So screening phone calls is back again.

I believe in the Buddhist concept of “right livelihood”–one should not make their living to the detriment of others.

Horror is written off by most people completely, but it has a long history of social commentary. It’s not all mindless gore and ghosts.

I was wondering what Aziz Ansari is up to just a couple of days ago. Master of None was fantastic.

Collection agencies? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. That is not a job for good people.

Gotcha. It’s doable, yeah. I can’t recommend a specific product for getting the stain out, but you would probably want to use some cheap powder washing detergent. Dawn soap would probably work. That stuff seems to work for anything.

No, not if you’re only doing it once. I’d still just run it through the wash with whatever I happen to have dirty. It would be more water efficient.

I hand washed my laundry for a couple of months at one point. You will be surprised at how difficult it is to get soap out. It’s not worth it if you have any other option.

All but two of them.

I’m definitely old since, to me, “vintage” automatically means cartridge games.

Alamo is great but not present in most of the country.

Too bad AMC sucks. The one by me doesn’t even have the comfy modern seating that Regal has had for ages.

Duck

Yes, it does. Fresh mountain spring water is very cool and refreshing. Some of it even runs down from glaciers and is nearly ice cold.

Moral panic is unrelated to games having addictive elements.

A better comparison would be how retro games would be designed for you to die/lose over and over because they were based on arcade dynamics, where the customer has to keep putting in quarters to continue playing.

So, stuff you made up.

Orangutans

Don’t Starve Together. Fatal flaw: it’s too hard for most people to want to play, and you have to play it repeatedly to get any good at it.

I would say that most retro games can be enjoyed by a 5-year-old (having once upon a time been a 5-year-old playing some of them myself), but the first one that comes to mind is Donkey Kong Country.

There’s also a legs-only version of something similar coming out eventually. Very exciting stuff! I put in my deposit as soon as I read about them.
