I’m not sure where your tone comes from. Yes, I grew up there and lived in Iowa until I graduated from ISU.

The story also stinks of a guy who knows not to drive drunk on a main road so he took a back road where the cops wouldn’t catch him.

I’m amazed at this game. I beat it a week ago (accidentally - I triggered the final fight thinking I wasn’t even close to it), and I’m still playing. Now, I have all the shrines and I’m working on getting the armors all upgraded. It’s just fun; I can’t wait for DLC.

Occasionally there’s some sort of reference to bourgeois that makes me sit up and say, “Today is my day!” It’s a good feeling, congrats to you on having this day.

There’s so much ideology mixed in with that job. I can totally understand that they see the people they’re deporting as criminals and literal scofflaws, and laws should be enforced, etc. What I don’t understand is the fervent belief that this is making the country a better place in some way.

The way he’s standing makes my mind think he’s holding a walking stick/cane like Mr. Fucking Peanut.

You could go way further back than that, except, did Ford do anything? I’m sure there was some Cold War shenanigans.

I need to ask my mom about all the Amway stuff we used when I was a kid. They’re actually good products that we used instead of store-bought soap, detergents, granola bars, kool-aid (irony), and more. I think my parents just didn’t get pressured to be another level on the pyramid.

The Starter Set is the perfect intro for players and the DM both, and there are resources online for balancing it for different player counts. I would recommend against letting anyone play more than one character.

Please god, take all the oranges you want. Better than splattered on my hood or eaten by rats.

And this is why D&D is awesome.

As far as the general population goes, I think Barack is not a very cool person; he’s probably around average. As far as presidents go, he is the coolest motherfucker ever to sit in the Oval Office.

I think the Starter Set adventure, Lost Mines of Phandelver is uninspired on purpose. It’s made to have new players say, “Oh, goblins, I know what they are. Orcs! Got it. A dragon!” Then it moves on into very D&D stuff like a mini-beholder and a drow.

Yeah, getting a new player to also learn the UI of an online game is a bridge too far for many.

1981-1978=3, but I suppose I was more likely 2 and some change now that you make me think harder about it.

I’m so happy I already played this mission. Having to go through it with this article echoing in my head would have been even worse.

In the interest of not piling on to Major, I want to point out to you that I’m 38 and was 3 years old when this happened; I have never heard of the incident. It’s stretching the definition of younger folk that don’t know about this.

I got the middle-quality $20 bread knife at Ikea and it changed my life (in a minor and mostly inconsequential way). For the cost of the upgrade I absolutely think it’s worth it.

Only eggplant turns that nasty color out of the oven, so I’m going with eggplant parmesan, baked beyond edibility.

Too many uppers, can’t sit back and relax.
