Power is addictive, but its addictive properties are interesting because it becomes “normal”.

It’d be like every girl you’ve ever dated has H cups, and then you go out on a date with a girl with E cups and you’re like, “wow, she’s got small boobs”, when really her boobs are large, you’re just so accustomed to H cups that anything smaller seems small.

I would do practically anything that isn’t evil for magic, so worth it in my book.

I’ll go with the “I have a skill that everyone thinks is useless, but it’s actually the most OP skill ever because I’m so smart in how I use it” trope.

Like, my skill is material molding. Most people use it to make nails or to be a production worker of some type, making wheels for carts and the like, but since I know about the modern world, I’ll be making record players and computers and cell phones and solar panels.

Generic isekai with magic. Should be fun

I saw $6.79 a gallon for regular being advertised on a sign by the highway.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Thank God for Costco.

$5.10 a gallon for premium and 5% cash back because I have their credit card.

The ones that don’t primarily use English simply because I can’t understand what they’re talking about, and even if I could, it’s usually about the issues in another country that I can’t do anything about, so my input is useless.

I was redoing the roof on my house, and I had some family over helping me do that.

For context, I live in a geodesic dome home, and so it’s not as simple as scrape off old roof, slap on new roof, you also have to account for the angles of the hundreds of triangles that comprise the roof.

Further, instead of using a cedar shake, which was what was already on there, I decided to use an aluminum shake. The main reason was cost. Cedar shake was going to cost about $10 a square foot, whereas aluminum shake only cost me about $1 a square foot.

Even though my home is 2600 square foot and in a normal flat roof house that would mean you would have somewhere between 2600 and 3000 square foot to cover, because it’s a dome, it curves, you have a lot more wastage and so I was looking at buying about 4000 square foot of shake.

Going aluminum extended the lifespan of the roof from a 25 year to a 50 year, which is nice, and also cut $30,000 out of the cost.

However…

Once we got the old roof off, my family members decided that they didn’t want to do this anymore, and they left.

So I had to, all of a sudden, call around and find someone else to help me install the roof.

You remember that $30,000 I saved buying aluminum shake instead of cedar shake?

That’s what it cost for me to get the aluminum shake installed after the old roof had been peeled off, not counting what I paid my family members for the help that they did provide in the interim.

I have a hunch that there’s something fucky with passkeys, and it’s gonna turn out to be a security and or privacy nightmare in the near future.

Surquedrous? It’s the adjective form of Surquedry, which is overweening pride or arrogance.

You would have to fuck you yourself to make me fuck you myself.

It’s also really annoying because even if you do make your own website, like unless you do something that draws attention on some other, more populated website, pretty much no one’s ever gonna find you.

Even worse, you’re making us exist against our will.

Fuck you.

Jesus Christ.

In general, I am against capital punishment, but if we took every perp in the logbooks and lined them up and shot them all in the back of the head, I would not shed a single tear over it.

I would take care of the hoes and then go see the bros.

Unless she’s been withholding sex as a manipulation tactic, in which case the ho got to go.

Okay, I don’t know if you’ve gone beyond the pale here, or if there is some suspicion that the Epstein crew might have dissolved 13-year-old girls in barrels of acid.

The best answer I can think of is it depends, and it’s always on a case-by-case person-by-person basis.

It’s like finding out that a famous painter whose art you really like did a murder suicide.

In some cases, that could actually add to the allure, even though it’s horrible.

But in the case of a musician that used their musical career to coax underage girls into performing sex acts for them, like the singers of the Lost Prophets, it’s a lot harder to separate the art from the artist.

oh yeah, if you come out of this whole event cycle, whatever the hell it is as normal, then something’s wrong with you, lol

I am a somewhat empathetic person.

I was raised in a family of people that had no empathy.

My grandmother met all of the criteria to be labeled as a sociopath, psychopath, something, and she raised her kids accordingly.

So when I was a kid, like my little sister would grab my arm and rake her nails down my arm to just grate as much skin off as she could because she was upset over something.

And I would complain, and I would be told that maybe I shouldn’t have upset her.

And also being a kid, sometimes I would cry.

And my grandmother came to me and was like, you’re bigger than her, why don’t you just do something about this?, implying that I should physically beat my younger sister up.

And I said, I do do something about it. I cry.

She thought that was hilarious. She told that story as a joke any time I was brought up for the rest of her life.

To me, when I see someone else crying because of something I did, that causes me emotional pain because I’m normal.

So I was attempting to cause emotional pain, not on purpose, but because I was actually hurt, as punishment for the action that my psychopath sister, who was raised by my psychopath mother, who was raised by my psychopath grandmother, had taken.

But the concept of feeling emotional pain as the consequence of your action choosing to hurt another person is and was so alien to the people in my family that it being explained to them comes across as humor.

Needless to say, I don’t associate with my family anymore. I have not talked to any person that I am blood related to in four months, and even that was just a quick text.

People say I’m weird. Okay, I was raised by a very weird family in very weird circumstances, doing my best to be sane and normal in a weird situation.

It’s very much the same for being woke when opening your eyes to be woke today is like eating lunch in a room full of dead bodies.

Given the fact that they can already do this level of sorcery, do you really want to piss them off by burning the towels they have so meticulously levitated?

Probably why most Isekai anime and manga tend to land people in an equivalent of about the 1500s. Like it would be really weird if they were the only person who knew how to read other than the clergy and they only knew how to read Japanese.
