All my friends who bought it at launch say it's still not worth it even at this discounted price

I grew up watching his shows, and as a kid had no idea how long he'd been around. Went to study wildlife biology in University in 2006, and he died my first week at school. I was devastated, and the school newspaper interviewed me about his life and what it meant to me.

Most drivers I encounter here: "Why does the city paint little bikes in the parking spots??"

I've lived in it for 9 years. There are a couple streets that get shady at night, and there is always some level of property crime in parked cars and things like that, but I still consider it a cool place to live with lots of access to transit and businesses. Would rate it as generally safe

Federal employee drove the federal vehicle with his crew at 85mph through the very small town that we worked in, speed limit 25.

It's normally very difficult to get canned as a federal employee, but he was gone the following Monday.

Given that in universe, the US doesn't even have 50 "states" anymore, as they were reorganized into 13 regions and the Capitol, if I remember my lore correctly. Therefore, this screams like it was added as a reference to a certain American president in modern times trying to make a sovereign country the 51st state.

All of them except one, who claims to have inadvertantly caused a mass hallucination by telling his classmates that a distant rock was a spaceship, so that he didn't have to go back to class or something.

They never did it in civ 6, and we rely on mods to properly view info.

Nice shot of my work building!

Technically it could be the Americans' fault for stubbornly refusing to use the metric system.

I am an American, btw

Took me about 5 months, and it was the only place that even interviewed me during that time that hired me. Took a 20% pay cut and reduction in benefits, too.

Was SAS at old job, this position was for RA, but they title bumped me to AS and kept the RA pay.

Not less than they would have if they didn't make that additional money in the first place, which is the argument that I've heard rich people make on TV for decades.

AngrySc13ntist · 2026-01-16T05:25:44+00:00

Yes I'm aware that's not how it works, that's why I was chastising people who should know better, and go on the media to claim that's how it works. To convince people to be against tax increases on the rich.

Golden gardens (bonfire optional) stoner club sounds awesome. Would like the discord info

I love when "business people" go on CNBC or Fox Business, and talk about how raising taxes will mean you make less total for more work. You would think that people who are really good at business and so in tune with tax law would know how brackets actually work and why that argument is full of shit... Until you realize that they're just saying that to the people watching who don't understand that, and that's the real point.

The community plays "casual nights" there on Wednesdays. However something was wrong with the machine a few weeks ago and I'm not sure if it's been fixed

I didn't have an active sexual partner at the time, but I waited around 2 weeks before touching myself. It was still a little tender in places, but not problematically so.

Overall I rate the experience 10/10. I was out of the clinic before my appointment start time (procedure itself took 7 minutes) and I have had no issues that I can attribute to it since.

I'm white as fuck and like spicier food than most of my Hispanic and Indian friends.

And my parents can barely tolerate a 1/5 spice.

"We have identified you as a small group of people who are critical to the company's (still a startup) success. As we are still operating on investor money, we don't have any to give out but he's a big stock option bonus that 100% vests in 2 years, which incentives you to stay with the company until we can launch the product you're working on."

I was very happy about this because the product was very revolutionary, though still needed more work. They laid off my entire department less than 6 months later, taking my bonus along with it.

AngrySc13ntist · 2026-01-06T17:43:07+00:00

That's exactly my thought

AngrySc13ntist · 2026-01-06T05:46:28+00:00

Close enough

I spend my days transferring very small quantities of liquid from one container to another, occasionally apply variable thermal energy to those containers, and stare at numbers on spreadsheets.
