One of the many reasons why when I play characters in D&D I play characters

“This character? They’re Milton the Barbarian. Him and his brother Bradley are trying to start a toy business but were struggling for funds to start. So while Bradley went with the safer route of getting money by becoming an apprentice toy maker Milton chose adventure for some quick cash.”

And so many others

It’s really fun to make new characters and see how they’d handle things. Putting them in new situations and fleshing them out.

I’d say that consuming content that only confirms your biases is a form of failing media literacy as you’re failing to see the biases inherent to the content you’re consuming. There’s the flaw of “I think it’s this way” seeking out that content and not seeing that it’s poorly sourced (if at all) and eating it up.

Not to mention the role that content suggestion algorithms play in reinforcing that behavior and providing you with even more content along the lines of the biases you’re reinforcing.

It’s a complicated can of worms for sure.

I’m not sure exactly what model but it’s a 4k 75in hisense running Android from like 5 years ago

Personally I just setup a PC as a NAS‡ and installed VLC on my TV so that I can just browse the NAS and play the files directly

Is it efficient? No.

Is it the best way? Also no.

Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well in fact.

‡ The first time was simply a network shared folder, the second time was using TrueNAS.

Recent events with streaming services has really been the best argument for self hosting your own content

I think it means “to request another to assess your appearance”

Straight up if I’m not active for like a week I start getting stiff and sluggish

NGL that actually sounds pretty fire

It’s pretty rare for me, but my activity level is also hella high so I’m no stranger to waking up sore

Way younger than 30

Shit 30 isn’t even old

I don’t feel indestructible like I did at 20 but damn do I feel great

It can be as simple as, “Someone has to feed my cat tomorrow,” which was one I used back in the day

Hell a number if years ago when I was really low it was as simple as, “The poor bastard that finds me will be scared by the sight.”

I was able to find the source image here. The image is partway down the article.

Looks to be from one of the last if not the last season where they got a new little brother.

Likewise

I tried revisiting it recently because my thinking was “Maybe I only thought it was crap when it came out because I was more familiar with Korn at the time”

Nope, still bad

The new Korn albums are pretty great though, so there’s that at least

He is stuck, much like a turd in a pipe, and longs to be free. The plunger exists to dislodge the turd, but what tool does society have to free him from his confined prison or the suburban hell?

That aisle got me through so much hard times

And also solidified my love of beans and rice

Brown rice can fuck off though, I’ve never been able to cook it good

That’s why you go with one of these bad boys

No wood chipper, no problems

You can fit so many people in one of these bad boys slaps lid

They’re also hella easy to seal properly

Just as he imagines himself

So many people seem to think big victories pop up out of nothing
