Which is the delusion that the US's traffic engineers based all of their decisions on 60 years ago.

This is consistent with my experience. I didn't have a paralysis demon, but I was convinced my ceiling fan was plotting to kill me. Not that it was going to fall and hurt but that it was scheming to have me assassinated and would take matters into its own hands if necessary.

An acquaintance of mine was cursed with bestanal@uni.edu because his first and middle initials were B.E.

Materialistic is absolutely how I feel when an object is sold for multiple years of my income.

PBS is actually better than ever and I prefer it over most of what gets shoved in my face on my PC.

Performing work to the specification of compensation while respecting my free time. Astounding that doing my job is somehow analogous to quitting if I'm not providing even more unpaid benefit to my employer by one or more metrics.

True to the spirit of cognitive behavioral therapy, therapists in my limited experience seem to be able to perform their job rather well while leading relatively unhinged lives.

One of the last phones designed for a human hand. Hope this comes to a good resolution.

That's something I couldn't quite put my finger on. The movie isn't overtly meta but it has a meta feeling about it. Like at times you can begin to profile the "players" of these characters. Really captured the spirit of a lighthearted evening session complete with a seasoned DM (even though there is no DM character in the movie) that makes you feel your own feelings when you might have least expected it.

It's infuriating to me that only Steam and EA's stores have gifting built in. Most of my games budget goes to buying small-squad multiplayer games like Deep Rock Galactic and Sea of Thieves for people.

Sure you can buy a key anywhere but I love seeing at a glance that an acquaintance has a particular DLC or game to surprise them rather than asking them first. And then there's a small chance they thank you for the key and pass it on to someone else instead of just telling you they don't like game, while Steam has a handy decline button.

Odd to me why he was vaguely supportive in his first speech regarding the UAW strikes when he crushed the rail workers without so much as the barest amount of hand wringing.
