Huh. When I was a kid, I used to read the FFVII Prima guide like a novel. I used to love getting the strategy guide for a game - it felt like I was being let in on a secret extra layer of the world I was running around in.

Sounds like you were involved with a narcissist who gaslighted you badly. I was married to one for way too long and the recovery road is certainly a trip.  

My head thinks really fast and I can spiral really easily so anything you can do to find tranquility helps. I also consciously stopped dating or having any kind of romantic relationship for over a year. Even after, I intentionally didn’t go looking for anything for awhile,

Your available selection of Honda dealers is incredibly lousy! I wonder how the dealer with 20 Clarity PHEVs is going to get rid of them if they won’t negotiate on price? It’s doubtful they’ve been following Honda’s requirements to keep them charged to prevent damage to the Li-Ion battery pack, so the eventual owners…

How did your price negotiations go with the Tesla?

I was really heartbroken; EGM singlehandedly deepened my love of gaming and introduced me to games that I would have never have come across otherwise (Space Station Silicon Valley!). Plus, taught me a lot of fun words to use on my way to an English Education degree; I always appreciate how well-written, witty, and…

This is why I love being part of this community- sometimes a stranger is better able to comfort. 

For sure it has some utility, otherwise people wouldn’t use those gadgets and services.

Sleeping with my ex right now and can confirm it is 100% NOT letting me move on. I was doing great before that happened. Now I’m back with all the feels, even though he’s moved on he keeps coming back bc I let him. I started seeing someone after we broke up and ended up pushing that super nice guy away bc I suddenly…

somewhat, but the pensions and retirement benefits offered to new employees is much worse than what hires were offered 20-30 years ago.

didn’t he do some big crowdfunding thing, but then didn’t really commit to what was funded?

This is how it’s working everywhere now. The only time you get a decent pay increase is when you either leave for a new job or threaten to leave for a new job .

No hate here, but he has small team that’s expanding. I agree he needs a separate department for just that.

Your spending days have just begun, P. Trust me.

Exactly!! Bring it on. If there are credible accusations, they should actually be investigated and appropriate punishments pursued for any wrongdoing.

Al Franken, John Edwards, Anthony Weiner, Eric Schneiderman. With the exception of Bill Clinton, Dems know what to do with sexual abusers in their ranks, as much as it hurts sometimes.

Yup.  If Democrats nominate a rapist, we’d want to know about it.  Apparently that counts as a high moral bar these days.

Go ahead, conservatives. Find a bunch of highly-credible and professionally-successful women willing to accuse democratic SCOTUS nominees of sexual assault.

Though when home CD burners came out they were not always of the highest quality either. I’ve lost count of how many ‘coasters’ I created burning files to disk. For years I’d only burn stuff at 2x-4x for fear anything faster would just create another shiny Frisbee.

God, those screenshots bring me back to the early days of the app store when an app with a sleek design felt so cool. I think I installed this app and never used it because I just liked having the icon on my homescreen like one would have a promising book on their shelf.
