It goes against my human nature to not overanalyze.

Unfortunately they’re on pages that I absolutely need to get into because my money is stored behind them. I cannot stand them, and I generally agree with you, if some random site has me doing a captcha in leaving.

I have regular everything and I still fuck them up. “click the ones with a fire hydrant”. But a tiny piece of fire hydrant is spilling into another box. Does it count? Does it not count? Good luck!!

I had one the other day that was deep fried jpegs to the max. Like, what the fuck am I supposed to do.

I thought about the numbers too. I would say dozens go as high as like 150, because beyond that you can round up to 200, which is now hundreds, but before that runs down to 100, and nobody wins say The US sent hundred of troops…

I live in Jersey (New). As a background, I’m at the edge of civilization, I like to joke. If you go west of me, there’s farms, what we call mountains, hiking, all that kinda stuff. To the east of me, it gets more and more urban until you get to NYC.

Here are my walking distances:

• To the nearest convenience store: half a mile
• To the nearest chain supermarket: 1 mile
• To the bus stop: half a mile
• To the nearest park: quarter mile
• To the nearest big supermarket: 1 mile (same as above)
• To the nearest library: I am 1 mile from two different libraries, pretty much smack in the middle.
• To the nearest train station: 1 mile

Adding:

• To the nearest mall: 1 mile
• To the nearest gym: quarter mile
• To the nearest hospital: 1.1 miles
• To the nearest ice cream parlor: .9 miles
• To the nearest record store: .9 miles
• To the nearest arcade: .9 miles

Straight-line distance to Big Ben: Just shy of 3500 miles. Straight-line distance to the Statue of Liberty: 30 miles

I would almost be okay with a proffer that it is bots asking the questions, but that the discourse is between human beings. That’s all I really care about. It’s rare that I respond directly to OP, or at least I do so less frequently than I’m responding to someone in the comments.

I remember back in the early days on forums, sometimes they’d just feel dead, and it was mainly a lack of content (threads). Once a thread would open, us morons behind keyboards could talk it to death, or more likely just divert in perpetuity.

The only redeeming quality about trump is he seems to be against the status quo of Republican/Democrat governance. Obviously he’s all sorts of fucking wrong in every way, but the way things have trended with Republicans and Democrats has not made the lives of average Americans better.

Someone said (and I’m terrible at remembering things like who) that Republicans make rules to benefit the rich, and Democrats make rules to benefit the poor and the rich. That is the status quo that we are left with. And right now, it’s unfortunately the status quo that I’m rooting for, because the alternative is worse.

Yeah, Hezbollah absolutely fired their IT guy after the second time it happened.

The description is the best part for me. It’s got me thoroughly scratching my head wondering if OP is some AI, but they’re here in the comments with us and clearly not.

Bout to dive into some Oreos though myself.

Bring back the supercharged Dodge Car-a-Van and we have ourselves a deal.

Midnight Club was my absolute jam back in the mid oughts, loved the shit out of that game. Kinda got away from the Arcade style racers, but that game has a special place for me.

Publicly shun people. You’re a rule breaker? You’ve been shunned by society and people who associate with you will be known associates of the shunned.

I’m in Jersey (New), and while we attended Catholic services, we weren’t exactly religious, and nor were my neighbors and the town in general. Perhaps it was regional. I have heard of this, just didn’t experience it. My parents also let a little bit of Satan into their lives sometimes too, as anyone who was in their 20s in the '80s did.

That blows, because we’re similar age, I’m born in '87, and I look back fondly at the freedom I had as a kid. It’s a bit how I intend to model my parenting around, although it’s hard to escape modern times in my mind sometimes. But my kids will wander around the neighborhood alone (in a couple of years, still too young), get dirty, stay out til the sun goes down, that kind of thing, with the caveat of not bothering people and their properties. Probably easier said than done on my part, we shall see.

Seems to be the business model that “applies” (is applied) everywhere. This desire to grow the product, despite the product being awesome already.

Way too close to Ligma, and I say that as an out-of-touch 37 year old.

Hey, I don’t want to get on you either, appreciate the submission. It was more a general gripe about how YouTube videos seem to replace articles.

Amen. If I cared more I’d it some requirement to at least have some kind of writeups when posting YTs.

There was just some assumption that the knowledge was somehow inherent, like the RF from cellphones entered the womb and taught them how to troubleshoot their PC.

Oh yeah, I wouldn’t cheat if I were playing with other humans, but sometimes I want to explore depths of a game that time just doesn’t permit, so I gotta skip the grind and get right to the part where I’m unkillable. And yeah, if you’re having fun, that is the point!
