Black cats are such cuties.

Shit like this is why we cannot be trusted with death penalty. The day we execute an innocent person, we all get blood on our hands.

As a local bloke, this whole sitch is pretty much the one sour point of Walz's run. And like, I try to be reasonable, and I WOULD NOT want to be in his shoes during those protests. Yes, some of us got quite out of hand, but we were understandably quite cross with the fact that while we're trying to survive a pandemic, we're still getting lynched over allegedly bad bills -- which is royally fucked all day ever day.

Hard to know what would have even been a better path forward. MPD famously has many critics, with good reason. But it got out of hand with the friendly fire and collateral damages. Pretty damned on both sides of the coin. Letting Trump roll in goon squads would no doubt be even worse. Saw plenty peaceful protests get agitated by 12 until it became chaos. That summer was fucked.

Juuust a wee ramble from a dude who recalls the cop riots, brutality, and flames like they were just the other summer...

I got into a fender bender with someone I knew from college. Spun out on ice so we meet front to front when we bumped. Once the cars stopped I swear we both practically did the cartoon eye rub of disbelief lolol.

Not mine but old school crew story. Couple of lads bumped into each other in a bar in Europe - we from the States. Neither knew the other was traveling. Heard a distinct laugh across the pub and rest is history.

Crikey, well ain't she a beaut?!

Hand doesn't look red tho

Still ought to visit Uncle & Aunt who currently reside there, but yeah news of dwindling numbers is a bummer for sure...

Truly magical critters. Used to be at Gran's farm as a kid and catch em in your hands. Fields were just covered in em. Great memories.

Haven't been back in ages... I wonder how it's looking these days.

Still on a pretty old Galaxy 9, been putting off the upgrade forever. Not even sure what the cool kids are using these days. Need to hit that research phase a bit

Likely sound like cranky old man but I'll be catching phones with a jack as long as I can! Not mad about having the option for wireless, but I'm a bit of a purist.

Plus once in a blue moon I'll DJ without Wi-Fi and use the phone to pull up a tune I don't have in my physical storage. Much harder to do that without 3.5mm jack.

Oh, I fully acknowledge this sucks. Juuust as frustrated as anybody, friend.

So much reasonable discourse in these comments.

You somehow think "orange man" would be less into genocide? Genuinely? How???

Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out. Like, obviously want to see people earn more, but if both companies pull out these drivers will definitely be earning less, least until they figure out sum'm else.

Ripperoni in peace. :C

You're kidding, how did that escape me?!

I'm pretty guilty of forgetting to check anything other than pizza on their menu, but still!

Thanks for the heads up!

Begrudgingly picked this up when a bunch of buddies did. Have not touched once since Baldur's Gate 3 fully dropped. Honestly, kinda doubt I'll go back.

It was.. fine. Hard to know if I'm just over the isometric dungeon crawler or if it just failed to captivate me otherwise. That new Path of Exile looks kinda sick. Might test the theory on that.

Anybody still having fun on Diablo?

It's a combination of a few things. I've always been fairly chill, and I think these factors help further that zen.

Having a potent sense of humor makes it easy to laugh off anything from mundane to tragic. Always preferred to "laugh, so I don't cry." Easily my biggest coping mechanism.

Another good method I heard was this perspective exercise. When something irks you, stop and think "will I still be upset about this a week from now, month from now, year from now?" Usually the answer is no, I'll have completely forgotten about this mild inconvenience. If it's something I'll be upset about a year out, then I'm justified being upset in the moment.

Finally, another tool of perspective is the cosmic absurdity of it all. Here we are, sharing this tiny mossy pebble of a space ship called Earth, in the middle of the goddamn boondocks of outer space. If this entire planet disappeared overnight, the universe at large wouldn't even notice. For an inconceivable distance in every direction is a cosmic lifeless void. In the absolute grand scheme of things, all these little grievances are so insignificant. It's insane that any of us are here. We'll return to infinite nothingness soon enough. Take a deep breath, enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Idk maybe hit a joint once in a while too lol

Had to reset my password and login on compy browser just to leave this comment. :/ Something definitely a bit wonky on Jerby.

Shit is concerning for sure.. hate watching the growing number of folks urban camping. Those going through the toughest times and they keep getting kicked while they're down. It's about to get very cold here too.
