I worked security at an amusement park and happened to work a late shift when we switched to DST. Instead of getting off at 3 a.m., we all got off at 4 a.m. We were all pretty pissed because we didn't get OT.

Life is Strange: True Colors completely fucked with my head. Not all the plot relevant and intense parts of the game, but the moments where Alex found a new home and community. Especially the end where

spoilerGabe's "ghost" guides you to choose between staying in Haven or leaving.
Watching the scenes of Alex staying really hit me hard because I lived for years in a place I hated, was working in a stressful environment I hated, and was 1000 miles away from my friends. It took a while to get out of that funk, but I haven't gone back to play it despite being in a better place and it being one of my favorite games of all time.

How to thicken lacquer (self.lemmylaqueristas)
 

Hey all,

I have a couple OPI Nail Lacquers and love some of them. The black and purple ones are great, but the light blue and white are kind of not great.

Both of them are very thin and watery and when they're ready to be removed, they can be peeled off in one piece rather than flaking like the black and purple do. Even when they've dried on my nails, they have a different feel to them. I've tried having them in open air, but even after 45 minutes, nothing happened and it was just as thin.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, I just can't figure out what.

Sad no one reacted to Travis' Ghost joke at 21:38.

So they are really just Jewish in belief?

Lol, I didn't realize how close that sounds to Judaism.

More like, still accept him as dying for your sins and following his teachings. They've always ascribed more to Deistic beliefs anyway.

Recipes that are attainable for a home chef.

My biggest pet peeves are when I see a channel insist that I buy a brand new piece of equipment or an ingredient that can only be found in a specialty shop. I love Babish, but it annoys me when he says, "Go to your local Mexican grocery store," or something of that nature. I do not have one, and if I do, it's more catered towards a white American and not the immigrants looking for their countries ingredients. I had to stop watching Joshua Weissman because he would constantly say I needed a certain piece of equipment that was $100+ or a fresh ingredient and there was no way I would ever be able to get it fresh.

The cooking channel I love the most is Internet Shaquillle. He never says you have to buy a certain product. He'll straight up show you things you can buy at Kroger for $2. And he'll give alternatives if you don't have certain equipment. Ethan Chlebowski is another fantastic one.

I have to agree. I saw a mini exodus from my childhood church. I grew up "catholic". My parents made me go to church and get confirmed, but they were always part of the more progressive part of catholics. Believed that gay marriage was perfectly fine, abortion was only the woman's choice, and evolution was a fact. And they always taught me that the Bible was mostly fiction. Jesus existed, but he was a person, not a magic man and the Old Testament was a book of parables. They were obviously in the minority, but our church had a bunch of people like them. They actually just really liked the teachings and the community.

It wasn't until 2012 when our city's diocese sent out a flyer telling them how to vote and a fellow churchgoer did the same, telling them they weren't real catholics if they didn't vote straight R. They haven't been to any church since and although they both consider themselves catholic, heavily criticize the current state of the church (and all the pedophilia shit).

I remember being absolutely obsessed with this show when it was on. I had my dad rush me home from basketball practice to catch it on time. None of this is really surprising to hear though.

 

So, like 10 years ago when I got a big amount of money for Christmas, I went and bought my first guitar, which I could really only afford a Squier Bullet. Fast forward to now, I still have this but I also have a Epiphone Les Paul Standard a friend gave me.

I like the Les Paul, but I like the lightweight body of the Squier. It obviously sucks, it's 10 years old and is not a great build quality, but I still like playing it. Barring personal feelings about keeping my first guitar or buying a new one, would it be better, long term, to just replace the parts on it that suck or is the whole build quality just holding it back?

For me, I held out even after ELDC's first game. I've started watching again, and as much as want us to win the WS, a tiny part of me doesn't want either Castellini to see success.

I guess I just decided that watching, listening, and going to the games would try to show the knuckleheads at the top that fans like when teams actually try to win.
