Got the second blu ray for Space Battleship Yamato 2199 yesterday. Will eventually get 2202 as well.

Pants too. But anime is more important.


It's summer, pants are probably the least important thing you can get.


I started a franchise on NBA 2K20, I chose the Knicks as the team to rebuild.

My first game, against the Spurs, I lost 53-82.

"It's going to be a long season!" - Every New Yorker after the Knicks' first game of the season since Ewing retired.

Yup, that's the Knicks all right!

Yeah, yeah, totally hypocritical of me to decry all the lying, falsehoods, and gullibility of humanity in general, then admire someone for targeting those who richly deserve to be targeted.

But this little gadget is out-and-out hilarious.

I particularly love, "quantum holographic catalyzer technology for the balance and harmonisation of the harmful effects of imbalanced electric radiation."

If you read that and believe it and shell out $350 for the device, you really *do* deserve to get scammed...

You should have picked the Nets.

Totally, they're a much better team (I lost 129-63) with a nicer arena, but the Nets aren't a train wreck so rebuilding them isn't as much of a momentous occasion.

It's the same reason I used to always rebuild the Browns in Madden.

I should Assassin's Creed Origins so I can gawk at the scenery right before I'm mauled by a crocodile.

Wait, you got 60+ hour off-season weeks?! If I'd gotten anywhere near 20+ hour weeks as a sub, I'd still be working there. (I might not be sane anymore, but I'd still be there.)

Huh. As a substitute rural carrier, the union allowed the post office to train me on a maximum of up to three routes, no more unless I agreed to it. This was to protect my sanity and make sure the PO wasn't abusing subs because they couldn't be arsed to staff up properly. (I had a pretty strong and smart union steward in our office who wasn't afraid to push back against management's creeping demands.) And if they (postmaster or supervisor) knew you couldn't get back in time on the route, it was their responsibility to make sure the newbie carrier got help, even when it meant PM/sup had to take part of the load themselves in an LLV and deliver it.

I dunno, maybe it changed, maybe I just got lucky with a good strong steward and non-!sshole PM/supe.

Hippos are far smarter, stronger, and actively meaner. They just do not like people.

Nah. I regularly saw gators on a couple of the Sanibel mail routes, but I was never worried about them nor the pythons, black bears, gars, giant barbed catfish, and Florida cougars. I am much more likely to be bitten by a (non-native) iguana or raccoon (which despite their cute exterior, are purest evil), or contract encephalitis from a dire stirge FL skeeter. But they're all animals; they (except skeeters) almost always actively avoid people unless they've been fed by people, and they behave in rational instinctual ways.

Far and away the most dangerous predators here in Florida are the damn Floridians. And if one took me down, I wouldn't put it past them to be a cannibal either, especially if it caught on as some performative ultimate "owning the Libs" thing.

"I'd call that Bull Rush, not Death From Above."

Well, if they would advertise it with:

"Use this! Suffer no health issues from 5G!"

It would be a true statement, technically.

He is clearly in the right here.

It should be Dolphin Rush, obviously.

I was working in Atlantic Beach, a suburb of Jacksonville. We were always short staffed, and our leaders changed by the week. Nobody could keep a job there who was in any leadership role.

Officially, it was supposed to be a PT job, but in practice, if I got less than 50 hours was genuinely surprised.

I only WANTED a part time job.

Why is it when I want a PT job, everyone only is hiring full time (though categorized as part time with tons of overtime, or as contracting, or whatever else so cheap m%+!&$&*@##!s that run businesses can get away with not paying for benefits)? Or when I really want a FT job, everyone is only hiring PT? (Well I know that one - because cheap m##+!~~!@!+*s don't want to pay for benefits.)

I'm in a roll20 game from paizocon and one of the players is a russian with quie a heavy accent, and he's playing merisiel.
He's trying to do a dainty female voice.
He sounds more like comrade obozaya.

His name is Vlad.

I try not to laugh.

Oh I don't know, they seem docile enough!

Though, to be honest, I don't remember much after slipping into the hippo enclosure at the zoo..

I would suggest homebrewing a Death from Below feat that grants the bonus against enemies at the surface, on a boat, or on the shore...but I suspect WW would just pout about that too.

I'm pretty sure that's the subplot of at least three seasons of AHS.


I brought home a bunch of dumplings today. How many, you may ask? Wonton.

(The joke really only works if you pronounce it "one ton".)


My friend convinced me to help him make and sell Dracula figurines, but we're under a tight deadline. I have to make every second Count.


it also kind of works if you pronounce Wonton like "907 Kilograms:.

Hell of a damn day today.

Personal Strife:
Our senior cat had incontinence issues this morning, necessitating washing the bedsheets twice. So she was placed in the dog kennel while we straightened up and I got to my last scheduled PaizoCon game.

Maybe half an hour in, she began to meow repeatedly, streched out on her back instead of in her usual loaf position on her stomach. I grabbed Shanna and when she picked her up it was pretty clear Remmy couldn't move her neck. Since her mom was on the phone with her, she volunteered to come over and drive them to the vet.

I could have asked for an emergency replacement and went with her myself. Maybe I should have. I don't know. We've been dealing with poor appetite and potty usage the past few weeks. When they got to the emergency clinic, they tried to run tests and had to hydrate her to draw blood.

The bottom line came that they didn't know if they could even stabilize her, or if that would even help, while if she came through the question about quality of life was a big one. Shanna believed it best to let her go. I agreed. And I could have called for a replacement then, but I didn't want to prolong the suffering any more. And I wasn't sure I could take being there when it happened.

So our little lion is gone, a terrible end to my PaizoCon week. On one hand, it's a relief that she doesn't have to suffer more. On the other, there is guilt in not bringing her to the new house from grandma's sooner. There's heartache at never seeing her again. And it's all so fresh and raw. And there is worry that I made the wrong choice, that when Ozzy comes to the end of his puppy years, I won't HAVE the choice to be there when he goes.

June is going to be a long month. 2020 is going to be even longer. "Quality is better than quantity in years" is a noble sentiment with your pets, but it's damn harder to do than to say.

Silver Crusade

I am sorry, TOZ. That’s heartbreaking.


I hate losing a pet. That is rough.


*hugs*


I am, sorry to hear that, TOZ.
