I think celebrity news made as much sense to me when I was in my teens as they do to me now. That is no sense.

What about the last dentist?

Space Station 14 for me.

Am I living in a bubble? I have never met an annoying satanist. But I also don't think I have ever met a Swiftie (are the fans called Swifties?) either.

If that is the case. I have met many annoying ones. The ones who stand out the most are the mormon missionaries who stalked me one summer, that had me so on edge and staring over my shoulder.

12 years is hardly past the lifespan of a computer. That is only past the lifespan of the computer if you want to run the latest stuff, particularly games. I even have spinning disk drives from a brand that hasn't existed since 2006 that work without errors. I just keep coming up with ideas to use my old 'ewaste' on for the fun of it, because that old hardware still works great even if slow by modern standards.

When I am running a game, I like to handout notes when people utilize any ability like that even if the note just says "You see nothing out of the ordinary."

I do all of these except for the last two and I have been genuinely unrecognizable by people I once knew. Though I don't really check the pH of the water I drink, I just make sure it is water that is safe to drink. The funniest encounter I've had though was my sister, who I don't have much contact with, who seemed unsure if it was even me at first.

I can't stand it myself. They were so overplayed and overhyped when I was a kid and I've more or less just come to loathe their songs as a result. Both the band and the album.

I thought UE4 was bad... But then UE5 came along.

It kinda works though!

I wouldn't even consider graduating in school as a sign of intelligence. It sure helps to be intelligent, but it's not necessary.

Breaking Bad for me. I just can't stand it and find the characters and the situations just unpleasant and undesireable to watch.

It really was something else. I never quite got into the crafting, but going to the cities to strike up conversation with the smiths to get my gear repaired or other services I needed from the people playing crafters was an experience I've never really seen anywhere else. Everything and everyone had their place in that game world.

He clearly didn't get the guidance he needed when he was younger, but he is trying and asking questions. He is on the right path.

I have family members who have not been able to ignore a single ad. Ads are by definition predatory. Some of us being able to tune them out to a large degree just means we're not the prey they're looking for.

I forget the name of the movie, but I do recall a swedish movie that was little more than a horror movie about a kid at a boarding school. I wish I remembered which one it was.

Edit: Found it. More focused on the bully culture issues with such schools. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338309

I loved UO when I was a kid, but I am not sure I could ever have the patience and dedication needed for such a game these days. Still though, so many fond memories from the Europa and Drachenfels servers. Would be amazing to relive, but can by brain handle it these days?

The line through the middle of Sweden and Norway is not far off from separating the southern swedes and norweigns from the samí.

I hate buying anything for this reason. Always end up down some rabbit hole researching the product I am looking at, comparing it to other similar things, looking up peoples experiences with each one. Searching for information on it is always such a pain, the results on search engines are just places that have a financial interest in selling it to you.

For some reason my original comment showed up 3 times for me, so deleted it and then it showed just 1 deleted post... So here I am reposting as a reply to my originally deleted post.
