Case

Not interested in Balrato.

A steam deck is also out of reach for now.

Thanks for the regs, and I hadn’t check that podcast out in a while. Good reason to get back it!

I’m curious as to how much casino’s rig their shit.

MIL is a gambler, a bad one too. I don’t think numbers will help her, but my wife could use them to try to dissuade her mother. At least, deter. Damage control.

Do you have any documentation?

Ok, but imaging playing one of the new Doom games with that set up:

Action starts to get intense.

The tension, and temperature rises.

Suddenly, a whisper at the back of your mind “hail satan hail satan hail satan”

As more enemies appear, and the temperature rises, it becomes louder, pulsing in your ears. Somehow a whisper that is now shouting.

As you cleanse the demonic filth, the chanting subsides and stops, bringing a measure of peace, at least for the moment.

Yep, got out of school right in time for a recession.

Changed paths, got certified as a pharmacy tech. You can work for a year without being certified as a pharmacy tech, so I was applying before I ever had my piece of paper. I didn’t receive my first call about any of those applications until 2012.

I never found work in that field, and left my home state for seasonal work. I later came back home and crashed into a two year depression. Like, clinical emergency intervention depression. Not sleeping, not eating, not bathing, all that shit.

This time Trump is at the helm. I have no hope. I have no faith in the country I was born in to do the right thing. I assume the military oath all service members take will be forgotten under a banner dripping the blood of “undesirables”, and chants of MAGA.

Makes me fucking sick.

Death certificate works too. Sort of a final medical certificate, lol.

No, I’m not calling for violence. He’s old, his mind is failing him (tertiary syphilis should really be considered) , and he has a steady diet of garbage topped off with diet coke, plus whatever drugs he can get his hands on.

The man is not long for the world, we’ll just see if he croaks before or after his term is up. If before, we get Vance… so not great. If after, we really may get to test the military oath to constitution if he doesn’t want to leave his position peacefully. Sadly, Vegas odds are not looking good for the average citizen.

If they spent just one business day on this, that’d be 8000 man hours, at least as I understand it.

Stretch that out to a single agent working standard work weeks (40 hours) that breaks down to 200 work weeks for a single agent.

That is almost 4 years of work for a single agent, assuming no vacations or other time off (illness, car trouble, etc)

I don’t know if that helps you quantify it, but it helped put it in perspective for me.

My wife’s is a chip dip that involves Kraft Roka Blue, and cream cheese. I think there’s a meaty element involved, like chicken broth too?

I dunno, that shit is delicious. Roka Blue seemed to be hard to find, but was available around Christmas so we’d always stock up.

My dish would be the bacon explosion.

There is a basic run down on it.

I have also substituted ground beef and added cheddar cheese in the past.

Its a greasy delicious mess.

Also, if you eat it the night before a cholesterol test, it will fuck up your levels lol.

Ah yes, the leather daddy BDSM iconic gay “look” that these totally hetero men who go on long trips together to scenic areas without women, and with vibrations the whole way to excite the twig and berries, and a nice massage to relax the rear end.

Bigger stretch than professional wrestling, but not much.

God fearing, homosexual hating trailer park kids don’t realize that watching two oiled up men in spandex is… well, pretty fucking gay. Not meant to be disparaging, I just mean the only things missing are penetration and a money shot.

Offset by a nice (from a fashion sense, not cost) watch? My wife would be drooling lol.

Now if only I had Chris Hemsworth’s Thor physique to go with it.

Or its a way for the kid to maintain some autonomy, but if the mom gets up at 2am to pee, she can see her kid came home. No one gets disturbed. Mom can go back to bed without worry.

Or dad, sorry, not trying to be gendered. Just a reflection of my upbringing I suppose.

What if we could do it cheaper and even more inhumane?

-Some GOP nut, probably - or not probably too many polysyllabic words.

I overdosed on nicotine by accident.

I had a bottle of liquid from my refillable vape in my pocket that came open. Yes, it will go through the skin into your system.

ODing on nicotine, at least at the level I did lead to strong anxiety, heart palpitations, tachycardia, and projectile vomiting.

Also, I had a seizure after I finished dying outside and walked into work for my minimum wage job, right in the entry way.

I am epileptic though, so I’m not entirely sure if that related - as I was undiagnosed and untreated at the time. Making minimum wage with no medical benefits, choosing healthcare is a difficult decision over food and a roof.

I haven’t gotten a raise in almost 10 years.

Different companies.

Moved to a different state.

Now I just can’t find work period.

Inflation isn’t the only problem.

Serious question:

I moved to an area that should be 5 degrees cooler on average than home, but this summer is killing me and I have a lot of stuff outside to work on, plus I recently got back on my meds, which all have heat sensitivity advisories so, yeah… probably not helping, but bipolar meds are generally fairly necessarily, unfortunately.

So, the question: Where could I purchase a legit Bedouin robe for the cooling effects; preferably online as I don’t think they have too many robe shops in central AR?

I’m not afraid to look like a weirdo in my own back yard.

Hell the neighbors on one side a retired potheads with strong hippy vibes, the other side is a young family of musicians… the dude rocks a waxed handle bar mustache regularly so I really don’t care for his opinions on style. To each their own.

I mean, if you have daughters send em to the work the corner. Probably a much better ROI if you can overlook being your daugher’s pimp.

Sadly, the younger the daughter, probably the better ROI both over time and initially. Now I feel gross for recognizing that evil exists in this world as more than just a concept, some people embody it.

No kids. Just alcoholics for relatives. Yes. Being able to track their location during a bender would be great, simply for some damage control.

That was before we changed states to live the fuck alone, just man and wife ~and three pitbulls, four cats, a bunny, and now three pekin ducks~

From my experience, anyone that works with doctors despise them, so that road certainly goes both ways.

Also, from my experience, they tend to love when you pick up the phone at 4am, remote into their machine, and just fix their problem so they can get back to work.

Day shift people suck anyways.

Don’t be self conscious, be self aware .

If your wedding tackle has shifted at all during your swim, may be try to get out away from the others a bit, not a creepy amount, but like… Be on one end of the group, turn away slightly when transitioning from water to land, place your hands “casually” in a way to cover yourself without drawing attention, all sorts of little tricks you’ll internalize before you know it, but it starts with being self aware.

Yeah, and if you get out of the water and have a “flattering” outline in your shorts, its suddenly becomes a much larger issue being the only adult male, and with children around… eesh.
