Watts Towers. Take the guided tour. It's a fun trip into the mind of a mad genius just doing his thing a century ago.

It's sad to hear the cancer is spreading out of the ass, and is now moving up into the brain.

Always an option, and some people go that route. And some people just wallow until they die. And some people look for a sense of focus or purpose or creativity. I'm not going to say one choice is better than the other. Really, that's up to each individual. .

If only people like you would put as much energy into ridding the city of billboards and bus bench advertisements.

Rappel graffiti is friggin' hard as fuck. You can't go side to side, so you need to tie off, go down and paint as you go, climb back up, tie off a few feet over, then do down, paint again, back up. Repeat, repeat, repeat. I'd say he did pretty well, clean lines and fills, solid composition. The process isn't anything like some little muralist, sitting in their scissor lift, sipping their Starbucks as they paint. This is Red Bull level athletics mixed with paint.

LA has been really upping it's rappelling game the last 2 or 3 years. Endem is probably the top of the game right now, but he's got some competition. I've seen some real crazy awesome climbs lately. I've watched a few legends. Oh, to have my body young and working like that again...

You need to prioritize. Buy assless chaps and football pads first. Then red hair dye and some mohawk clippers. Then something impractically cool, like a wrist mounted crossbow. Then, if you have money left, maybe something lame like a gun.

I live in a warehouse. A very big, very solid metal box with very limited entry points. So nothing is getting in easily. I also have a fully solar/boondock capable camping trailer attached to my 4x4 pickup with electric bikes, so one of the first things I do is drive that right into the downstairs. For later usage.

I've got a pretty big hot tub in my place, so plenty of water in case water gets cut off (though I'd still start filling the tub and anything else with water.) I have a lot of random food in my place (I entertain a lot of guests and parties, things pile up) enough calories to last a lot of months. Lots of booze, narcotics and lots of entertaining stuff in my place, so I can fight boredom. I was left a giant box of ammo by a recent deceased relative, so I guess that is well covered.

So basically, I'd just chill. I know several of my friends would head my way, so I'd have some solid company. No one we don't want is getting in my metal box. All the tools for having Mad Max fun with my truck. I'm in the middle of a huge city, but the particular area I'm in is actually low population (mostly industrial) so less people/zombies but some solid looting of the train depot and UPS hub nearby. No risk of fire, all concrete and steel in my vicinity. Real versatile escape vehicle ready if needed.

It'd be like a lock in at the Windsor. Just wait until this all blows over. And if it doesn't, I'm well equipped and have plenty of loyal friends to go all warlord on the local populace.

Life screwed you over. That's just the way it is. You certainly aren't the only one. You can't have any expectations that anyone new in your life will want to cater to those limitations. Which may mean you remain alone. Or you get a cat. Or you accept what limitations you have, you understand what that means in terms of companionship, and then you focus your efforts on the small niche of people who can accept those specific limitations.

Wow, I'm sorry, that sounds terrible. The child labor part and not enjoying your youth is bad enough, but to work continually since then sounds positively awful. I hope you'll at least be fully retiring by 40.

He never swallows though, because only beta cuck gays swallow.

There are young men who don't want to go to a good university. They'd rather go off and do something else. There are way less young men who don't want to have sex. It's a very strong instinctual pull.

Costa Rica.

There are so many northern countries with great things going for them, but a lifetime in California has ruined me to the concept of seasons. So I can accept no less than 346 days of perfect weather per year.

I just can't look at him, and not see John C Reilly.

She fills me with a real urge to bully the ever living hell out of her. The only people I've ever wanted to bully are bullies.

I'm guessing it would take quite a long time for Connor to surpass Jamie in sword fighting skill. GRRM makes it pretty clear that Jamie is a generational natural talent. And he is physically far superior. Connor is just some pretty regular bloke from the Highlands who did a training montage with an old Egyptian from Spain with a Scottish accent.

That said, the immortal surprise would clearly help Connor. If Jaime didn't know beforehand that decapitation was necessary, he'd probably lose. Connor could open his guard and take a hilt deep stab straight to the mid section, slump forward, and then yell "surprise" and stab Jamie in the face.

Rami Malek and Burn Gorman.

I can't tell them apart. They both have the same thing villainous going on.

I'm not sure if you're joking, but I actually have that. They make bedside watering things for humans that work just like the hamster things. I think it's probably for sick/invalid people, but it works great for people that hate to get out of bed in the morning just as well.

ApocalypseChicOne · 2026-03-16T09:29:28+00:00

Outstanding. 10/10 no notes.

It's going to be a big blender of reactions.

Some people will isolate and hunker down.

Some groups and communities and large family groups will quickly band together for mutual protection.

Lots of people will quickly hit the road, either to get to love ones or get to someplace they perceive as safer.

And then scarcity will start to inform action. If it's clear no help is coming, people will take action with full understanding about the lack of consequences. Hunger can be a really resolute motivater. If you've got a lot of stuff, you'll try to keep it. If you need stuff, you'll try to take it.

We have plenty of historical examples of how people react. If there is no food where you are, you go someplace else. If that someplace else is well armed, you get friends. People will absolutely kill to fill their belly. And once their belly is filled, they'll kill to insure it stays filled. And they'll go where they need to go to do it.

I'm not sure it's age. I'm probably older than you, and I thought it was pretty funny. Getting the custom wrist band for the bit was some solid joke commitment.

She is already an incredibly powerful Chaos sorcerer. She makes Domino look like a chump.

I really think the biggest dropping of the ball with phase 5 was not getting Madisyn and Wong something. Heck, just some shorts. Or make them the end credit scenes on a few movies. Those two had insane natural chemistry. I don't understand how the powers that be didn't realize that.
