I was replying directly to your post. You said you were playing devil’s advocate. I was saying, you don’t need to.

That’s why I said it might have something to do with who you’re around.

Mega corps like Nestle pay a fortune for whole PR departments to advocate for them- don’t do it for free.

Who would listen to him? He wouldn’t know if he was coming or going without observing red-shift or blue-shift.

Glad you mentioned ‘next of kin.’ This is the important answer. If you’re married, you can do all that important legal stuff- make medical decisions if your partner is unconscious or indisposed, get the death certificate if that happens and give it to all the people who will need it.

Say your partner is in a car accident and you go to the hospital. There’s no marriage, no forms, no nothing to indicate you’re at all related to this person. You’re just some dude or lady, showing up at some dude or lady’s bedside. You can’t make the decisions for this person. Even if, say, they have a horrible narcissistic mother they’re estranged from- that mother, just by being the mother, can get all the authority to make decisions your unconscious partner would hate!

(Drawing from my own life. Fuck my mother.)

You can’t even call the hospital and get information on them. If they aren’t awake to indicate a release of information, the hospital can’t let you see them, can’t tell you anything.

This is just the first example that came to mind. The purpose of marriage is, it’s a legal way to indicate that you’re the most important person in the life of the person you marry. (And yes, depending on where you are and laws in your state or country or whatever, domestic partnership and other stuff can grant that, too.)

This is so weird to me. Maybe it’s about who you are, or who you run with, but when I saw that Discord was about to go that way, I messaged my Pathfinder group and every single person there immediately hit me back with, “so where to next?”

Oh. I just figured they were all stimulants. And also I’m an anarchist so my concern for someone taking illegal drugs is independent of their legality.

The struggle is insanely real. If I take a nap now, no way will I sleep tonight.

They are for some people with ADHD!

Explaining what’s going on is the price you pay for free money.

I hear they just gave everyone on the Skyblivion mod team a copy of the remaster.

Me, too, but I for sure need to be trying to do the thing I want to do when it kicks in, or I’ll find myself doing something ridiculous because I can.

In my case it would be took my Adderall so I could do coursework and then-

Or the highest rated anyway. I posted it to ADHD memes, because I have ADHD and love memes.

ETA: I actually don’t have that reaction when someone doesn’t reply right away, but that’s because I once took 3 years to answer a friend and I try not to be a hypocrite.

“You need to learn this because you won’t always have a calculator on you!”

If you liked it enough, you could win another copy after you refined it by playing against the right people. I think there was only one card you couldn’t get back again, and all the rest were fair game.

Loved the fishing in FF15.

I loved Triple Triad, and loved the way it broke the game!

Shout out to all the hours I wasted soft resetting so I could eliminate the Random rule from Ellone. Honorable mention to the Laguna card, which refined into 100 Heroes and made every single fight after it complete child’s play.

Man, what a comeback story, No Man’s Sky!

I’m psyched for Light No Fire.

Here’s a link to the song “Pet” by A Perfect Circle.

Don’t know why your comment made me want to add this.
