Happy 2024 you dummies Got two massages in the past two days and the masseuse (same both times) said I should be getting one every month, so I guess one of my resolutions for the year will be to stretch more (and hopefully get a couple more massages)

Thank you for the reminders to finish live-action One Piece, got that and the upcoming Shogun miniseries to hit early this year. MrLogan posted:33 is the average age (assuming you have a college degree) to have a kid as a male nowadays. Checks out, I had my first just before my 34th birthday and I can't imagine having the means to have done it much sooner.

Tulalip Tulips posted:My parents had me at 17 and then my mom had my baby sister at 38, so it's a fun age gap to explain. A friend of mine is a self-proclaimed "oops baby" - her two sisters are 20+ years older than her. So you're not alone! bobjr posted:With anyone I knew under 20 who had a kid, the make or break point was how much help their parents/grandparents gave them. Yeah, anybody who I know had a kid before like 30 had very involved family, a lot of money, or one parent who could be home all the time. Oftentimes a combination of those factors! Manoueverable posted:And on an ethical level I just don't know if I could bring them into a world that will almost certainly see the collapse of civilization and all the horrors it will bring within their lifetime. I know it feels much more real because we are experiencing it daily, but there's always been some sort of ongoing crisis or negative externality that has made bringing kids into the world a questionable choice. And yet people still get up in the morning and try to make the most of life. The vast majority of people ITT were born under the very real threat of nuclear annihilation (or at least an oft-discussed threat).

Last day in Thailand/SE Asia and I am so ready to go home. A lot of fun but I remembered about a week ago why I only do this trip once every few years. Also regarding Tomlin, 17 years without a losing season is insane even if it has gotten stale. Someone in one of the N/V threads said that the Brady-Belichek Pats broke a lot of brains regarding coaching expectations, and I'm inclined to agree. The Lions haven't even had half that many non-losing seasons since 9/11! seiferguy posted:Man, I'm looking at going to Houston for the CFB championship, and it's at least $850+fees for the ticket, and pretty much all direct flights to Houston from Seattle are sold out unless I buy first class so I'd probably have to fly to Austin or Dallas and drive it. Then hotel... I have a friend who's using some settlement money from her somewhat-recent divorce to go. Queen poo poo.

Missed drive chat, but the longest drive I've done "on my own" was the western Chicago burbs to Philly when my wife and I first moved here. 12 hours with only a couple of quick stops, back half was through uncharted (for us) territory in PA in pitch dark and driving rain. And with my wife driving our car by herself while I had the van, she hated that. That really sucks and all, but I run over there every so often and I have zero memory of a gate in front of Xfinity Live. Certainly not one big enough to impale yourself!

I remember thinking that The OC was dumb when I watched the premiere back in the mid-00s, and then it was one of our COVID binges and it actually kind of cooks? Maybe that just means I'm old. Android Apocalypse posted:Apparently it was a shock to the rest of the cast & even David Simon too! Yeah, in his Hot Ones interview he talks about overhearing David Simon not wanting to cast any Brits, so he faked an American accent for the audition lol. Whatever works!

a neat cape posted:I am at Kefka's tower. Oh boy the whole endgame of FF6 is incredible, I'm excited for you. The end credits sequence is a half hour long! I think every group has their work cut out for them a bit, just try to keep them all balanced. If you are trying to get all of Strago's Lore then I think one of them is used by a boss on one route, might be worth looking that up.

a neat cape posted:I really wish Chrono Trigger had found a way to involve the entire party with Lavos the way Kefka's tower did with the entire party If you look closely, nearly every character's ending vignette features at least one of Celes, Edgar, or Setzer, since they're the only characters that you have to get in the World of Ruin. That way, the scenes still work even if you were a loving jerk and skipped recruiting somebody. I think the only exceptions are Strago (can't recruit without Relm) and Relm (dunno what this looks like without Strago).

JPrime posted:nice, i picked those up a while back for the nes/snes games but need to get around to playing them again. I never beat 3 on the console itself, only on an emulator. Weird personal trivia: my SNES copy of Final Fantasy 3 was previously owned by the current head(?) of IT for University of Michigan's athletics department. He (and his eventual wife) and my mom were co-workers in the 90s and when I was a kid he just gave me the cart one day. I got really mad because I wanted a copy of Mega Man X lol. They're still friends with my parents and I feel a little bit of embarrassment over it whenever I see him.

Outlook is fine for me but Teams is the dogshit app in our company. Something goes wrong on every call. I can no longer make Teams calls from the desktop app and our IT group told me to kick rocks until it's my turn for a new laptop (which they are rolling out to the whole org...eventually).

It was a mostly empty theater and we riffed on it the entire time. People came up to us after and said we made the movie watchable. ngl you've made this movie sound very cool, at least to the version of me that existed when it was released. No I will not be confirming whether or not it's still cool to present me.

If you've lost ten pounds by not drinking for three weeks then 1. Good on ya 2.

Leperflesh posted:e. inflation is in fact falling and has been for months though, including on food and rent and transportation. That doesn't mean rent prices are going down, but the "inflation is out of control" line is republican party "keep saying it so people believe it" fabrication that flies in the face of the actual economic data. Almost no one besides economists cares about the data on this, if the economy feels bad to the person experiencing it then that person will say that it's bad. Not saying the data are wrong but we're firmly in the era of Feels-Based Politics, so data take a backseat to the lived experiences of voters.

I acknowledge that AOE2 is a much better game, but I'll always have a soft spot for AOE1. I was a Nintendo Kid, and that and Myst were the first two PC games that I played that really stuck in my young brain as "wow you could never do this on a console".
