You’ve flown or you’ve flown in? Presumable the former, but I know people from where I’m from use flown to mean flown in. If you’ve only been airborne three times, and all in separate crafts, that’s something special in and of itself.

I’m with you. I’ve been having a harder time getting up. Looking forward to having the sun at 7 o’clock latest, get me up, because I got shit to do. I can stay awake no problem.

Hell March was a jam, whoever wrote it hopefully got an award. I got a kick out of how From First to Last eventually remade it too, the song transcended the game.

Grew up in the '90s, really loved Red Alert, loved the movie Clue, and so to see Tim Curry join in was a pretty special thing for me as a kid. Guy was awesome.

Yeah, I’ve turned into the one who doesn’t want to go out anymore, but I’m also going out tonight because I know the door swings both ways and that relationships don’t maintain themselves. I think my friends get it, and I get it, and so we remain friends.

My town has a golden retriever. He’s basically just a mascot, he goes around with one of the school resource officers, helps police engage with young people in the community. I know this is not exactly what you’re referring to.

This is the one that got me. I have zero faith in it loading.

The franglais in me screams that neufant ought to be acceptable. I’m sure Canadians are saying it, who knows what language they really speak.

Franglais is my language of choice after several drinks in any French speaking country. I am from Jersey, New, so it’s the best I can do with my education.

That is news to me. Never thought to dig too deeply into my French studies in middle and high school (two decades ago), and so “apple of the earth” was just appropriate. Like, yeah, why wouldn’t it be apple of the earth?

I think they’re downvoting the Squid, not the content of the post. I imagine a poster like Flying Squid has made some enemies along the way, the kind of people who literally go and downvote all their posts.

I’ll take what I said on Reddit and bring it here: Don’t comment on downvotes, they don’t matter.

I pirate first, and when I’ve really enjoyed a book I add a physical copy to the collection. I just can’t get behind paying for digital shit, for the reasons enumerated in this thread here. I just wish there was more direct-to-creator payments. Music and literature are perfect mediums to give directly to the artists who create it. I don’t give a fuck about whoever paid fir the digital ink. Maybe the record people get a little money.

My wife is big on library, and I need to, but I grew up just pirating stuff, so here we are. But she has a book club, and she’ll place a request for the book, and in the event it’s not yet available, she maintains the request but I get it for her. And for me personally, when I like a book or a series, I go and snag them later. I just prefer reading in Kindle anymore.

Was gonna say, dude has no hair; his body is just a rectangle. Headbanging, I’ll give it a maybe.

My kids are young and so it’s just a given they’re going to smudge my shit. One day…

They promise they won’t do it again.

This thread has me questioning my propensity for empathy. I never for a minute imagined, outside of folks with medical issues, that it was a problem. This has me interested. If I were a scientist and not just some guy, I’d study it.

As a kid, I had difficulty, as kids tend to. One day, as others have mentioned, it clicked, and sometimes I have several pills in there at once; e.g., Mucinex 12h, two Sudafed, two ibuprofen is a common combination on the rare occasion I’m sick.

As a kid, I recall practicing on Kraft Deluxe Mac n cheese, swallowing without chewing, and I think, from there, it just kind of developed. So load up on Kraft Deluxe, folks, cheese up that esophagus.

And these goddamn pharma companies putting binders and shit in so you can’t medically boof em.

Why fly a kite when you can just pop a pill?

Ha, very much the same. The number of games I own is far greater than the number of games I’ve played. And like our universe, those two numbers will continue to grow apart in perpetuity.
