Yeah, my first thought was sleep apnea. If OP sleeps alone, there are phone apps that will record and analyze the sounds you make through the night. This can be a good precursor to getting a doctor’s opinion.

Nuh uh. Bae’zel wouldn’t apologize. She’d be like, “Hey, you remember that time we beat each other bloody, then fucked like owlbears? That was hot, wasn’t it?”

One of the many, many different forms of voter suppression. Done your time? Somehow become rehabilitated in our awful prison system? Fuck it, you’re still a voiceless space-taking non-citizen until you die

I see No One Lives Forever in there. I would love love love to see those games listed and maybe even another sequel, but my understanding is the IP ownership is caught in limbo and very unlikely to ever escape.

I can do that too. Bonus since I sprained one at 16, I’ll just be randomly walking along when something in my ankle makes an audible pop and dislocates for just long enough for me to stumble and take another step.

I had a wrist sprain a few years back and got an X-ray. They told me my ulna was about a millimeter longer than it probably should be. I’m wondering if that’s the case for most of my joints and that’s why I creak like gammy’s favorite rocking chair

If anyone else read this headline and thought about how busy the ACLU is going to be this term, here is the page where you can provide financial support.

I’m sure the Dems will get around to round 3 after the midterms, but unless there’s a staggeringly large blue wave, it’s not going to go anywhere that time either.

We’re a large financial institution who got dinged to hell in a recent regulatory audit. The pace of change around here could aptly be described as glacial. It was a big culture shock coming here from an MSP after years of Small/Medium Biz roles.

An LGBT person might decide that’s an acceptable risk if it allows them the chance to deter or prevent violence against them from the increased number of empowered bigots walking around in Trump’s America

Sigh. I’m on the team that manages the phone and IM platform for my organization. We are on Cisco Jabber which is admittedly super outdated at this point. Around covid times, we got a new hot-shit CEO who replaced most of our upper management. The new CTO looked at our mature and relatively painless Cisco environment, heard our pleas to let us upgrade to WebEx Teams (Cisco’s replacement for Jabber) and said, “Nope. I had MS Teams at my last job, and I want that here.”

Roll forward five years and the CEO is long since kicked out, the CTO just left, and we’re right around the corner of our AD/Exchange team FINALLY moving us to M365 and giving us access to the tenant so we can START learning what this monster is going to take to manage.

Fucking C-suites…

I hope you’re not referring to this fight between Keith David and Roddy Piper. First, Keith David’s never been a wrestler, and second, it’s a hilariously awkward, unnecessary, and drawn out fight that deserves love, not scorn.

Was there some other fight with a pro wrestler in the movie that I forgot about? It’s been a while since I saw it and didn’t see any wrestlers I recognized in the main cast.

The first MK movie was the archetypal “It’s good… for a video game adaptation” movie for a long time. Luckily now we have great adaptations (not necessarily movies though) to point to that stand on their own merits.

But yeah, there’s always a part of me that will have fond memories of MK and the JCVD Street Fighter movie. Hell, add Double Dragon to that list.

We don’t elect presidents anymore. We elect short(-ish) term kings

Which population numbers are you using for this graph? Census data for 2020 has LA county at 10.01 million and NC and Georgia at 10.45 and 10.73 million respectively. (for the second link, click on the Table 1 PDF. I didn’t want to link to a PDF directly). 2023 numbers seem to have LA county trending down while those states are trending up.

It’s still a staggering visual to compare population densities. I just thought the claim was a bit suspect regarding my state.

Good point. I remember needing a pretty beefy PC to run Civ V at launch. Even coming back to it after a hardware upgrade, the game could get pretty chuggy towards the end of a playthrough.

Not to mention folks on crutches.

No, Reubens got his ticket and went into the theater like a normal weirdo. Beating it outside the box office is just being extra.

People also have less disposable income. It’s easy to be lazy and keep a streaming service or two going that you’re not really using when money is flowing. When you have to cinch the belt, you tend to remember that you can cancel at any time and just jump from one service to another.

Assuming you don’t have more… piratic tendencies.

A picture from this ABC article shows gas cans, camping stove cans, and fireworks in the back of the truck. The truck battery somehow survived.

Is this some New Social Media platform problem I’m too elder millenial to understand?
