You can restore the social contract by putting your hand under the stall for a firm handshake. If he consents, you get a firm handshake and relief that the social contract is restored. If he refuses, then you have to deal with the shame and heartache.

100% agreed. Did you know that in the scene where Stanley directed John to go to Japan, John - great actor by the way - ad libbed his line and instead said the critically acclaimed line that gave us all goosebumps: “It’s Wolvin’ time!” When I saw this in theatres, everyone let out a loud cheer. Such a wonderful moment that I’ll never forget. So glad Stanley Kubrick left that in there.

I paid in courage, and now I have a bit of courage left over to remove the headphone jack from all phones.

Here is what I do: Host your friends at your place for sports, grilling, video games, playing touch football or soccer in your backyard, etc. Much better activities, make memories, and a lot cheaper, more intimate, and better for everyone’s relationship.

I’m a slave to capitalism. I want to eat and not live in a box on a street.

I also like playing video games. Kind of hard to play video games if you live in a box on the street.

Ooh boy, refunds! Yay!

We should make sure to refund all the corporations and businesses - by court order! If we do that, surely it will trickle down this time.

Those European leaders missed a golden opportunity to clap back with “Quiet, Piggy!”

Ever since he recently shit his pants on live TV, he’s noticed he’s been shitting himself more frequently every few hours. Given that his lucky staff had the pleasure of doing multiple diaper changes a day, he hasn’t had time to really focus on Greenland. I think he’s going to try some more ivermectin, or possibly, bringing some bleach into the body (almost like a cleaning?). His doctors are looking into that. But yes, he’ll get the poopy diaper thing under control at some point and then it’s back to Greenland.

Confirmed, my comment above is inaccurate as the Nintendo DS game cartridges do not use NAND; rather, Nintendo DS cartridges use mask ROMs.

Edited my comment above to remove that misinformation. Learned about this stuff years ago and I must have lumped DS into the mix.

Buy your games on GOG and own them forever. You can also buy a cheap, slow as hell external drive and backup your installer files, too. You can still buy games on Steam since most of them don’t have DRM. For now, Steam is also great, but a decade from now they could enshittify.

If you only do console gaming, buy physical cartridges and discs as much as possible. You’ll keep most of the game and can play whenever you want. An example of being able to play “most” of the game applies to games with legacy activation servers, such as Splinter Cell Blacklist and Watch Dogs 1. Most of the game is playable, but anything that requires a connection to that activation servers no longer works.

Finally, scour Craigslist, flea markets, and yard sales to buy old game consoles from before this DRM mess. All those old games still work great. If you buy Wii U, 3DS, and Switch 1, make sure to boot your console and every single game at least once every few years. Yes, every single one of your games. Due to NAND volatility, this will protect your games and console (Wii U) from NAND failure and increase longevity.

Edit: removed Nintendo DS from the list I provided. Nintendo DS does not use NAND; rather, the DS uses mask ROMs which does not have the limitation of NAND volatility.

My god. When I see this majestic cat, I feel compelled to lay offerings at its paws.
