correct grammar.

I miss my Zune. It had a great trackpad for scrolling. I had the 8gb model that was about the size of a granola bar. It felt like amazing, futuristic tech!
