I just dont get how that James guy has a humongous VHS and DVD library (the size of a real video store) yet made a whole rant topic video about how much better streaming is better than Blu Ray. Well, maybe if you already have an average fidelity physical collection numbering in the thousands.

Got it, I own both the snes and mini snes and I get the old feeling of playing games on CRT. If your purpose was to play on CRT then I bid you good luck on finding the original snes in good condition. I think because of covid a lot of people have probably been reliving nostalgia while bored at home so prices may have gone up to compensate.

Those older retro gaming prices, they're not gonna go down. Only up. (Well, in the foreseeable future). Supply/demand plus we're now talking about people with nostalgia who are late young adult stage or already early middle age, which means they have real money to throw around at this point.

There were a handful that legit scared me back in the day.

It seems like Stine just arbitrarily decided to ratchet up the scare factor by a few degrees on some projects.

If you're talking about mostly built-up muscle mass, yeah, no doubt, it's pretty goddamn easy if you want to lose a significant amount of weight. But if you're talking a bulk mass of fat that you're trying to lose, you're going to need a massive diet change long term for possibly years. People can do that for a couple of weeks. But as time goes on, you'll see an increasing failure rate. To get off that last bit of fat that separates a truly fit person from average body type is definitely the toughest part though.

Gonna be honest, I only clean myself to the fullest extent and start dealing with bodywashes/conditioners/colognes in conjunction with bathing if I'm going to be dealing with complete strangers.

That's not realistic for a comfortable retirement. Unfortunately, it'd need to be quite a bit more than that. At least with the way things are going and have been, current younger gens will be in the poorhouse big time for about the last 2-3 decades of their lives, by and large of course.

Buddhism in a refined sense is agnostic. The religious aspect of it is real, sure, in this world, but its a bit of a misnomer. Although Eastern/Western religions are just at a hard disconnect in most respects.

Plenty, yeah. Im very picky about positions.

I always find it funny when I'm talking with older folks about stuff we both enjoy (I like a lot of older music, movies, tv, etc) it's always quite humorous when we veer off the subject of that and something newer. I do feel like older folks are more open to new things when they see you share some other common interests, instead of shooting those things down.

At least from what Ive seen, after a person turns 35-40, their legitimate hobbies/interests are near set in stone in terms of what they might be into. That can 100% include newer media, but it has to exactly align with their general interests.

I was thinking this but also, LGBTQ people are far less likely to get harassed in public then they used to be. The need for a safe space for lesbians in particular isn't as warranted as it once was.

Besides, gay bars are pretty niche even in the LGBTQ+ community.

My city has a whole area with blocks of gay bars. Id say theyre still very much a thing for gay dudes. And plenty of straight women go there too because they wont be getting approached by horndog straight dudes.

Been constantly annoyed by my job because I made a fairly minor mistake a few weeks ago but unfortunately it had to do with work for an outside client company so it was a big deal for me because it was kinda publicly embarrassing.

Mainly annoyed because I have veteran colleagues who should offer me safeguards against things like this happening but I dont think I was offered much guidance in this particular instance and now my work reputation has been tarnished somewhat for now. Meh, it will 9/10 likely return to normal for me in a couple weeks but right now its just always occupying my mind.

Like an actual good job? Try payroll accountant. But it still depends on the company. And you have to go through years of school first so Im guessing you dont wanna do that.

Part of it is cultural at this point in the US. And how kids are sectioned off to one sport from an early age. Most white dudes who could be actual NBA candidates are almost immediately funneled into the football/NFL slaughterhouse regimen. Getting into basketball is not even going to come up as a thought.

There is none now, you at best get another offer and try to get it matched or better. But at that point you may as well just take the other offer. Because youll always be labeled as troublesome from then on.

Anybody decrying European/western imperialism should just look to China/Japan etc in the last century plus to the East. You may as well be decrying humanity as a whole.

Christianity is a very well developed religion, despite the figure of Jesus being likely a superfluous person. Fact is, that doesnt matter, since Paul of Damascus largely got the religion off the ground anyway.

Tequila doesnt belong being included in the five major liquors. Its notable, but it far and away gets the least attention in the world of cocktails for a reason.

I think people who are obsessed with getting away and vacationing are some of the worst types. Might be time to look inward.

There's nothing wrong with casually pointing out that a really great looking dude is, in fact, a really great looking dude. But if you in general are more interested in guys, yeah, that's just what you're into. I'd easily say on average attractive women just stand out more in everyday life.

The one Ive gotten before is when we go out for a nightcap after our main date and she pays for drinks/snacks there. Has happened a couple times. Pretty dope. Sorry but as the dude you just gotta pay for the first encounter date 100% always. Even if she offers to split it.

As somebody thats flirted with that idea due to real life relationships, no, not for the relationship. It has to be tied to a sincere interest in their culture too.

Going to work on 2-3 hours sleep sober (as in, youre sober at bedtime) is about 10x worse than getting drunk and getting 5-6 hours of sleep. I chalk it up to some rem sleep but idk.

True that which is something you can work on. I still dont fully trust myself now a days even though Ive improved on it a ton. I plan for when I screw up just in case. At least now a days I only really need to plan for smaller things instead of the really big things.

Well, you said the exact opposite was a true statement earlier itt so youre flip flopping.

The only thing I hope survives from this pandemic is being able to work from home.

Get fucked corporations!

It wont because every company has a solid subset of employees that will play that shit out and not be responsive to texts/emails and be a good bit less productive. Some places will do work from home but there will be other factors, like paying for office space.

With liquor thats anything beyond absolute shit, the answer is always an absolute yes.

Most cocktail recipes are very easy to make with a basic bartender kit. The hard part can be tracking down all the right ingredients and giving a fuck.
