Some say he naturally faces magnetic north and that all of his legs are hydraulic.

Recently got back into FFXIV when I saw that the free trial now goes through Shadowbringers (which was the expansion released shortly before I stopped playing when we cut back expenses way back when). Since S-E doesn’t let you play the trial with an existing account I just created a new one to re-experience the MSQ. Which is fine given I barely started Heavensward.

I love the catch-up mechanics of leveling new jobs - after only 2h I leveled an arcanist into the 20s to catch up near my monk!

Just received word that a job/promotion I’ve been angling for since September has finally been approved to open. Could use all of the good thoughts my way since it would be an awesome opportunity. As a bonus it could resolve quickly since the org is part of a pilot program to quickly regain core competencies lost during the DeRP.
Nothing set in stone since it must be competed…but the people in the new place want me, I want to go there, we just need to let the process play out.

The year is 2001. I have spent the morning playing the new Diablo II expansion.

Recent discussion about the perils of doors in gamedev reminded me of a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2". Are you sitting comfortably? Then I shall begin.
Gotta love looking at the earnings and leave statement for what should be payday and seeing a big “$0” there #shutdown
I'd just like to remind everyone that each week approximately 23% of Americans take acetaminophen, so if it really caused autism, we'd have a way more functional train system in this country.

Yes, It Is Just Like The Nazis
Hey so remember Anne Frank? The Jewish young girl who hid in an attic and was killed by the Nazis? The emblematic person we think of when we think of victims of the Holocaust?

She did not die in a gas chamber or in a death camp. She died in a temporary' detention center for the mass deportations which preceded the death camps.
She was in that camp because a patriotic neighbor ratted her out to the German deportation force. She died, not of a bullet to the back of the head or choking on gas, but of typhus. She contracted typhus because the Nazis couldn't realistically deport people at the rate they wanted to, because before the death camps their infrastructure couldn't handle the sudden influx of ethnic minorities they had decided to imprison, and because they didn't care about the consequences of that so their deportation detention centers were unhygienic and prisoners were underfed and overcrowded.

And she was picked up by the deportation force not because she was an illegal citizen but because, just like the US is doing with asylum seekers, she was part of a formerly recognized class of citizens who were legally redefined to lack citizenship by a new administration.

Anne Frank is exactly like the children who have already died in the United State's detention camps. Exactly. Down to the very last detail. There. Is. Not. A.
Single. Difference.

So unless you want to fucking tell me that Anne goddamn Frank was not a victim of the Holocaust, y'all can shut the fuck up with that "stop making concentration camp comparisons, you're diminishing the suffering of the Holocaust" bullshit.

Its also worth noting that her family TRIED to flee to the US and was denied. She was in that camp partly because the US refused to let her refugee family immigrate.

If only someone on the thread had called Todd…#SignalGate
