Not fucking one. I’m waaayyyyy too young to be the AVGN’s target audience, but I fell in love with him after I saw his review of this piece of shit that my mom owned.

Genuine worst game I had as a kid, and I had Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Oof, now that you put it like that… I don’t know what a good solution would be. But surely there’s a better option than lifetime chance of deportation.

Fucking wild that we had people in our military that were not given citizenship afterward. How much more do you need to do?

I had never heard of this before! Listened to Cold Heart of the Klondike, and I can see the pages turning in my head.

Fuck, I need to buy a complete collection of the comics.

Based Europeans. I found a stack of Rosa’s and Barks’ various Scrooge McDuck comics in the back of my grandfather’s shed when I was young.

Yeah, holy fuck. Has Disney ever been blessed with writing like that again? The one-off stuff was great. I remember a comic where Gizmo invents a device that can stop time, which the Beagle Boys used to rob Scrooge. That was such an interesting sci-fi concept, explored in a Disney comic! I remember another one where Scrooge found Xanadu! Super memorable.

But man, none of that stacked up to The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck. I mean, I only had one issue of it - the one where he goes to Alaska for gold. Even still, the emotion in that part of the story is seared into my brain. The fact that they could tell stories of that depth with the “he’s greedy, get the joke?” character is fucking amazing.

Mind you, I haven’t reread any of this in years. It’s etched into my memory. Rosa and Barks are some of the best to ever work in the American comics scene. I don’t think I found anything as compelling until I discovered Tintin.

Name a more provocative piece

I second the opinions for therapy.

I’ve struggled with porn addiction in the past, and I would say I still have to police myself to some degree.

However, after getting some therapy, I’m a lot better about not letting it affect my sex life.

I watch porn, but try to prioritize productive activities that build my relationship. If I watch porn instead of doing that some days, I don’t beat myself up over it. I just observe how it makes me feel, how it makes everyone around me feel (if I take too long getting ready in the morning, for instance).

I cannot stress enough how badly beating yourself up for relapsing keeps you in a negative cycle. It’s really awesome that you’ve identified an area of your life that you’d like to improve, but you don’t get there by focusing on what you don’t like.

Also read into urge surfing! It’s pretty simple. You just wait out your urges. It can be hard to do. But pretty much all urges follow the pattern of increasing in intensity until they reach a peak, then decreasing. So if you can wait through the peak of the urge, it will decrease.

My therapist specialized in addiction therapy, and they also gave me the advice to observe my feelings through every part of the day without judgement. So if you do beat up the bishop one day, try to stave off the shame and just observe. It really helps.

Instead of feeling bad for masturbating, I’ve noticed I get lethargic after I masturbate and that it can affect my perceptions of people depending on the content. This makes me want to forgo the activity much more than negative feelings. I’m aware of the actual consequences, I’m just not giving myself anxiety over it. This allows me to understand where I can fit the activity into the day if I choose to, as well as weigh the actual value and consequences of the action. And if the consequences aren’t worth it after you’ve observed them, you’ll have the knowledge and agency to shut down those urges and break free. Best of luck.

Whereas 38-year-olds that date 17-year-olds are fine, morally.

Yo mama so stupid…

She bought tickets to see XBOX LIVE

Free gravel is so busted compared to the rest. Gravel’s one of those things that you don’t need often, but someone in any town on any given day will need some.

You could undercut every single other gravel business. Even if the competition lowers their prices dramatically, they can’t go lower than their costs. Meanwhile, you have absolutely no costs on material. Gravel monopoly.

I dated a cricket once in San Antonio. Man, those crazy legs kept me up all night.

I know that cat let it go to his head, too

No wait time either. I did it while reading the sentence.

Hawking. No chair.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
“Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Assclamation mark

This game singlehandedly destroyed my negative perspective on walking simulators. Legit must-play for everyone. Lewis’ scene still makes me tear up.

The most sensual description of aircraft manufacturing I have ever read

Imagine if someone came into the bar you frequent and said this about you.

The regulars like Spot are what keep them in business.

Good. May they learn to never preorder.
