    The biggest upgrade in the TTYD remake is obviously Mario's mailbox, they changed it from having a tiny shitty slot to the entire thing being openable, so Parakarry can fit Mario's 5th order of plumbing screws of the week inside there.

    Dude was out biking with his dog, unleashed, and that dog suddenly charged at me.

    How is everyone doing.

    All of those times slaving away the brutal 10 hour, 6 day work weeks are paid off with a 2000 dollar beefy computer that is now replacing my obsolete, old defunct one that would have issues.

    GPU: rtx 4070ti super
    CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900K 3.20 GHz
    RAM: 32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)

    I'm very happy about this and I'm pretty proud of myself.

    Knowing the political affiliation of the people you deliver political advertisements to is TMI man.

    I prefer to not talk about politics with people. It tends to inevitably cause arguments. Bet you wish you didn't know that information.

    There is one house that flew giant Trump flags on their front lawn and they gave me water.

    I appreciate the gesture but I'm just uncomfortable interacting with such people at all.

    I still have access to wiki staff channels and whatnot, so I can still discuss staff matters, but I don't have the obligation and tools to perform maintenance.

    @Ray Trace That's probably a relief, actually. I mean, it's a lot of work to be a moderator.

    It's not really a whole bunch of work but it does feel nice to be free from an obligation.

    Wonder won... best family game at least.
    Plus TOTK won best action adventure, Pikmin 4 with best sim/strategy, and Forza Motorsport won both best sports/racing and innovation in accessibility.
    Not a terrible year

    I hate December.

    That makes two of us, friend. I hate December as well due to all the holidays that come with the month. And given my autism, I struggle to deal with all the holiday havoc of this month.

    Yeah, holiday depression and anxiety are very real things that need to be addressed. Everything everywhere says December is supposed to be the happiest time of year and that just makes people with holiday depression/anxiety feel worse.

    December isn't my least favorite month of the year (that's August maybe) but in December 2019 my parents threw away my 3DS so it definitely isn't my favorite either. I feel like my favorite month of the year is November, there's another family celebration holiday and break but it's more quiet of a month.

    You walk out of your home and then you see this on your street, how would you react? (a sixth one also just drove out of this shot)

    Drawing is nothing but practice. You were very very correct.


    And also lots of references.

    @Waluigi's mom Nice! Keep going, but don't get complacent. Always see your work through a critical lens and strive to make out its problems--every good artist does so.

    Also finish your longform work. I mean it. Never let laziness and anxiety creep up onto you, otherwise you'll never improve.

    No, Patrick, mayonnaise is not an instrument.

    Horseradish is not an instrument either.

    What about chicken drumsticks? They work with an instrument, even Rodger Bumpass said this in that Zoom special in Season 12.

    Ray Trace, I need to fess up to my sins.

    Baby Luigi is currently the only baby character in Mario Kart Tour whose level I didn't max out.

    If I were to repent now, would the process be less agonising with the knowledge that Baby Mario was the first of the bunch to get this treatment?

    That's okay Nintendo didn't give him an alt anyway and he wasn't in the game at the very start. He's used to it.

    Cost to fix ac does depend on make and model of your car but for me, replacing my 2003 Honda Civics ac took me off a thousand dollars, that's on the cheaper end of it.

    The Midwest is stuck in a heat wave and the AC in my ex's car doesn't work well at all. Even just the 15 minute ride to school was absolutely miserable today. I felt so sticky and gross.

    Oh I feel you! What helps a bunch to combat heat in cars is to park underneath shade and get your windows tinted. Plus drinking cold drinks even during short commutes should lessen how miserable you feel.

    It was 90 outside degrees today and I didn't even care it was hot outside.

    What's happening, why am I not collapsing from heat exhaustion.

    90's pretty average for summer. 100+ is where it gets wild.

    Thankfully I never delivered over 100 (not yet anyway) because that temp is very rare in California, 90+ is a bit uncomfortable but it's nothing a wet cool towel, shade, my cooler, and my bottles of Gatorades can't fix. Thank god it doesn't get too humid here.

    Where I live, 95-100 degrees is NORMAL in the summer, but, then again, Louisiana doesn't have fall or spring really.

    fireworks should be banned for civilian use.

    What do you think of this? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66147920

    The government issued a decree on Sunday prohibiting "pyrotechnic articles" for the 14 July celebrations that mark France's national day.

    The move comes after rioting sparked by last month's police killing of 17-year-old Nahel M by police in Nanterre.

    However, the ban does not apply to official firework displays organised by local authorities.

    Thank you for reading.

    I completely agree with this legislation. Like, the reason fireworks go off in my city despite it banning it is that people just buy it from neighboring cities that allow it and set it off. It's terrible, not just for pets or people who have PTSD and heart problems but also for the local wildlife that gets disrupted by random negligent use.
