“We knew we had something special, but we didn’t know that it was going to explode like that,” Magers said.

I don't want any ammo vending machines if they're going to explode /s

On a serious note, I'm surprised these weren't already available. Now we just need a gun vending machine and I can feel like I'm living in a Borderlands game.

I really wish the people who say shit like this would realize how pathetic it makes them sound. I have never once felt my masculinity was being threatened because the player character in video game was female.

Its odd that you haven't come across any complaints since almost everytime this game comes up in online threads that I visit, it's filled with people criticizing it.

It's been so long I thought they had dropped the IP. The first game has some issues but it wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. Hopefully they addressed the issues with the first game.

I was going to comment the same thing. I wonder if there is an admin feature that would automatically mark all posts made to an instance as NSFW. I feel like that should just be an automatic thing done to everything posted to a porn instance.

Apparently CEOs like living more than they like making money.

I would say that the issue is not who is doing the pardoning but who is being pardoned. There's a clear difference between Hunter being pardoned and Russian assets being pardoned.

Is there even a point to putting tariffs on Russian goods with all those sanctions on Russia?

It would have been an implied "no" because I wouldn't have even answered the phone.

That tactic was tried in 2016 and failed. The political party isn't the one getting punished when you vote that way nor does it encourage them to change their ways.

Changing the direction of a political party is a long, drawn out affair that requires sustained political action over the course of years.

I have a feeling a lot of people who voted for Trump are going to be hurt by his policies and they're going to be completely shocked as though this wasn't known already. How could they possibly have known the person who bragged about hurting them when elected would actually hurt them when elected? /s

It's such an alien thought process that I don't even know where I would begin with discussing politics with such a person.

The Vending Machine one is actually pretty good.

 

I ordered a mystery box from Adagio which finally came in and was surprised at what came in. I was expecting a collection of single cup samples but instead I got several of the larger bags that can make multiple cups each.

This box contained:

  • April in Paris - .8oz
  • Blueberry Peach Gobbler Green - .5oz
  • Double Ginger Herbal - .8oz
  • Lemon Meringue Green - .5oz
  • Zodiac - aries tea - Single
  • Black Jasmine Song - Single
  • Tie Kuan Yin Black - .4oz

Since they change what they put in the mystery box each month, I might just see how to setup a monthly auto-purchase.

I picked up some new teas from a shop while on vacation and this one was pretty good. I like teas with lavender in them but I find that it's sometimes overpowering. This one had the lavender taste without it overwhelming the other flavors.

Edit: I tried to upload a picture but it wouldn't let me so I used a link to the one of the pictures on the site.

I know there's a whole ethics thing revolving around the use of AI but I still find this sort of stuff to be amazing.

 

I've gone from getting tea bags at the grocery store to tea bags ordered online and just started getting loose leaf tea. I've been buying the bags and the loose tea from Stash but I was wondering where all of you get your tea.
