Well shit. I guess I can’t play it anymore. There’s still duotrigordle, waffle, and a million others though. Plus I was starting to see ads on the app.

If it happens past your lifetime, it doesn’t matter. So for sure it’ll pass. These sayings are meant to apply to you, not history.

I look back to the serenity prayer, which is really just a bit of Buddhism: “Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

The Buddhist path is “why is there suffering in the world?” Because of attachment. You want things to stay the same. Things change. You want your parents to live forever. You don’t want to be sick. You wish your job didn’t suck. Why can’t I just win the lottery and have my problems go away? You want to cling to the good times and not have the bad. You can let go of the bad, and the resultant suffering because of it will fade. Letting go is incredibly hard, because our biological bodies are hard wired on routines. But if you can overcome that, and accept that whatever happened, happened, you can move forward. You can’t change the past. And whether you like it or not, time and the world moves forward. You can move forward with it, or let something hold you back.

And just to clarify, I’m an atheist, so my understanding of both the Serenity Prayer and Buddhism are seen through the lense of someone that doesn’t believe in an afterlife or religion in general (strict Buddhism is not a religion). I encourage you to find your own conclusions.

It didn’t even occur to me that people were firing rockets, etc, from Lebanon into Israel. Duh. That makes a lot of sense, and I just assumed they fired from Gaza and so forth. Well today I learned.

Hopefully your actually pertinent information will continue to be upvoted. Thank you!

Those old tv shows where they casually eat breakfast before work make more sense. They weren’t up at 6, rushing to get to work by 8. They had a whole hour more.

So I don’t know if I missed it, but what’s Israel’s justification for attacking another sovereign country? And I saw they were talking about putting settlers there? Aren’t they essentially doing what Russia is doing to Ukraine? Why isn’t the UN coming down on them?

Elon funded PayPal, and they forced him out when it became successful and he wanted to change its name to X. I’m not making that up. So you likely used PayPal at some point.

That’s a really innovative idea, and solves a lot of transportation problems since phonographs were usually stationary in a house.

However, the size doesn’t fix the problem of carrying around 10" disks to play on it, so the setup is only as compact as its components. Still better than carrying around a cabinet, though!

Yep, that’s exactly what it did. Maybe there was a way to do it, say if you had a VPN, but people picked up pretty quick to ban a single IP.

A lot of the actual, serious ones that knew what they were doing got caught. Some went to lulsec to be jerks with no agenda and were caught by the Feds. All that was left were script kiddies that downloaded the Low Orbit Ion Cannon and used scripts they find online. Then they left or were overtaken by alt right idiots.

The original Anonymous are in their 30s and 40s by now. Everyone ages out.

It’s probably more sanitary in Japan, but in the US I could see the guy sitting in the both next to me sneezing directly into the water, licking his chopsticks before attempting (and missing) some noodles. Then giving up and using his hands, that he didn’t wash after coming back from the toilet.

Kind of like buffets.

I just want to ride on my motorcycle

If I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die historic on the Fury Road!

I really enjoyed the first one, so I’m looking forward to this as well. They made a pretty good historical have that was also entertaining, and felt much more realistic than something like Skyrim without being too hardcore.

The problem is you remember eating it as a kid. Drinking lots of Coke/Pepsi/mountain dew, hostess cakes, and all that other over flavored, ultra processed food covered with sugar and salt.

Now, as you’ve grown, your taste buds aren’t used to the barrage and it’s just too much to enjoy the nostalgia. Probably because they’ve steadily increased the additives to make it more appealing to an increasingly desensitized palette.

I feel the same way. I eat much healthier, feel better, and save nostalgia for movies instead of food.

I’m actually surprised this is an unpopular opinion. I guess a lot of people here are early 20s? It’s easier to get back into the processed enjoyment mode then, maybe.

In the off chance I only exist to argue with you on the Internet, I feel like it’s my duty to say you’re wrong and have nothing to back up my viewpoint because the resources weren’t allotted to have any supported data.

I hope I exist tomorrow.

Try using a non-alcohol-based lotion. If you can’t find one, I’ve had good success with Eucerin. I put lotion on my face and scalp right after my shower, and don’t have any itchiness or flakes.

I couldn’t find a shampoo that fixed anything for me.

If you have it on your elbows or knees (very common), you can try Aquaphor at night. That is pretty sticky, but keeps your skin calm and moist.

A dermatologist can give you some prescription lotion/cream, as well. That also works, but it’s typically a small tube and expensive.

Oops, I corrected it. I must’ve been confusing the name with Michael Dorn.

Yeah you might want to look up Christopher Dorner. When he didn’t want to go along with the rest of the force, they hunted and killed him. You have to either conform with the gang or be expelled.

EDIT: Christopher, not Michael. I think I was confusing his name with a Klingon.

It’s pretty decent at stopping mosquitoes from getting to your skin, sun burn is lessened, but our technology definitely can overcome that. It just takes a little more effort than existing, like hair does.

This could be a case of them cutting multiple covers at once.

I had the same problem with jeans. I order the exact same style and size, but they don’t all fit the same. When I spoke to a Levi customer service person, they said they have multiple layers of fabric piled on top. Then the cutting blade presses down, and the fabric bends. As the top one is to short on measurements, the bottom most one is to long. So you want one in the middle.

I know paper isn’t fabric, but it could be something similar. It’s speed and efficiency over accuracy.
