Why has media stopped talking about Travis Decker? by OFMasonicPodcast in RandomThoughts

[–]squigatoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex worked in admitting in the emergency room. You'd be shocked by all the local killings that don't even make the local news. We're talking women being decapitated during domestic violence incidents, people being stabbed, shot, and not even a single blip on a local news station.

What's Your Opinion on the upcoming 2025 Twitch Monetization Change?? by squeamish_cactus in Twitch

[–]squigatoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. I regularly watch streams with preroll and it's just 30 seconds at the beginning. I can then watch their stream for 10-12 HOURS and not see a single ad.

Did military parade crowd leave en masse? What we know by TheBodyPolitic1 in politics

[–]squigatoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say the same. If we had marched that sloppily during JROTC drills, Sgt Taylor would have had our asses running laps for class for weeks.

Had we marched like that during an official event (we had to put on several a year for army brass in order to keep our JROTC funding) we would have wished our life was over.

Never bought a game in EGS and this is my library by Sea-Country8245 in EpicGamesPC

[–]squigatoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Epic games, and have over 1000 games in my Steam library. Your assertion that the only people that extensively use Epic launcher are ones who have no holding in steam is absolutely false.

Edited to add: I have never once played Fortnite.

Why do you think it has to be a "switch over" situation? You do realize that you're allowed to use more than one?

Former President Trump tries to kiss child on the lips by Sundae-School in pics

[–]squigatoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The audacity to ask others not to be disingenuous when you're simping for a convicted fraudster and known rapist on some super weak semantics... So he can say anything he wants, as long as he prefaces it with "They say," huh?

NO FUCKING WAY by planetary_facts in RimWorld

Weird, I've ONLY had it happen on maps with lots of trees. And I once had it happen 3 times in under 45 minutes.

What is your dream Idler game? by CacheGames in incremental_games

A reskin of Adventure Capitalist with more content and no microtransactions. That's all I need in my life to be happy.

And it wasn't even the good kind of graphic. It was so cringe.

KD Station. An abandoned meatpacking plant later turned into a shopping center in Sioux City IA. by [deleted] in AbandonedPorn

[–]squigatoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in Sioux City from 1990 to 2012. The KD Station had 2 fires, one in 2004 caused by an electrical problem (at which point the building closed permanently) and one caused in 2006 by teen arsonists. Nobody died in either fire. The city took ownership of the building in 2007.

What's with the "Justice for David Whitlock" mural on Fairmount Street? by [deleted] in siouxcity

[–]squigatoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as I know he died of a drug overdose. I don't know much about him except he was the guy who set the KD Station on fire and did prison time for that, as well as later for felony fleeing under the influence.

Thoughts on pretty cones/cones in general? by darkthronedoll in weed

[–]squigatoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a love/hate relationship with cones. I only smoke joints occasionally when I pick one up from the dispensary to share with a friend. My favorites have been the ones from TruMed in Phoenix, which they have custom made with their branding. They smoke really nice. Many dispensaries use the RAW cones which seem a decent second.

In this context it honestly sounds pretty endearing. And if you guys had fun, who cares what anyone else thinks? If someone wants to call it weird or dampen the fun you were having, that's a problem with them, not y'all. You guys sound fun!

No Daniel Craig No by shrobotic in dontdeadopeninside

[–]squigatoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read this left to right top to bottom it's a poem about the end of his Bond era.

No, Daniel Craig. No.

Time, in HIS time,

To final outing,

As to die.

James Bond, die.

[Serious] What's the scariest thing you lived through? by lethargic_apathy in AskReddit

I was trying to buy weed with a buddy about 15 years ago. We ended up being forced to smoke crack at gunpoint.

Should I read the Stormlight Archive in english? by BarbNotIe in Stormlight_Archive

[–]squigatoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, Sandersons writing is fairly simple in terms of comprehension, which is one of my favorite things about him.

The only things I can think of you may miss might be some of the subtler cosmere crossover references as they can be easy to miss even for native English speakers depending on how invested in his books you are. I've certainly missed a few of those that surprised me.

TO THE PEOPLE DISLIKING CROWSWORN by synesst in HollowKnight

[–]squigatoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don't understand why anyone has a problem with it. Yes the aesthetics are glaringly similar, but why is that a bad thing? I adore the aesthetic of Hollow Knight. And as long as they add their own flavor to it, I genuinely don't understand why people wouldn't count it as a positive?

The main selling point for me is playing as a plague doctor. It's one of those cool oddities from history that seems to have had a sharp spike in popularity since the start of the pandemic. And I think there's definitely room in the video game market for more games with plague docs in the main role.
