When I did my first play thru on Xbox 360, and I realized there was no levitation or jumping spells – I can still recall the disappointment. That simple thing was enough for me to not like it as much.

However, going into portals sickened and scared me. I never got over it before I moved on to Skyrim.

Yeah, so Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher were neoliberals. So, yeah, major parts of Western governments have been headed to this since I was a kid.

Since folks like me don’t know what neoliberal is, from the Wikipedia page on this subject:

Neoliberalism is often associated with a set of economic liberalizationpolicies, including privatization, deregulation, depoliticisation, consumer choice, globalization, free trade, monetarism, austerity, and reductions in government spending.

An oldie but a goodie:

It took me until my late thirties but I figured it out. I break my mental freeze from a compliment by just saying out loud what just happened. I say, “That was a compliment.” Then natural empathy and politeness take over and I continue with, “Thank you for the kind words.” This can happen simultaneously with feeling and silently processing the shame and discomfort that being complimented causes.

Good luck everyone.

Yes. Finder is just some app you can move files with on macOS.

Damn. You never sent in the ROFLcopter? Not even once?

Finder is macOS equivalent of Windows Explorer (maybe, it’s been a while). I assume Linux desktop suites have various similar processes. In other words, a second optional layer (with more features) to access runtime libc file manipulation api.

Boy oh boy would you hate AppleScript. This is what I have to type to throw files in the trash instead of deleting them.

tell application ”Finder” to delete POSIX file “/full/fucking/path/to/file”

much less unheard of

Don’t fail to not use double negatives!

No wonder the responder didn’t unsuccessfully misunderstand the sentence.

I know what you meant by “state flag” but I want to be cheeky, so here goes:

We didn’t pledge to a state flag but the federal flag. But the state of Maryland has a fabulous flag, and I’m still devoted to its design all these years later.

For whatever reason, in the 70s, in Maryland, I only recall pledging allegiance in the morning at the start of school during first grade. I don’t think we did it past second grade. In any case, I took the opportunity to insert curse words. I would say it like, “I pledge allegiance to the shit, and to the asshole for which it shits.” I didn’t lower my voice either. I just figured that I would never be noticed. Thinking back, I am surmising that my teacher must have noticed at least once but just ignored it.

Is the character in the right saying the white-lettered words?

Is this some particularly recommended or famous watching order?

For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemmingway is set during this period. Just a side note.

If everyone should learn to read, it would not only ruin writing but thinking as well.

But why did we evolve a hook & loop clasp to hold the top of our skull closed?

I feel you and what everyone is doing annoys me too, but our only recourse is to do something worse.

My proposal: we start calling our cock “corpora cavernosa”.

Examples:

• “Hey, Chumley, don’t just stand there with your corpora cavernosa in your hand.”
• ”He’s being a total corpora cavernosa!”
• ”My corpora cavernosa got pinched by my zipper.”
• ”Hey, bro, does my corpora cavernosa hook off to the right?”

In case non-native English speakers don’t understand.

The word “murder” is an old legal term meaning: unlawful killing of a person. This implies that there are lawful ways to kill a person. Slang usage of the word “murder” is less precise.

A proper translation of the Bible’s 10 Commandments prohibits murder, that is, don’t kill anyone in a way that your tribe forbids. It does not prohibit every kind of killing of people, that would be ludicrous. This is why those Christians who have the viewpoint of 100% no killing of people are misguided.

They are named after the hero who goes back in time to save Sarah Connor from the Terminator.

Also, you are too old to be picking on school children.
