  • “When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree.

    The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying, “You are too this, or I’m too this.” That judgment mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees, which means appreciating them just the way they are.”

  • IT WASNT A FILIBUSTER!

    God I am so sick of everyone going “Oooooh he had the longest filibuster in history!” Nothing was being voted on! He wasn’t preventing a vote. That fails the definition of a filibuster! I feel like I’m the only one calling that out! The man made a long speech, but it was pure performance.

    What’s shitty is that means Thurmond still holds the record, all because Booker was too chickenshit to make his speech during actual legislation.




  • Bethesda’s engine is wild because while it’s absolutely horrible in some places, it’s unparalleled in others. Item persistence is something they do better than anyone. Go into a house in Skyrim and drop 300 wheels of cheese then fuck off and go do something else. Come back and those 300 wheels of cheese will still be there, exactly where you left them. Now realize it’s doing that for EVERY item in the game. That’s crazy.

    On the other hand, you can’t climb ladders because their engine doesn’t know how to handle that.
