Yes, but the warning was included in the subject. Also there’s no more obvious twist than that.

Knights of the Old Republic.

I’d heard for many years how amazing they were, so I finally tried them.

Each game has a major plot twist. Both are obvious enough but if you google anything the spoiler in the first game is ruined.

The one in the second I was assured was a better game but apparently only if you download the unofficial patch that finishes the game, and it still can’t save the game from the obvious fucking fact you’ve been carrying around the BBEG since the goddamned beginning while everyone tried to pretend otherwise.

People want remakes of these games primarily for nostalgia, and they do not hold up.

And what’s the word in German that means everything you just wrote?

I’ve done a lot of self-forgiveness in recent years, so a lot of the simpler and sillier ones I don’t think of as embarrassing anymore.

Could be the time I flipped a guy off after he cut me off and I missed a light. He saw me in his mirror and started freaking out and swerving, almost hit a curb.

I didn’t mean to ruin his day. Just letting off steam.

Either that or the time I drove on the shoulder to avoid a car stopped in the middle of the road. When I merged back she had started to move and we collided. Totally my fault.

I only realized later that due to her age, location, and stickers on her car from a nearby Catholic University that I’d probably hit a nun.

Sure, but a corrupt government can fabricate evidence to keep their enemies silenced.

Look at Russia and their treatment of Alexei Navalny.

Actually the thought is if the government can just imprison you to stop your candidacy, they have too much power.

Thus they can continue to run.

I will have to try and use it. I am running Curse of Strahd now so cursed money would be spectacular!

You are older than me, I suppose. I was playing it at 11 years old or so. My first CRPG, although my dad had run a D&D game for the family a few years prior so I had a reference point.

I remember my cousin telling us about the Creeping Coins and my imagination went wild, assuming you could loot them and they’d attack you later from your inventory.

Nope. Just normal randomly spawning encounter.

It meant my Dad never played Scrabble with my mom ever again, that’s what it meant.

Across two Triple Word tiles, no less.

Maybe you’re thinking of something along the lines of Bishop Berkeley’s Theory of Immaterialism.

Essentially, things only exist and continue to exist because we agree that they do and expect them to remain that way.

Also featured in the children’s book Mr. Radagast Makes an Unexpected Journey, which I adored when I was younger.

I took the opposite tack.

You ain’t shit, Pythagoras! You just wrote it down, you didn’t figure it out, you absolute fucking fraud. We’re taking your immortality back!

Are you telling me there’s a way for me to become more of a coffee snob?!

Edit: Google says it’s not this way and makes for weak coffee.

She was named Beta, a yellow lab who was housed with a yorkshire terrier, constantly yapping and nipping at her.

Eventually she snapped.

At the time the owner was pregnant so there was no way they could take the risk.

My wife and I adopted her because we already had another dog from the litter, her sister Violet. We renamed her to Veda.

Never had a problem. She growls softly when her lines are crossed but is otherwise a perfectly snuggly girl. Getting on in years but still with us.

I think it’s better to not look at it as good and evil but as joy and pain.

There will always be both joy and pain in the world. And there isn’t even a ‘balance’ between the two. Some experience more pain than joy. Some, more joy than pain.

Part of the trick is to learn to focus on the joy. The pain will be there and requires acknowledgment, not attention.

Eat their young when they are in a confined space that appears to not support the population.

In a sense, we make them eat their young by putting them in cages and breeding them.

But it is behavior learned in the wild - keep alive only the babies you can actually support, or else everyone dies.

Nature gets brutal sometimes. One of my dogs once killed another dog, but she’s always been a total sweetheart to me.

Raccoons are cute, curious, critters with thumbs. They like to wash their food. They’re adorable!

But they are also wild creatures that will bite when scared and can carry dangerous diseases.

Nature gets brutal.

I wonder if this tricking back to Biden’s desk is what finally made him pause an ammo shipment.

I’m not agreeing with him at all but that’s a strange jump to take.

I’d say that secondary sexual characteristics in women tend to involve body fat. Being in extremely good shape does affect that a little bit - breasts, hips, face, ass, - and some would see that as looking more masculine where I’d say they’re just extremely fit.

Somehow roundness and softness is ‘feminine.’

That isn’t the type of behavior that I think most find annoying but I’m sorry that you get that reaction at all.

I think many people are so annoyed with feeling they are attacked for eating meat (and I do eat meat) that when that button gets pressed the anger just rises up.

For me I get a little true guilt. I know I’m not helping in the best possible ways that I can, all the time. I’m not perfect and won’t ever pretend that I am, and I also haven’t given up on getting better. When I go a day without eating meat, I congratulate myself. With a burger. (No, not really.)

Petite mort, translated from French, means “little death”, and is generally used as a euphemism for orgasm.

Some of us have died… a lot.
