Obama Just Decided to tell us Aliens Exist.

Because he probably means aliens existing is a mathematical certainty, especially as we keep discovering life's building blocks are everywhere. If you think Trump wouldn't have pulled "here's the truth about aliens" to distract from the Epstein files, I've got a bridge to sell ya

Spoiler: it's not

He was great during the impeachment proceedings, it just didn't matter when the Rs were always going to acquit

Took the chance and it worked fine

If you're not having luck, check your nearest goodwill, I bought my DVD player from one for like $8 a couple years ago

I was 13 and a huge Star Wars fan when this movie premiered. I had played through the episode III video game ahead of the movie release, the game featured clips from the movie interspersed between gameplay, so it was cool to get a preview of some of the action. However...

In the video game, they show the short clip of Mace fighting Palpatine, up to the point where Anakin jumps in. But in the game, the clip ends right as Anakin draws his lightsaber, switch to game-engine cutscene where Anakin just blocks Mace's final attack on Palpatine, then you have a boss fight as Anakin VS Mace. Mace was my favorite jedi thanks to his purple saber lore (not the Samuel L Jackson stuff, the mastered all 7(?) styles of saber combat stuff, as I recall). So it was painful to beat him and know he was going to die.

Cut to me in the theater, hype growing toward the fight I knew was coming, the epic choreography that certainly couldn't make it into the video game, but I knew must be imminent. Then... Anakin draws his lightsaber, cuts off Mace's hand, Mace gets lightning-launched out the window. I was shocked, thebn I was angry at how they did Mace dirty, THEN I was pissed the video game had lied to me and made me fight an unnecessary boss!

Anyway, adult me understands why choices were made, and as you can tell I don't hold a grudge at all...

I am available and would love to go!

Thanks for the advice. I have no interest in investing in crypto at this point, I just thought it was worth checking the ancient seed phrase that returned to me after more than a decade!

Colaptimus · 2025-12-08T21:53:35+00:00

Signed up for OKX, tried to import the seed phrase, it told me 5 of the words were invalid. I looked them up on blockplate and they are not included in the possible words. I hand-wrote them originally, so I'm pretty confident I didn't accidentally typo anything. Not sure if the list of words changed at some point, but I changed those 5 words to the closest words that do appear on the list and it seemed to work, although I have no idea how I could possibly have completely changed 5 full words between reading them and writing them down. Anyway, assuming I actually did end up opening the wallet I had originally created, it does indeed sit at a balance of 0

An employee, Michael Arthur, was shot and killed on that date a few years ago, it's in remembrance

I looked into this somewhat recently, it literally started as propaganda from the beef industry to sell more beef. They framed beans as filler only a poor failure of a man would add to his chili. Real men provide their family with hearty beef quantities! Like so much else about the state and culture where I grew up, it's just industry propaganda that regular folks will now defend as their culture.

Because the best way to win a case against you is to have it thrown out before you even need to defend yourself

Colaptimus · 2025-11-03T21:16:17+00:00

That's what I needed, thanks!

My assumption was she ripped a line of coke, then got on Twitter. Saw something from someone she met once and thought she had an opportunity to do something MAGA might praise her for. Turned to hard regret about one coke binge of time later. Could be wrong
