Dropout TV

I dont think any other streaming service I pay for comes even close in terms of value.

Almost nothing came from the Occupy movement, as well. And from Bernie Sanders campaigns. But these movements are like small waves of a growing tide.

As Lenin said, There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.

Generally speaking, it most often means they are fine with either she/her or they/them.

But it usually doesnt hurt to ask, as some people are either genderfluid, or have specific circumstances where one is preferred over the other.

10/10 one of the best games overall of all time, and very possibly the best-written game of all time

They seem to be suffering under the delusion that grooming is some sort of legal term that can only be applied when it is done to minors.

They are scalpers, but for housing

Wait til you hear about Kelsey Grammers babysitter

No. This topic is fucking stupid.

Its not that uncommon I think, depending where you live. When I was growing up in Pennsylvania it was always a general rule that no matter how warm it got in March there would be at least one small snowstorm after my birthday, which is in early April.

Its a game I played for an hour or so, didnt think I liked very much, put away for a long time, then finally dusted off and gave another chance. The second time around, something clicked and I loved it, and spent a lot of time with it.

Its far from perfect, but it is definitely worth a playthrough.

Doe-eyed?

She was 21/22, I was 26/27. I was a bit uncomfortable with the age gap at the beginning, but it didnt end up being too big of an issue (compared to the other issues our relationship had).

Its a great show. Probably in my top 10 in the past five years.

Yeah shes probably cool as hell

My current favorite place has great al pastor tacos, so Ill go with that.

Ive put I think at least 20 hours into the game so I think I can weigh in on it:

The main gameplay loop is very, very repetitive. There are a bit more than a dozen types of crime activities for you to stop, which seems like a fair amount at first, but you tend to stop between 6-10 crimes every single gameplay loop, so they tend to get stale fast.

Each of the characters having different strengths and play styles is nice, they all feel unique and suited for different things. But the controls sometimes feel clunky, and definitely not as fluid as the Arkham games.

The story is alright? Ill reserve judgment since I havent bothered to finish the game yet. The story missions themselves are fun enough, though. Its just the getting to them via the standard got out for a night on patrol gameplay loop becomes a slog.

I think honestly its a fine game, it just feels very games as a service at times and that rubs people the wrong way, especially when we have the Arkham series to look back on for comparison.

I wasnt overly impressed with it, especially compared to getting, say, an actual Auntie Anns pretzel.

that sucks

Still testing positive but Im already feeling much better. Fevers have all but stopped and the congestion is noticeably better (but not gone completely). The cough is still hanging around and my throat feels like Ive been swallowing shards of glass, but its still preferable to how I was doing on Saturday/Sunday/Monday.

I had it for exactly one day over Memorial Day (I forget when, though, may have been 2022). I was okay by the next day but then I had this cough that kept persisting afterwards, it was strange.

I was genuinely surprised my test came back positive because I havent had much of a cough at all, and thats usually the main symptom.

Atta boy, champ! You show that covid who's boss now!

Im giving it my all. Gonna call my doctor tomorrow to see if he thinks I should be taking Paxlovid or something.

I haven't ever had it yet. Hope not to get it. Haven't been sick at all since 2019. I don't get sick often but when I do get sick it knocks me on my ass usually.

Ive been pretty careful to avoid it (masking most places, etc) so Im not even sure where or how I got it.

I'm afraid for this day. I'm still one of the incredibly small % left that hasn't caught it yet. I work from home so I usually don't need to risk it. Even in grocery stores, I get to go when there aren't that many ppl so

But one day it really might just happen

Im pretty sure I was the last person I know personally who hadnt caught it yet. I was also hopeful that Id just be able to avoid it forever, but no dice.

How are your symptoms?

I just got it for the first time this past week.

Not terrible, but definitely not enjoyable. Worse than a regular cold/flu. Mostly lots of congestion and sinus pressure, with periods of fever. Not much coughing so far, although my throat is very sore from post-nasal drip. Feeling pretty lethargic overall.

Covid.

0/10, would not recommend

Probably doesn't give a shit, it's all for show.

It's still a thing? I got fined last year

They reduced the penalty to $0 in 2019 so I dunno what you were paying but it wasnt the Obamacare fine.

Vine could always just actually come back. Tiktok is pushing longer, horizontal videos now, and is riddled with ads and the userbase would probably gladly flock to any platform that doesnt abandon the ten second funny videos that you mindlessly scroll through formula.

Got a name?

H.E.R.

Might be the worst decision making Ive ever seen out of Mahomes right there.

I enjoyed it well enough, but its not a game I really think about beyond my original playthrough, and it isnt anywhere near the top of the list of games Id be excited about revisiting.

Shut the fuck up

One of my favorite moments in internet history was when Wil tried to join Mastodon and a trans woman (Mira Bellweather, RIP) bofa'd him so hard that he made a blog post swearing he was quitting social media altogether. He sucks so bad.

That said, I don't get what Larry was trying to do here. Seemed pointless and stupid.

If they want to make an animated series based off of Beauty and the Beast, 18th century France is suddenly going to have larger Black and Asian populations because, "If magic beasts and talking teacups can exist, why can't they?" If Belle's best friend is Asian and the royal captain of the guard is Black, I could still accept that this is 18th century France through an idyllic lens. But if you reimagine it so that ethnic French people make up less than 50% of the cast, you might as well set the story in Middle Earth, Eternia, or Hyrule. "French" is an architecture and not an ethnicity.

Things that existed in 18th century France, apparently:

Black people
A magical castle filled with servants who have been turned into talking furniture
Asian people
A prince who was cursed by a witch to turn into a hideous beast unless he can find true love before the last petal falls from his magical rose
A whole town of people who regularly break out into song, in perfect American English, with no accents

Am I getting this right?

Depends on the weather, and what food you bring, but they can be plenty of fun

I found the show as a whole to be disappointing, but there wasnt anything particularly bad about the finale.

It would have been 2004, I think. I had gotten a summer job at a place I couldnt bike to and didnt have my license, so my parents agreed I could get one to make sure I had rides when I needed them (usually from coworkers). I got my own checking account that summer, too.

I feel you haven't been paying attention if you don't think some of these people are genocidal too.

Yeah, I feel like we dont want genocide, just a good old fashioned ethnic cleansing! isnt really the best argument for differentiating yourself from Nazis. Especially given that the original Nazis started off by saying the exact same thingthey only turned to the Final Solition of systematic mass killing after they realized that expelling that many people from Europe would not be logistically feasible.

I mean its definitely a list of things, I will give it that. But as the poster above pointed out, a lot of them are just proposals, which, as we saw with the student loan cancellation attempt, dont necessarily mean that anything will actually come of them. Granted, without support from Congress theres a limit to what a president can actually do aside from executive orders and administrative proposals, but it seems a bit credulous to simply give him the W for putting out proposals that might never actually live to see any sort of implementation.

Also some of them are contradictory (renewable energy growing to the #2 source, but also oil production the highest its ever been).

Also some of them contain just straight up liesthe bit about the Congo, for example, mentions China supporting the M23 rebels with drones, when most recent reporting shows that China sold attack drones to the DRC, not to the rebels (although there are reports from earlier in 2022 about rebels being captured with Chinese-made weapons, its unclear that China is tied directly to those as they sell weapons to many African nations). Also, and I admit this isnt actually relevant to the point of the article in terms of listing Bidens accomplishments, but the whole framing of the ongoing genocide, enslavement, and displacement of the Congolese people suffering under the conflict as a cobalt crisis is pretty gross to me, personally. Like a humanitarian crisis is mentioned, but the focus in on our posturing vs China over rights to the mineral resources.

And some of them are so minuscule they hardly seem worth mentioning. The extension for telehealth prescriptions for controlled drugs only lasts until the end of this year, so its a win but ultimately just kicks the can down the road a little.

Thats not to say the list is complete bullshit, though. But its definitely being padded with a lot of fluff.

I hadnt considered that being a factor, but it makes a lot of sense, given how much back pain most larger-chested women I know suffer from.
