I hope they post each contenders stats such as height, weight, special debate tactic, and respective drug cocktail mixes

Besides the right turn in to a brick wall at the end (probably a requirement to get the article posted tbh) I feel this a lot. All social interactions feel wrong because everyone is afraid to talk about reality. If you get to close to a real topic everyone is socially trained to change the subject to avoid talking about something uncomfortable.

Is there anything at all that is innovative about this metal brick?

you laugh but this is the product documentation manual that comes in the glove box

Back when I drank way too much soda I’d only buy a drink if it came with free refills so I’d see this reducing sales if anything.

I wonder if chud will have the same reaction to a Wendy’s branded medkit in whatever Tom Clancy shit they’re on now

This is incredibly funny I’m so sorry

Also what Egon said

jackett is pretty good

Thanks, you’re right. I wish I could be reminded of this more often.

I was talking with a parent some time ago. Her daughter was really sweet and sociable with everyone. She expressed some concern that she was struggling with finding a way to limit / curtail / correct (I don’t remember the exact wording) that behavior because it wasn’t always safe. At the time, I was thinking more about how crime is hyper focused in media so I pushed back a bit and said I didn’t think it was something she should worry about and it was great that her daughter was so outgoing and friendly. I discussed it with a friend and she reminded me that I’m a self-absorbed dude who’s never had to worry about that and I really regret saying it.

If I could apologize to that parent now (maybe I’ll see her again idk) I’d say that it sucks that our society makes being such a wonderful person like her daughter so hazardous. I gave it 0 thought and talked out of my ass

Oh this? Heh, just the next big thing (besides us) I’m thinking it could officiate at our wedding wouldn’t that be epic

Is there a way to review what choices you made in a previous save?

No, I get that. I mean I have no clue what the scope of the reduction would be, but I get that it would extend to things I take for granted and couldn’t predict. I do wonder when i’m enjoying things - what if I couldn’t have this? maybe I’d have a scratched lib moment when I can’t have comfortable shoes or tumeric. Or maybe i’ll be dead in whatever nuclear exchange precedes that. I prefer not to think about it too much.

What actually worries me is the US has lost so much of its industrial capacity. The chuds are right about that aspect - if the US did have to trade on even terms wtf does this country have to offer that’s not being stripped out by the capitalists and sold off.

That tracks, I was exaggerating on the “everyone” line now that I think about it. Like I do like a pineapple every now and then but if there weren’t any I find it hard to imagine there are people that decide they gotta for their treats.
