The original Call of Duty was my favorite. I didn't have a good computer so I played it at a LAN center for a good while. The game also kicked off a domino of events in my friends life when I gave him a CD key for it.

My friend got pretty good at the game and joined a competitive CAL-M team, and even played at a CPL championship tournament. Well after he graduated college one of the people he played with on the team and he started a company making websites. When he told me what he was doing, I told him just don't blow too much money on it.

They ended up pivoting from their original plan of making fitness blog sites, among other niche sites they felt could generate ad revenue to making flash game sites.

They did moderately well in their endeavors and scored some high ranking search results for a few categories of flash games. They were making hundreds of thousands each and he moved to another to save on income tax. In the new state he met a woman and they ended up getting married, so I was able to draw a direct path from me giving him a CD key for cod to him getting moderately wealthy and finding a wife.

Unfortunately the last domino hasn't fallen, and it turned out she was a lieing, money grubbing, cheating whore. Flash games died out but my friend moved on to other things. He is doing great, happily remarried and we both had our first kid within about a month of each other.

The Alaskan wilderness is going to be "The Great Valley (Land before time)" to post apocalypse survivors

We could make it work on a guide line and attach a bunch of trailers to one truck. You're a genius.

He looks like a guess who card.

My step sister is going to homeschool her kids, which will be great for her youngest since she named him Jedidiah. Shockingly someone who named their kid that stopped coming to family gettogerthers after my sister's kid came out trans.

She was sad she didn't get invited to my wifes baby shower, even if my niece wasn't planning on going I still wouldn't invite her because you can't just choose to cut out part of the family because you're a bigot and expect everyone else to still want you around.

There was a while in 2019(I think) when all the office talk(software firm) was crypto then it just stopped it was glorious.

You mean after most people got vaccinated and it mutated to a less deadly version and deaths went down and it became less of a news story.

That's future Republican Supreme Court nominee white supremacist Cormac J Carney to you bub.

I'll riot if I ever need to write pure js again. 98% of web devs would be better served writing in TS. If you're actually knowledgeable enough to write more efficient js, more power to you but honestly I was probably being generous saying 2% of web devs fall into that category.

Right now it's more like megablocks

You mean the part where we make sure medicine is actually medicine.

Pitbulls do this much more frequently but any dog is capable of killing a 6 week old.

96 month 9% auto loan 🤮 might as well flush your money down the toilet.

I mean one of the candidates is a convicted felon that worships dictators and has said he will go after political rivals and that he'd be a dictator for a day.

I'm all for gun control, but honestly it's not worth the political fight. Dems should drop it from their platform for 10 years and fight the more important rights like taxing the rich, universal healthcare, climate change, and environmental protection. Far more lives would be saved from those than from gun control.

I haven't been able to get my prescription filled for 2 1/2 weeks. My work is suffering pretty hard.

How to ADHD, wait for wife and kid to go to sleep and work all night fueled by Adderall caffeine and an interesting technical problem.

I'm not pro death penalty, mostly because we suck at not convicting innocent people, but if we're going to execute someone this is probably the best way, and have thought this is how it should be done for a while. I'm not suicidal but if I was going to do it it would be with nitrogen.

I think everybody deserves the right to end their life in a humane way.

In highschool I keyed a random porsh

I'm just glad I don't take it in weekends which gives me a buffer on refills

Sounds like a killer in the making, just watched a doc about a kid like that that went on to shoot up a mall.

My wife is in labor at the most expensive hospital in the area of this story, thankfully I have good insurance and have already maxed my out of pocket.

I don't have a lot of love for Newsome the person (he just oozes greasy politician), but he is a good politician. I generally find him to be a good governor in alignment with my bleeding heart liberal views most of the time. He has the look, is younger, speaks well, and is smart so I think he passes the eye test for president. I think he'd be a slightly lefter leaning president than Biden which is probably as far left as we're going to be able to elect in this country right now.

My wife whenever we go to Costco

My daughter cats this every night at bath time

Sriracha is only slightly more spicy than ketchup

A cheaper car would've worked.

You're paying over 18k more for the car with interest over the life of the loan while it will be losing half its value.

Kinda surprised Australian cattle dogs weren't in the list. Mine is great with our 5mo but we wouldn't leave him alone with her and we always pay close attention when she gets close to him. He ignores stuff she does that would cause him to warn us off.

This would be me. 5 mins left before a meeting, let me just check this one thing. 20 mins later "sorry I'm late lost track of time".

When I took the asvab (decided not to join) another person was with me it was his 3rd time taking it and he failed again.

Ghost peppers taste really good. There is a ghost pepper salsa I freaking love.

The only thing consistent about my signature is that it's a squiggly line that vaguely resembles the first letter of my first name.

I was annoyed mine went up $550 in the last 10 years even though it's a great price for the area still

Their is no way fetterman would get a real presidential run, between the stroke and the mental health issues he wouldn't hold up as a candidate. I like the guy I just can't see him surviving (in the candidate sense) as a Presidential candidate. That being said I hope he stays in politics for a long time.

I'd love to see a study on the religiosity, political affiliation, education, wealth, career, and age of people who get scammed and the types of scams they fell for.

They are only the most prolific right now we killed and fucked over a whole bunch of natives spreading Christianity in the Americas.

I'd prefer if it was approved for everybody. Don't like living, and still feel that way after a mandatory counseling course you should be allowed to choose to end your life in a humane and clean way.
