@scribus was really looking forward to hearing the doctor talk like an actor whose entire understanding of mental disability comes from very special episodes of the 1980s

@scribus this is an interesting read! Sims 2 fortunately though has a large modding community at modthesims.info (as well as elsewhere for people looking for more, ah, substantive content) so the lost media don’t bug me as much

@scribus Like Elon Musk purchasing Twitter and Facebook going meta, I fail to see what Web 3.0 has to offer me, the content creator. As soon as somebody can tell me how MY life changes, that’s when I’ll start caring.

@scribus I’ve been known to subtly waste a phone scammer’s time at my place of work, to the point that some of them, if I pick up and they recognize my voice, they’ll immediately hang up.
-
@scribus Well, not so similar in the end... Turns out he didn't need any stitches. It was just a really, really gnarly scrape! No exposed bone!! :D

@scribus My bad. I don't want to put poutine's name in vain. I just looked up how it is pronounced https://translate.google.com/?sl=auto&tl=de&text=%D0%9F%D1%83%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BD&op=translate It appears to sound more like "poot yen"

@scribus the big disincentive to using Australia now, besides the emu uprising, is that it ruins a joke in Swole Foods. One script has a borderline senile old man recounting a battle he fought in Australia; with his senility being the joke. But then a script that’s placed later in the timeline has a character who works for the government mention the same event, making it more credible; a third script then finally reveals that in this universe, NATO fought an atomic war against Australia. I might just generically say “a country in the East” or something like that instead.

@scribus I believe that I'll be quite unhappy with a phone from a niche manufacturer. TCL's Blackberry phones are the minimum quality I expect and that one does not fill me with confidence. Also I don't want a fold-out keyboard. At max I can live with a slider style or whatever the HTC Desire Z was.

@scribus Haha. Are you using an external display for a video camera? It is surely a great help keeping oneself in the shot when no cameraman is available.

@scribus You can envy those people who "borrowed" a monitor, forgot to put the note into the inventory system, and then left the company (quite some time after) without bringing the hardware back. *sigh*
-
@scribus the way I see it - since *my* universe is usually grounded pretty firmly in reality, starting with some really crazy grape off the bat means nothing’s off the table. Futurama’s first season goes from 1999 New York to literally the edge of the universe, so for the entire rest of the show they could go literally anywhere in between.
-
@scribus it’s probably helped by the fact that I’m planning to do a couple of over-the-top high concept episodes right off the bat so people don’t start telling me I’ve jumped the shark after I do something really out there. “Kat’s new co-worker is a neo-Nazi” is waaaay less over-the-top than “Kat accidentally joins a mafia family after volunteering at an old folks’ home”.

@scribus Oh yeah. The USA is not very bike friendly from all the videos I've seen. I'd be terrified to cycle there and would do only that on the sidewalks if at all. To protect my bike from the elements and thieves I always put it back into the cellar. It takes a few minutes to put it in and out but at least it'll last a bit longer. A neighbor has a steel frame bike and it has developed an even rust coating.

@scribus could tell the guy was getting paid extra to push a particular brand too… he showed me the most expensive one first and was like “this one’s good for snow”, then showed me a seemingly identical one from another brand and was like “this one’s ok too, I guess… it’s made for all weather conditions… but it’s really not as good, I wouldn’t even bother”
-
@scribus modding the sims 4 is so overly complicated too because you need to update them about as often as the game updates which is often
-
@scribus funny thing about that: our fresh truck came in finally and the dry shelves have been fully stocked for weeks, no idea where the media is getting those photos of bare shelves in the DC area

@scribus <sarcasm>It's "everycreature" now because "everypony" is excluding all the other species.</sarcasm>

@scribus I’m pretty sure most of the Englishmen from here would murder me if they ever saw my face.
-
@scribus Employee, he pushes carts and sometimes runs registers. Well, soon to be former employee after tonight.
-
@scribus I have not. I've tried some variants like OJ with vodka. At this point I just give up.
-
@scribus It's only over after "The Sneeze Strikes Back" and "The Return of the Fauchi"

@scribus I may or may not have had COVID over Christmas, couldn’t get tested though because no appointments were open. Whatever I did have is gone now so I guess it’s moot now, but I’m one of the only people at work who didn’t get a booster shot and the other one who didn’t was out sick before and after me, so it’s an easy conclusion to come to.
-
@scribus I am actually, no joke, getting accusations of racism thrown at me because I think Disney’s movies are all stylistically samey now, which really says a lot at how starved for representation we, as Latinos, are, that we feel obligated to FrankerZiate a less than perfect film with Latinos in it because we think it’s the best we’re ever gonna get.

@scribus I have the Steam version of The Sims 3 with all the expansions that didn’t require Origin. Ben a while since I’ve played it though so I dunno if they changed the requirements.
