Reticently

I've watched an active volcano erupting, and hiked a tropical rainforest. Been to Europe a few times too. And without getting TMI, I've done all of the relationship and/or sex stuff I'd put on a bucket list at least once.

Sleepwalking Pikachu will fuck you up though.

It is, by far, the mildest shade that one could cast at my father, lol. Somebody on here once replied to one of my stories about him that he sounded more like a Grand Theft Auto character than a real person, and honestly that's pretty accurate. Plenty of stuff, really. But I guess what I'm trying to say is that the delta between bad pho and good pho is huge, and the best pho is at least in the conversation to be better than the best ramen.

So one of my dad's plethora of ex-wives was evacuated from the roof of the Saigon embassy as a kid back during the Vietnam war. Homemade pho by someone who knows what they're doing is fucking amazing.

What if he has a good team of lawyers though?

It's a mixed bag. If it wasn't Steam, someone else would be in that spot, and a LOT of big online platforms suck a lot more than Steam does. (Now, Stead did suck donkey balls for quality on launch.)

Nothing like logging in to your work email and noticing that you've been mistakenly copied on an email chain about putting in a bid to conduct research in eastern Europe on a genetically modified fecal transplant therapy.

Factually accurate statement though.

I had an ochem 2 course in college that graded like that, and the class average was still a D.

There are places where I'd drop $100 for a lunch, but that lunch is going to be better than any of the dinners I eat that month.

Glad you're through to the other side of things anyway. Somehow just one of my kids got that bad stomach flu. Shit was brutal though.

Maybe? I was mostly thinking in terms of the Disney princess discussion. In video games if a character is ugly, a lot of times it's just a game with ugly character graphics so I don't know how applicable it is. In Hollywood, most stuff with 'ugly stupid broke assholes' settling for each other is sitcom stuff aimed at adults. Pretty deep well for sitcoms now that I'm thinking about it.
