I take your point, but please consider: People who like to show off their checks thesaurus prodigious vocabularies are generally insufferable to be around.

I was homeschooled and was basically educated by books, so I have a massively large vocabulary and I mostly use it correctly.

But pronunciation? I’m fucked.

It’s the word’s fault, not yours.

I am proud of the life I’ve built. Before my teens were over, I had completely bypassed all thought of college, knocked up a girl, gotten married, and quit my band (the band was Plan A for my life). I had no skills and no plan and I’m sure even the people that loved us most thought that our marriage was doomed.

But it wasn’t, and those people were wrong - even if the statistics were definitely on their side.

I am proud that I have 4 awesome kids…

I am proud that my wife and I are still actively falling in love every day, 20-something years later.

Honesty, I’m proud to be loved by an amazing woman…

Though conscious of my privilege, I am proud that I found a way to build a career and provide for my family despite having no education. I make over 200k now and that’s simply way, way more than I ever thought I would be able to pull down.

This seems to be a question aimed at validating a position you hold, so what is your position on your question, OP?

I can’t read the article but I don’t think it was blocked. I think Hungary was just missing a procedural step like updating their journal to reflect the policy change that the money was tied to.

If I recall correctly, Orban came around whining about Ukraine being considered, like a little poopy diaper, and the EU was like 'Vic, you got 10 bees waiting on your to file your paperwork. You want to do that, or…?" and Orban was like, " seriously you have money for me? " and they were like, " no cap", so he updated his journal and got the money.

Obviously I don’t have the transcript in front of me but pretty sure that’s how it went down.

They don’t have to do any of those. They own most of the content pipe so anyone who wants to do their own spin on Mickey is going to be inherently limited on their publishing reach.

Plus with all the acquisitions they’ve made, the copyright to Mickey and other legacy characters is worth a much smaller portion of their empire.

And they still own the TM.

Basically I’m regurgitating a rather good video recently published by Corridor Crew so go here for more facts and fewer hacks: https://youtu.be/u2dIvUAd5QE?si=IK5wOEpSDOPyIwJz

The fact that this is probably a fairly non-controversial pick in a year that arguably had a bumper crop of great games really underscores just what an amazing game this is.

It’s really hard to say it’s the best, but the most memorable bite I’ve ever had was my first bite of Japanese F1 Wagyu at Jean Georges in Las Vegas.

Now, I am not a foodie, and I don’t often dine at Vegas steak houses, so I don’t claim any kind of refined palate.

That first bite defied all expectations about what steak was or even what meat could be. I know this sounds crazy, but in many ways it had more in common with candy than with the cow it came from - but it wasn’t sweet.

Clearly I am stymied in my attempts to describe such a memorable bite, because it was so unlike anything else I can relate it to, but suffice to say it was amazing.

Give me your top 5 shoe gaze albums, for calibration, and also because I love recommendations.

Unbelievably, I’m playing (and enjoying) Fallout 76 after avoiding it for so many years of following it’s travails from afar.

It’s buggy in all those Bethesda ways that are almost comfortable in their familiarity at this point, and it’s got a lot to explore. This can tide me over until Starfield is discounted and improved.

Also been playing Teardown a bit, which has a really cool look and feel. Hyper-real except a voxel universe, if that makes sense. Lots of fun to destroy the environment.

Well said

‘I kissed her but she wouldn’t wake up.’

Such a short sentence, to be packed with so much heartbreak.

Sometimes, love isn’t enough. A little evil can wipe out so much love, and a lot of evil ended this poor girl’s life, and - let’s be honest - her grandfather’s as he knew it.

There is so much promise of back story baked into this comment.

As a homeschooled kid, let them come.

I click those without thinking about it too much at all. They are the ones who want to learn how to be human, let them learn to follow my logic.

Their president makes less than $200k

Throw it on the pile with the others. I’ll get to it, probably never.
