TIL: if your pet dies you are probably at fault, and most likely are killing them and are a bad person.

Except a lot of crafting was locked behind mythics, so you were forced into them if you wanted to advance that.  Plus drop rates on story progression items were so poor in pugs that again, if you ever wanted to know how the story ended, you were forced into higher tiers of raiding.

What kind of Warlock am I, aside from one terrified someone with damage counters on is going to kick him from the group for under-performing?

Balls. The most delicate organ on the body. One tap and you’re out for the count. How is this a measure of strength again?

But, but, but. She called him an ‘asshat’. ASSHAT! How are white men supposed to go on after that kind of racially motivated violence?? Heads had to roll!

I think so much of the problem is that advertisers have made this bed for themselves. They are more and more intrusive, which forces consumers to find more and more ways to block them. I realize no one wants an advertisement to be forgettable or easily overlooked, but once you start doing autoplay videos, pop ups,…

I started seeing them two to three times a day, and that’s when I quit whitelisting.  I tend to leave on streaming stuff in the background while I work, so it’s probably that I had a higher chance of seeing them.  Now I just watch Twitch instead of Youtube.

Yeah, I whitelisted a few Youtube creators I like, only to have the trust returned in the form of 6 minute long unskippable music videos, and 10 minute unskippable ads. Back on goes the noscript.

I used to have a tupperware container strapped to one of the legs on my computer desk. That way I could drop in and swap out my cat’s preferred 711 slurpee cups full of water since that’s the only thing she wanted to drink from, and this way she couldn’t knock them over.

Yeah I was taking a look at those. The thing about the Sims is that they release a $52 (CDN) DLC, and then a $26 DLC for the DLC, and then a $13 DLC for the DLC’s DLC.

That’s a good point.  I saw a sale recently on it with some 50% off sales, but I got put off by Origin’s terrible UI.  I’ll have to keep it on the backburner.

I both like, and dislike these columns. I’m a big Sims 3 fan and I am interested in trying Sims 4, but man, the cheapest I could work it out to on Origin was about $400. I can’t justify paying that. Even if you just stuck with the bare bones essentials, it’s over $250 just to have kids, seasons, adventures, and the…

All that acclaim and she wears poorly matched plastic ears with visible seams? The horror. ;)

“Holy shit having a child is draining, I haven’t slept in months, diapers are so expensive, and my life has turned upside down. Hey, maybe an abortion is a great idea if I ever get pregnant again!”

Man, do I feel the section on ideas being dismissed if a woman says them. I am a tech specialist, the only one in my company (~1500 employees). In terms of my specialty, I know more on aggregate than anyone else in my company. Good luck getting a specific group of guys to listen though.

Welcome back, Mike.  We’ve missed you, and I wish you nothing but good health and continued improvements from here on.

! I had a black and white boy with very similar markings, also named Nomi. The shelter called him ‘Nomad’, which I immediately shortened to Nomi, but his real nickname was Nonners.

When I was a kid, our family cat was named Falafel.

I just feel more second hand embarrassment. They are trying so hard to be edgy and daring and it’s all about what you’d get from a bunch of 14 year old virgins trying to talk a big game. It’s just boobs, dildos, and a bath house. Okay? You can get more racy material in the newspaper.
