Wow I got mail from VP Harris! Wonder which letter it's in response to (and how inflammatory I was)?

@zeldatra Mine turned out to be pretty much a form letter, probably the same text I'd have gotten from an e-mail

Next clone was struck by lightning almost immediately upon arriving home. Didn’t die, but they definitely have some kind of hidden “unlucky” flag or something that’s causing this.

@zeldatra I made a spellcaster Zelda Hylia for laughs (and because I'd been obsessing with HW:AOC again) and she evidently really likes the clone spell. Now there's an Iliana and a Ciera and like 2 or 3 others walking around town, with wildly different behaviors. I first found out when I thought I had caught the princess skinny-dipping in the hot tub and saw that she had changed her name :p

@scribus there are three different clones of my main sim wandering around town right now (not counting the dead one, RIP Francis) because it’s a shockingly common work goal at the top level of the scientist career and I am slightly concerned that the neighborhood will be overrun as caring for all of them is a chore and I’ve basically been moving them into the family bin one by one and marking them as “unplayed” so that their AI will try and ingratiate them into the neighborhood storytelling feature.

Semi-official documentation on some of these features for the older expansions is shockingly sparse and in some cases even incorrect (outdated, maybe) which isn't helping

Today in The Sims 4: Cloned myself. Twice. First clone was evil (ie a bit of a prick) so I abandoned him on the street. Second clone was a perfect copy, but he died in a freak accident literal hours after being created. I think I shouldn’t clone myself anymore.

@scribus meant, then forgot, to do some research on whether or not clones have hidden flags that make them more susceptible to deadly game events, because he died an emotion-related death which i was fairly certain up until that point was nearly impossible unless you were intentionally trying to cause it.

To the people who were honking at me on the road for driving that moving van to slow: I’m sorry, i agree with you, it was my first time, I didn’t want to be there either

Like it is impossible for anyone with an internet connection to go into that trial impartially.

@scribus I was talking with a friend last night, like, there’s no way this person gets a fair trial from anyone under the age of 40, right? Jury selection’s gonna be rough.

metro station is a 25 minute walk from my store, so I guess now I have to weigh whether or not saving on gas is worth ~exercise~.

I drive past the NRA headquarters every day on my way to work (yes, they are a DC company…) and, like, not that I think anyone should do it, but how funny would it be if that place got shot up? Like that’d at least be a little funny, right?

@zeldatra Giving guns to fetuses might be funnier. They probably have a right to bear arms and form a well-organized militia in some states (by their respective child-bearing mothers).

In the days after the 2020 election and leading up to Biden’s inauguration I would make a daily visit to r/TheDonald because the apple they would say re:Here’s How Trump Can Still Win etc. were so outlandishly desperate and hilarious to read, and after four years of seeing that asmango on the news every day it was really cathartic, and one big thing I noticed was people calling for a Capitol raid in the days leading up to 1/6, and then when it happened for real nearly every single one got up on there and was like “antifa, the FBI did it, it was a false flag” and the few people who didn’t get the memo and celebrated the violence were “outed” as FBI plants. Because the FBI cares THAT much about making a subreddit of blowhard Potato Knishess look bad.

I am so Potato Knishesing glad Trump supporters are so goddamn dumb. Guy attacks an FBI field office in Ohio, and his grand master plan to get through the bullet proof glass is to use… a nail gun. I mean hey, it says “bullet proof”, not “nail proof”.
Friday, 12-Aug-22 15:42:46 UTC from web-
@zeldatra Hahaha. Oh wow. The same logic can be applied to this: A bullet-proof vest is not knife-proof. Good old chain mail is https://i.redd.it/wniq0txjswg91.jpg

@zeldatra I'm quite fond of the supporters who rile up the internet and call for violence, and then denounce it as "no true Trump supporter" when it happens

@scribus nothing better than a guy calling for actual violence in the streets, then when someone goes and does it he’s like “that’s an FBI plant bro”

The best play is to have neither a real nor a fake girlfriend. More money for comics and action figures!

@scribus This is true, I did have to pay my girlfriend at first. I mean, this was before we dated, and also she ran a cash register in my store at the time, but like, that’s just a couple of degrees away.
