My sister is like this, and she's basically just constantly anxious about what she's supposed to be doing and how people feel about her, so she forces herself to be talkative and energetic even though it exhausts her. It's sad to know that behind her smile she's just always stressed out about every little thing that she construes as someone maybe being mad at her. I'm glad that over the years I've been able to get her to be her real self around me, but I haven't been able to get her to see a therapist yet.

My point is that the time when we might have found the right words to fix things is almost certainly over. It's now time to start fighting against injustice with real action.

They did all this because they know that the vast majority of the playerbase will never hear about this, and many of those that do will either forget, or simply not care enough to boycott the game. We're in an age of apathy across the board, with so much bad press that any given scandal just fades into the background noise.

I mean, I understand that this is a metaphor for some instance of "someone thinks x should have y, and is dumb," but I have no idea what specific instance it's trying to poke fun at.

We can't even agree on what most of these words mean, much less get the majority of people to care about whether we adhere to them. I know multiple people who think the entirety of science is wrong, and that hispanic people don't have the human right of safe housing, even when legal citizens.

I have this on my everyday playlist...

I smuggled a whole pan of brownies once. I barely even tried to hide it, but nobody asked about the weirdly square bulge on my stomach. They don't care.

I saw the new one with my father in law today, after not having seen one since the original trilogy. It was just not good. I'm usually able to turn off my brain and enjoy a movie regardless of the quality, but there were so many things that didn't make sense, or were glossed over without explanation, that I just couldn't suspend my disbelief.

I found it back in the mid-2000's while I was looking for a video game where I could build stuff, similar to legos, so when I played it all I did was make castles and robots and whatever. Maybe you could make minigames for people like they do now, but it didn't seem like it was the main focus, at least from what I had seen back then.

I remember when my nephew first asked if I knew about Roblox. I was so excited to build some stuff with him, until he showed me this crappy superhero fighting simulator. I can't complain too much, since it's basically the new-age version of crappy flash games, but it was still a disappointment.

I learned this by accident while heating up some hot cocoa as a kid, haha!

Not really, no. There's grass around them and among them, so they seem to be fitting in well.
