I held my dog’s paws with tears in my eyes when the vet gave him the medicine that would end his suffering. It was the most gut wrenching moment of my life (well, until my dad died months later), and this was over a dog I initially didn’t even WANT in the first place. FUCK. I hope bad things happen to Kristi Noem and only Kristi Noem.

The proliferation of "easy" ways to gamble (ESPECIALLY when it comes to sports betting) continues to do incalculable societal damage.

hell yeah Trump 2024

The most important part for me (not that I'd ever use the damned thing at all) is allowing research as to finally attempt to obtain empirical evidence as to the degree of harm/benefit its use entails.

Before the pandemic, I had finally moved out from my parents into my own apartment, met up with friends I originally knew from IGN, was in decent shape, and adopted my own kitten. Since then, nothing has gone right for me. I've grown ugly, fat, and balding, every friend I've known has distanced themselves from me, I have no money, developed a crippling alcohol addiction, my cat refuses to use the litterbox and pee on the rug, and not a day has gone by where I haven't thought about death or suicide.

I am the author of this game. Thank you very much for posting about it on the forum! I have played both Eye of the beholder, Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back in the 80's. My dream have allways been to create one of these games on my own. Thanks to Unity3D I have fulfilled mn dream. The game is a bit simpler than DM but great fun to play. Unfortunately it's not party based, just one character but it has a lot of puzzles and challenges just like Dungeon Master. The game consists of 11 levels with approximately 6-7 hours of playtime. Thanx again!

I'm gonna come out and say it: I think we are in the midst of an AI hype-wave that will probably implode in 1990s tech-bubble fashion, albeit likely at a smaller, less horrible scale. I'm seeing tons of companies popping up that are offering nothing more than thin wrappers written around Chat GPT, and billing them as game-changing innovations; and I'm seeing investors tossing money their way with reckless abandon. Not sustainable IMO. Fortunately, I think once the hype wave implodes, what survives it will be the truly innovative, game-changing stuff. [*clears throat and prepares to shout into the wilderness*] Either way, we need to start revising IP law like yesterday to make the coming AI-driven economy sustainable!

This thread is actually a good place for me to post why I’ve come back (briefly). I wanted to tell you all I’m really sorry for how awful I’ve been to so many of you over the years. I was a depressed toxic traumatized drunk who liked to be a psycho asshole on the internet for attention because I was broken inside. I’ve done a lot of healing and therapy over the years now that I’m sober and I’m learning how to just be a healthier person overall and I have a lot of remorse for my behavior. There’s no excuse for how I treated some of you and how I acted. It will never happen again. I think it’s still best that I stay away but I wanted to apologize to anyone I ever antagonized or made uncomfortable, angry, or upset. To everyone whose boundaries I just steamrolled right over. And especially to anyone I kicked while they were already down. It wasn’t you, it was me. Okay love you bye. -kk

Can't wait to read about best going from loving it to wondering why he "ever put time into this piece of shit."

Let Trump talk enough and he’ll confess to everything.

Amazing. Simply amazing. Donald 'Von ShitzInPantz' has now formally been entered into the public record at Trump's hush money trial WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COM At his hush money trial on Thursday, Trump had to sit silent at the defense table as his lawyer read aloud from Michael Cohen's greatest Twitter hits.

The single largest demographic seeking help for compulsive gambling, by a HUGE margin, over the past 18 months, has been young men between the ages of 21 and 30. And while the stats are somewhat questionable, our best current estimates are that 1 in 900 compulsive gamblers seeks help from GA, and while there are certainly other programs available for treatment, few have the (admittedly limited) success rate of a 12-step program. One of, if not the greatest dangers, of the mass proliferation of legalized gambling, is the lingering perception that problem gambling is limited to 50+ year old guys at the track or OTB. It's hard to forecast how devastating this growth and expansion of gambling will ultimately prove to be, but I'm pretty confident that the answer is that it will be far, far worse than we are imagining now. I'm on the board of trustees for NYIG (basically the governing body for Gamblers Anonymous in NY), and we're now dealing with questions like - if a 16 year old calls the GA hotline or shows up at a meeting alone after getting information from the website, do we have an ethical obligation to disclose this to their family? There isn't any legal obligation, but ethically - it's a challenging question, and a terrible one to have to deliberate on. And it's a question that is coming up with increased frequency, because it's started happening.

I don’t usually respond that much to blatant fan service, but the hacking mini game making an appearance had me like

Just wanna make it clear I’m not defending this psychopath at all

This combined with efforts like project 2025 (brought to you by the heritage foundation—the group who Trump picked his scotus/judicial nominees) would allow him to act fast with very little in the way of resistance effectively not giving any functional check on his authority. doesnt matter what Trump will actually do, no one including him knows what he actually wants to do, but it is part of an enabling process that will grant him more power than any president outside of actual wartime

How about one of the worst quarters since the great recession, 4th 2018, you can not divorce his shit record on the economy by claiming not real economy and then at the same time say the Pandemic is unique but the Pandemic recovery isn't. This bullshit mindsight is why America is the shithole it is. Further, if your mortgages have increased sounds like you didn't learn from the great recession. Maybe you shouldn't have agreed to a variable rate mortgage, sounds like a you fucked up thing not the system did. Conservatives are all about personal responsibility until they're forced to confront their own failures then it's someone else's fault. They remain the true snowflake crybaby bitches. Also I bought a house in the bay while Biden was President, thanks Biden. Almost like success and failure is a personal thing, don't tell conservatives though. If eggs costing three dollars more breaks you, you fail as a person. Further, to your other point. Conservatives getting made fun of. Oh the horror. lolol Fucking spare me. My entire life I've moved in conservative circles and as a result I've been insulted for it. I've had terrible things said about me from: mentally deranged, fucked in the head, traitor, unamerican etc all because I am to the left. And guess who was saying it. I was literally in the Marines, wearing boots, and called a traitor by some fat conservatives mouth breather because I said gay people should be allowed to get married. Now they wanna cry like bitches because their shit hole cities in their flyover states get made fun of while insulting me, my cities, my communities my entire life. Crybaby fucks. They can't handle what they dished out for decades and now want to burn the country down over it. Fuck em, your life is still gonna suck even if you make ours harder. No, I don't care your shit towns are dying, I care as much about your kids dying due to Heroin as you did about my family during the crack epidemic, to paraphrase a certain comic, amazing how when your kids started dying it became a public health crisis over a personal failing. I have zero sympathy for your failures especially when my success is owed to traditional liberal values like unions and collective bargaining. But hey, pray to Jesus, maybe he will save your shit life. I'm heading back to Spain next week, My life is great.

meidastouch.com WWW.MEIDASTOUCH.COM Trump attacks RFK Jr for his position on vaccines and said he’d vote for Biden over him if given a chance. This comes after polls show RFK Jr pulling more votes away from Trump than Biden.

Sorry Wade, I usually respect your rules on no Twitter posts but this is too good to pass up:

While I definitely couldn’t kill my own dog, I know plenty of farmers who have. I don’t hold it against them in any way. In all the cases I know of though, these were old farm dogs that were dying, not healthy animals. I have no problem in general with killing animals, I’ve killed many, hunting, farm animals, but pets are different. I did have to kill my own cat, but it had been attacked by a coyote, its back leg was half gone, I'm pretty sure its back was broken, and it was cut and bleeding. I was 15-16. It absolutely sucked and was heart wrenching, but letting him continue suffering was not an option. but killing a healthy pet? Man, thats 9th circle of hell level shit.

Lmao lol lmao i know so many anti union union members and anti union people who benefit from CBAs but don’t want to pony up and actually contribute to the union. “oh yeah the xyz union is bad but mine is good” “I couldn’t get this same wage at a company that doesn’t have a union, but no I’m not in the union” “my parents worked for the big 3, retired at 55 and now I’m getting a hell of a deal on my new F-150 but unions don’t have a place in todays economy” im not convinced you actually know any working class American conservatives, as the above examples are from actual conversations I’ve had with conservatives who clearly see and enjoy the benefits of unions but are anti union themselves

Even if he's talking about network television exclusively (he probably is) it's still a dumb fucking thing to say. All in the Family was initially passed on by ABC because they were wary of Archie Bunker being "a loveable bigot," The Mary Tyler Moore Show went through a bunch of drafts because of thoughts about the premise / material and its adjacency to Moore's turn on The Dick Van Dyke Show, is and was a feminist darling, and I dunno man including MASH on the list of sitcoms that people just kinda came home and watched that wasn't woke or whatever makes me think Seinfeld should be evaluated for a recent stroke. Also buddy, you're fucking Jerry Seinfeld. If this shit is that important to you fucking make a show? What network is going to turn him down? Even if he doesn't wanna do the work, be an EP on something? Seinfeld doesn't know hungry comics who "aren't PC" with a pitch for a sitcom? Eat my ass old man, get in a car with Louis CK and Chappelle then drive into the Hudson.

If it gets burned down, it's not getting rebuilt how you want it - so what's the point of wanting it to burn down? A bunch of defeatists ITT.

10. Garrus Vakarian - Mass Effect Fuckin' Shepard is the best character easily. Not that Garrus isn't good, but Shepard is the best. 9. Ichiban Kasuga - Yakuza Like a Dragon 8. Geralt -The Witcher 7. Kim Kitsuragi -Disco Elysium 6. Morrigan - Dragon Age 5. Cloud - Final Fantasy VII (?!) Ain't no way this emo ass bitch should ever make a top 10 list 4. Kassandra - Assasain's Creed Odyssey Never played it but I have very strong doubts. 3. Astarion - Baldur's Gate 3 Yeah, he's pretty good. 2. Makoto Nijima -Persona 5 No. 1. Johnny Silverhand - Cyberpunk 2077 (?????!!!) Hell fuckin no. I hated him. His existance took me out of the game. That character was called Keanu Reeves and never stopped being Keanu. Johnny Silverhand doesn't even exist.

There is some serious "recency bias" in this list. My personal pick is the protagonist of Planescape: Torment known only as "The Nameless One".

The simple fact he got elected in the first place is a total condemnation of our society. This whole thing needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt.

Hard to beat Bond, James Bond.

The introduction of Indiana Jones in the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark is the perfect introduction that tells you everything you need to know about the character using visual storytelling cues.

You sure about that? I’m fairly confident they just looked out in the alley five minutes before air and found a chick with huge honkers to headline in order to own the libs or something.

If I wanted to control a town of dirty white peasants I'd run for governor in Missouri!

"We get the world (country) we deserve."

I beat the game a day or two ago and I’m back in chapter 13 to do a lot of the higher level side quest and the side quest I never finished. i’m still reading about the ending, but I have to say that emotionally, I thought it was a very strong narrative in that sense. Because of the length of the game, you were doing a lot of things that don’t relate to the main story, but a lot of that other stuff was character stuff, and it made me bond with the characters quite a bit more, and it made me like some of the new characters a lot, like Kyrie. I really love this group of characters, and I look forward to continuing their adventure in a few years. Now, I’m just going to enjoy the gameplay and other quests and the lovely world that the developers gave me. 103 hours or so and I’m still going.

Police use dogs to sniff for drugs because dogs are narcs. Cats are too cool to rat you out.

Can we call in John Wick?

Sounds like this thread is more entertaining than the game itself.

@Biggie Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it. Was planning to get the NSO expansion as long as I could get the controller too. Waiting for payday but I'll hop on this next week. Thanks again!

Just saw a Cyber Truck in real life for the first time in my work's parking lot. Even uglier in person.

I’ve been staying in a hostel in Brooklyn this week, and this has been my view every morning. It’s been comforting, even though I’m alone, it’s like I can feel @Biggie in the room with me, saying “shut the fuck up, nerd”
