I bought my first flash drive on sale for $12, a whopping 512mb. Fuck if I knew what to do with it at the time but I liked that I could carry cool pics and links to my favorite flash games with me. It wasn’t long after that I got my second, 2. fucking. gigs. Brought the entirety of Diablo 2 and a few Pokemon ROMs home from my uncle on that bad boy. Used it to put XBMC on an original Xbox. Got into Pirate video thanks to that thing. Still have it to this day, think it still has my d&d 3.5 collection on it.

The one I miss most though, tasteful little orange steel swing design. Wore it at all times as a necklace because it had this minimalist jewelry vibe. I had a live Ubuntu boot and ftp client on it, filled the whole drive, but I could boot into that instead of most computers and remote home to access my computer. Blew a lot of minds in highschool with that. Accidentally left it plugged into a computer on the last day before graduation and never got a chance to go back for it. I’d kill for 128gb or higher with that same external design, but you can’t find them from reputable places these days.

You’re in a safe space, my perfect deck is a partners Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist and Bjorna, Nightfall Alchemist running an izzet Rube Goldberg of edge case artifacts with obscure rules that build 4-8 piece combo engines that only sometimes win the game after I twiddle a bunch of cards.

My follow up and less messy deck is Alesha, Who Smiles at Death with a toys theme from duskmourn. I want to do alters for all the cards so the legends look like creepy children and everything else looks like toys.

If I had the chops to actually write a full story, I’d gladly send it your way.

I find these thought experiments important for understanding one’s self. Personally it’s on sight with anything that looks too much like me, I’m not going to humour a Doppelganger’s attempts to replace me. Cursed objects on the other hand, that’s like catnip for me. Haunted doll? It’s mine. Cursed puzzle box? You bet. Book bound in human skin and inked in blood? That’s going right on the coffee table. I will ship of Theseus haunted houses until I find every part that contains ghost and then use all of that to build a new 100% haunted house.

They’re intended to be body conforming but they aren’t any tighter than any other underwear unless you’re wearing the wrong size.

There won’t be much if any space between the junk and the tights, it just changes where the waist seam will fall. Think of it like this, from the mid point of the crotch on the leggings to the waist line is designed to fit flush to the body from the pelvic bone to the hips. For us dudes, the gear hangs below the pelvic bone, so the tights will ride lower and the waist band won’t reach as high. Personally, if I don’t use high waisted tights the waistline doesn’t reach the peak of my butt and will instead roll down as I go about the day until it feels like I’m walking around with my pants up and my underwear down. With high waist, they’re supposed to be up to the navel but as a guy the band is about an inch above the waist of my jeans.

Long and short of it, your bits will still make contact with the tights, but it’s the difference between having your ass half out or fully covered.

Not for naught, but they do make mens tights and leggings for theatre or as underwear that have a proper crotch. I personally don’t like them because they aren’t as nice material and I’m in an uncomfortable middle ground between mens large and medium that makes everything either just too big or just too small. Also that’s not helpful if you’re buying for aesthetics instead of utility.

This is pretty good as a joke, but imagine this as a horror story. Here you are hiking a notoriously remote and dangerous mountainside and you come around a bend to find a man casually waiting in your path. Dressed for the office, carrying an umbrella, wholly unequipped for this location but looking for all the world like he just showered, shaved, dressed, and walked to the bus stop on the corner. This clothes, his posture, his expression say nothing of the week long hike it took you to get here, he smells of freshly applied cologne. He glances at you with the benal expression of the Thursday office grind, too early to be excited about Friday, to late to really care about the events of the week, and steps slightly to the side and back as if making space to form a queue as he waits. If he recognizes you, he makes no expression of it, nor does he react to the look of terror you fail to hide when you see he is identical to you, not in the way that a mirror image is, but in that slightly wrong way that forward facing cameras flip the image.

Do you pass him, daring to get close enough to do so? Do you turn around and risk putting your back to this thing? Do you join yourself in queue? No answer truely seems appropriate.

How does one set this up? I could use a side hustle.

As far as etiquette at the store, I can’t help because I get mine online, but I have some pro tips for finding the right ones!

If you have a lady friend with a similar body type to you, ask what size she wears. Even if she’s propositionally smaller or larger than you, you should be able to scale the info to your size.

Get proper measurements. Crotch to ankle on the inside of the leg, around the thigh, and around the waist above the hips and on the hips. Knowing these, you can literally just measure the fit if not order them on measures.

Look for high waisted tights. Ladies don’t have the extra hardware between the legs so the inseam can go all the way up, guys normally need 2-5in free space. Unless you’re planning on tucking constantly, getting high waisted means they aren’t halfway off your butt all day.

It helps to shave your legs while you’re getting used to them. The hairs can get tangled, pulled and itchy for a while when you’re first getting used to them.

I use mine as lining for pants during winter, if that’s your plan, go for a shiny, less cottony fabric. The synthetics don’t pill as easily and don’t have as much friction when pulling on jeans. Also, aim for less than more. You may think you want those fur lined flanel tights, but under other pants, those are going to have you cooking like a goose. They’re made to replace pants so pretend they’re a whole layer on their own.

For sure, but even mean cats can get along with people. It’s more about respecting and understanding then. That’s why people use them as that test, if they can respect the asshole cat’s feelings then you know they’ll respect yours.

The only personality test I will accept is your ideal Magic: The Gathering EDH deck and commander.

Nothing exposes someone’s whole soul like that does.

Love that one!

Oh shit! Sending that to the spouse ASAP, she’s the one that introduced me.

That’s fucked. Guess I’ll be removing that from my roster.

Is there any less skummy online pay option? I like not having to use my card.

At about the hour mark it would still play the second half of the music but the first half sounded like a broken vcr trying to rewind. The voice was mostly just moaning but like, when an old voice to text trys to read “ooooooooohhhh” as O, O, O, O, oo, O, O, oh, heavy sight, “letter H”.

Oh dang, I didn’t learn about aldi until well after covid so I can only imagine how cheap everything used to be!

I can’t get the butterfly, it’s too quick, but here’s the little wiggler!

Hey, the playstation modding scene has been booming lately, if you’re on ps4 or some updates for ps5, there’s a really easy way to get it all back and then some for about 20min of tutorial time. Go turn off auto updates if you’re on ps5, that way you can wait for the mods to catch up with your version if you’re outside the golden zone.

If you want, I can even help you work through it if you’re worried. Goes for anyone reading this, hit me up. If we can’t own games then piracy isn’t stealing.

For those not in the know, it was used to split the pelvic bone.

You know, they also sold them for the n64, they were called rumble packs.

We buy most of our grocery at ALDI. It’s stupid cheap, everything tastes like the name brand version did when you were a kid, and even their shitty holiday chocolate is richer and more flavorful than US luxury brands.

If you don’t have one near by, take a little time to research your area for a closed building near an active population and you can email them the suggestion.
