The best way to see them all for free is annualcreditreport.com. It’s jointly operated by Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion to comply with some federal law that says they each have to give you a free report every year. You only get one of each annually, so if you want to keep tabs on your credit more frequently you can get one now from Experian, wait four months, get one from Equifax, wait four months, get one from TransUnion and repeat.
To be clear, this is the app you’d use on a macbook or imac or whatever they call their desktop computers these days. It’s not the app for iphone or ipad
To me, Biden seemed certain to lose, while with Kamala it could go either way. In no way is she a worse candidate than Biden. I think we should all be deeply invested in Kamala winning the election. Not because I want to see Trump lose, though I do. Not because I want to see Kamala win, which I don’t really. What I want, what I think we all want, is to see Hillary Clinton looking on as another woman becomes the first woman president. Not just that, I want to see Kamala win easily, just to make it clear to Hillary that she, personally, was the problem in 2016. No one thinks Kamala is an impressive candidate, so if her mediocre ass beats Trump with a comfortable margin, it’ll more or less settle the argument as to who was responsible for Trump’s victory.
To be clear, I haven’t lost sight of the fact that a Harris presidency would basically just be the Biden presidency with more awkward laughter. We’re not going to get a good president this time around, or maybe ever. I’m aware that I’m doing something similar to the republican rank-and-file who know their candidates won’t do anything to help them, but will at least make the people they don’t like suffer. We should all be protesting, agitating, and organizing for something better, but with the understanding that organizing is almost certainly not getting us a better candidate this cycle, let’s try and find joy where we can. In this case, in schadenfreude.
and here I was thinking the joke was to give them literal maids or maidens or something
he apparently posted this from the hospital after a seizure, according to his wife

sorry for the twitter link i don’t know how to use the alternatives
I mean, he’s right. We just let them do it. If he’d like us to take matters into our own hands I’m sure we can oblige.
I love that I put on a white noise video to help me sleep and now my feed is 80% white noise videos
People should write their info on paper more often. Meet someone on the train, have nice conversation, “this is my stop, here’s my number/insta/tiktok/whateverthekidsusethesedays, hmu if you’d like to continue this over drinks” and leave it at that. It’ll be clear you’ve asked them out, but they don’t have to decide in the moment, they don’t have to reject you to your face, and they don’t have to give you any personal info. You leave them in a position where they only need to take action if they’re interested in talking to you again, and they don’t have to expend any additional energy on you if they’re not interested.
never thought there would be video of this omg thank you so much 
If someone asks for help and you’re in a position to help, you help them.
It’s especially weird that companies are still like this after seeing the success of a game like Baldurs Gate 3. The runaway hit of the year, and biggest earner on Steam, doesn’t even implement the basic Steam DRM. I tried it. The game launches and runs just fine when Steam isn’t running at all. It’s so messed up how capitalism leads to that (providing good products at fair prices and respecting your audience) being seen as an “unsustainable business model.”
Cole Escola was also in Search Party. He was The Twink who kidnaps Dory in whichever season it was where she got kidnapped. Who wants to talk about what an extremely fun and deeply flawed show Search Party is?
Half-Life: Alyx is the game that shows us just how incredible vr can be. And it’s the game that ruins you for all other vr games because nothing else is anywhere near as good.
Since you mentioned Myst, Cyan published a vr game called The Last Clockwinder. It’s a cozy little game where you solve puzzles using automatons that repeat your own recorded actions. So for example, you record yourself picking up an object and dropping it in a bucket, and then a robot repeats the same actions over and over. Before long you’re creating assembly lines of robots that are all interacting with each other, and are all recordings of you. It’s easier to understand from watching a trailer. Anyway, it has a cute solarpunk(?) aesthetic, some nice casual queerness, and the kind of corny, earnest performances I remember from the Myst games. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1755100/The_Last_Clockwinder/
Beat Saber is an obvious good option, but before you spend any money on song packs, check out a site like BEATSAVER. Beat Saber can be modded and there are custom song managers you can use, but you don’t have to bother with all that if you really don’t want to. Downloading the zip file from beatsaver and dropping it into beat saber directory is enough (assuming the custom song didn’t require any mods, some of them do). There are so many good songs on there that rival anything officially released.
Also Blade and Sorcery. It’s rough around the edges, but the implementation of magic is pretty great. Hurling fireballs, using telekinesis to pick up and throw weapons, objects, and enemies, holding a ball of electricity in one hand and using it to imbue the sword you’re holding in your other hand, it’s all very fun. Even if it does make me more motion-sick than just about anything I’ve played in vr.
Fully expecting this to be yet another Rockstar Special, i.e. a technical marvel rendering a painstakingly crafted world, full of boring gameplay, underdeveloped systems, and dull, unlikable characters.
someone already said to my boss “oh they’re getting us all in a room so we’re fish in a barrel?”
I’m having fun with friends online, jeez
this is my favorite suggestion so far 
good to know, I realize now it’s been quite a few years since I’ve used it and I didn’t know that
