The ship is far from sinking, and not recognizing that we're stuck with Trump until he dies is wishful thinking.

I liked a lot of things better before Trump became president again.

This happened to a friend of my dad. The bullet deflected and just kind of did a crude lobotomy. Lived for 20-some years after that.

No thank you.

Yeah, imagine my shock and disappointment when encountering such limitations signing up for credit monitoring (by one of the big 3). It's not enough that my employer has a breach, no. But also finding out that one of the big players has some ridiculous 12 character alphanumeric password restriction. Absolute dogshit.

I'm not a huge fan of the Warriors format, but I had a good enough time with AoC. Some of the cut scenes gave me chills. I'm a little fuzzy about the DLC. I got it, and enjoyed it (don't think I finished all of it), but I'm not sure I'd call it crucial. It's just more game. It's gone on sale a handful of times for the patient gamers out there. I'd wait until you're done with the core game before trying to decide. If you're still flowing, go for it. If you've had enough, let it be.

Been kinda wanting to pick it back up since Age of Imprisonment was revealed.

I am having flashbacks to the days of having the HG EW "Fighting Action" kits lined up on my TV lol. Except instead of the sturdy Action Base 4/5 hexes, they were all on dinky AB2s, prone to falling over. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

I love Origin's take on Grandpa. Just the right amount of greebles and added detail. Great job on the linework!

It's a primary, vot for something, you'll never have to hold your nose in a primary.

It's a nice notion and all, but in far too many locations, people have to vote strategically even in the primary. Very specific example: my state has a gubernatorial election coming up this year. Red and blue primaries are loaded. One of the blue candidates is a lapdog for the state ~~mob boss~~ power broker. Another blue candidate is a sleazeball with money to have been running conservative talking point ads for the past two months. The rest of the field is a mix of middle of the road types and various levels of progressive. At least some of them are there to split the vote, which is historically what the ~~mob boss~~ power broker has done to protect his people (like, say, his little brother) from getting primaried once entrenched. Whoever survives the primary is likely going to do so with only ~30-40% of the vote. If I vote by platform, it's effectively tossing my vote away. The only chance at avoiding the sleazeball or lap dog is everyone unifying behind some other (likely) moderate. Failing that, the governor's race is going to mirror the presidential, with someone at best unlikable vs whatever the conservative grift machine turns out.

And in other more local races, the primary is the election. Shit is that deeply embedded here. Being in a solid blue district has its upshots. Fair and open primaries aren't one of them.

Please don't. There's plenty of perfectly good electronics that can be ripped out and re-purposed, which will just release toxic fumes if burned.

Just hose everything down with a little salt water and let chemistry work its magic.

Love the blue.

 

Leaned my car seat back and realized I had an unexpected visitor. I believe it's a familiar jumping spider. Not sure when or how it got in but there's not much to eat in here.

Our lunches are similar in that regard 🫥

There's a shovel around here somewhere. Keep your cool. Bury him deep.

Nobody will know.
