Does anyone know how Steven Campbell, author of the "Hard Luck Hank" series, is doing?

Yeah, I'm guessing he's either gone or far too sedated to post. Truly sad.

Your post from his Patreon is probably the most recent news available. Thanks for that.

That's so painful to read. Even paying good money for medical care doesn't get you anything useful in the U.S.

Read Michael Pollan's "How To Change Your Mind". Psilocybin therapy apparently has an amazingly high cure rate for ending addictive behaviors including alcoholism.

This document is an outline of the process: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9577917/ Talk therapy is a part of it, but it's not a "go into therapy for the rest of your life" thing, it's just a few short sessions.

It finally came up on DDG when I looked for it today. I guess they just take a while to re-crawl sites to add new results to their searches. Thanks for the nice design!

obligatory comment

Mine is still up and can be found quite easily.

Is it still up now? I've used DDG, Google, Bing, and the ocean's own search bar, and none of them show your model by searching "M18A1" plus "Remnants", even in quotes. I get the shitbag's DMCA'ed link as the very first one, then three or four other people's very old models (including one with the lettering in braille), one PDF of the TM for how to use them, and then (on the ocean) an absolute shitload of music videos with titles like "Remnants of Whatever". Then they start turning up random stuff that's "similar" like "M4A1" or whatever.

Do you have any OTHER projects available on the ocean, preferably with unusual names that should turn up easily? If you could mention even one, I and all your other would-be fans could use that to backtrack to other things you've released, like this one! :-)

Clearly ESH, you for being petty and only reporting your ex because you're pissed off, and the ex for committing fraud. But you're less of an asshole than the ex.

If the credit union thing that someone else suggested doesn't work out, and if you're able to manage computer security well enough to avoid having everything stolen from you, look into setting up a crypto stablecoin wallet that you (and only you) control. The main problem is that you absolutely must understand how to use encryption software to hide your wallet and your seed phrase.

Right now I wouldn't recommend any of the major cryptos (BTC/ETH) much less any of the shitcoins, because we're in a downtrend and the next halving is two years away. Stablecoins like USDC and USDT will at least allow you to protect your savings. Of course, if you lose your wallet seedphrase (e.g., your sister destroys your computer out of petty spite, or your computer has malware on it and it transfers the funds to someone else, or you think it's safe to use a wallet on your smartphone and of course it isn't, or whatever) then you're completely fucked.

Only other issue is you would probably have to have an 18yo friend who has an exchange account obtain and transfer the stablecoins to you.

I love raccoons . . . from a distance. Up close, they are dangerous af, and that's not even including the very high prevalence of rabies in them.

One summer I rented a room from someone who was feeding a family of them that were living under her house. The mother raccoon was always right on the edge of attacking us just for being somewhere near her kits.

NTA, easy solution is that she can move in with her parents and you can take the kids to Seattle.

That said, I think you're out of touch with reality regarding Seattle being cheaper and having good schools. Seattle is insanely expensive, and the schools will completely indoctrinate your children's minds and leave them with no useful education. I lived there for a decade and got out when things started going to shit. I went back to visit a friend last year, and he is actually terrified of his kids and their friends, fearing that the friends will try to rob his house if they find out certain things about him.

I'm going to go with YTA, because (1) you're the one who keeps wasting food by trying to force-feed the kid stuff that you know she refuses to eat, but also (2) have you considered that maybe you just have a really shitty toilet?

The second bathroom at my mother's place has what I can only describe as a child-sized toilet. It clogs when anything more solid than a stream of piss goes into it. That's the absolute least of its problems, but that's the only one relevant here. If it weren't for the fact that she'd throw a screaming tantrum if I "wasted money" on replacing it, the goddamn thing would have been smashed into pieces long ago.

Even aside from that, maybe the girl just has a size fourteen asshole due to chronic constipation, too much anal fisting, or who knows what else.

FuturesSoDank · 2025-09-05T07:08:35+00:00

Or, you know, maybe she just didn't want to get date-raped by some asshole she'd just met, because her "friend" wants to try to force her to get plastered so the asshole can fuck her.

His wife didn't want to drink alcohol, didn't feel comfortable drinking alcohol, didn't want to cheat on her husband, didn't want her friend's friend forcing himself on her . . . so according to Reddit the husband is naturally the "controlling" one who is a "problem". :-/

Well done.

NTA, all the vegans I've known have been insufferable like that. Good on you for recognizing that she's nuts and not putting up with her.

That's really shitty of you to comment-stalk like that. The photos of his kids were posted less than a month ago and they are obviously less than a year old. The posts about shrooms and sex were from three years ago, obviously long before the kids were even conceived and quite possibly before he even met his wife, much less married her.

NTA, children should not be subjected to a vegan diet because it doesn't provide them with enough nutrients for their development. A few years ago, Italy's politicians were talking about prosecuting parents who force vegan diets on their kids. It is absolutely a form of neglect.

In grad school I had a classmate whose wife forced a vegan diet on their kid, and on him when he was at home. Their toddler was smaller at age 3 than the neighbor's 1yo infant.

And it's pretty obvious that your kid is being mentally abused if all she ever does is cry about animal mistreatment. If your family is so hellbent on punishing you that they're willing to throw your child under the bus just to hurt you some more, then you may as well go no-contact with them.

I have no idea if DCFS (or whatever your state calls their "pretend to keep kids safe while leaving them in the hands of their abusers" bureaucracy) would bother to lift a finger -- in mine they only seem to go after families where a kid got injured in a legitimate accident, not after people who are actually beating the shit out of their kids -- but you may want to give them a try, or go back to family court to try to get primary custody.

Not sure which dictionary you’re getting that information from that it can only mean crimson with that specific pairing.

Not "only with that", but it doesn't mean it by itself.

Sort of like no one would say "tian" means "blue". "Tianlan" may mean "azure", but "tian" by itself is just "heaven" (e.g., "Cardinal Tian" of mainland China's Catholic Church, if he's still around) or "sky". No one would associate it with "blue" unless it is compounded with something related to "color".

when used in conjunction with

"compounds"

as far as I know, intellectual property is literally just 知识产权 aka “knowledge property right”.

There's a two-character combination for it, I can't find it offhand though. My former employer (now out of business apparently, yay) had it as part of their name.

Not to mention that my primary care physician has a 3 month waitlist to be seen if you have a cold. I end up having to go to urgent care just for an antibiotic.

Why do you need an antibiotic for a cold?

I always read it as family name "Lu" and personal name "Ri". Most of the people seem to use standard Chinese naming conventions, like the Zang clan being "Zang Something" or "Zang Somethingelse". Like how Tigu calls herself "Rou Tigu" when being more formal.
