No gender reassignment here, my best feature is my beard, and I'm not an extrovert so bearded lady is out.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47863327/falcons-james-pearce-arrested-florida-battery-charges Just pack it up for the Falcons. He was amazing on the field, we gave up next year's first round pick for him, and now he probably won't see the outside of a jail. I'm mad at myself for getting my grandson into this team, like voluntary generational trauma.

It was a car accident, a Mazda. Less exciting, more sad.

They're going to "remain on the scene" still don't know what scene, why, where. But, there is a scene, and they are remaining there.

I just heard an absolute fuckton of sirens all over the place. We've never heard anything like that in the 11 years we've lived in this house, so it piqued my curiosity. I'm listening to local police radio. Like my crazy grandmother used to. I've become so old. They have the road leading to the back exit of my neighborhood shut down, and some burglary alarm went off at a beverage mart. I will keep you posted.

Fuck it, I'm burning down the rain forest and using AI to decipher the OP. Absolutely — let’s slow down and unpack what the original author was trying to express. Their writing was a bit tangled, but the meaning is actually pretty clear once you break it apart. Here’s a clean interpretation of what they were saying: What the original author meant 1. They’ve been watching old monster movies for story research. They’re working on a story idea, so they’re revisiting classic Universal monster films. 2. They like the 1931 Dracula. They specifically enjoy the Bela Lugosi version and seem to respect it as a classic. 3. They respect the Universal Frankenstein, but… They acknowledge that the movie version is very different from Mary Shelley’s original creature. They point out that: The literary creature is intelligent He reads the Bible, Paradise Lost, and philosophy He’s much more articulate and thoughtful than the movie version So they’re aware of the contrast between the “monster movie” version and the “well‑read, philosophical” book version. 4. They also respect Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But here they shift into something more personal. They say: They have anger issues They believe that in the story, Dr. Jekyll is the mask Hyde is the true self This is their interpretation of the character — that Hyde isn’t a separate being but the real personality underneath Jekyll’s polite exterior. 5. The overall theme They’re comparing different classic monsters and reflecting on how: The movie versions simplify things The literary versions are deeper And in the case of Jekyll/Hyde, they personally relate to the idea of a hidden, more volatile self In one sentence They’re saying: “I’m researching old monster movies for a story. I like the 1931 Dracula, I respect the Universal Frankenstein even though the book version is much smarter, and I relate to Jekyll/Hyde because I think Jekyll is just a mask hiding the real self, Hyde.” ...that's a lotta analysis. Sorry environment.

I'm in the market for a emulation-based handheld, that's under $100. Y'all have any suggestions? This is my most likely purchase at the moment, but I'm still researching. https://mangmi.com/products/mangmi-air-x?variant=51817216409967

I could see that. The industry does have a problem* that people are playing fewer games for a longer amount of time. *it's a problem for shareholders (and arguably the industry at large), not necessarily gamers

Movie scenes that make you cry every time

I'm playing through the pixel remaster version of this, I'm at the magnetic cave, so I'm not too far off from a Rydia reunion. -
I don't mean large as in playtime or size. Nah, file size. This shit is crazy! Most modern AAA games coming in well over 100 GB. I recently bought a 4TB HDD and I thought I'd be set. Then I realized...that's only like 40 games. That's stupid! Can they not be optimized a little? I know HD/4K textures take up a lotta space, but is there no way to crush this down?
