  • At that point avoiding using those words entirely seems like a better way. Could have just stopped at lawsuits. The rest is implied and considering the source most people are very aware.

  • My grandmother was always a smoker. The smell reminded me of her and her home more than anything gross.

    Also the smoke does make the ability to taste and smell significantly worse.

    That being said I finally kicked the habit 4 years ago.

  • It definitely won't. Maybe if I somehow push on that weird upper hump while positioning myself to sit I may have an issue, but otherwise it's very much still solid.

  • It had a weird stylistic hump in the center that was the major cause of the problem. I was fully aware upon a handful of measurements that there wasn't even a chance it was going to fit. My cut was only enough of the back to get it through the door. I realized upon rereading I made it sound like I removed the whole thing.

    Even now, 5 years later you can't tell it was operated on unless you take a good look at the back of it.

  • Pass laws to limit election spending/fund raising so that the playing field is about as even as we can manage. After those are set in stone and strong, dismantle the national committees and open the actual gates to allow whoever to run for office.

    Even doing this wouldn't change much though. The popularity contest not at all based on policy would still reign supreme and American voters are still American voters.

  • Reminds me of my own hilarious large furniture movements. Someone bought a love seat for the home I reside in, didn't bother measuring anything, and asked me to retrieve it from the store. A very kind gentleman was paid to bring it from the store to the outside of the house. I took one look at the love seat, one look at the door, and asked him to kindly leave because he didn't want to be any part of the process of getting it inside.

    I ultimately took a circular saw to the back of the love seat and later reattached it and stapled the fabric back on.

  • They knew they couldn't continue the grift they're operating under when confronted with something they flat out denied the existence of as it goes completely against their model.

    Nearly all the content creators know they're basically cult leaders and just want their own flock to pay for their lifestyles without having to really do anything.

  • The easy way: one word answers to everything. This can include just saying yup or nope to every response. I am the kind of person to lean in on obnoxious responses while very much not paying attention.

    The hard way: get HR involved. Inappropriate attempts to get close to you count.

  • Yeah, it was a fairly big story in the poe circles when it happened. By the same token, warframe is also owned by tencent.

  • The main issue with any borderlands title is that they aren't worth buying on day one.. Or even year 1. I quit buying after 2, and waited for a goty edition for 3. Ended up with the Pandora box which was more than I had planned on getting. Even when 4 releases, I'll be waiting for the day it goes on sale with all dlc before I even bother looking at it. So probably just 2027 at this point.

  • It was definitely the first persistent survival game that taught me I don't have the time or energy for that genre.

  • Apparently I unlocked easy mode by fighting the literal dps check in act 3. Everything afterward was cake compared to it.

    The only point of the topic was that those particular bosses seem like bad fits for the intended trial introductions. Later on they'd be fine. To start out they're absolutely abysmal to fight against.

    And I honestly think the chimera boss was just a mistake all together. You don't even really fight it so much as wait around for it to get near you so you can beat on it for 5 seconds before it leaps away for another minute. It's the only boss I've encountered that the health bar disappeared and music simply stopped for.

  • I've been considering starting a tinder account purely to find food places. Just offer up a free meal at their favorite place, no romance required.

  • Anything's possible, I'm guessing there are some pipes or somethingunderneath and whoever did the installing didn't feel like trying to straighten it out with junk in the way.

  • Wait.. There's a world grid?

    My factory is in shambles.

  • Current AI for generating sexual images is on the real side of the uncanny valley at this point. If you're really looking you might be able to tell, but I don't think most people looking for porn are going to scrutinize anything too closely in the first place.. So real enough.

    However, I don't see how 60 images of what's effectively a face plastered on a miscellaneous body doing something sexual would follow anyone for anything. Anyone who knows of them and outs themselves just admitted to child porn..

    Most people don't have such unique facial features that would be something that could even follow them in the first place.

    As for the criminal aspect of it, that's a societal thing to figure out, so here they go figuring it out.

  • The boss of the 'don't get touched' trial having 3 separate aoe ranged attacks that spawn from wherever they feel like it is a hell of a choice. It took me two attempts, the second one I just focused on my character and did the usual bullet hell way.

  • Which is why I bought satisfactory twice.

    Though for coffee stain I'd do it again.

  • Expecting them to have my phone number but not my address is a mental leap I cannot fathom in the first place.
