A little less than a third of people voted for it. A little less than a third against it. A little more than a third didn't vote. There was no majority here. I don't get this "you wanted this, so duck you, enjoy the consequences" response. A third of us fought against this. Our kids don't deserve a hell scape because boomers are gullible.

I was going to comment harvest moon after reading the title!

A lot of the older games for me. They're just a lot harder. Like maybe they expect you to be willing to replay an area or a level over and over, getting a little farther each time until you beat it and I just don't have the stamina for that anymore, or the time.

Newer games baby you, they increase the difficultly perfectly along side your ability growth. They might even make a level easier if you've failed twice. Older games don't care if you're having fun as much. There was less competition (fewer game choices) and more of a "gamers like this. If you don't like it, you're not a gamer" attitude, and now games want to attract everyone.

I have become such a baby about games. I want to have fun the whole time! I can't handle failing over and over. I'd rather just read a book.

I'm not positive you mean this, but you're implying men shouldn't pay for their intimacy? You think it should be free? Everyone pays, but in healthy relationship the "payment" is emotional intimacy, acts of service, words of affection etc. No one is walking up to a stranger and banging them without giving anything. Heck even in sex alone there's "transactions." During foreplay, I get you a little turned on, you get me a little turned on, I escalate, you escalate.

Because as a dink, other people's children will serve as your lawyers, nurses, firemen, governor's, mailmen, cable guy whatever for at least half of your life. You contribute nothing to the next gen except those taxes. Other people are providing the workers, while you benefit from their unpaid labor of raising children. Only dumb dumbs don't see the value in contributing to education, especially since a lot of they themselves benefited from that exact education or free access to libraries and other social services

Yeah, she "begrudgingly" voted for Trump, just like the people you're talking about. My parents on the other hand, lifelong Republicans, voted Harris. Sure "not all Republicans" but it is all the ones who voted for Trump. There's no excuse for them to have voted for him the second time. I am sympathetic to Republicans who held their nose and voted red the first time, but it's a different party now.

All Republicans. My idiot sister. She's like "I watched it" as if that's proof it wasn't? If the white superiority groups are applauding your actions, you're in the wrong. That quieted her down but it didn't change her mind. She thinks we're all over reacting.

Regular boiling is pretty good! The micrplastics end up sticking to the calcium deposits left behind. Never been so happy for that stupid white buildup in my kettle!

"As reported in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters, boiling and filtering calcium-containing tap water could help remove nearly 90% of the nano- and microplastics present."

I think that's pretty standard for public speaking. I've been printing stuff that large since highschool with decent eyesight. You just print as large as you can while keeping it all on one sheet

You might take the bus on the many make days a year there's a heat advisory to stay indoors In my state (USA). Plus often when it rains here, it's not a little rainy. It goes from sunny to pouring in 15 minutes, torrential downpour for 20 minutes and right back to sunny. Pretty unpredictable. But mostly I don't think it's nuts to take the bus to class when there's time pressure and then walk home when there's not.

Right, but aren't those girls in it for the attention? The thrill? Sounds like she's not getting any attention, either.

The craziest thing about this is that you're boss doesn't text you anything else all day?? Is all other communication over email? I mean I assume a lot of it is face to face but they never message you while they're in a meeting?
