I was kinda hoping that in the current era, political scandals would get a new suffix. Watergate happened 50 years ago, so popular first-hand memory of it is waning.

There was a moment when I thought we could transition to [scandal]-a-lago, but it never happened.

I’d probably still be at the emerald grove if they hadn’t limited the number of Scratch’s pets per interaction.

PET THE GODDAMN DOG.

That’s why they invented pass without trace.

Two of the derailed cars were carrying molten sulfur, which caught fire after the cars were breached… it is believed that the fire is releasing sulfer dioxide

Sulfer dioxide is pretty nasty on a person’s throat and sinuses to breathe and can make fluid build up in the lungs, and it can have longer-term effects if the exposure is sustained.

A little molten sulfur never hurt anybody!

Decent quality automatic cat feeders.

We have 3 cats, and I resisted getting autofeeders for 5 years because it felt silly to buy what amounts to three $75 food bowls.

They paid for themselves the first weekend I didn’t have 3 razor sharp dickheads screaming at me to feed them at 5:15 AM. I should have bought them years ago.

We’ve done that for 70 or 80 years. Like the saying goes, “do what you love, and you’ll eventually become a global hegemon, weilding your influence like a club and keeping your boot on the neck of the majority of the planet, both economically and militarily.”

Mom always said that.

I wonder how much difference one Stinger SAM would have made at Blair Mountain in 1921.

If they wanted me to read about their scam, they shouldn’t describe it over a stressful image of red wine and an open flame resting on a 1x6 on a beige couch.

This is an urban legend and shame on OP for perpetuating it. The only verifiable instances of open source operating systems found in Halloween candy were installed by the children’s parents themselves.

What is “plan?”

Vanguard says they can thank the retirement industry for that.

My mom got me this “protection” charm from a woo-ass lady at a farmer’s market once. It was cool looking, so I wore it on a tight necklace that couldn’t slip over my head, and I never took it off.

A couple years later, I was in a nasty rollover car accident that could easily have killed me. I walked away only mildly banged up. I realized later that day that the necklace was gone. I scoured the car and even went to the crash site looking for it. Never saw the thing again.

I do touchless, and I don’t bother with anything beyond the basic wash option. That tricolor foam stuff looks fun while you’re in there, but idk how much good it actually does.

I don’t care about my car looking shiny and clean, but I’ve driven hail cars exclusively for the last 15ish years. I try keeping them rinsed off at all times to avoid anything gnarly festering in paint cracks or whatever. Every third or fourth fill-up, I’ll run the car through the cheap $8-10 touchless wash, even (especially) during Minnesota winters.

I think hand-washing is the only way to go if we want our cars clean looking, but who am I trying to impress, you know?

Fun fact! My first dnd character was an unwitting champion of Sune.

He was a gangster who primarily worked security in brothels before getting forced into adventuring. My DM reasoned that protecting sex workers by actively doing violence against Johns and shitty pimps meant he had protected more of Sune’s devotees than many of her paladins.

I only learned that because she saved me from a final failed death roll for just enough time to extract some narratively satisfying revenge. Then he got a killer epilogue.

RIP Robert, you legendary son of a bitch.

Paths of Glory is 10/10 stuff. So good.

I didn’t see your Timecrimes rec before posting mine. It’s so well done & I want everyone to see it!
