A while back I tried to create an account with vpn and got notice that said something about how I couldn’t use it to validate other accounts without validating that account because other companies had threatened to label them as untrustworthy or spam.

This just gets me to stop talking. Offline or online. But then I wonder if that’s the goal.

Shadowrun: Anarchy is rules lite. Apparently a new version is coming this year.

Shadowrun: Anarchy was a rules lite version of Shadowrun. I had to search the name to remember it and apparently 2.0 is kickstarting this year.

We already do it for utilities. A financial company should not be deciding what its users are allowed to spend their own money on except within the confines of law.

I hate those days where I keep bumping into things, knocking things over, or hurting myself. It’s like some part of my unconscious brain is somewhere else and even if I don’t have a meltdown I’m better off finding a safe place. Mindfulness or deep breathing can help me with the anger, but the other issues continue until I’ve had a good night’s sleep.

For me, it’s also often a sign that I’m fighting a virus. Usually I’ll get sick within a day or two of experiencing this.

I think US customs said it was because he admitted to using drugs in the past and had photos of a paraphernalia on his phone. He said they ignored that stuff and focused on the photo. So it comes down to whether you think one specific customs employee could potentially see something they don’t like and choose to refuse entry for another reason or that customs is being honest and open about the reason his entry was refused and that the people making the announcement fully understand the situation (including the thoughts of the person that examined the photos).

I feel like the latter is unlikely, but I don’t have enough evidence to say either way. I don’t think drug paraphernalia in a photo or admitting past drug use are good reasons to refuse entry either.

Look up alexithymia.

“Who’s Neilty Son?”

Oh. Oooh, right.

It’s too hot for that and I don’t think Google should control what people wear.

I know there’s been a campaign for years about seasonal depression, but lack of sleep causes depression too and if it’s only dark for 5.5 hours I’m probably getting about that much sleep and I’m probably waking a few times during it to sigh and turn over. Unless there’s AC and the light is 100% blacked out (not a speck peeking over or around the curtain).

I can’t stand it. I can’t sleep well with the sun up. My kids don’t sleep well with the sun up. Who to I have to sacrifice to the sun to get darkness between at least 10pm and 6am? (Though preferably 9pm and 6:30, if the sun is up for negotiations.)

One thing to keep in mind is that dual booting can work to highlight what you’re missing because generally all of the games that run on Linux will run on Windows, but the reverse is not true. It becomes easy to just default to windows so you don’t have to reboot to play something that doesn’t work in Linux and that can undermine the attempt to switch the OS.

Seems like they could just release the server software for the online only games. I’m pretty sure people are reverse engineering it anyway.

0.286x damage done, 3.5x damage taken. Doesn’t scale well at all. It would be nice if it were more granular and they had separate sliders for damage done and damage taken.

Electrocuting their balls, apparently.

Wait, so his skull layout is in the shape of a crucifix? Maybe it just means he’s extra holy.
