At its core it usually is, but they often push it outward. My experience with a conservative religion was mostly just self hatred at not being good enough too honestly, but my personality was never much on the conservative axis. Or rather, when I did stuff on that level I never felt good about them.

That or he lost the finger already and was doing the “cool down the burn in your hot mouth” thing.

America has been on the path for a while though, with the John Birch Society and the like working from the background. They’ve been around since the 1958, and lots of their literature and networks fostered the turn. Others like Bill Cooper, Alex Jones, etc, were active in the 90s and affected by JBS. Waco also had already ocurred.

OKC has some influences from Cooper, and the JBS and other right wing people initially thought OKC was a huge setback for inroads with general audiences, and kept working to change how people feel. Tea party was a huge comeback for them, as people who knew of the JBS warned the Tea Party was just a resurgence.

I don’t know if Lucas or other writers knew at the time, so you might be right. However, there were people warning about it back then, just not really heard or paid much attention to.

Yeah, that was definitely one of them. I’ve seen more than one I think, but that memory resonates.

Rats and mice also. I’ve seen a few videos of terriers killing rats, the squeaks and the way they roughly shake them so hard they die is somewhat disturbing.

Intragalactic war?

I know this is a meme, but I always considered Yoda as winning the fight, but without enough left to fight off any reinforcements, being thus unable to finish the job. Winning the battle but losing the war, etc.

You think Pluto gives a shit?

Most survival builders that use natural resources. I’d see flowers I think I should gather, or trees I could chop down for wood, etc

My brother and I (mostly him, just helped a small bit) used to distribute Anime this way. He’d buy laserdiscs of Anime like Rurouni Kenshin (OVA/Prequel)and Yu Yu Hakushou, then download translations for subtitles and time them on the computer, using a bluescreen pass through and onto some SVHS VCRs. From those two SVHS VCRs, he’d use 9 others to copy them onto VHS tapes for distribution via mail. He’d charge cost iirc, not making profit on it.

I’m 100% sure it would be considered piracy if the companies had a way to find out. Plus VHS tapes had piracy warnings on them back then anyway.

Nah, the way Microsoft and Edge work still enrages me. I just use both Chrome and Firefox atm, with Chrome behind my VPN and Firefox split tunneled. I’m still on 10, but when I have the freedom to do so I’m going to switch to Linux. I can’t just up and do it at the moment because I work through my computer and also game through it, so I need to have a ton of things ensured workable before I switch. That requires time and testing, and in an ideal environment a second system to run in parallel, which I cannot do atm.

I’ve heard our work may be purchasing work laptops for us, so I might be able to do my switch then.

Nah, he’s naked because he realized as a frog he doesn’t need to care about that shit anymore. No laundry. No shopping for new clothes. Chill.

And even older: Pinky, are pondering what I’m pondering?

I buy THC drinks online from 3Chi. I haven’t had an urge to try anything harder (in fact, I’m a bit scared of anything that might affect my heart (aside from booze becaus3 we all do at least one very stupid thing), and the only thing I do want to try but only with a good support group around is shrooms).

The word? Pretty sure it’s been around for decades at least.

The internet made it fucky alarm goes off.

Dell owns Alienwar3, so generally I don’t see the need for that. Perhaps display port? 23 is indeed the manufactured year, like the other Dell monitors in this thread.

It’s OK, he can still read the large print books.

Yeah, Jehovah’s Witnesses know to wait till someone is coming out rather than inside or heading in for this very reason.

I sit in my Secret Labs gaming chair when working from home. When I work at the office, I sit in their Secret Labs Titan gaming chairs, which don’t have a back or neck pillow so are slightly less comfortable and slightly too big.
