  - Yep, same. -- nm - loosilu Dec 28, 14:27
  - Man those missed opportunities or chances that aren't taken are the worst at keeping me up at night. But what if... -- nm - sycor Dec 28, 13:41 1
    - THIS. as well as the people I have let down. -- nm - loosilu Dec 28, 14:28
- I can definitely empathize with that self-doubt/ loathing bit. - sycor Dec 28, 13:19 8
  - Self-doubt is my middle name. I mean, I think so. Can't be sure. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 28, 13:40
  - is this a Catholic thing? were you raised religious? -- nm - loosilu Dec 28, 13:31 2
    - Not Catholic. Raised Presbyterian. Left the church in college. I never considered that possibility and I think when I was in church - sycor Dec 28, 13:39 1
      - interesting! -- nm - loosilu Dec 28, 14:25
  - That sounds... exhausting. -- nm - Spawn Dec 28, 13:22 3
    - It can be. I think a lot of mine stems from chronic depression and maybe some form of PTSD from a couple bad relationships. Growing up I had loving - sycor Dec 28, 13:37 1
      - I'd like to suggest that you check out CPTSD. In the last decade or so, it has become much better understood. - loosilu Dec 28, 14:31

Bethesda, probably hoping to turn the Starfield reviews back around, will begin issuing updates every other month starting in February. Moreover… - Qale Dec 28, 12:40 5
- Im just still really shocked that Bethesda crapped out such a lemon. -- nm - Jovian Dec 28, 13:12 4
  - I can’t believe they not only didn’t bring anything new to the table, they actively subtracted from the Bethesda formula here. It takes just a few… - Qale Dec 28, 13:38 3
    - I've seen some variation of this so much that I haven't been able to bring myself to even try the game. -- nm - sycor Dec 28, 13:40 2
      - Fallout 76 still has some pretty aggravating bugs. VATS not registering the first few shots I take if I make them immediately is #1 on my list. - Qale Dec 28, 13:46 1
        
        I have a hard time with open world games. I need more linear games like Halo. Even Halo Infinite was stretching it for me. - sycor Dec 28, 13:49
Just sayin. But if a bunch of ghosts came by and showed me how to fix my shit all in one night, that would be cool. -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 28, 12:37

  - Is there another new one or is this the one from a few months back? -- nm - Spawn Dec 28, 12:51 2
    - Samesies. -- nm - Three Quark Baron Dec 28, 12:56 1

Setting up a new laptop means playing the password game, and the password game is the fucking worst. -- nm - David Dec 28, 12:25 7
- Get a password manager! -- nm - spamlet Dec 28, 15:05
- This year, I switched to using Apple’s built in password manager Keychain. I set up a shortcut icon and named it The Gibson. -- nm - Qale Dec 28, 12:42

  - I'm filling up a swear jar this afternoon. -- nm - David Dec 28, 12:38 2

  - Quadrophenia was their best, and final, album. -- nm - mud Dec 28, 12:28
WDW: Five rides have a posted wait of 3 hours or longer and the wait for Flight of Passage is more than 4.5 hours -- (link) - budice Dec 28, 12:19 24
- Vegas buffet lines on holidays can also be 4+ hours long -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 28, 13:46 4
  - it seems weird to me that Vegas would allow people to stand around in line for 4 hours and not be gambling -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Dec 28, 14:21 1
    - they do it because they can. -- nm - loosilu Dec 28, 14:26
  - I know Vegas buffets are better, but all I can picture is people waiting for hours to have Golden Corral. - sycor Dec 28, 13:56
  - Insane. I feel like I'm missing something with these wait times. - Krusty Dec 28, 13:52
- Parents are supposed to stand on a line with their kids for hours? I don't get it. -- nm* - Krusty Dec 28, 13:30
- “I spent $10,000 on gift cards for *this*?” -- nm - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Dec 28, 12:44
- 110 minutes for Dinosaur is insane - Jovian Dec 28, 12:25
- So, go there for 8 hours and get to ride on 2 rides while standing around the rest of the time? - decline Dec 28, 12:25 11
  - Agreed. There's no way you're getting your money's worth at these places. -- nm - Krusty Dec 28, 13:28 4
    - IIRC we never waited over an hour. And if it was over 20 minutes it was unusual. But we would be sure to go in October (IIRC), the week with the least - Spawn Dec 28, 13:31 3
      - I guess if you can go while everyone's in school and working it would be less crowded but waiting an hour for a ride that lasts - Krusty Dec 28, 13:39
      - October is the BEST time to go. 90% of my trips there have been in October. -- nm - Jovian Dec 28, 13:38 1
        
        Most people can't go on vacation in October. For parents, school just started. -- nm - Krusty Dec 28, 13:41
  - The time from about December 20th through January 2nd is the busiest of the year. -- nm - David Dec 28, 12:26 5

        And at $40 I was floored -- nm - budice Dec 28, 12:39
- How many hours is the park open each day and what is the cost of a ticket? (I wanna figure how much those people pay to wait 4.5+ hours.) -- nm - Spawn Dec 28, 12:23 2
  - 12 hours today. Posted wait times are typically inflated by about 20 percent to shift crowds from bottlenecked areas. -- nm - David Dec 28, 12:25 1
    - Knock it down to 3.5 hours and it is about 30% of the day. -- nm - Spawn Dec 28, 12:27
- Ah, that feeling of accomplishment when someone takes our reports... -- nm - David Dec 28, 12:22
Wow, Wander Franco has not shown up for testimony in the DR in his sex with a child investigation. - Will Hunting Dec 28, 12:17
You wanna be mad at where our tax dollars go? We have a rental where all utilities are included. It is rented through the Section 8 program, so the - Spawn Dec 28, 12:09 7
- I feel like the CAP agency was wrong on that, but they dont care so you cant really do anything. - tRuMaN Dec 28, 12:12 4
  - That crossed my mind. - Spawn Dec 28, 12:15 3
    - just add a fee, resorts do it -- nm - budice Dec 28, 12:16 2
      - see, that would be against HUD rules and the tenant could probably report Spawn for doing that. -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 28, 12:16 1
        
        The man is illegally sticking it to me! -- nm - Spawn Dec 28, 12:18
- Renter has a nice scam going -- nm - budice Dec 28, 12:10 1
  - Once in the system, it's surprisingly easy to game it if you have that mentality. - sycor Dec 28, 13:47

  - She was at her mother's house the next day, so it's possible she picked it up there. - Three Quark Baron Dec 28, 12:17
so Kevin Durant wants out of Phoenix now? jesus, between him, Kyrie and Harden it is hard to know who is the bigger diva asshole -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Dec 28, 11:38 5
- never shoulda left GS tbh -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 28, 13:57
- I hear about KD so so so much less than Harden and almost infinitely less than Kyrie -- nm - crash davis 😺 Dec 28, 12:18 1
  - Harden is your generic spoiled entitled athlete. Kyrie thinks he’s actually a thinker so he opens his mouth about shit he shouldn’t - Will Hunting Dec 28, 13:17
- Kyrie. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 12:16
- FWIW, he retty emphatically denied this one and implied Woj made shit up. -- nm - David Dec 28, 11:52

- oh god please let him name his son as his running mate. that'd be even better than naming Tucker Carlson. -- nm - Jovian Dec 28, 11:20 2
  - He's really like a mafia Don. -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 28, 11:23 1
    - 100%. which is also the reason why you hear Maga media always call it the Biden regime or the Biden crime family. -- nm - Jovian Dec 28, 11:26
