I got a Pantum laser printer and it’s free of all the rent-a-printer crap that the big ones are pulling now. It was easy to set up with my Linux system too.

Playing hypothetical games like this are poisonous to a relationship. My advice is to not do that kind of thing anymore.

Until and unless they break up these predatory property management companies, anything they do push through won’t be anywhere near enough.

I did once because the driver completely ignored my delivery instructions and I called to cancel the tip. They refunded it immediately.

Our building has a problem with theft, which I noted in my instructions, and they left the order in the lobby despite my clear warning to the contrary.

Yes.

I seem to have misplaced my violin as it’s so tiny.

But to quote their ridiculous ancient book of nonsense, you reap what you sow.

The day they stop trying to shove their own personal religious choices down everyone else’s throat and criminalizing what should be a woman’s own bodily autonomy is the day I stop feeling this way.

Too bad medical science can’t invent a killer virus that takes out right wing fundamentalists with pinpoint accuracy.

I feel the same way about grocery store club cards. “Let us vacuum up your buying habits to sell to information brokers while simultaneously ripping off everybody that doesn’t use a card.”

I’ve bought three versions of NMS over the years due to platform changes and at one point a snapped disc.

Hello Games also has other titles and they’re a small dev team. They’re an example of what game companies could do if they wanted to, rather than strangling the player base with microtransactions.

Michael Moorcock is classic, I’m not sure what’s in that volume but he rarely disappoints.

Nalo Hopkinson and Nisi Shawl are afrofuturists, and I love their work.

The rest I don’t really know but the price is right.

The only purpose to life is to live it. Beyond that, you have to find the meaning that suits you for yourself.

I don’t struggle with it. When the end finally comes it will bring peace the likes of which I’ve never experienced. Life’s been hard and as I age, my body is breaking down in little annoying ways that add up into a larger annoyance. The only thing I fear about the end is dying in pain.

Thank you. The other one had an emergency vet visit yesterday and I’m waiting nervously for her usual wake up time to see if she’s still alive.

One of my birds died a few months back and I cried in terror for the other one (who is still sick on and off). Up until then I thought all my tears had been burned out by a 15 year family court struggle with my abusive ex.

If you liked the Expanse you might be interested in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars series, and for the same reasons.

As for your original question, for me the important part is good writing and story telling. Some writers’ styles just turn me off no matter how good or important the work is. Narrative style is what makes or breaks a book for me no matter the genre.

It’s one I gave myself: I told my adult and nearly adult sons this year that we aren’t doing Xmas anymore because we’re atheist and anti-capitalist and as a holiday it is counter to our beliefs. The kids didn’t care and I’m off the hook from now on. Best Xmas gift ever!

Well, now she knows he’s not worth the trouble of the first date.

I’ll be 59 this year and have been gaming since Pong. They’ll pry my controller from my cold, dead fingers. Also, I’m a woman as is the circle I play with, who are also all older women (45+). We do exist and couldn’t give a fuck about what society thinks about it.

Better gaming than just being a potato watching TV every spare minute with no other outlet.

Gaming’s been shown to help prevent dementia because it keeps the brain active.

Consider that the women that you’ve been trying to date that don’t appreciate gaming just aren’t the right partner for you.
