The Grand Nagus is not only the financial leader of the Ferengi Alliance, but also the leader of the entire Alliance itself! :pseudo: (Although the Nagus serves at the pleasure of the Ferengi Commerce Authority, who can remove a Nagus in the event of failing health or senility. Basically, if the Board of Liquidators gets pissed off enough, that Nagus is hosed.)

Just got back from my first local area council meeting. It was the sanitation board and I got in a fight with their attorney and cheered by the audience which was large because of a really unpopular decision they made. Fun times.

Getting involved in local politics is cool. Several years ago, when I was still married and living in Wisconsin, I actually started a run for Common Council in Madison because I felt our alder was both not accurately representing the ward and also just flat-out wrong on a lot of issues. (He was also weirdly combative, rude and sometimes flat-out unprofessional during council meetings.)

I had to drop out of the race due to blood clots, but doing all that door-knocking and getting to know people and what their priorities were was a really great experience.

I’m strongly considering attending our annual condo board meeting this fall, because some old bitch keeps snitching on me for stupid poo poo and I wanna see if I can suss out who it is.


I mean, technically they’re not wrong and I’m in violations of the grooming standards but it’s totally petty poo poo and they should mind their own business and leave me the gently caress alone. I’m sorry for parking our second car in the one car only driveway for like 15 minutes, what about the people literally two doors down that leave two cars in their driveway for multiple days you God drat hag

Oh, and this woman and her husband were also getting into it with the council, and they are apparently really active in the community and were super nice. But afterward outside, we were just chatting, and there was what looked to be like a meteroite burning up. Picture a shooting star that lasts like 30 seconds. People were speculating on what it was and she says "oh, I thought it might be a space shuttle, not like NASAs but one of that idiots shuttles with SpaceX or whatever" and I think I made a new best friend.

Closest thing I have to an HOA is the county giving me fire abatement warnings and my shits pretty clean, I took the slash pile to the dump and cleared the area around the fire hydrant. Some of these places near me are so overgrown you can’t see their front door.

I would probably want to do poo poo like plant berry bushes and a mulberry tree and let a bunch of (native) “weeds” grow in my yard- especially the edible ones! - and I can’t imagine that ever flying with an HOA.

I just assume that one X-Files episode is what would happen eventually.

Eh those people are this like 26 year old girl and her gently caress boy boyfriend that moved in a month after she dumped her last boyfriend, I don’t think it’s them. It’s almost certainly one of the 90 year old ladies that do nothing but sit on their porch or maybe the one who’s window faces directly at our unit and when she introduced herself said “All I do all day is stare out that window” :stonk:

My lawn is a mess, with the grass mostly dead from the summer heat & the only green is the weeds.

I did pass by my neighbor that was watering their lawn yesterday and their grass was a luscious green. For a brief moment I was envious.

Meanwhile my next door neighbor has a Himalayan blackberry growing along our property line; while regular blackberries are native to the PNW Himalayans are not. :mad:

Yeah for the most part, it’s a great, HUGE game. The newest update was a huge overhaul to how a lot of it works and QOL improvements. So far I like what they’ve done it’s just gonna take some getting used to. It’s worth giving it another shot, it’ll probably feel like a completely different game if you haven’t touched it since launch.

At the end of the month there’s a new DLC coming out that stars Idris Elba and it’s supposed to be pretty awesome.

I mean, I didn't even ever get as far as installing the game. I'll have to give it a shot this winter when I'll have some time to game.

Oh well then yeah definitely play it then. This is the second huge update they’ve made. A vast majority of the original bugs are gone. You still get random ones like you do with games this big but they’re not bad.

Sounds more like Multiplicity. Michael Keaton makes clones of himself to help get stuff done. Eventually the clones make a clone of themselves and the clone of a clone ends up being incredibly stupid. Seeing how AI is going so far, that seems like the most likely outcome.
