I'm an a%#!#@!, too. I freely admit it.
But I direct my assholia at other humans, demihumans and humanoids, not at four-legged critters.

~laughter~ Somebody near where I work is a Fallout fan. They named their network "Vault 101".
Once upon a time, I was out and about and looking for an unsecured network I could hop on for a few minutes. I was near a little sub-division, and three of the networks were called "Stacey is a b&@%$", "No Im Not", and "Shut up both of you".

I have a question for those with your own threads.
How time consuming is it?
Would having a Baron Arem Heshvaun's Star Wars thread prove to be a time black hole ?
I can barley read all of Tacticslion's posts on this thread alone, having a stand alone thread seems like a time consuming wasteland.
Well, for my AMV thread, I post, now and then, whenever I find an interesting AMV. If the Star Wars thread is simply discussion, reply whenever someone makes a post. If it's gameplay, or gameplay commentary, just post whatever, whenever it's ready. Others might tell you the same, but YMMV. :)

Hmm, Conan Exiles has an endowment slider and genital physics for the men.
Interesting...
A new Conan game - whoopee!
You might wonder why a brutal survival game needs an endowment slider... or maybe you wouldn't.
Perhaps a length over 7" gives you a bonus to catching fish, or gives you a third tallywhack attack, or allows you to impersonate an eel or cave moray in certain situations.

You know how you have that one friend who, every time they tell you that they've fallen in love/gotten engaged you get a sinking hollow ache in your midsection because it just never ends well for them?
Which is a big part of the reason they have substance abuse and depression, and health issues, which is a big part of the reason it just never ends well for them? Okay, that wasn't even vaguely grammatical.
The friend in question is my kid sister, who is going to be forty this year, and who just told me yesterday that she is engaged. For the third time. To someone she's been friends with since she was fifteen, who has two little girls who are my own children's ages (she can't have children of her own), who are already calling my mom "Grandma".
Yeah, I feel like I'm watching a bad horror movie. If this one goes south, it's gonna kill her.

My advice from personal experience. Embrace it (unless he has a history of abuse disorderly conduct).

Petulant whinge du jour:
I want some of the Cap'n's snow.
It's supposed to be 68 and sunny here today.
What the s~@! is up with that? It's still winter. I want winter.
It was so warm the other day that I actually went to McDonald's and got a shamrock shake for the first time in thirty years. And it actually made sense to get a cool minty milkshake.
You're not supposed to drink shamrock shakes when it's warm and sunny out; you're supposed to drink them when it's 38 and pissing down rain and you're too damned cold to enjoy it because it's Lent and suffering is good for you.
F+$#.
Oh, and now I want sliders.
Thanks, Freehold, you rat bastard.

"Didn't I tell ya, I kinda hit a deer" - Peggy Blumquist, Fargo (it wasn't a deer).
A friend of my folks hit a deer once with his truck. Didn't kill it. He had been an army medic and for some reason kept a med bag in his truck.
(Disclaimer: this is one of my dad's stories, and he was repeating one of Louie's stories, so "truth" is uncertain at best and no longer verifiable. They're both long gone.)
Louie decided he was going to go try to stitch up the gash in the deer's side as it was lying there in the snowy county road. He gets out his bag, crouches in front of the deer, tries to start to stitch, and the deer kicks him in the soft bits, wobbles up onto his legs, and runs off.

Once, taking my brother to Marshfield Clinic for his epilepsy, my dad hit a deer, borrowed his brother's car because it was close by, hit another deer, my brother then started to have seizures so they called an ambulance. Which of course, hit a deer, ater which another ambulance was called, which thankfully, did not hit a deer.

It depends on the subject. If it's something fun then have at it.
I personally have a lot of fun with my various watch me suck at this video game threads. But my adventure path threads lay covered in dust and feral smurf droppings. Mostly because we just haven't had the time or feeling well enough to play pathfinder (Halloween weekend, last time).
Also, I don't really think many people read those (not to mention the adventure path crowd are notoriously frugal with the favorite button, myself, NobodysHome, and Tacticslion the exceptions) so it's hard getting a read on if anything works).
Also, since I'm b~++$ing about the new AP crowd, they're all way too serious and too focused on changing everything just because, or to be purposely obstinate.

I had to go to the Marshfield for blood transfusions when I was born. The "hospital" in Tomahawk wasn't able to do them. No deer were harmed, though.

Started watching Steven Universe.
Few remarks on first episode:
Seems a bit silly, but in a feel-good, above average way.
The way Pearl, Garnet, and Amethyst explained how they summoned their weapons pretty much perfectly maps onto Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma based casting.
Hints of a bigger plot?

Geez, sometimes I just both admire and am frustrated by millenials at the same time.
Impus Major is about to turn 16, meaning Impus Major could, in theory, get himself some kind of provisional driver's license.
Unfortunately, there are significant hurdles to this:
So I'm in a situation today where I dropped off the Prius for major service this morning, biked home, and really don't want to have to bike back uphill the 3-4 miles to the shop, since I haven't been on my bike all winter. If Impus Major could drive, it would be easy: I'd drive us to the shop in the Celica, he'd pick up the Prius, and Bam! We'd be done.
Instead, they've made getting a driver's permit/license so hard, and millenials so blasé, that his feeling is, "Meh. I don't need to drive. I can walk everywhere I care about."
I don't know whether to be ecstatic that we're finally weaning Americans from their dependency on cars, or exasperated that they make getting a license so difficult that Impus Major isn't even going to bother...

Knew a guy in the Army that walked everywhere, didn't have a car, and saved the money he would have spent on it his whole enlistment. Damn smart dude, kind of miss that work ethic.
Yeah, I know. Either I walk or take a bus. For 25, I get a weekly transit pass that will take me anywhere in Allegheny county where the buses go. :)

When do you need to go? If they're open late, I can give you a lift. Or you could call Whingey Wizzard.

LOL. I get off work at 4, the car should be ready at 5, and they have a shuttle service. So I told the service manager that I was going to force her to pick me up. Trouble is, on my bike it's 25-30 minutes uphill (or 15 down), while the shuttle takes a good hour because of all the stops on the way. So if I'm on the way home for you, and you wanted to drop the kids with the Impii for a little while while you took me to Berkeley, I would not complain.
It's a BIG service -- replacing the rear latch, inspecting/repairing the entire electrical system, plus full inspection, oil change, and tire rotation, so I'll be surprised if the car is ready before 5.
Thanks, though!

I won't believe in a sad X-Men movie until I see it.

I swear it must be hotter now than it ever is in Summer. I took a shower about 5 hours ago, and I'll I've done is walk slowly and sit in a classroom, and I'm exhausted and smell like straight sweat right now. Absolutely covered in it.
Thing is, San Francisco didn't get above 76 anywhere today, and I'm from San Jose, where 80s and 90s are normal Summer ranges and 100+ is reasonably common. Why the blazes do I feel so hot?
