What I wanna know is who are all these people claiming that Santa Claus is not fucking real!?

Of course he’s real.

I’m an AnCap everyone hates me at least 50% of the time (except on Lemmy where it’s closer to 90/10).

It’s often not worth the grief.

I don’t like abortion, I have grave qualms about it. I’m also vehemently pro-choice.

But it IS how we see prices. If there weren’t science behind it, they wouldn’t be doing it.

We had just moved from Portland to Denver, and were trying new restaurants. One Sunday we ordered delivery from a local Chinese place that had good reviews. Food came, we ate and all was good for a couple of hours.

Then my wife said "I think I’m gonna puke* and dashed for the bathroom. Being the good husband, I followed her to hold her hair while she worshipped the porcelain god.

She had barely got done emptying the content of her stomach, when I literally had to shove her out of the way to emoty mine.

We were both miserable for about 36 hours.

11-22-63 by myself and The Hail Mary Project with my wife.

I just finished listening to all 14 Honor Harrington novels.

I’m just impressed by the logistics of getting this put together so very quickly. No matter what you think of Trump, someone was in the ball.

That’s really a valid point.

Boredom after some period of time, you will have some everything there is to do.

EA used to be amazing. My first two games were Archon and Seven Cities of Gold in the Amiga 1000.

They were great games. EA didn’t start to really suck until the era of the Internet.

I think PE teachers often get a bad rap. I’m grateful that you got a good one also.

Two men other than my father had dramatic impact on my life. Both of them were PE teachers, one in elementary school and one in high school.

I was awkward, uncoordinated, and a social outcast. I was always the last picked when teams were picked. My elementary school PE teacher solved this by making me the “captain” and I got to pick the teams.

My high school PE teacher, who won State championships and coached future NBA all-stars still had time to be my doubles partner when we were playing tennis.

Those two men were definitely my champions.

Thank you for that.

Dementia.

My mother has dementia.

Every time I forget something I know I should know it terrifies me.

Fully agreed very heavy.

Love love love these books.

I’m impressed you were able to convert the Oreos! 😉

6’6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5’1" tall.

When I was growing up my mom would always say “the tall girls are going to love you!” Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.

I’m a fan of capitalism, but not the kind of capitalism that decrees something is too big to fail and must be bailed out.
