one of those two things is going to get a lot more attention than the other

i'm playing banner saga 3 right now and the unwinnable fight against entropy and madness basically seems like a one to one comparison with the real world

How is that, by the way? I liked the second one, but not as much as the first one.

i just got invited to a wedding on friday by text message, i kind of think it's a trap but for the life of me i can't figure out what kind

i'm only two hours in. gameplay wise it's pretty much the same, some new elements added, but so far they don't amount to much. story seems to be shaping up fine. it'll probably take my second playthrough on an alternate campaign before i really know how i feel about that

we have a couple of different plastic bag bans rolling out across the region at different rates. i can never keep track of where you can't get them at all and where they come with an extra fee

I was listening to my old CDs yesterday and there's a Finnish band called Ultra Bra which was rather popular in the mid-to-late nineties, and they had a song called "Kahdeksanvuotiaana" i.e. "As an Eight-Year-Old" and the first two verses go something like this (my translation):

As an eight-year-old I knew
That the world would be destroyed
In a duel between superpowers.
As an eight-year-old I knew
That man will be crushed
Into history in the blink of an eye.

As it turns out
Wars are complicated
National conflicts
Where there's shooting
And where a few people
Die at a time
Where a few people
Die at a time


And I think it's funny that we went from fearing nuclear annihilation to not fearing nuclear annihilation and now we're back to fearing nuclear annihilation again :laffo: and :lol:.

i'm like your grandma in that way, but for the rest of them it really does seem to be the tiny loss of convenience that's bothering them. they all buy heavy-duty triple-reinforced industrial plastic garbage bags made for the purpose of holding industrial amounts of garbage and/or delicate yellow plastic garbage bags with a vanilla scent made for the purpose of holding discreet garbage prettily (my grandma). having to remember to grab a bag on their way out the door to the supermarket is apparently a major thing to force on them and they resent it. there's lots of "putting sea turtles above the needs of hard-working everyday australians" going around

Arguably none of my names are anglo

I don’t know where my German ancestors were from so I’m not sure if my middle name is anglo or saxon or something else entirely

He even officiated marriages for a whole bunch of gay people and had a gay sister that he was close with so the whole "guy is a homophobe" story seems to have been essentially slander from a shithead former business partner.
