Might Not Puns

But it took balls of steel to make the first bearings.

I've played many games against them recently, in Jungle or in other lanes, and sometimes they do poorly and sometimes they do well. However, in almost all of these games, they are just unfun to play against. Their passives do things and are useful, using ultimates are just always unfun to play against for me. It feels like the game (or at least the fights) are centered around them, and I don't feel it's particularly good game design from Riot to be adding more champs.

This isn't even mentioning the regular complaints about champs' kits becoming more "overloaded," with them certainly being no exception as they have a lot of tools at their disposal. I don't know, I love playing this game but I just really don't have a fun gameplay experience against other champions whenever they show up. I don't mind the other parts of their kit, it's really just the passive, the Q, the W, the E, and the R that is just straight up unfun to play against. I guess the idea of playing against champions and having their abilities be used on you is cool on paper, but I don't feel that Riot's execution of the idea was great.

He's averaging 16 points on 52% shooting during their 8 game win streak, happy he's on a playoff team and can actually play some meaningful games.

I can't really support this with any data right now,.But there might be a big orchestrated sell off of everything, to crash the entire market. In hopes to make people sell this stock, and not (really) collapse the entire market.Whatever you do hold on to GME. They need it so bad they're willing to do everything, not to take a hit on the chin.

edit: Wise words of u/613Flyer in the comments: "The message needs to be shared and enforced that when the market starts crashing it means that MOASS is starting."

To add to that. I kinda see GME as an all market Hedge!

It's just my retarded unsupported opinion, and not advice. Looking for fellow apes for a crayon fondue.

Hello Again,

I’ve tried reaching you many times now. I’ve given up at times, but for some reason I find threads of motivation to help/annoy every now and then.

🥸 The state of mind we operate in is constantly changing, but there’s usually a thread of consistency in the labeling of experiences.

I’m noticing a ton of “I feel extra bad” posts lately and can’t help but feel sad for folks.

You’re fighting biology, the moon cycles, the archons, the angels, the demons, the conspiracy theories, the cults, the religious, the spiritual, the selfish, the giving... Oh holy shit I could go on for an infinite with these stupid topics.

Does anyone here know how to transcend all of this and arrive at the present moment? Between right and wrong, this and that? A place of less distinctions and more purely experience? How many names are there for this place?

🔱 I need to hear from that person on how they got there and how they abide in that beautiful blissful awareness.

• Do you think you are qualified to speak on this topic? Let’s hear it.

So, important backstory, my SO and I were vague, friend of a friend, acquaintances until she got her bisalp. Her family had a crappy reaction to her deciding to get the procedure and refused to take her to or pick her up from the hospital. So she asked me to do it because I had had a vasectomy, and was open about it and being CF in our friend group. That was the first time we spent time alone together and we haven't spent much time apart ever since.

It's all lovey dovey and shit, much awwing, etc. The important thing is that her family knows this is how and why we got together.

Cut to this weekend. Her brother and his wife came to stay with us for a couple of nights. (Covid compliant in our area, etc) First night I get up because I can hear someone opening doors and stuff. I find SO's brother looking through all the bathroom cupboards. Ask him what's up and he admits that he's looking for a condom. I tell him "Sorry dude, we don't use them anymore, haven't got any in the house." I think no more about it, go back to bed and try not to think about how my spare room is being defiled. SO was asleep and I didn't mention this to her because I wasn't sure how to. This was Friday night. They went home on Sunday.

Today, my SO gets a long email from her Mom. This is the only form of communication she is not blocked on at the moment. In this missive from crazy town, SO's Mom is trying to set up a week long visit by us to them and she is just so glad that we can put all this unpleasantness behind us because we have "seen the light" and are "trying to seek the Lord's blessing in its purest form, parenthood."

My poor SO is googling how to get a mental wellness check on her Mom at this point and it took me a few minutes of hysterical laughter to explain. It's been 2 years since SO's bisalp, 8 since my vasectomy, multiple tests to confirm, but all of that's immaterial because we don't use condoms anymore, so we must be trying to conceive!

For the first time my atheist ass is moved to prayer. Lord, give me patience, because if you give me strength then I'm scared some of these dumbasses are gonna get hurt. (J/K)

ETA Thank you so much for the awards and such and the fun chats below. One thing I should possibly make clear, my SO and I are not technically married but I have no issue using terms like BIL and MIL for brevity's sake on here. Frankly, at this point marriage would make no difference to our level of commitment and we'll probably get round to it sooner or la

I know everyone’s looking forward to Woolie getting BTFO’d by Pat. I am, too. Trust me. Here’s the thing, though; Woolie’s getting his first COVID shot today.

Depending on how it goes, Woolie might be a) totally fine on Monday, b) pretty under the weather and talking about it, or c) literally bedridden, or anything in between. The COVID vax affects everyone differently, and there are very few ways to predict how people will react.

[skip this part and go to “All this to say” if you don’t wanna hear my personal anecdote]

Now, I got my first shot on Thursday. I will preface this by saying that I did get COVID, like, two days before Christmas, and that the vaccine I got (Moderna) is generally known to have more severe effects on people who have already gotten the virus than those who haven’t.

Anyway, my Friday started with me shivering and chattering so hard that my teeth and muscles ached, literally freezing underneath five layers of comforters and pajamas. Then, an hour later, I was sweating bullets and couldn’t cool down no matter how hard I tried. My brain felt about five sizes too large for my head, my organs felt like they were pushing my bones out of my skin, and it hurt almost as much to breathe as it did to ingest water. I did not eat for 36 hours. It was worse than when I actually got COVID. Guess I’m lucky in that respect. I can’t imagine dealing with that for two weeks straight.

Saturday was a little better; the bone-aching thing was the biggest problem now. It felt like my entire torso was a giant gas bubble, but at least I could walk around without much difficulty. The day ended with my neck so cramped that I could hardly move it around, but it was... manageable. Now it’s Sunday, and all that remains is a lingering soreness at the base of my neck.

ALL THIS TO SAY: if Woolie feels tomorrow like I did on Friday, he will almost certainly delay the podcast, or even cancel it depending on what everyone’s schedule looks like. And he should. I don’t want him to have to listen to Pat and the twitch chat roast him for three hours while he goes through that kind of pain, and neither should you. If he does delay the podcast, or even cancel it, please be understanding and supportive. Give him your best wishes. He would ABSOLUTELY NOT be using it as an excuse to get out of the roast he knows is coming. He would only do it if he was really in genuine, serious pain.

And hey, if he does do it, guess what? That’s another story for the podcast! Cont

"In other news, I still have yet to hear anything concrete that #BATTLEFIELD will come to past gen consoles. Theory - It indicates to me that it probably won't and the biggest reason #BATTLEFIELD will come to the Xbox Game Pass on day 1 is to boost up player numbers."

Doesn't seem Battlefield 2021 is coming to last-gen consoles. Personally I think early attempts to do so probably failed. I suspect 10+ million PC w/ Current-Gen console sales + MTX + 100 (if not more) million USD Xbox Gamepass deal makes enough money.

There are some seriously weird stuff going on in the game and it might be broken in a very fundamental level. Keep in mind these are all done in the same map and same gear.

Had a trickster, kept dying almost instantly when I go on expeditions. Made a new trickster, power-leveled it, and got it to the same CT as the original, it can take hits better even though it was using the hand-me-downs of my other trickster, hell, it's on CT 15 now.

Switched back to the old trickster, still dying almost instantly. Either the characters imported from the demo are bugged or there is something broken in the game.

And apparently it seems like a thing, decided to make this post to raise some awareness after I saw this: https://www.reddit.com/r/outriders/comments/mrw08l/update_made_me_wet_paper/

Honestly think that something might be broken and the people that were complaining about how hard the game is might have been victim to this (well, at least a portion of them).

Not bashing on PCF, just thought it might be something they might want to take a look at.

Pretty much the title.

This happened to me a couple of times with shoes and handbags. Last night I bought this https://imgur.com/a/IZ4MTCy bag from Anya Hindmarch. When it came out I loved it, but it was about 1500€ which was waaaay too much for me as a student. Yesterday I bought it new/unused for 135€.

Sometimes it is finding items for a bargain years after they were trendy, sometimes it is just finding the item I now am able to afford (e.g. Chloé Lauren Flats). Of course these can be timeless classics, which are still sold. In the case of the bag I bought it as some quirky thing I adore and it fits my personal style. It isn't sold anymore, therefore it is not easy finding it in a good condition.

Would you always go with your personal style or can it be too old-fashioned especially if it was a huge trend?

Did this ever happen to you too and if so, please share your finds. I was soooo happy last night (argh, shopping still makes me happy even if I don't want to be so materialistic). Probably I'm not the only one finding gems.

Edit: Grammar

Edit II: It honestly makes me so, so happy to read about all your finds and mostly about the happiness it brings us all after this time to still love and care for these products!
