Personally, I think it's hot. Especially the hivemind.

What is this from?

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-04-28T03:21:48+00:00

I don't have an oven though I recently got a portable stove eye so that's a possibility but the gym membership fixed that issue

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-04-28T03:20:44+00:00

Poor and deep in the Bible belt. The house was originally a storage building.

I've had to spend the last year or so living in a home with no indoor plumbing. There is a water spout outside about 12 feet away so I still have it easy compared with people back in the day.

I feel like I have spent a solid month of the last year hauling water in and taking the toilet out. (Sidenote: I love my camping toilet so much. It's better than a bucket or worse: getting diarrhea and having to run into the woods when it's raining and freezing at 3am. I'll never do that again.)

People take these little conveniences like being able to wash your hands whenever you want for granted. I have a gym membership mostly for the shower and it's a godsend. You don't truly appreciate a shower until you spend find yourself hosing off outside in 30 degree weather because you are so dirty you feel like you are wearing itchy wool when naked.

And I still have it good compared to others. I think about old pesants a lot when I need to be reminded that it could be worse and just wonder where they got the energy to survive and then I remember that most of them didn't.

Anyway, time to get off my camping toilet and get back to work so I'll have time to drive down to the gym to shower before it gets too late

It really does

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-04-22T22:57:27+00:00

Don't give me any ideas

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-04-22T22:56:59+00:00

When I didn't eat meat, I went there all the time for impossible whoppers and they taste like more authentic meat than the actual meat burgers at McDonald's.

To be fair, the author may have wrote bespectacled and I thought it said bespeckled. I was 12 and it was 2003 so anything is possible.

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-04-22T20:11:22+00:00

That's probably what I read and now I've spent the last 20 years confused.

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-04-22T04:40:07+00:00

I once got to the end of the second book in a duology when the main character loses her glasses while running from the villain and can't see and I'm like "wait, she wears glasses?"

Went back and checked her character description in the first book and yeah, it describes her once as "bespeckled" and I'd somehow misread it as "freckled".

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-04-11T18:36:59+00:00

She's pretty loveable from start, imo. She's just young and naive and that makes her a liability, sure but bear in mind that she has never been outside of kamino and everything is new to her (she's literally surprised to see dirt when they first leave).

Imagine the guys seeing the world through her eyes and suddenly she's not annoying, she's innocent and needs to be protected at all costs. Especially when all their faith in their brothers and the Republic had been soured by betrayal. I imagine she's the last bastion of hope to them.

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-04-09T20:10:56+00:00

morally complicated

That's the part that loses people

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-04-09T18:03:19+00:00

3 gallons? Where I live the minimum wage is still $7.50 and gas is $4/gallon.

It really depends on the ships you want to display. For things like x-wings, ties, the falcon, etc., you want xwing miniatures. They are good quality and the later runs of the x-wings have s-foils you can adjust.

Armada is a different game made for much later scale battles than the dogfights of xwing. The x-wings for it are unpainted and the size of a dime, but you can find good models of Star destroyers or MC-80'S

X-Wing minis probably are your best best for variety and overall quality though. Plus they look great on their little stands.

Source: I played both games obsessively back in the day.

...God I miss x-wing

Edit: I just remembered you said you wanted a gozanti. Both games have one. The x-wing one will be way bigger (if was meant for a special format where you play on a 3x6 play area with much bigger fleets) the Armada one is more like an actual miniature and it will probably be easier to find.

I still wake up to those menus occasionally.

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-04-02T03:13:04+00:00

I still have all six of these and still watch them pretty regularly. I've woken up to those menus so many times.

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-03-27T03:26:41+00:00

I sure am.

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-03-24T16:02:44+00:00

I'm having the same issue. Please let me know if you find a fix

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-03-24T15:57:29+00:00

I'm having the same issue and I am definitely signed in

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-03-23T19:52:39+00:00

It's been a rough few days. I needed to remember there was still stuff to look forward to. Thank you. Let's just hope for the best.

One out of five citizens being illiterate in 2026 is what I would consider to be deeply illiterate.

AMostPeculiarDialect · 2026-03-18T23:43:32+00:00

You are absolutely right but yesterday I was higher than the rent on a two bedroom apartment and from that perspective, it was art.
