I don't know if this is just me, but are those dates the "this will make you sick/dead" or are those the "it's going to taste bad"?
Edit: I can read
Page says
The guidelines for freezer storage are for quality only—frozen foods stored continuously at 0°F (-18°C) or below can be kept indefinitely.
The cheat codes do seem to work. iddqd idkfa made this a lot easier. (Also those cheats are burned into my brain forever, I guess)
edit: You can even idclev to go to different levels
Let us all pray to Saint Luigi
Should never be a factor, sure. But for the right wing it clearly is
I'm still surprised there aren't more revenge killing of cops. Surely more people whose family have been murdered by the police have the thought. I'd nullify, anyway.
It's also a lot easier to stop and do something fun when you're walking. Pop in a new shop, take a detour through a park, whatever. Usually when you're driving you're going too fast to really take in what's around, and stopping is often a whole ordeal of finding parking.
"Death and Life of Great American Cities" talked about this. It's old, but still an interesting read.
I think we also need to put the fear into the rich.
Like, if the result of someone having their factory dump mercury into the town drinking water was that guy was beaten to death, then the rich would maybe behave a little better.
If the guy who steals his employee's tips got up one morning and found every window in his house was smashed, maybe he'd think again.
Some people operate only at the most basic level of moral reasoning: "Will I be punished?" They don't care about other people. They don't care about laws.
At the end of the day, might makes right. If you can't enforce your will, there's no cosmic ref coming to call a time out. Unfortunately, the rich have a lot of might via the police and such. But they're still just bags of meat like everyone else.
We need more Luigis, and we need enough solidarity that no jury would convict.
We would be better off without republicans. We shouldn't treat them as if they have any legitimacy.
As I always say in posts about this topic: Living in a walkable city is nice. I can just walk outside and get groceries. No traffic. No fuel costs. No insurance. No maintenance. No parking. I just walk down the street and get stuff. If there's a lot of stuff I need, I bring a cart, but I almost never need to do that.
Yeah but none of that accounts for the cruelty and control.
Keeping workers desperate and afraid makes it harder for them to unionize or stand up for themselves. If losing your job means losing access to life saving health insurance, people are less likely to take that risk.
We should break up match group. With hammers, if needed.
But I do think a lot of people self sabotage on the apps. They'll be like "no one has an interesting conversation with me" but their profile is like 3 bland photos and "I like to have fun". My guy, you need to give people something to work with.
But also I don't trust that the app is actually showing profiles to anyone with a reasonable algorithm. They probably could actually show me people I'd be compatible with. They chose not to.
There's probably some blood on their hands, thinking about it. Lying to people that this app will lead to relationships when they intentionally sabotage that for profit means people are unhappier, more frustrated, and some of them probably go on to do violence. It's probably producing incels.
But somehow people are mad at queer folks and foreigners instead of the C-suite and their boards.
I remember realizing all the names are science terms and being like "oh that's clever"
Kind of like it more than the usual "throw darts at a fantasy word board" that produces like Dark Age, Dragon Priest, Eternal Soul, etc
If we're waving magic wands around, change the tax laws to limit how much you can inherit.
Changing the step up basis thing is actually pretty low hanging fruit.

Where would you lay the blame?
And how is that hypothetical response "intellectually dishonest"?
You don't even need to wait for ng+. Sometimes I just start a new game and cruise through the first parts. Clear the "you should lose here" tutorial boss and go all the way to lady butterfly. Then I usually run out of steam.
It's really satisfying to be able to do that without a level up grind
Ebooks on my phone from the library has reduced friction a lot for me. Don't even have to get off the couch.
You'd have to get involved, but as I said I don't know how to solve for money being power.
Poe's law is real. I can't tell if this is satire.
Who's playing in the .32 tournament?
Not sure if this community is dead, but here we are!
I kind of stopped playing new versions around .28 because I really disliked the opportunity attacks mechanism, but I thought I'd give .32 a try. The new shapeshifter things look cool, but in fussing with it a bit it's harder than I expected.
But now the tournament is live! Who's playing?
https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.32/
I currently have one win with ye olde MiBe. Got lucky with good armor early on, and then cruised to a 3 rune (shoals + snake + vaults) win.
There was one dicey moment in the lungs where I went around the corner to reveal 4 orbs of fire, some draconians, and a lightning golem all waiting for me. Hasted + Fog'd my way the hell out there.
how do people feel about spears?
I tried it a bit with my reaper in pve and it seemed okay, but I wasn't doing anything challenging that really put it to the test. I haven't tried the others classes yet.
How are your metamor relationships?
Currently, I'm polite to friendly with all of them. No outstanding conflicts. It's sometimes literal kitchen table poly with one, and the others I only see at like parties and such.
Some years ago I had two partners that absolutely did not get along with each other, and that was rough. Recently I was able to do a dinner with 3 partners and everyone had a good time.
I try not to make a big deal about folks meeting. I try to model after meeting your friend's friends.
How do you find other poly people?
For me there's a bit of a network effect where the polycule sprawls out into the distance. Partners have partners who have partners.
But for disconnected folks, it's mostly been tinder (yuck), and a local meetup.
(Also this might be the first post? That or nothing federated yet)
Looking for a Thursday Evening Game
I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.
I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.
LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.
Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.
What's up with memes suffixed with "rule"?
Like I saw one that was titled "I wonder why rule" and had a picture about overpaid CEOs or something.
Why "rule"? What's the origin of this format?
