The internal protest is fascinating. Between this and the NBA thing, we are seeing a pretty strong reaction to corporate censorship.

Must be preparing for a career in politics.

Hey whatever motivates the defense, I suppose. Some guys need that chip on the shoulder to bring out the best, real or imagined. I've always thought it was pretty brilliant how Sherman plays up the heel role. I mean, a good CB is often judged by how afraid a QB is to throw in their direction. They can basically disappear during the game as long as they are also making the top receiver disappear. So Sherman always finds a way to insert himself into the game narrative, and that has kept him relevant longer than most.

I've been trying to play Ark, but it just feels like Conan Exiles without the cool story elements. I mean, dinosaurs are neat, but I also am getting killed a lot, and exploring seems more punishing than rewarding. I don't know, maybe I just need to get a better balance on the settings. I'd love it if I didn't drop all my stuff, and then march back to my corpse, only to be killed by the same thing because it is camping on my body.

This weekend my wife did her 2nd triathlon. It was part of a mermaid series that is mostly all women and is very friendly and less competitive, so it was a neat change of pace from some of the events I did this summer. She is still getting comfortable with the swim, and this one was around a pier in the ocean. I was able to walk along the pier as she swam, and it was pretty funny hearing her voice carry across the water as she talked to people while side stroking. I mean, conversational pace is a good goal to have when doing endurance sports, but typically the swim is pretty quiet. But she got it done and kicked butt on the rest of the race. 🏊‍♂️

The controls were difficult for me in RDR2. Trying to wave to someone typically turned into me shooting at them. I'm not sure if the mouse and keyboard will he though.

I actually was able to pre-load the game with my Microsoft Gamepass.

I think those consequences might be better suited in a civil case than a criminal one, though. Drunk driving is a heck of a lot different than shooting someone on your property.

Florida is a different place, man.

Queue the whining about it taking an exta month to arrive on Steam.

Seems strange to think Norway would criticize the US about not locking the guy up. Isn't the US typically criticized for the crazy amount of people we put away?

You just bought a solar food dryer. You might be the biggest environmentalist on this forum.

KFC's marketing department seems to have an unlimited budget and a willingness to try anything. Seems to be working for them.

Heh, depending on how the house looked, chicken might be back on the menu.

I've been actively avoiding most of the democrat front running convention, but I do have a sneaking feeling that Kamala Harris might be the most electable of the candidates. Let's face it, policy and track records have been out the window for awhile now. It is a straight up popularity contest, and neither Biden or Warren can fight the cult of personality that Trump has. Harris, on the other hand, is going to attract people based on race, gender, and then she has a decent amount of charm to get them to turn out to the polls. Just my gut instinct, but the party nomination is probably the hardest thing she has to win. I think she beats Trump.

Void Bastards is a heck of a lot of fun.

You have always had the option to buy it from Microsoft.

He can still pull it off.

Poor guy.

Well, the left is also very artsy, so seems like a pretty silly post by Skarpie.

We went over the auditing process last cycle. This is repetitive.

Hopping over a fence and voting is something that doesn't exist. At least, not in any statistically relevant way. It's just a popular narrative tool for political parties to use. "Outsiders are coming in and stealing elections!" 🙄

Why would she make that choice?

I decided to try the Microsoft Xbox Gamepass for PC Beta Upsilon, or whatever it is called. I mean, it is a buck, and 5 bucks after that, so not a big investment. It did take awhile to update Windows 10, but it ran pretty smoothly and has a nice mix of games to try. I downloaded Void Bastards, Forza Horizon, Vampyr, and Sea of Thieves, so I'll be dabbling in those over the next couple weeks. I was mostly seeing if this would be a good way to play Outer Worlds, and it seems to be. Everything is running well on my somewhat old laptop.

Hey, Florida is a lot cheaper to live in than Oakland.
