Nah, some people keep living to easily disprove the existence of a caring god.

The people supporting them are the ones who consider themselves religious, after all.

Also, same question, but with the baby.

How are you both this ambivalent about having a child in 2025??

It reminds me of flash when it first gained popularity.

“Please enable flash so you can see our unnecessary intro animation and flash-based interface” at, like, half of local restaurant websites

They couldn’t find anyone who wanted to release it. This article from 2024 quotes a producer who says it’s “unreleasable” because of how violent it is, and it would probably go straight to VOD.

Obviously it wasn’t unreleasable, but it seems clear they couldn’t find a distributor for a while.

I think it started a few decades ago. My stepdad insisted on being buried in a national military cemetery.

He was stationed in Germany during the army and loved it. He only had good or fun stories to tell about his time in the military in the early 1960s.

He met a conservative German woman, brought her home, married her. Kinda learned to think Hitler wasn’t all bad through her and her family. He got a job because of his military service, which paid him well and gave him a pension when he retired.

He loved Trump, starting with the birther conspiracies and carrying through The Apprentice. I’ve never seen him happier than when Trump won.

He insisted on being buried in a national military cemetery because of his 4 years of international vacation fixing trucks.

Meanwhile, the previous generation of my own family lived through the Great Depression and fought in world war 2, and they’re buried with their families.

It’s a different kind of stolen valor.

I actually just saw megoosa at Gen Con last weekend!

I forgot about it until just now! Thank you for the reminder.

This is really helpful! I don’t hate FF14 but it feels like a lot of busywork and I don’t think I’ve ever made it out of the vanilla game.

I actually just started playing Fallout 4 for the first time and only put an hour into it so far because I get eye strain. But a friend of mine is interested in the tabletop RPG so I thought I’d look at the game’s vibe as well.

I installed a bunch of QOL mods and whatnot using Wabbajack.

It’s honestly really surprising. Did this game employ people for a decade??
