2024-02-12 11:30:14 +0000 UTCThe diatribe is amazing. Fucking destroys the bullshit study. I danced through fucking COVID because I was playing D&D and other roleplaying games online with friends. Hell I was streaming games minutes after finishing work remotely each day and connecting with strangers even. No religion, no god just people.

2024-02-08 23:12:49 +0000 UTCHeath, when I still lived in Manhattan, back in like 2012, my girlfriend and I took a weekend trip to Montauk. On our way out there we stopped in one of the Hamptons and went to use an ATM before lunch. The previous user left their receipt in the machine, and out of curiosity I looked at the available balance before throwing it away. This asshole had $19 MILLION dollars and change, in their CHECKING ACCOUNT! When you made that comment about how it's possible to have $80,000 in a checking account it reminded me of that.

2024-02-08 16:04:51 +0000 UTCOk, Noah's mention of lumens in the conclusion freaked me out! I was literally researching the new linear fluorescent lamp bans for 2025 and 2026. I work for a national retailer and am responsible for retrofits.

2024-02-08 16:02:25 +0000 UTCEli's idea just gets funnier the more I picture it. I can clearly see him listening intently to the instructions and faking a eureka moment when he "realizes" how to cheat the game.
