we got our first real bikes when I was five, we lived on a dead end so we could ride up and down the street. had training wheels and a tall flag on the back to warn cars. anyways we were riding around but my older sister was just in some sort of snotty and/or resentful mood and refusing to acknowledge me, and would speed up so I couldn't keep up with her. she was on the opposite side of the street, so as I was trying to keep up, I was looking at her to my left. then I finally looked forward and took myself out riding right into a parked car. cried like a little baby (five year olds are kind of little babies), and a man from that house (they were having a BBQ party or something) picked me up and carried me the two or three houses back. lost a thumbnail and sliced an egg-shaped piece of skin off my thumb tip. still remember after the fact when my mom cut the dead skin flap off with scissors. wouldn't touch the bike again for ages.

I've seen a few headlines and stuff that kind of imply that the White House is making no efforts to help resolve the House Republicans' inability to pass a spending bill because they've calculated they know the GOP will take all the blame. https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1704608170704822555

I walked into the lynel coliseum the other night unprepared and did not realize I couldn't sneak out of view to cook gloom-heal foods, I killed my way through four of them but couldn't pick up the loot because I was so close to death because I couldn't ungloom my hearts (I was cheesing it pretty hard by the end, I really am not fond of this game and BOTW's difficulty spike revolving around damage soaking/outputting instead of like smarter enemies or new attack patterns etc.), and then the final lynel got a hit in and killed me. Respawn sets you right when his gate opens but all the lynel loot drops despawned. I was so tilted I fought the guy a dozen+ times over and over again with only four hearts and a fairy until I beat him BUT IT DIDN'T MAKE ME FEEL BETTER

idk, it's just an alleged draft with his name all over it. it could be real or not, but everyone will know it's real if he actually files something. until then it's just bathroom palace intrigue

What's up with rants board being archived
Raptorpat replied to Drunkenwarrior's topic in UEMB.com Community Discussion
regular old rants can go in GD, either as a new thread for angry discussion or the Haters/Complainers megathread for a one-off vent -
I grabbed the game when it was free on EGS a couple years ago but I never got to the point of installation. Was totally afraid of getting completely sucked in.

This is probably the crux of the issue. If negative reactions and punishments aren't breaking through to him, then they will only serve as a temporary roadblock instead of a learning experience (in fact he could be learning the wrong things, like how to sneak it around his parents). That's probably a question for his therapist if he has one.
-
Yeah I'm wondering if he's actually like emotionally connecting the overspending to the punishment. Like does he internally recognize it's bad to overspend when he gets in trouble? Or did he just cry purely because he was punished? One thing in his defense though is that "properly" developed freemium games are intentionally addictive. Every aspect is geared towards instant gratification dopamine hits and they are literal poison.

UFOs: Not just for Tinfoil Hats anymore
Raptorpat replied to Master-Debater131's topic in Current Events
I read a thread somewhere that showed all the scientists' evidence, about the DNA and the bone structure and the eggs and the liquid diet mouth and I'm just kinda hung up on like "if there was an alien, would it *really* have two arms, two legs, a humanoid face and body structure, opposable thumbs, eggs, or even like DNA as we understand it?" I just assume aliens aren't just star wars, it'd probably be stuff we wouldn't even know to comprehend. Buuuuuuuuuuuut it is fun to think about, so I get it. -

I just went looking, and yeah jeopardy is not SAG-struck so that's the contractual out for Ken. Mayim as I understand it stood down out of solidarity at the end of last season, not out of union obligation. https://www.thewrap.com/ken-jennings-host-season-40-jeopardy-strikes/ And the producers forced production into gear while glossing over the WGA issue by reusing old WGAW material to shoot filler games. A lot of name-brand champs (within the jeopardy universe) refused to participate in a tournament of champions in this context, so they're doing a "second chance" tournament because there's a much larger pool of possible contestants to account for people refusing out of solidarity.
