Yes and maybe not then. Look at Newton’s law, even it deals with psychology if not physical action and realize that we (under some theories) have free will to make the actions that will cause those. So something will happen to make you (or someone else) do an action and even if you (or they) don’t like it it happened. You can look at it from 1000 angles but either way someone with that personality would make it happen that way.

So gotta just accept, it is what it is, try and make it better and I hope it works out. Mean unless you can see the future and change things, we all are who we are, may. It be worth knowing or hanging out with but somebody probably made something you don’t want to happen, happen. C’est la vie.

There’s a penny arcade comic that makes a good argument. About printing out your character as a figure or something they have/had. Heck I wonder if it that was part of the reason, unsure if it’s still offered.

I always enjoyed the bit of making my character looked like how I preferred though it wouldn’t detract me overly if I wanted to play. I play sometimes but not often.

Heh at my age (and growing up with computers since the 90s well earlier but I didn’t know cables well) I assume there’s a new one next time I blink. Also at my age I don’t realize I blink as often as I do. So just shrug buy the cables your devices need and not worry too much. Mean it sucks yeah, I got tons of USB cables I never use anymore, but it’s how it goes. Much slower than it used to at least so less issue to complain. If they ever settled on some port that’d work for over 10 years I’d prefer that of course.

It worked in the movie Young Einstein and I trust movies, not really I just wanted to make an amusing but related comment about a lesser well than known movie of my youth. Of course since it’s a comic seems semi relevant, it was a part of the movie trailer heh unless my memory is worse than I hope but I don’t want to delve there.

I lived in the ass end of Alberta people are fucking idiots in AB. So glad I moved out of there. Seriously think of the worst place in AB if it wasn’t where I was then it wasn’t that bad of a spot spare a handful of names. If anyone knows Alberta well they can probably guess where that is cause it isn’t south and only so many roads north.

Edit thought I’d mention there are exceptions, did have a few good employers and all but the random opinion wasn’t in acceptance of helping people it seemed and to me we should life all people up to do better as a society. But not every person was a jerk with asshole opinions even in the remote places. To be fair never asked my employers they were just nice to me … Huh.

I’m shy, my brother who is many years older than me would tell his friends how I’d yap his head off. They couldn’t believe it cause I’d say almost nothing around them.

I see many homeless people in my area, I am more withdrawn but I always think of grabbing a case of water for our hot times to hand out, even if it may not be cool. Sort of too shy to follow through previously but it gets like 30-40C this part of Canada in the summer and we sort of need water to live.

Also why? (You probably said this but wanted to add my words) Unless you want your country to be batted around you need to stand strong. Is it for the best? Maybe not. Can we win? Probably not. But fighting authoritarian despots is needed to be a proper democracy. We can’t bow down to fascism.

I’d rather pay more (or way more) and give the middle finger to the US government, fucking despot ruler. We need strong allies now and not our neighbors.

I do understand how some could not afford this luxury and I hope our government would help them through these times, because I think that’s part of why I pay taxes to help the people who have less. I only wish it was more inclusive to help us grow as a country and tell others we helps others.

Read the title, Spaceballs! But you were quicker, may the Schwartz be with you.

I always liked the line in Dogma about them, don’t turn ideas into beliefs, you can change ideas easier than beliefs. Paraphrased and I understand how much it waters down the whole problem but I still thought the idea of it was nice. Listen and be open, you shouldn’t always need to be rigid. Though mean there are still ideals I’m rigid about, respect, compassion and such. Though I always thought the idea was you thought about what worked best for everyone not just what people said you should do cause tradition.

Well I was more just meaning when I was growing up and this is going back to the late 80s - 90s. I saw a lot more British television than other European TV (in fact none of other) so didn’t exactly have much else to compare it to in the EU that was. From that and knowing they offered some good services such as post secondary education, healthcare etc it felt like a nicer fit for my ideas. Plus the amount of British words we tended to use.

Okay not a direct comparison but if I was playing a Paradox grand strategy game and the neighbor country started getting all fascist / authoritarian, I would want to group with like minded nations for protection. Hey we’re already in a defense treaty with them why not make it a more inclusive type agreement? Personally I always felt culturally closer to the UK (yes I know not there anymore) than the US and thought many of our policies mirrored the US due to location and held us back.

I looked it up after and yes it was I’m not sure I actually watched that episode though had watched many classic ones.

One day I’ll actually watch them all, classic and ones I mean. The older ones are a bit ummm more difficult to enjoy the same way. Always thought Capaldi was short changed in that his two parters, were less interesting than many single episodes of new who but they did try. And mostly I thought it was writing not acting that held them back,Capaldi rocked. But I did like they tried, cause so many old whos were least 4 parters if not more and people were asking but I don’t think they had the proper mindset to stretch it out even half as well.

Edit also don’t mind me, I just think the Doctor is one of the best characters/heroes of all fiction…he always does the best he can to save all he can. Mean it’s cheesy but gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when the story only gives so many options.

if only we could all push for what that character said was good. It’d make a better world.

There’s a Big Finish Dr Who audio story, well two I think, where the bad guy is named Nimrod. A scientist in their stories. So not everyone thought the name was an insult…or maybe they did, huh, but figure if the name gets to be known as a main guy the Doctor clashes with they can’t really think he’s a complete fool.

Though I always remember the cartoons first.

Must be great to have your feelings acknowledged by acting like a dick rather than understanding anything remotely in an empathetic way. Not a believer but thought Jesus preached helping not acting like an asshole. Oddly went to a few religious schools but probably ones they didnt consider correct. Jesus had good ideas, but maybe you needed some leeway is all (okay that’s sort of my Dogma movie take but I don’t think it works). For the record not directed at who I’m replying to just adding to commentary.

Like whenever did Jesus say act like a complete asshole to someone? I’d like one of those types to answer that once and say how their beliefs aren’t acting like a complete asshole to. It’s infuriating. Have some freaking compassion.

Sorry this whole religious bit makes me rant because it’s awful. Love thy neighbor is not hard to understand.

I’m an adult, always enjoyed milk but not much beyond a bowl of cereal or a glass (possibly chocolate) in a day. Don’t have it overly often most of the time but even if I do it’s not a lot. Still feels satisfying to have in my 40s. Of course I may be considered weird for other reasons by many but didn’t think the milk consumption factored in heh.

Edit thought I’d add, has at least protein in it so there are worse things to have with more sugars, though yes know lactase breaks down to carbs (or something similar I may have forgotten the name)

I imagine a warrior doesn’t want to be backed up during battle.

I may not have had a good air cooler but I rarely hear my pump unless I put it up high then it’s only cause I’m listening afterI changed the speed. Usually it works fine on regular or low. I haven’t had an air cooler for about 8ish years now either so good chance they’ve improved.

Haven’t checked out many of their reviews I’ll keep them in mind, at first I had them confused with guru3d who seem to come up often for parts reviews. I always like to find the worst points of a few reviews then if they don’t seem too bad maybe the product is acceptable heh. Though you do need a handful to check for sure.

I like the AIOs cause the fans don’t sound like they’re lifting an aircraft carrier. I’m more conscious of noise cause my gaming PC is near to the main tv so don’t want my gf to be inconvenienced when she is watching TV, I suppose I could get a lower sound fan that’d do it well (haven’t really looked at options for years) but most of them sounded loud when I switched and I like my toys too, though I swear my previous version was making a whining noise for awhile (pump I think) but long since upgraded since I forgot to check radiator size one case upgrade.
