Have they lost their mind?

Knights of the Old Republic.

I’d heard for many years how amazing they were, so I finally tried them.

Each game has a major plot twist. Both are obvious enough but if you google anything the spoiler in the first game is ruined.

The one in the second I was assured was a better game but apparently only if you download the unofficial patch that finishes the game, and it still can’t save the game from the obvious fucking fact you’ve been carrying around the BBEG since the goddamned beginning while everyone tried to pretend otherwise.

People want remakes of these games primarily for nostalgia, and they do not hold up.

Why u little… U’ll regret this move!

U twerp.

And what’s the word in German that means everything you just wrote?

Your thumb provides the resistance necessary for your finger to hit at the speed that it does.

Finger snapping is misleading. The sound does not come from your fingers moving against each other but from your middle finger hitting the meaty base of your thumb and ring finger.

Once I knew that it was much easier to snap my fingers. Hopefully that helps you too!

I would argue that it shows how blinded one can be by the demands placed upon us by capitalism. We think about the rewards more than the karmic costs, because it’s easy to think about what you got at Walmart but abstract how that’s undermined life all over.

Sure, but a corrupt government can fabricate evidence to keep their enemies silenced.

Look at Russia and their treatment of Alexei Navalny.

Actually the thought is if the government can just imprison you to stop your candidacy, they have too much power.

Thus they can continue to run.

I like the self expression they allow, but have never gotten a tattoo myself.

The reason? Money.

I cannot comprehend how so many young people afford their sleeve tattoos. (I know they’re usually done over time to spread out the cost but still.)

It meant my Dad never played Scrabble with my mom ever again, that’s what it meant.

Across two Triple Word tiles, no less.

Maybe you’re thinking of something along the lines of Bishop Berkeley’s Theory of Immaterialism.

Essentially, things only exist and continue to exist because we agree that they do and expect them to remain that way.

Also featured in the children’s book Mr. Radagast Makes an Unexpected Journey, which I adored when I was younger.

Antitrust? Pff.

How about crimes against humanity?

She was named Beta, a yellow lab who was housed with a yorkshire terrier, constantly yapping and nipping at her.

Eventually she snapped.

At the time the owner was pregnant so there was no way they could take the risk.

My wife and I adopted her because we already had another dog from the litter, her sister Violet. We renamed her to Veda.

Never had a problem. She growls softly when her lines are crossed but is otherwise a perfectly snuggly girl. Getting on in years but still with us.

I think it’s better to not look at it as good and evil but as joy and pain.

There will always be both joy and pain in the world. And there isn’t even a ‘balance’ between the two. Some experience more pain than joy. Some, more joy than pain.

Part of the trick is to learn to focus on the joy. The pain will be there and requires acknowledgment, not attention.

Nature gets brutal sometimes. One of my dogs once killed another dog, but she’s always been a total sweetheart to me.

Raccoons are cute, curious, critters with thumbs. They like to wash their food. They’re adorable!

But they are also wild creatures that will bite when scared and can carry dangerous diseases.

Nature gets brutal.

So they don’t give a fuck about security. Telcos print money and can afford it. Mandate they do so.

Yeah, it’s one of those cases where it seems like it’s a cliche until you find out that’s where the cliche came from!

(Wait, damn, it’s from the fanfiction, isn’t it? Damn expanded universes…)

Quick, everyone, spoil all media for OP!

I’ll start. The Bible doesn’t end well for that Jesus fella.

I’m not agreeing with him at all but that’s a strange jump to take.

I’d say that secondary sexual characteristics in women tend to involve body fat. Being in extremely good shape does affect that a little bit - breasts, hips, face, ass, - and some would see that as looking more masculine where I’d say they’re just extremely fit.

Somehow roundness and softness is ‘feminine.’
