A student spiked a teacher’s drink with acid. The morning of that day, the kid that got arrested told me he wanted to fight me after school for talking to a girl he liked.

I genuinely thought it was supposed to be a Jar Jar Binks oven mitt, but can find no evidence of such a product.

And powdered milk!

We had both in my house and referred to the powdered milk as “backup milk.”

Such a good series. It continues to weird me out that this is the same studio that went on to make Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor/War.

Yeah, the warp pipe Easter Egg was was sold me on this type of build. I really hope we get to see more non-minifig scale mocs that do this type of fan service. As I was putting it together I was trying to figure out what the hell I was building, and when it clicked? Oh man! I love showing the secret to guests.

On a similar note, the 25th anniversary Millennium Falcon has a few Easter eggs, but you only get to appreciate them during the build. Opening the Falcon up to take a peek isn’t an option.

What I didn’t realize about Columbo until watching it last year is that every episode is basically a full movie. There’s no connection between each episode, Columbo himself is the only recurring character. Each episode is an hour 10 to an hour 40 long. Also, it’s by FAR the best production and acting on TV in that era. It’s legitimately like almost 70 individual films.

As a game developer that has curated my mutual list of fellow developers, I’m saddened by the state of Twitter and genuinely have no alternative. A few folks have left for Threads, Mastodon, and BlueSky, but no community has coalesced on one platform. I would love to leave, but the fact is that if we want to communicate in a similar medium, we have to go where the people are. Right now, the people are still on Twitter.

Having just turned 43, I can tell you that I don’t think I became an adult until my early/mid 30s.

Whooaa

That blunt hand is fake, but they look stoned in the original photo as well.

Taking your initial post and this comment into consideration, you may be in a situation I find myself in (or I may be projecting, who knows). I started out with some regular ass depression and threw in what was originally some recreational weed consumption. After a while I found myself as a daily weed smoker. My partner seems to have a much different experience as a daily smoker than I do. For me it manifests itself as you are describing, just a lack of excitement about life. I feel like my weed hangover isn’t like an alcohol one, but rather it saps my motivation to do anything productive that I’m not being held accountable for. If I was also unemployed and unable to find a job, I’m sure it would be worse for me. At the moment, I’ve cut back on my consumption and am making it a point to only partake on weedkends. Pairing that with more exercise has worked well for me in the past, but I find it difficult to get in the exercise habit with that low level of motivated energy. Finding a form of exercise where you don’t notice the work you’re doing is also helpful. I don’t much like basketball, but a friend of mine invited me out to fuck around and shoot hoops with them. Probably the easiest time I had getting in some cardio without realizing it. Nowadays, I’ve got a rowing machine that I use while I watch streaming shows. I usually find my lust for life returning when I’ve put in the maintenance on the machine that is my body. It’s a lot easier to feel alive when you feel alive.

The fact that it is gonna be live action is what concerns me the most. I hope it’s live action in the style of the Netflix One Piece series and not the Bob Hoskin’s Super Mario Bros film.

Wait, it’s live service? Everything I’ve read has said the season passes were for post-launch DLC expansion content. Has there been leaks that I missed?

Not the highest monetary amount, but really well documented:

Naked & Famous is my favorite. It’s been described as the result of a Oaxacan love affair between The Last Word and a Paper Plane.

You’re referring to an older definition of that word. It’s been co-opted by gun loving, immigrant hating, misogynists. I miss the days of debates being about the issues you mention. I would love it if I could discuss exactly those topics with someone that has a different viewpoint. Instead the topics are so broad and extreme that we end up talking about whether or not it should be legal to tell kids that slavery existed and affected how people were legally considered until very recently. Segregation was deemed illegal within the lifetime of the majority of senators.

Christianity has a lovely core message that is no longer focused on. Instead individual references take center stage to help justify the restriction of rights of those who are other. The fact that we’ve rolled back Roe V Wade is insane.

What crank issues are there? My main complaint is that I can’t turn it off, so it just sits there slowly draining itself of battery. When I finally feel like playing it every couple of weeks, it always needs to be charged. And when you go to plug it in, you get no feedback that it’s actually charging until the battery gets enough power to turn on the screen, which takes up to 20 mins. By which time, I’m no longer in the mood to fiddle with it.
