I’m not criticizing you or your choices on this matter or anything, but I’m pretty sure Epic is almost as happy with this outcome as they would be with you buying the game on the Epic store. Both scenarios eat Valve’s lunch in the end.

I think I’m picking up what you’re putting down Kal, but I have to say - In my opinion, you sound like someone who is neither especially Republican OR conservative, but isn’t ready to accept it. I know that probably sounds really pedantic, and I apologize for that, but I’m trying to simplify my argument to save us…

Did you build up to all that stuff? As in, did you try boring, cheap littler and scooping before you went with fancy high-tech litter and a robot?

I believe the answers many of you seek in this thread lie in how modern PCs handle SSDs. At least, that’s what I had narrowed the issue down to before deciding I no longer cared. SSDs perform a quick write operation before powering down, which windows/BIOS/UEFI detects and misidentifies as activity, which then wakes…

I don’t know, guys. Could be liquor, though he’s not known to be a drinker.

capable? yes, absolutely. But not especially well-known for it, and that was sort of the point I was trying to make: However well intentioned someone is or appears to be, trying to deny ownership of words or actions that bring harm to another is a good sign that they’re to be treated with caution, and no amount of…

I in no way wish to advocate for Louis; what he has done is completely monstrous.

“that guy is a piece of shit with bad motives.”

Ehh... I get what you’re saying, but I’m not sure I agree with you. When you take his advice in the appropriate context (How do I explain courting to a 12 year-old?), I think he did a decent job of encouraging the right behavior; act like you’re not so eager to get a date, and especially take it slow when you think…

There’s winning the internet, and then there’s slaying it dead. All the stars.

True story: just 5 months ago or so, someone we hired managed to, on their first day of work, say that and something far worse.

She’s a fortune teller, and therefore makes her money by exploiting the grief and/or credulity of others for financial gain. I hope her claim of parentage isn’t the only falsehood of hers that is exposed, and I hope it pains her.

That sounds lovely, nothing like nerdy love!

Yup.

Most likely, that’s the crux of the issue, and in either of those scenarios, I feel this bears repeating: don’t poop where you eat, people!

Listen,m I don’t know you. And as far as I’m aware, this is the only thing of yours I’ve ever read. I don’t actually expect you to need this or take me up on the offer even if you do, but - If you ever find yourself in Lansing again, and need to get away from your family; for serious, message me privately, and my…

“Oh, so my opinion doesn’t matter? Good luck fighting for civil rights without white allies!”

As an athiest who vapes, I take offense at the implication that I possess whatever inherent character flaw or flaws are required to find Bill Maher’s tired schtick watchable.

Home Depot sells Craftsmen these days, actually. It’s...weird.

Credit where it’s due: that *was* a solid nerd-burn. I was picked on a lot when I was in primary school, but I was also an enthusiast of comedy; if I was teased especially well, it probably cheered me up more than any low-effort compliment would have. It certainly caused less confusion.
