"...there will be massive consequences and severe costs in response, and the G7 is absolutely united in that," she said. “The kinds of costs that we are talking about are designed to be implemented very very fast." I think the G7 knows what it's doing. Expert opinions seem to be mixed on whether wh...

That definition of neurodivergent seems tautological. You have to have a definition of typical for atypical to have any meaning.

Last time around Obama talked a lot of shit and then just did nothing when Russia took Crimea. I don't see why it would be any different this time around. Russia will occupy Donbass, people will act outraged, nobody will do anything.

I've missed some very blatant signals. And when I do perceive signals my instinct is to withdraw because I'm generally not looking for that in my life. Even when I'm single and lonely and they're attractive, it's a bunch of emotional stress stuff with a stranger that I usually just don't want to get...

I’m technically a Xennial since I’m right on the cusp of gen X and Millenial. Despair around climate change, n...

Interesting! Is it The Long Dark by any chance? I play 7 Days to Die when I’m in a gaming mood and I heard about TLD when looking for similar survivalist type games. I haven’t given it a try yet though. Yes, it's The Long Dark. I would say it has a much different feel to it than other sandbox survi...

Best show I ever attended: Cannibal Corpse. I was like 16. There was a local spot where all ages shows, local kids punk stuff mostly. Lots of fun stupid times there. Cannibal Corpse was by far the biggest act to play in that venue. Pretty small place, room for maybe a couple hundred? No seats. That ...
