This is something me and my brother always did whenever we collectively bought a new game for our N64/GameCube. I'll never forget snapping that shrink wrap off, popping open the case, and whiffing in the wood-pulpy smell of a freshly-printed, made-with-love Wind Waker manual. It was all ogre when we bought the walkthrough manual; not even my wife smells that good.

Or should I have mentioned Pokemon Stadium...?

Dude, I only have a 36" LED and budget sound bar and I still wouldn't go to the cinema. It's cheaper to rent the movie online, I can ensure my popcorn is perfectly buttered and not burnt (truly a game changer), and I don't have to shush 2.5 teenagers every matinee night.

Theaters are dead, man.

I would expect no less from an active website with such a domain name.

Cheese cloth works works amazingly well to wrap your leaves in, no cold press necessary!

Raspberry leaf, hibiscus, and rosehips. Citrus peel instead of rosehips if you prefer a more fruity blend. Cold press with a teaspoon or two of wildflower honey, add a mint leaf for freshness and you have wonderfully refreshing summertime tea. Add boba for the kids and they don't mind the low sugar content!

Kika meowing loudly because she "hunted" something

Our 10yo Tabby has done this since the first day I adopted her. We found it so endearing we bought her a stuffed rat that's almost bigger than her own noggin.

In regards to sleep hygiene, that was arguably the worst decision we've ever made.

Still love the rascal to pieces!

Cat tax:

[–] chknbwl 9 points 6 months ago

It's not so much about paying more, but rather directing where my taxes go. I already pay out the ass in taxes where I live, I'd just rather see my hard-earned income spent on public comprehensive healthcare... primary and undergrad education... automating as much production as possible... universal basic income.

Not blowing people up. Not digging for oil. Not bailing out corporations. And CERTAINLY not funding police with military surplus used to oppress and murder our very own citizens.

The people using my money for those purposes, and more, can go Fuck themselves to death. Preferably in the least enjoyable way possible.

Kid probably got food or juice on it, then thought the best solution would be to put it in a washing machine to... clean it.

Some kid the town over from me was going max speed (~50km/h) and smoked their leg on a mailbox. Probably needed over a dozen stitches, judging by the picture.

I won't be surprised if they get regulated to half their current speed, or even needing basic licensure and an age limit to operate one.

Mine is hiding behind a submission form requiring a permanent address in their district in order to contact them.

Looks like I'll just have to show up at their office to ask why they sent bombs to kill thousands of innocent women and children.

Engineering aside, Tesla cars simply have terrible build quality. They're like the Stellantis of the EV market now. Why anyone still buys them new it seems I will never understand.
