Have you had covid? I have had a similar experience, and I suspect it’s a form of long covid affecting cognitive abilities and memory. You may want to look into it, as this is currently being studied.

That actually literally happened to my mom. Went months with a front door that wouldn’t latch because they refused to repair it after the fact.

Long story short, building got struck by lightning and one of the units caught fire. Everyone evacuated. Billy Badass firefighter than proceeds to kick down my mom’s door after she’s already evacuated to make sure that the unit was unoccupied and that the fire hadn’t spread. Her unit was on the for end of the building from the lightning strike and fire.

I know lots of firefighters, and most of them are authoritarian adrenaline junkies.

And I only learned about him in the first place because of Watchmen.

By all means. Full us in!

As an autist, I find this assertion nonsensical and offensively reductive.

Sometimes, it’s because they’ve lost the source code. Perfect example is Panzer Dragoon Saga. SEGA would love to remaster it, but the original source is gone, and it’s apparently too financially risky to invest in rewriting from scratch.

Stephen King’s Bill Hodges trilogy: Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, & End of Watch.

Love this!

Popcorn, specifically. I used to go to our local theater for the popcorn. They have a ticket plus large popcorn and drink for $9, it’s a great deal. Then I figured out how to make my own popcorn that tastes just like the theater stuff with ghee and fine salt, so now I’m more inclined to just stay home and make my own.

Still gotta do the drive-in at least once a year, though.

If you like Privateer, check out Double Damage Games “Rebel Galaxy: Outlaw”. Excellent game with a lot of sadly lost potential due to the dev being run out of game development by hostile and entitled “gamers”.

Darkstar One. And it is just now getting rereleased, so it doesn’t count.

So instead, I’ll pick The Legend of Dragoon on PSX. Such a fun RPG that really needs revisited.

It’s just a smaller, folding form factor. It’s better at protecting your screen and buttons, but if it’s anything like the GBA SP it’s based on, that hinge is a potential breakage point. Your trading off one kind of durability for a whole new vulnerability. Having said that, I loved my GBA SP and in only got broken because it got misplaced and sat on while it was folded open.

Yeah, the Anbernic RG35XX is under $70 and the RG35XX+ is about $80. Those are super solid choices!

RG353V has served me incredibly well. Works great for systems up to Dreamcast. Plays most PSP games well. Plays DS and earlier Nintendo handhelds perfectly, though I strongly recommend using Arkos if you touch support in the Linux frontend.

My bad. I misread your statement entirely as applying to conservatives and missed the whole “coalition of progressives and” part. I guess my own reactive bullshit was engaged ahead of my critical thinking there. Your points are valid and I was apparently just looking for an argument there.

And by “keep the rights that they have” they mean virtually unrestricted access to firearms and the right to discriminate against anyone they want protected by a thing guise of “religious freedom” that also magically protects them from discrimination of any kind.

Gladys was apparently 30 when she died, having been born in 1896. Such a fascinating person for having lived such a short life.

Now the GOP is really hating Mexico.

I did exactly that.

The traumatic brain injury may have had something to do with that, though.
