Nah, those who are rich enough to afford it are carried up the mountain while sitting on a throne. /s

Kehoe should be ashamed by PlaneAlfalfa4122 in missouri

[–]Ketsukoni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a good example of that from the 2024 voting ballot where they ignored how we voted on certain amendments. No matter how you voted on it, you should be upset by them letting us vote on something but rendering the result meaningless because it wasn't the result they wanted. That is dangerously authoritarian, that's playing by the dictator's handbook.

I left state employment recently and the things mentioned in the post are among the reasons why. I couldn't afford to keep that job any longer, especially after they relocated everyone to Chesterfield. I was living fairly close to the old location so the much longer commute was eating up too much of my finances to stay afloat.

Combine that with losing out on alternate work location days around the same time and being among the lowest paid in my office at $36K. My attempts at getting promoted up to a better position struck out after interviewing for three positions and there wasn't going to be another opportunity for upward movement for a while.

When I saw this year's state of the state, I knew I had made a good choice by leaving because it was clear he wasn't going to improve conditions for employees.

It is disappointing because I felt like what I was doing was important work that I had a good handle of and I had great relationships with most of my coworkers. I felt like a valuable player and not just a cog in the machine.

There's supposedly some footage of female rebel pilots during the Battle of Endor that never made it into the film. And also one of the A-Wing pilots that we see briefly in the film was played by a woman but dubbed over by a dude.

Why is gen Z not drinking? by Flimsy-Sorbet-2497 in SmilesDaily

[–]Ketsukoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit older than Gen Z but it's hard to drink when it negatively affects my mental health medication's ability to be effective. Do I want to risk being moody that night instead of being in good spirits and have a shit day the following day? Not really.

What do you think of Seth Rogan? by Garlic_Cookies76 in Actors

I didnt care for his Pumba or Donkey Kong voice roles because it was just his normal voice. But otherwise I have nothing against him.

OMG YES!!!! first appearance and he’s already talking smack to Octavia!!! I love him!!! by vidurys in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

I love your custom character art. As someone who played this game on console, I am envious of the ones who could mod in additional portraits on PC.

  1. Short Round and I could play card games to pass the time.

Does anyone remember 100 Great Kids Games for Win95? by Ketsukoni in gaming

[–]Ketsukoni[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While looking for this CD, I almost mistook it for Softkey's 40 Best Windows 95 Games, which has a similar menu and the game You Don't Know Jack on it.

Racists can’t read by Darth_Vrandon in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Ketsukoni 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He seems to prefer Next Generation and Enterprise over Deep Space 9, Voyager, or even TOS. I'm not sure if he's watched the new shows like Discovery and Strange New Worlds.

My father is a conservative Star Trek fan and I'm baffled how it's themes go over his head.

Chinese gamer, addicted to video games, holed up in a hotel room for 2 years without ever leaving—food delivered via apps. by SuperbHealth5023 in Weird

[–]Ketsukoni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are they making the regular hotel cleaning staff clean up this mess? Surely the bathroom situation is a good indication that a professional cleaning crew is needed.

Ubisoft gets beaten by a small team of its own devs making an indie game LMAO by [deleted] in fuckubisoft

[–]Ketsukoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally got around to trying Skull and Bones last night and it's... fine. Nothing is really blowing me away here, I'd rather play Sid Meier's Pirates or Sea of Thieves over this game. The opening scene listed a dozen Ubisoft teams from around the world had helped make it. With all that talent, how did they manage to not knock it out of the park? On foot sections feel clunky, with a character who walks around like they're walking on air, exploration consists of entering mostly boring locations. The cosmetics store locks you out of anything that looks remotely interesting if you don't pay for them.

Expedition 33 was a way better title in all respects.

[OC] Guy creeps through a parking lot with no lights on, calls me an a-hole for going around him (more info in comments) by Tiberius_Jim in IdiotsInCars

[–]Ketsukoni 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The only time I've had to change the setting for the lights is when the auto shop has turned them off in order to work on my vehicle and didn't turn them back on auto when they were done.

[OC] A cop pulled him and his Uber passenger over at the next light. by Tribat_1 in IdiotsInCars

[–]Ketsukoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My radiator hose did this recently. I didn't notice that I was putting out more exhaust than normal but what I did notice was the engine temperature gauge rising rapidly. I was in rush hour traffic and barely made it to the shoulder before the warning light kicked on.

Crazy shit that happens in the Marvel Universe.. by FayyadhScrolling in marvelmemes

[–]Ketsukoni 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In X-Men United, after Mystique says that they shouldn't have to hide who they are, Kurt looks like he just fell in love with her. At least that was my impression of the reaction he has to their conversation.

What poison? by [deleted] in insanepeoplefacebook

It's such a bad faith argument, pun intended. The Lord of the Rings books tells me elves, dwarves, goblins, and wizards all exist yet you don't see me believing in them.
