SoCal, maybe an hour away from San Diego. East County is a white supremacy hotspot. It’s all rich white fucks who crow loudly about hating California but stay and make our lives miserable because red states are shit holes and they know it.

WHAT?

It’s a mutation, happens rarely. I’ve had a couple of plants do it in the 5 or so years I’ve been growing.

Those people have proven themselves to not be worthy of a relationship. Those people should be shunned for being inhumane monsters, not welcomed back into society. They will not change. They hate me and the people I love. I, and I assume many others like me, will never forgive, and never forget. And they will not stop. Even if we win the election, we will not have beaten them. This will only escalate until we beat them back and crush their ideology.

Bottled water and prepping the generator. I fully expect the racist fucks out here to cause real problems, regardless of outcome. We already have daily parades of giant lifted trucks covered in Trump flags doing burnouts and screaming the n-word at people. In 2020 we had some protesting high school kids get attacked and beaten by adult Trump supporters, cops looked the other way. My town has a giant painting of a Nazi on its largest building, which is a Mason hall. I hate this place.

The gentle thrum of a Federation starship’s warp core.

This… Explains a lot. I gotta go drown in hops now.

I do this as a joke with basically all of my friends who are in hetero relationships.

“I’m gonna spend the evening with the wife and kids, sorry.”

“Gay!”

I would assume the US, and probably somewhere rural. I’m an hour outside a major CA city and it’s like 70% functionally illiterate racists. They are not fans of books.

My work setup is close to that, I use a 43 inch 4k. Each quadrant is effectively a 22 inch HD display. But I still have a second HD monitor because sometimes you need that logical separation. I tried 2 43 inch monitors but it made my neck hurt, lol.

My gaming rig is two ultrawides stacked on top of each other with vertical HD monitors on each side.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes! Learn how bad at communication you really are!

I don’t think I could ever go back to a single monitor setup. Screen real estate is ALWAYS at a premium. I feel so constrained when forced to use just one.

Stupid sexy spiders. I’m pretty sure Mark Bagley’s Ultimate Spider-Man is the root of many of my own insecurities.

You take that back. Ben is beautiful and perfect and I will hear nothing to the contrary.

A different take: Metropolis, and Gotham, and of course Earth-616’s New York City are where our pantheons live. Larger than life characters meant to tell allegorical stories about cultural values. And every red-blooded American knows that Superman stands for Truth and Justice, Spider-Man is a selfless hero of the people, and that Batman is a billionaire psychopath who uses violence to address mental health issues, his own and society in general. That last one’s not great but it is quite American. Zeus was a bestiality-themed rapist, so I mean shades of grey or whatever, lol.

Cute! Looks a lot like my Chihuahua mutt!

Oh yeah, for sure. Don’t get me wrong, I hope these are good. I liked John Henry Irons, Superboy, and Eradicator as well, lol. Just not the original, and need to be able to stand on their own. I desperately want more games like DE but what I don’t want is a bunch of bad actors churning out bad clones sold on someone else’s good reputation. Not that I’m accusing any of these games of that, just that given ZA/UM’s current situation, it’s hard not to worry.

And similarly, all 4 of these are not the real deal. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for more games like this and I hope they’re good, but I will wait until Kurvitz and Rostov to be at the helm again before getting too excited.

Earbuds for activity. They cancel out distractions and mostly I’m listening to podcasts.

Open-back headphones for gaming and music listening. High dynamic range and side to side balance is important.

Studio monitors for casual listening or movie watching. Best low end response and can move a lot of air.

Kokomo. It’s just the worst.
