When Leeto got bored of the Duncans and didn't use his prescience. Don't mind me been listening to the Dune series for the umpteenth time again. Just the core ones of course.

Carry definitely has good options too, The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and I don't think he went all funny guy in The Number 23, I recall I enjoyed it but very litte else about it.

Edit: Oh of course Truman Show but that goes without saying.

I always give Stranger Than Fiction as an example to see Will Ferrall do a non-usual comedy movie, I enjoyed it anyways. Some people can't stand his usual schitck which I can understand. Though I do enjoy the studiest of comedy and he can nail that genre, but I do think it takes talent/skill to pull it off as well as he does.

Not sure how many people will get this, but way back when I have Eve online a go, I made either some containers or markers (guessing markers? Cause otherwise I'd have just took the cargo but can't recall why I had two then), but they were called the bees knees and the cat's pajamas. For some reason I always liked those terms for something good. I'm 'only' in my 40s so not quite from my time lol.

Sometimes you may not have a choice with who fights you. I recall once in Calgary a few decided to try and fight our group and we just disengaged, but if they were adament about fighting there was little we could do. It was quite random and we'd were in our middle teens and don't think we said anything first but it's going back like 30 years so recollection is hazy. I think we were just walking around in the evening is all.

So people just are looking for a fight and maybe our disinterest curbed their desire but I have no doubt there are others who wouldn't be curbed by that and just want to beat on people.

I do agree with the general sentiment but sometimes even if you do everything correctly the wrong outcome happens.

Stimulant, dexedrine is what worked for me. At one point I tried a number others and they didn't seem to work the same, even Adderall wasn't the same but I know it's very similar. Know Vyvanse was another, but know there were a couple other I don't recall. First one was Ritilan but that gave me hives which took me a bit to register why they were happening, well two days but easy enough since it was the new thing.

I didn't get diagnosed until I was just under 30, medication has done wonders for myself since. I don't think my parents had a clue, I was quite smart, if I had medication in my school days I can only wonder what I may have achieved, but I'm a university dropout. Doing okay but I do wonder sometimes.

Have you ever seen such a schlubby looking President? Like his arms are down, shoulders as down as far they can be. Of course he's not doing the accordion hands thing which is sort of a plus for him. That suit looks like off the rack too, I bet he gets them tailored that way heh. He sort of looks like he's giving an 8th grade presentation for his class.

I will say it's highly probable this picture was chosen for those attributes, but it's not like his content or speaking skills would make it better than what is captured in an image. So I'm guessing the image captures the essence of the speech.

I agree, I was saddened that they were forced back, they did a strike at a time that would have good impact but just got everything pushed back. I hope they can come to a mutual agreement that supports people providing an essential service throughout our country. Even if I get a slight inconvenience, and I may not think I depend on it much I can see how crucial it is.

I do not, no proof. If there was a god such as in the Bible why give us reasoning abilities when they give no proof? And if so, then I put forward the idea that if there is such a god, they don't care if we believe so why bother?. Not to go all gamer but like the Sims, they made us and took out the pool ladder and saw what happened.

If there is a god that has such powers and cares, well fuck them cause they ain't helping us it seems. If they are well we're too far off course for it to matter, this playthrough is spiraling and it doesn't matter if we believe or not cause we may be circling the drain.

So seems easier not to believe because if you do it's more depressing.

All the angels used the best greeting...Norm!

I'll have a beer in your name tomorrow. My gf and I are watching through Cheers currently,only season 2 and it's all nostalgia. To be fair we don't really remember most of these early episodes but every episode feels like watching TV with my parents in the 80s to me.

Processing any shaders...every load time. I guess the upside of spending too much on hardware it doesn't take as long as it could. I definitely ignored Hogwarts Legacy some game evenings cause it did that every time I played, it went away recently though and oddly I finished after being able to play right away.

One of the one games I've finished in like 3 years, which I assume is also an add thing, I don't finish a lot, just try and get my entertainment value and hope for the best after. Currently not wanting to lock into the last mission of cyberpunk 2077 heh.
