Read my other replies, I acknowledged this as a failing on my part. Anyway, at least it’s for a concrete reason (too much stress from jump scares) versus a “fuck, I bought this game and have pretty much never played it/only played a few hours because whatever, I dunno” (see: Dragon Age Inquisition, Pillars of…

Yeah, exactly. I chose poorly here.

Loved the movie Seven but I think it only had one (that I recall), so it’s not out of the realm of possibility. This one sounded like it didn’t. Shame on me and my judgement I guess.

Sounds interesting! This sent me down a rabbit-hole of searching that led me to find the name of the amaro (Jannamico Amaro d’Abruzzo) that I had in Rome many years ago - but from my recollection of the flavor, this is a heavier one that might not be suited for this drink.

I missed the appearances of R2-KT. :( Probably was too busy being happy.

Love Gonks! They’ve been showing up a lot in the SWTOR MMORPG lately, which pleases me.

Not really, just preserving my general gaming enjoyment. Jump scares cause me a ton of tension and anxiety that I find hard to shake off easily. If something’s going to mess with my sleep, my unwinding from a long day, etc., then it’s of no use to me. Just like when I would only be a raid healer in WoW on nights where…

I hate jump scares, but bought Until Dawn on sale, not knowing they were included... now at least I know to not bother playing.

Probably would have been illegal in Tennessee; among other restrictions women have to have “counseling” first and then a 48-hour waiting period.

I’d read that they have to rule on each and every charge, so the sheer number of charges took time, beyond any deliberation on whether or not each was supported by the evidence.

Not everyone has that option, whether due to physical disability or lack of public transportation to a job. I am fortunate enough that I do live in an area with great public transit, but choosing to only have one car in my family - and I am grateful that this is a choice I have - limits where I can work, without…

Except when that nonfunctional car leads to job loss and possibly eviction, you mean.

As I noted in another comment, if she’s going to be unreasonable about it, at least she took out her ire on the correct target, the straw-restricting manager.

I have to give Straw Lady credit for taking out her extreme anger on the right candidate, at least.

Ugh, the freezer wrecks it too. Put it in an air-tight opaque container.

Yeah, that’s another matter entirely. Had the same issue with West Side Story at my then-super-duper-white high school; my sister was a Shark girl but is normally the “pick the lightest shade of makeup and hope that’s not too dark” type of skin tone.

Yeah, my dad was a menopause-age baby (has 3 older siblings). His mom lived to age 75, so he was relatively young when she went. But my dad died in his early 50s, and his dad was alive and rather active and lively at the time, age 97. (He lived about 5 more years after that.)

Christ. He has two bruises/scrapes on his cheeks, and she looks like he stomped and punched her everywhere he could reach. Her damned feet are bruised, like he stomped them.

They also make break-away lanyards for health care workers, so that if a combative patient (dementia, pissed off, etc.) grabs hold, you’re not going to get strangled or dragged with it.

Someone wrote to Dan Savage with the suggestion to the effect of ER staff include “flared base” suggestions in their discharge instructions for problem patients like that.
