Said it before, I'll say it again: I wish Nintendo would go the way of Sega. Make video games, get outta the hardware game. They make good games, and while briefly I was enamored by the switch, their track record with consoles is hit and miss. I'm tired of buying new systems for Zelda, it's basically all I play on Nintendo (though, I'm not a big gamer, so probably not most representative example). Give us Nintendo games on PC, Xbox, PlayStation.

Honestly, with what I'm genuinely concerned is going to happen, that would probably be preferable. Give everyone some notice, and we can escape the nutjobs by being homeless in California and New York instead of concentrated in camps in Florida and Georgia. I mean, it'll inevitably make the blue state nation more conservative as they blame southern refugees for all their problems, but it'd still be better more than likely

I thought a grilldo was getting pegged at the barbecue?

Used to live across from a 711 that had hotdog shaped burger... Tubes or whatever you wanna call it. Basically this, except super uniform. Pretty sure it was extruded instead of formed or rolled or something.

They were not good lol

Yeah, my brother is an elder millennial (43), I'm 33. It's wild the different stories we were told about how our lives were going to be. If he hasn't gone into the military, I doubt he'd be any better off then I am, and I am... Not doing great, financially.

"there's coffee in that nebula"

They clearly allow it, whether or not most partake is another matter. I'm also not familiar with anything saying they don't allow alcohol, just that synthetic is a widely used alternative

It's not about productivity. If that were the real goal then the entire system would be structured radically differently, given what we know now through actual research. The real goal is ensuring that workers do not have ample time or energy to collectively organize. Make sure they don't have the time to even think about anything else, and you ensure they damn sure don't have the time to rebel. The other goal is ensuring there are a significant number of unemployed people in terrible enough conditions to make them desperate, but not so terrible that they are incapable of working. That way if s few stray workers get a bug up their ass about organizing and striking, there's a reserve army of labor in the homeless and unemployed communities that can step in and scab.

Wait, is goober slang for vagina somewhere? In the us south it's just peanuts, and occasionally a kid friendly term for a silly person. I can imagine it being used as a term for a penis and/or balls, but ive never personally heard it.

In my experience, look for explicitly communist and anarchist places to find similar experiences

Huh! Thanks for the info, I did not realize!

I lost my cat of 16 years at the end of last year. I'd had him longer than I hadn't. He was the coolest dude, a highland lynx. A major goofball with zero balance, and all the chill. I still routinely see him lounging somewhere out of the corner of my eye, only to realize it's a random bag or something. Breaks my heart every time. Same with all the pets I've lost over the years. They're special in a way that non animal people will never be able to understand
