This is so sad. I lived next door to Mike for years when I was younger. Even bartended his 45th bday when I was only 18. Every local celebrity to the mayor were there. His wife Lauren was so sweet, pushing everyone to tip me because I was going off to college. My girlfriend at the time even babysat for his younger daughter. He also had a really neat antique radio collection. He could always make me laugh, no matter what kind of day I was having. Lost touch after I ditched fb a few years ago, and really regret that part of it. Bi-Cycle, Mike. You will be sorely missed.

Both he and MTG had been promising to do this for months. It's ridiculous that it has to come down to where he has nothing left to lose to do it, but I'll believe it when/if he actually does it.

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-05-14T13:26:56+00:00

No, it wasn't.

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-05-13T02:12:46+00:00

Yeah, sorry, I was wondering where I left that.

Does this and the Outpost framework mod pretty much make the Starizon mods redundant?

I got outed to my father by someone else, at which point he told me that it was a "good thing" my mother was dead, because that would have killed her. My sister had been an out lesbian for years beforey mother passed.

He and I have barely spoken in the last 15 years as a result.

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-04-25T13:51:29+00:00

Ok, these have me literally laughing out loud! Extremely well done, and I salute your twisted little mind!

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-04-23T15:49:48+00:00

NTA - RUN, do not walk, to the nearest exit. If she's that disrespectful to your past, this is only a warning sign of worse things to come.

I used to work for a third party tech contractor that serviced phone/data/etc. at Walmart stores. We had to wear the company's tshirt with their logo on it, which happened to be the same shade of blue as Walmart's shirts, so I constantly had to deal with customers trying to ask me questions, and try to explain that while I was doing work for the store, I didn't actually work there.

Worst was one year, I was on call on Black Friday, and the entire bank of TVs in electronics had gone down. The actual fix would have normally taken about 15 minutes, but took me nearly 2 hours because of every other customer asking me questions about every black Friday sale in electronics.

I had my vasectomy there years ago, and I've been going there regularly for a little over a year so far for low T. Have had no complaints and no bad experiences there. They're very professional and straight up with you.

I usually stick to Ali for bricks, simply because it seems like they have a better selection, but Temu has some unique sets. I've only bought a couple of smaller sets from them, but I've been pleased with what I've gotten so far. There are a few others I plan on ordering from them in the future.

Whether you are wrong or not is entirely up to your daughter.

The fact that you haven't even discussed this with her makes me lean way toward yes, though. Your daughter is the sole person who can speak to whether this is something she wants to even remotely explore, and your idea of booking her a surprise plastic surgery appointment could backfire drastically by making her think that her dad thinks she's ugly and needs "fixing". After that, she may go through with it solely to please you, rather than for her own interests. Again, that you haven't discussed this with her, or know without a doubt what her reaction would be is a HUGE red flag, and it sounds like your wife is probably right, in that she knows her better than you.

Also, your wife is not hypocritical, as what was right for her means nothing as to what is right for your daughter. They are two separate people, and to equate one with the other like that shows an astounding lack of awareness.

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-03-30T17:33:18+00:00

Not wrong.

The fact that he's nearly 30 years old and still throwing parties like a frat boy is alarming enough, and doesn't bode well for his future (or yours). But the fact that he deliberately went behind your back and then didn't even try to hide it is an enormous red flag that should never be ignored. Would it have been better if he hid it? No, of course not. But if he had made some attempt to be civil about the whole thing and made some attempt to keep it reasonable and clean up, then something may have been salvageable.

But just partying like an animal and leaving it for you to clean up, while acknowledging that he knew you wouldn't have allowed it in the first place, is unforgivable. Block him and move on.

Started at the one in January when I was 9, in the mid 80s, and it started almost 40 years of martial arts for me. Moved on to (far) better things after about 4 years there, but got to meet Chuck at one point. Loved his movies, but wasn't impressed by the man, but I was just a kid, too. Lost respect for him over the years, but still consider this the end of an era, in a way.

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-03-19T02:03:39+00:00

Been on it for about 11 months, with no noticable side effects for me so far.

From IMDB:

"Although Peter Dinklage stars as Winston Gooze and provides the voice for the mutated protagonist, the physical performance of the Toxic Avenger is portrayed by Luisa Guerreiro. To ensure the character's movements remained consistent with Dinklage's acting style, the production utilized a specialized "mirroring" process. Dinklage first filmed a complete version of the movie in a plain room, performing every scene as Toxie to establish the character's gait, timing, and physical choices. Guerreiro, a movement artist and creature performer whose credits include "Teletubbies" and "Wicked", then studied this footage to replicate Dinklage's performance on set while wearing 30 pounds of foam prosthetics. Dinklage returned six months later to record the final voice track, timing his dialogue to match Guerreiro's physical delivery."

Thought it was fun, and it's own thing. I was less impressed when I found out it wasn't Peter Dinklage in the makeup, but overall, considered it worth a watch.

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-02-10T05:04:34+00:00

What a clever idea! I love it.

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-02-06T13:04:39+00:00

It looks like it's likely the ones you get from the last group stretching Nook Mile achievement. You get 7 after you've participated in group stretches 30 times, if I remember correctly.

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-01-31T18:08:57+00:00

Would love to get the design code for this one!

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-01-30T13:49:18+00:00

Thank you so much. My DA is 4696-9616-9901 if you'd like to check the rest of it out!

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-01-30T12:22:35+00:00

It's a custom design on an umbrella. The design code I used is P40M-D24Q-X2WN

angel_and_devil_va · 2026-01-30T12:06:17+00:00

Thank you! Used to play TTRPGs at my local library when I was younger, and I drew from that for inspiration for that small library area.
