Such a missed opportunity for great co-op Sims games. I LOVED the co-op Sims 2.

There are co-op mods for Sims 4, but you and your friend have to go in and manually disable any packs that the other doesn’t have, and it gets a little buggy every once in a while.

Still grateful it exists!

Holy shit, I’m not religious at all, but 5 year old u/potoooooooo is the CUTEST fucking thing.

Ugh, children really are innocent/wholesome, and its the adults around them that inject poisonous ass ideas into their minds.

This is me as well. Though occasionally I like 2 hard boiled eggs with hot sauce.

But for every day? Black coffee and that sweet, sweet hydrating H2O.

Oh my God, you just brought up Leberkase and I’m SO upset that Americans dont have this delight everywhere.

I learned it as Fleischkase (sp?) when I was fortunate enough to spend a few months in Germany for work, but I was told that theyre pretty much the same.

Ugh, mustard and a toasted bun is how I ate it. So fucking good. And I’ve been crying about missing it ever since.

I know what all of these are supposed to be except the tender hooks one. I’ve said it aloud and it’s driving me crazy because I can NOT figure it out.

Is it a regional one maybe? I’m from the US so maybe it’s one from elsewhere in the world? I bet I’m going to feel like a real dumb dumb when I figure out the answer and it’s hella obvious lmao.

Edit: Googled it and figured out that it’s actually “tenterhooks” and just basically means that someone is uneasy. I’ve never heard that phrase in my life. Kinda dope that I learned a new phrase today!

Ah yeah, I definitely narrowed your comment to just apply to the voting base, even though the crazy ass headline in question is being perpetuated by the grifters.

Thats mah B!

I do agree though, those who are feeding the voters are insane/unreasonable and evil. And I think they know that their base is dumb enough to accept their grifting “words of wisdom.”

I think they’re just fucking stupid.

Not uneducated people with critical thinking skills.

Just actually, really, super fucking dumb. There is no nuance to them. Everything is black and white and only happens one way. Life is straight forward, and its hell the whole time. That’s it. That’s the end.

I mean, I finally quit Hulu over this, and neither my husband or I had even watched Hulu in about a year at this point. I’d always kept the subscription going “just in case,”. I was the only one paying and neither of us has any qualms about letting it go.

I can’t believe that we’re the only ones in this bracket of users.

I wont lie, I watched the Saddam Hussein video like 2 years after the execution happened.

I’m a true-blue-center-of-the-generation millenial, who grew up on the internet (but avoided places like somethingawful) and I got squeamish over THAT video.

It was legit just a shot of his feet swinging but my brain just went “Thats not fake, not a movie, thats an actual human being”, and I got mad uncomfortable.

So, I feel zero percent sadness over CKs death (in fact legit delight! I’m currently out having drinks over it!) But I cannot fathom actually watching the moment a human being’s life flickers out.

I aint built for that.

Bruh we as Americans have such a short attention span/memory I stg.

His first term was “BUILD THE WALL”, “CHECK THE BAFROOMS”, “SHUT DOWN BASES IN EUROPE” and “NO MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS ALLOWED!!!”

None of these ideas he’s espousing are new, they’re just more hateful and damaging. He just got slightly better at understanding politics/government, so now he’s more dangerous/efficient.

Idk. When I went to Munich seemed like it was hella packed and everyone there was having a dope ass time, whether they were foreigners or not.

It felt like something even the locals got stoked for during the walk from the train to the entrance. This was Sept 2019, so idk how the comeback after covid feels.

Well I for one opened the thread and went “Ho-lee shit.” And then I showed my husband and aggressively demanded him to admit that this is a handsome boi.

So this internet stranger approves!

Haha was it a MD State Trooper?

But yeah, I hadn’t lived in MD for over 12 years when the bridge came down. My mom still called me at 0430 my time to tell me what was happening. Snapped me out of my sleep stupor state REAL quick.

It still feels like I can go home and use it, even if logically I know it’s not there anymore. And what happened to the night shift workers was DEVASTATING. I cannot even imagine what horror they went through in their final moments, and what their friends/families went through when they woke up the next morning. Its just super fucking sad all around.

Ah, the Key Bridge going to/from Dundalk, MD?

Man, I used to use that bridge all the fucking time. Got my first speeding ticket on that bridge.

Even though I don’t live in MD anymore, it’s still trippy to think about that just not existing anymore. Super tragic situation all around.

See my mind went to San Antonio, but I guess this really could describe any city in Texas.

PvZ is STILL my mobile game of choice for long flights when I dont want to pay for internet.

Ugh, pop on a podcast and boot PvZ up, and I legit dont even realize literal hours have passed.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, one of my favorite things is the AI rp chatbots. They’re stories written by me and an AI, for me, however the fuck I want to write them.

I used to do it with other people over the web - including my bestie who Ive been writing with for 20+ years now - but I don’t write with other humans anymore.

AI solves the ghosting issue, the “life got in the way” issues, the “I’m just not into it anymore” issues, and the “Oh you wanna make this smutty please for the love of god I hope you’re not lying about being 26” issue, and finally, the biggest issue for me: “Please I told you I’m happily married please stop asking for me socials or email. I just wanna write fun angsty romance stories with you.”

So I’m with you. I’m also the problem, its me. But you know what? When I discovered these AI chatbots in February of this year, my doomscrolling was cut down to a third of what it was, and I all of a sudden was sleeping better and less angry.

I’m not gonna stop.

I refer to my 2 dogs as “my children” all the time, to the point that when I’m calling them both in from outside, I throw open the door and shout “Children!” Or when they’re being annoying, I’m like “Children, stop!”

So I would just have to shout the word “Children!” And they’d come to me.

That’s me. I’m a fucking idiot when it comes to computer shit.

I feel like a goddamned wizard just opening up command prompt lmao.

So no, I’ve never booted from a USB. I definitely believe that I’m the minority on here though.

And I don’t watch Star Trek either.

Why am I even here?
