I think some of the fights just started feeling extra stupid. In particular I’m thinking of the multiple smiths in the park and the final one with him in the rain.

If the 3rd is mid at least the 2019 one is comparable

simple carbs from rice, noodles, and high sugar sauces in a lot of takeout-style Chinese food gets digested quickly

I always thought it was because of the high salt content, and possibly how “spicy” Americanized Chinese food tasted to the palates of whichever decade first made that joke (50s?). With a lot of salt and spice you’re drinking way more water than you normally would, causing you to feel full quicker.

Anecdotally when I eat a big bowl of ramen it’s pretty much all simple carbs and it keeps me feeling full for about two meals’ worth.

The US just pretends to be against it due to puritanical traditions. In reality we keep guns legal so people can blow their own brains out when they get fucked by late stage capitalism. Suicide is the majority vs murder when it comes to gun deaths.

You don’t hear bleed used as a transitive verb (with an object) as much anymore with actual blood since they stopped using leeches in medicine, but it’s still commonly used for other situations. You can bleed fluid from a hydraulic line, for example.

Yeah, and does bluegrass count as country? Because some people can absolutely shred on the banjo

If you don’t talk about LGBT drugs violence Canadians mental health it doesn’t exist. Won’t someone please think of the children?! Let’s keep the internet safe for everyone. I’m starting a petition to remove any content not safe for anyone over 5. Please limit any naughty words to p*opy or d*rn.

IIRC it was that anything like ray bans were identical to cheap UV blockers, but there’s a tier at about a hundred bucks (or maybe 150) that use a different method for applying the coating to the lens so that it lasts longer. I think it was in the buy it for life sub bc I get the cheap ones and the lenses don’t last very long for me (as in they get scuffed up despite the fact that I put them back in the case every time I wear them).

I’ll see if I can find the thread when I have time later

It’s just a game, but we’re gonna put it in EVERYTHING! Play our game peasants!

Aw yeah, that’s some quality rim lighting

Spending all your time on there instead of working must put you in a lowtax bracket

Common Core everything in general is pretty solid. You know how people like to complain about critical thinking not being taught in schools? Well CC English classes at the end of HS are all goals like finding textual evidence to support an opinion, or distinguishing between stated text and actual meaning (vis a vis satire, irony, etc).

The real problem is underfunded schools not having the resources to address student needs, not the teaching aims themselves. Imagine if every classroom maxed out at 15 students, just for one simple thing we could do to start fixing shit.

Here are CC standards for 11-12 grade reading and writing

I dunno the series and the picture quality isn’t great, but it looks like there are duplicates of the same book several times in there. As far as I could see from the wiki page, there are 64 books listed and only one (The End of Death) has the same title for a 3 volume series. Yet in the picture there are multiple copies of First Heretic, Outcast Dead, Tales of Heresy, etc.

I used to use arrows plus zx to strafe in doom. One strafe key felt limited in wolfenstein

I wonder if they can pay once for it or if it’s subscription

willywacks

This is a great word. Reminds me of cattywampus.

You should check into the doom modding community. I don’t tend to play many rpg style wads but I know they’re out there. Some use the doom engine but the game is pretty much unrecognizable as doom (called total conversion wads). Here’s one article with a list.

One called Hedon got an official release and is on steam etc now

They also make some hexen levels (I saw Wrath of Cronos being recommended).

Not sure if the prices used to be less ridiculous but: https://www.usmint.gov/paper-currency/uncut-currency/

He buys (or used to anyway) sheets of $2 bills from the treasury,cuts them himself, and puts them together into a little packet. Then in tipping situations he’ll peel off a wad, just to see peoples reactions for the lolz

There’s no way Australia counts as the same continent as Afroeurasia, and Antarctica is a landmass (unlike the Arctic ice). 4 continents minimum.
