  • Watched a guy hold a butt joint, missed, and shot a nail through his finger. A couple of days later, he was showing his buddy what he did and he nailed a different finger on the same hand during the demonstration. Same guy during the same summer got really drunk and fell down a flight of stairs. I was pretty convinced he was hurt/dead, but he got up, held up his half full beer, chugged it, did a righteous metal scream, and proceeded to fall down the next flight of stairs. Thank god he only had two flights of stairs between him and the ground or he probably would’ve done it until he got all the way to the bottom.

    He still is the most impressively stupid guy I’ve ever met. I think about him frequently.











  • My boomer trait is that I frequently type in my password where the username is supposed to go.

    Every time you do this change your password immediately. This is shockingly easy to find in logs and match up to the users. You’d be surprised how often application logs are damn near wide open in a log repo to entire IT departments. Just trying to look out for you OP.





  • I can answer this for you. So imagine a genre of game that you grew up playing, loved, and sunk possibly thousands of hours in. Now imagine for like 15 years they only made the most dogshit version of that genre of game. Then someone comes along and makes a decent, even passable, modern version of that game.

    It’s like giving dirty water to a dehydrated person. Is the water good? Fuck yeah in the moment it’s fantastic. Is the water the greatest water you’ve ever had? Well technically no, but please don’t take away the dirty water please.


  • Huh opposite for me. I have played Slay the Spire for like 2000 hours. I have beaten it through ascension 20 on all 4 characters like 20ish times at this point. I still pick it up and play it when I’m bored and it still is fun somehow.

    I could not get into Balatro like that. I think I have roughly 50 hours in it and like 3/4 of the way through it with all the decks and challenges and simply cannot bring myself to complete it. The last 10 or so hours just felt like a slog. Still a good game but the sheen wore off for me well before I could 100% it much less start replaying.

    To each their own I guess! Funny how similar the games are and how there’s just some people that love one but can’t get into the other.



  • You said retroactive thought crime is a big no no, but many cancellations of recent past (last 5-7 years at least) have been what you would label “retroactive thought crimes”.

    Gonna need some examples because every time I’ve seen this sort of thing it generally turns out to be not true and not backed by examples. “Canceling” in most cases is someone saying something incredibly shitty then being shocked that the group that they said it about gets annoyed with them on the internet. This rarely has real world repercussions for that person and in the rare times it does it’s because they recently said something super racists/sexist/awful and the backlash from said group is significant enough that companies distance themselves from that person. These are almost exclusively public figures that it happens to and rarely, if ever, non-public figures.

    The only time I’ve seen actual “canceling” happen to regular ass people is from the recent Charlie Kirk shit. If you can cite examples that would be stupendous. Otherwise I’m going to assume you’re kind of full of shit.
