Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus

Except in this case it’s a political party instead of a tech company.

I’m not going to start smoking a pack a day and drinking a fifth if whiskey because I think it’ll keep me healthy tho.

If that’s all it takes then I’m as healthy as a person can be.

Why shouldn’t they be allowed cell phones, at least as a privilege? They shouldn’t be allowed to harass anyone, but they’re people. JPay and other predatory companies put an undue burden on families just trying to talk to their loved ones (who, let’s face it, may not be guilty) in the pen. There are even worse companies that pretend to be places where you can send money or put money on a phone card for a loved one but once you get to the fine print it’s just a scam. That dries up if you just allow folks the opportunity to talk to their family during their downtime.

But fuck them, I guess. People are in jail to be punished and if they don’t have the maximum amount of punishment 24x7 along with their families then we’re not really getting our money’s worth.

Or maybe he’s talking on a butt phone.

I can’t argue with that because honestly I was jealous of the folks running it. But they are buying new equipment today and I’m not.

Same. I have a lot of legacy recording equipment that I won’t replace until it stops working and it’s all mini USB.

I’m just glad I got what I did instead of FireWire.

Until the CIO gets the “telephone game” version of what’s going on.

I’m less concerned about that and more concerned about supervillains building lairs.

Some of us always look like shit.

Goddammit, you brilliant bastard.

is making me get the distro itchy foot.

They make a powder for that.

Yep. A bunch of police departments give out cable locks if you just ask. I bought one for $4 because I don’t want to go to the police department for any reason and I use it to lock my helmet to my motorcycle.

It’s not a perfect solution but it’s cheap and helpful.

The ad gets into your brain just like this liquid gets into this egg.

I need to train my grip strength to combat my alcohol misuse.

Black lotus, channel, fireball. That was the crazy meta abuse with a 1 turn kill. By the third turn you’d have to have a terrible draw in order to not win.

I thought, though I could be wrong because it was a thousand years ago, that the 4 card rule came between beta and unlimited, but it could have been unlimited and revised. I started with beta and it definitely wasn’t in effect then. Folks coming at you with a hand full of lotuses, dark rituals, moxes, and fireballs.

Theoretically, someone could have baked the sugar from lemonade onto their pipes by riding with a cup of it in a cup holder attached to an engine guard. Then hypothetically that person could have had great success removing it using Bike Brite, then taking 000 steel wool to it after the bulk was gone.

I’m not saying it happened, I’m saying you can’t prove it happened to me.

Yeah, Infinity hates it. I’ve still got a Firefox browser app pinned that works fine though.

You’re right, once. But adding that one time means I never have to see the launcher again. Clicking no means extra launch time and looking at it every time I launch the game.

But different strokes for different folks. If it’s not worth it to you then that’s cool. It was worth it for me and I thought I’d drop that for anyone else who may want it.

I was going to ask where the ad was, but I forgot that I turned off the launcher specifically because of that. I have no idea about PS but you can add the following on PC to skip the lau8

--skip-launcher

God wouldn’t let you get malware on his chosen OS.

That is exactly it. I’ve been middle class. I’ve been poor as fuck. My mental health much prefers middle class.
