Can I try the King thing for a week or so, and come back when I get bored?

Man. Some guys have ALL the luck. 😠

Aside from the goriest details, I’ve known the gist of WW2 since middle school. Some things may have changed since then, but the people who are making the decisions aren’t far from my age.

That being said, all states have different education standards. If the Mississippi board of education decides there was no Holocaust, they aren’t going to teach it there.

The other variable is how much they cared. I know plenty of Americans that couldn’t tell you the history of anything, and I also know some people who’ve made a career out of American History.

There was no national shortage of knowledge available, some people just don’t care.

I’ve been the tooth fairy for many years at my house.

Good idea with the bedtime thing, but you risk the kid finding it before they go to sleep.

I would wait until I went to bed to do the swap.

Before bedtime, I’d have them put the tooth in a Ziploc baggie so they don’t lose it. That way, when you slide your hand under the pillow, you can just feel for the plastic and slide it out.

For easy mode, have a second bag ready with money in it and pop that in, otherwise, remove tooth, add money, under the pillow and out the door!

Not pointy enough.

Borderlands 2 and Tales from the Borderlands were really great stories. Tales is a classic Telltale game, so really any of those should be on a story driven list, but Borderlands 2 deserves far more credit than it gets. Sure, they don’t take themselves too seriously, and have no problem relying on sophomoric fart jokes, but the character development and Plot twists are fantastic. There were points that I honestly started to tear up. (Sorry, Bloodwing) and 2 minutes later I’m laughing my ass off because Jack can’t find his violin. (He had this whole thing planned out, it would have been great.)

Sorry, I got deeper into that than I expected.

Of the less mainstream, What Remains of Edith Finch. The less I say about this one, the better. Very dark, very morbid. Only takes a few hours, but it tells some disturbing stories.

Also Inscryption. I thought I was just getting into a card game, but there is SOOO much more to the game than that. Trust me, if you do play this game DO NOT GIVE UP ON IT until the WTF moment happens. If you don’t know what that means, keep going, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Sounds like my mom.

I’d also add when something goes wrong it’s ALWAYS somebody else’s fault. Generally, if someone were to accidentally bump into something and break it, most would apologize, and at least offer to help fix or replace it, but my mom would get angry at whoever “put that there where it would get broken.”, or at the company for making such a shoddy product, or claim “you should thank me because that thing was ugly/ needed replaced.”

Also, she knows more about medicine than any doctor, more about cars than any mechanic, and if anyone implies otherwise, they just hate women and won’t listen to them.

So much temptation, I must ban EVERYTHING that makes me horny!!!

Don’t forget “Aggressive noogies”.

Those are popular at my house.

There are always random flukes, or correlation confused with causation. I would probably add: The more consistent the observations, the closer they are to reality.

I love this! It doesn’t seem like it could possibly be true, but my 30 seconds of testing haven’t debunked it.

You know what else liberals love?

30 round magazines!

I’d probably just give up and join MAGA if they ever took THOSE away.

Whenever someone asks if a game should be remade, I always say no. I’d rather get a new game!

That being said, I spent the entire weekend playing Oblivion.

This is coming from the man who created a national campaign questioning the president’s citizenship.

Just remember, real world relationships don’t happen like they do on TV and movies. There is no formula to follow that will win over whoever you set your eyes on. It’s about two people finding each other.

You’ll probably feel better about all this if you shift your perspective a little. Right now you’re frustrated because you’re seeing a date as the first step to a relationship, and then when it doesn’t go any further, you feel like you’ve failed and you have to start over. You are reluctant to try again because you expect another failure.

Dating is simply increasing your sample size.

Those past dates weren’t failures, you successfully learned that those people weren’t compatible with you.

If you try a new food and you don’t like it, do you consider that a failure? You stepped out of your comfort zone, decided it wasn’t for you, and now you know to avoid that dish in the future, and the next one you try might be your new favorite, or, it might not, but how else will you know?

Get out there, interact with people and increase your sample size! There are plenty of other people with similar interests as you, it might just take a while to find them.

Once you give up, only then have you failed, otherwise, you just aren’t there yet. It’s better to take your time and find the right person, than rush into a relationship with somebody you aren’t compatible with. (Trust me, I’m on my second marriage because I desperately clung to the first person who showed interest in my 20s)

I’m pretty sure you do, since you claim to be her in your other posts.

That’s the thing about playing with the mob, you don’t get to decide when it’s over.

Fuck the police.

That’s a nope for me, dawg.
