Not the OP but I have read the book. It’s very unique and the story is told in some pretty strange ways. Parts are written backwards, in code, in the margin of the pages, etc. I think it’s a great experience and I’m glad to see it on that table. I’ve never read anything else like it.

Why would you say that?

I want to understand this as well. It’s the same type of people that are susceptible to other types of scams I think. Like thinking you’re dating a celebrity and you’re the only person they can turn to for financial help. So I sent my retirement funds to Pamela Anderson. We’ll move in together soon, she promised a bunch of times. She just needs a little more money and she’ll pay it all back plus the investments she’s been doing for me. So I guess people that want to believe so badly that there’s a super easy way to get unlimited money that all critical thinking just gets tossed out.

I watched his video doing a walkthrough of the damage yesterday. It’s really sad. Not just his collection of all this stuff that he is so passionate about, but his whole house. So much damage caused by nature. I hope he’s able to get things back to semi-normal soon.

I’m ready to find out what real money is. This fake money is too hard to get.

Totally agree with this. I’ve been on and off the apps for years and they get worse each time I try again. There is a population of people that use dating apps like a game trying to get the high score with the points being likes and matches. It’s just another form of social media at this point.

Awesome. I appreciate that. I’ll pray to the battery gods that your cart still has all your save data on it. Most of my carts are still good. A couple Gameboy carts no longer hold save data, but otherwise all good. Someday I am going to look into replacing those batteries.

I will have to check that out. Since it’s Japanese, do I need to look for an English patch or does the normal rom have English text?

I had one friend that had that game, I had WCW vs NWO Revenge, and then later on the pinnacle of wrestling games, WWF No Mercy.

Is the Sovcit movement founded on grifting? That’s something that is been thinking about recently. Because there are websites that sell fake plates and different things that these people buy. I’ve seen some videos where people are on the phone with advisors during traffic stops. Is this actually a business at this point?

In my experience, it’s a lot of music that I already know I like. I don’t feel like I get much given to me that I wasn’t already aware of. With Pandora, you create stations that are based off of a specific band or song. If you are listening to a Rage Against the Machine station, you’re going to definitely hear Rage Against the Machine and then stuff that is similar. What I do is put it on shuffle for a group of selected stations and that gives me what I want.

I’m in the 23% on the American side of the chart that uses Pandora. I don’t see any reason to switch. I’ve been working on it knowing my preferences for like 20 years now.

Now I really want to start a business selling this stuff. I wonder if there are disclaimers on the site just in case someone tries to sue for it not working. Or are these people so convinced that it’s all on the government that sueing someone selling this stuff wouldn’t cross their minds?

I think Birdo is under represented in the games. I’d love to see Birdo in more than just as a character for multi player games like Mario Kart.

The argument that it’s not a real Mario game is a bit silly really. There are long standing pieces of Mario lore that came from Mario 2. Luigi being taller and more slim, Peach being able to float, shy guys came from Mario 2 and they are a staple enemy in certain other games and Yoshi games.

I don’t want AI, but strictly imagining doesn’t work as well for us visual learners. I guess AI porn would work for someone that has a fetish for extra fingers or something.

Well I guess reading that is now a permanent memory for me.

I have used it in the past. I feel that it’s more user friendly than many of the others. You have the option to message someone at the same time that you like them. You can see the likes that you get so you have the option to match immediately if you’re interested. As far as I know, there is no paid version.

They argue the definition of the word “drive” so you can’t use that. I’m not certain where their definition comes from, but they argue that “driving” is only for commerce. So that’s why they always say they are “traveling”. So they don’t need a driver’s license because that is only for someone using a vehicle for business. From all I’ve seen, this typically results mostly in fines and court appearances. The fines they refuse to pay and they claim they can’t “appear” somewhere.

People like to talk shit about Limp Bizkit, but you’re lying if you grew up during this period and say you didn’t rock out to these songs. If you grew up in the 90s, you 100% knew this song, Faith, and Rollin at minimum.
