That was the one action I took on Twitter after creating an account before my account got banned.

I needed to create an account to check a local source for updates. So I did. I also decided to look around on Twitter to see what I was “missing”. Saw a bunch of Musk stuff and instantly knew I didn’t want to see any of it. So I blocked him.

In a few weeks, when I clicked a Twitter link, it said my account had been banned for suspicious activity. It had a secure password and this was its second log-in ever (no posts, comments, reactions, etc).

Oh, wow. This comment just made me wonder if Shirley is a female bastardization of Charles through Charlie…

It’s probably not, but I could see it being the case

Some people never see their parents as trusted authorities, but the laws still treat them as if they are

In many places, the victim being 16 wouldn’t be the problem. It’d be the abuse of trusted authority that the perpetrator has over the victim.

Hmm…if the price of retro games lowers, I’ll be more likely to get good deals…

But I’ll be in a worse position if I ever need to sell parts of my existing collection…

WTF? lol

I thought this saying Son of Trump suspect as if there was some sort of criminal cult called Son of Trump, and the individual in question was suspected of being “Son of Trump” or otherwise involved in it.

Yeah, this headline is atrocious, lol

Is changing the one chip enough to count it as separate hardware to test?

Not to mention that different cooling capabilities could result in different performance, too.

I can’t imagine trying to play FO2 like an FPS, in that case…lol

FO2 is closer to a tactical RPG/SRPG, isn’t it? Isometric perspective and all?

growing up i just wanted a normal ass name.

Now, as an adult, you can name your ass whatever you want!

I like Launchbox, but the entries are generally built around having a, uh…“digital collection”.

But I like it because you don’t have to worry about GameFAQs shutting down or changing what they offer. Launchbox is a desktop app (and a more-limited mobile app) that allows you to save your collection’s metadata locally. Then just back it up to the cloud from there!

It also supports Steam and other digital storefronts.

Check it out! It’s completely free, and optionally upgradeable with either a subscription or a lifetime purchase. Completely usable for free though.

Being funny is engaging in conversation though.

Here’s an actual bot answer:

Those plastic covers for electrical plugs are typically used to protect the plug prongs when they’re not in use. They help prevent the prongs from getting bent, damaged, or exposed to dirt and debris. Plus, they can minimize the risk of accidentally touching the prongs and getting a static shock.

And here’s a joke that I asked ChatGPT to make:

Ah, those little plastic mysteries—probably just trying to keep the plugs warm in the winter!

Or learn to hide better.

Or pick up boxing.

No, loud volumes are one of the things I mentioned explicitly that cause pain inherently.

You should be using hearing protection when using loud tools or attending concerts.

There are so many kinds of difficulty that this is hard to answer.

There’s fake difficulty, where the game is just being cheap. Some games are hard because their mechanics or controls are just janky.

Some games are easy to lock yourself out of the ending and not know it. Try the game from the start again!

There’s genuinely difficult games, but any time a game is difficult in a “fair” sense, there are people on the internet who’ll beat it with a guitar controller, or blindfolded, or without any power ups.

If you want a game that not many people could beat…I don’t think many people could beat Bokosuka Wars today…

The Stampede?

I hardly ever beat Level 2…aka. the platformer version of “I Just Can’t Wait To Be King”.

And Level 3 has some annoyingly tough jumps too. I think The Stampede is level 4?

The only way most of us ever played the second half of the game is level select…

For anyone looking to play Super Mario Sunshine and wants to consider 100%, there’s “Blue Coin Tracker”.

Not only can you check off what you’ve found, but it’s got screenshots, descriptions, and strategies to help you find it. Even links to YouTube clips if you’re still stuck!

It’s invaluable. The blue coins are pretty evil in that game.

This reminds me of the YouTube channel Tasting History with Max Miller.

Thanks for sharing!

It’s generally not, though certain types of stimuli can cause pain through their own merit either directly or indirectly.

Bright lights that cause prolonged squinting, loud sounds (obviously), etc.

I recently learned that touch can also cause pain. Like just general touching that results in overstimulation that feels like pain. That’s not common.

I imagine it’s kind of overloading the tickle and itchy pathways or something, which feels painful?..

In Canada, our conservatives are more like “Let’s see what we can privatize. Highways, healthcare, utilities…cut funding for schools and other things, but write cheques to the population every once in a while so they’ll like us”.
