I love Electric Six! My favorite musical fun fact of all time is that Jack White did back up vocals for their song Danger! High Voltage

I learned recently that there’s a word for this, which is “thought-terminating cliche”

Never heard of that! Thanks for the tip. Gonna try it

Morrowind is one of my favorites of all time. I was into nag champa incense at the time, and so that smell will always remind me of Morrowind. Singing about the ambiance of Morrowind was kinda incense-y anyway, so it was the perfect combo

Thank you! I was always morally opposed to ads. Glad to have another great reason to shun them

I feel like the old guys in my area just talk about their health problems 😂

Something to look forward to, I suppose

Some are only 30 cents! At least they were…

I agree, cash is fun in Germany. I think it really helps that the 1 and 2 euro coins are available and used in circulation. It was so nice going into the Späti and buying a beer with a single coin.

Change feels unnecessary in the States since the highest denomination that’s widely circulated is the quarter dollar. There are dollar coins, but they are hardly ever used.

Swing states are often referred to as “purple” because they don’t consistently vote for just “red” or “blue”

He’s following you, about 30 feet back…

If the rubric is that I would not call them, then they are both definitely police

Also

Right, the ones at campus protests were definitely police, so at least that part makes sense

Weird that they would go to campus protests

I know. I was just making a joke about how he pulled a “bean soup”

On the steam deck? =P

The snipers probably are, though
