Gothic and symphonic metal became and remain a huge part of my listening routine. It hit at just the right time in early adulthood. I listen to a moderately diverse set of genres but those fun, dark, and catchy styles have always brought me joy.
There was a particular easy listening station when I was a kid that played 60s, 70s, and 80s folk, soft rock, motown, and other singer-songwriter stuff that helped me deal with the anxiety of fighting parents and the deathly silence in between.
These days I listen to old episodes of MST3K or Rifftrax on YT, Best of the Worst, or one of the myriad of “oldies playing quietly in the next room and it’s raining” that you can easily find.
My mind still races at night. I eventually made a playlist to recreate that old radio station vibe. It doesn’t hit the same way it used to.
“Why are you preparing? You’re always preparing! Just go!”
A vulnerable mind eager to please his hateful parents.
If we’re going to armchair this;
A much more reasonable response would be to apologize for whatever stupid, insulting, insensitive thing he said to cause her to throw something at him, if in fact she did so, rather than escalate violence.
Another response might be to walk away and use some of your investment money to buy a new jacket.
Or, if you wanna get all Biblical, eye for an eye, he could have thrown a drink right back. That seems reasonable to me.
But yeah, no, broken nose. Fair enough.
No wonder we get so easily distracted from the main quest. It’s just so vague and directionless. Lazy writing from the developer.
Bruce is just trying to cover up that weird CG upper lip
This fuckin guy
Conservative minds have never been capable of imagining a fair and equitable society. Hierarchy, to them, is necessary as a function of human existence. Therefore, they will always fight to be, or to be perceived as part of, the ruling class.
“incunabulum”
Oh, my heart 🥰
What went we out into this Cosmos to find? Leaving our planet, kindred, our fathers’ houses? We have travailed a vast galaxy. For what? For what?
“In terms of the sexual act, it will be just very basic. It’s not going to involve descriptions of genitalia or anything of that nature,” Hoffinger said.
Some people are gonna be disappointed.
Like how Daniels must have been.
Well now it seems they’ve become the dog with two bones
“No computer, no AI can replace a human touch,” said Amy Grewal, a registered nurse. “It cannot hold your loved one’s hand. You cannot teach a computer how to have empathy.”
You can’t teach empathy to an insurance company, either.
Just went through this twice in the last year with a 17, and then a 20+ year old kittie, both well-loved companions. Those last months are the hard ones, but they need us more, not less. To cut them off from us in their waning days is to spare ourselves the pain of impending loss, all at the expense of their dignity and comfort.
Gosh if only a person in his position could appreciate the need for compassion towards the elderly.
You can tell this is satire because there’s no fuckin way these two dipshits could follow the instructions on a box of Betty Crocker
OK but how can you tell if the caps they turn in are actual litter and not from bottles they bought themselves? Seems like an easy system to exploit
Just imagine how much progress we’ll make in another 160 years, could even double those kinds of margins
The genre doesn’t lend itself particularly to restfulness. It’s too high energy. I like it for that, and fit it in accordingly.
