The DC Mayor position is so corrupt usually. Anyone old enough to remember Marion Barry? I don't know who it is now but last time I lived in DC the mayor was Vincent Gray and he even looked corrupt. He looks like Snidley Whiplash and Joe Jackson (Michael's dad) had a baby.

Make whatever game you want and charge whatever you want for it. Ima just wait until it shows up on sale for $30 or less tho. Cuz I’m cheap… and patient.

We’ve been doing 4x days at 9 hours, with an 8 hour Friday, and then taking every other Friday off.

It’s still 40 hours but it’s something at least. I’d love to get down to 32 hours a week but I don’t want my pay to suffer. The Brits or the EU would have to do it first before the rest of the world might even think about trying it.

In my experience 12 year olds are pretty impervious to temperature fluctuations. Little bastards dive into freezing water like it’s nothing and run around in the scorching sun, not even noticing that they sweat through all their clothes.

Order some joke/fake lottery tickets. One of the ones where every ticket wins $30k. Drop one on his driveway before he heads to work in the AM for him to find. I've only done this to two people and they both fell hook, line, and sinker for it. One lady was calling her husband to come pick up the winning ticket to keep it safe.

We started doing Fondue for Thanksgiving instead of the traditional dinner. Its special and it tastes good and some years we discover new cheese combinations that work great. For Xmas we do a whole chicken leg with the little chef's hat cover on the end of the leg bone.

Agree that traditional Thanksgiving meal sucks. No matter what they do to a turkey, brine it, deep fry it, baste it, it still tastes like turkey.

One thing my wife does well though is pumpkin pie. She does this cheese soufflé style pumpkin pie that is light on sugar. Its so good. The only problem is that it is visibly indistinguishable from a supermarket bought crappy sugary pumpkin pie.

TIL that Sicilian is a language that is separate from Italian?

He wasn't even on the ballot when we held the meeting.

I wouldn't think the average Big Lots shopper to be such a discerning consumer.

In my teens I watched NBA basketball religiously.

In my twenties I was a huge MLB fan.

In my 30s I watched the NFL every weekend.

In my 40s I have athletics daughters and I watch them play and I also watch women's soccer.

Does it help that the US women are a dominant force in the international area whereas the men are just "no longer a joke".

Yes, yes it does.

When my highschooler was younger we'd go watch the Washington Spirit at the Soccerplex in Germantown.

It sat about 4,000.

This summer I travelled back to the US and caught a Spirit game in the new stadium in Baltimore. Holy shit what a big difference.

The crowd now had 19,000 in attendance.

Crocs are lowkey the number one shoes of athletes. The minute any kid finishes any game with cleats, they kick them off and roll with the crocs.

Was the first one any good? I've played a couple of 40k games that were meh. I like the lore, but the story and gameplay have to be up to par also.

For the rest of my life.. I'm going to use the emoji in place of the name of the country. Which lets be honest, even if I live another 60 years will only be like two times maybe.

knock knock Excuse me, Do you have a minute to talk about NASA's Psyche mission and the possible impacts of its success?

Michael Rappaport as a Paladin of the Brotherhood of Steel was a bit odd, other than that the series was pretty good imo.

My whole childhood it was bad videogames made in the wake of movie/show hits. Not glad to see it goes the other way as well.

I could have gotten over the minor disparity because they needed a good actor, but that script was a completely butchered hack job. Anyone who made decisions on that movie should be excised from the entertainment industry.

I wonder what the timeline is before the inevitable selling of data results in users getting doxxed.

I tried to explain this to my wife. I can walk for long periods with no issue. But shopping? Amusement Parks? That shit is not walking, its trudging and it plays completely different with my energy levels.

Lemmy has apps available? I've been using a browser this whole time. I used the stock reddit app for years too. I'm such a dunce. Can someone point me toward a decent app?
