So, they’re only going to make games with no narrative complexity going forward. Got it.

Thought that the discomfort in overhead presses and triceps dips was something I should push through. The result was that I tore both a rotator cuff muscle and the labrum ibn one of my shoulders. I’m still recovering from the surgery to put my shoulder back together. :|

It’s generally a bit easier with two people in the car. But even by myself, I haven’t had too hard of a time keeping a cat out from under my feet.

TBH, with almost all of my cats–currently 8, but easily 30+ over my life–it just being in the carrier. If they’re allowed to roam the car while you’re driving, they tend to stop screaming. You do need to get them in a kennel before you open a car door or window for any reason though.

About 50/50. SCOTUS has already ruled that the 3rd section of the 14th amendment to the US constitution doesn’t mean what it plainly says, so there’s no real hope that they’d uphold the 22nd.

The only reason I place it that low is because he’s ripe for a fatal heart attack or stroke.

Because his abuse of tax credits means that his films are always profitable, and it’s free money for the video game developers. Seriously, who would ever go see a House of the Dead film, regardless of who directed it? It was a Resident Evil knock-off on rails. Or Blood Rayne? Seriously, these were never top-tier games to start, so they lose nothing, and gain $weet, $sweet ca$h.

Then you have ADHD. (Probably.) Stimulants tend to make ppl with ADHD feel like they’re slowing down, because it allows them to pay attention to just one thing instead of everything all at once (depending in the exact flavor of ADHD, anyways).

Adderall is, uh, not a sedative.

What about using OneKey so that she mostly needs to worry about remembering a PIN? It looks like you can set it up to automatically open your password manager. Might also need to synch her browsers.

As an added bonus, she would have to hold on to the key without losing it, because if she lost it, she’s effectively locked out of accounts forever.

I’m officially in the 99th+ percentile, but IIRC your score gets less accurate the farther you deviate from the mean. And a high reasoning ability is absolutely no predictor of success in life.

Plus, I feel like a douchebag when I say shit like, “oh, my IQ is 140…” as if that’s some kind of achievement or worth something all on it’s own.

Neither was the SR-71. Both programs had a very limited mission, which is why neither was ever produced in quantity.

Call my parents and my very few friends and let them know, and make sure that they understood how much they’d meant to me. Then I’d spend the rest of my time with my partner, making sure that I’d tied up loose ends, gave them full access to all my accounts so that they didn’t get nasty surprises after my death, and then just talk to them.

Honestly, according to IQ tests, I’m already in the 95th+ percentile for intelligence. I’m also on the autism spectrum, and just got diagnosed with severe ADHD late last year. I’ve accomplished fuck-all by being smart, and it’s mostly made me depressed. I’d pick being slightly dumb, but hot.

Very cute!

That’s a super-cute white Cornish! I can’t tell if the tabby is also?

I knew a guy–Ola Bini–that fled the US, and emigrated to Ecuador, because he was afraid that he was going to be targeted by the US gov’t. I think he made it less than two years in Ecuador before he was arrested for ‘hacking’ Ecuador gov’t computers; he was jailed during the entire judicial process, almost a decade, before all the charges were dropped, and he was released and deported to Sweden. Best guess is that despite not having a extradition treaty with the US, the US still put a ton of pressure on Ecuador to detain him. (Maybe he actually committed crimes? IDK, it’s possible, but all charges being dropped after all that time in jail without a trial seems iffy. )

Point is, there aren’t a lot of places you can go if the US wants to fuck your life. Russia and China are the best options, and both are not great.

I was thinking Edge becaudse that comes stock with every new system you buy; Chrome is something you have to install proactively. But yeah, you’re probably right. You eith look anonymous because your system looks generic, or you have some small degree of privacy without anonymity. It’s a shitty choice to make.

Trains in the US are starting to have some of the same security measures as airlines… :(

I quit flying (domestically, at least) over the x-rays and TSA bullshit. I’m driving 13 hours today in order to avoid that particular security theater.

Use a computer that you bought off the shelf at a big box store. Don’t add any hardware, software, fonts, or change any settings. Use MS Edge with no extensions, and clear your cookies and cache after each session.

That will make you about as generic as possible.
