I got a random cold text about partaking in a biological psychology experiment where I solve language puzzles in an fMRI.
Fuck yeah scan my brain professor with a german surname. Let's go!
when you get superhero powers remember who was here for you when you didn't believe it was a good idea to accept a random cold call request to go be a science guinea pig
But what about if my superpower turns out to be that I forget everything?
My boss has confirmed that he has bought tickets for the department to see Avengers: Endgame on the Friday of opening weekend. We are going to watch it during work hours at the theater and get paid for it.

I went for run for the first time in two weeks. My pace was crappy and it was windy. I never wanna run again. Except for the half I have at the end of the month.

That article Coinage posted has just straight bummed me out about breast implants
I can't believe more people aren't talking about the side effects / I'm surprised they continue to be as popular in elective cases (technically all cases, per that article, but I mean to say non-reconstructive) considering the drawbacks
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.
My kitty is feeling better after throwing up a bunch last night. She finally ate some food and is looking less lethargic yayyy.
Does your cat not just throw up for fun?
Last month, my cat had to hock up a hairball, and Hahnsboo reported that he physically walked over to the carpet near hardwood to barf specifically on the carpet, while he was heaving. :-P
It always surprises me how little it seems to take for a lot of people to have "too much" of something.
Like for Marvel movies if there are 4 a year that's like 8-9 hours over an entire year! That seems like not that much. That's like a single weekends worth of playing video games stretched over an entire year!
Keep them coming! It's just like reading comics which you would be keeping up with and following the stories over a long time in smaller chunks. Except here they are bigger chunks that are further apart. And it doesn't involve reading. I love it and I hope they keep raking in the money so I can keep enjoying them for years to come.
i honestly find the big ensemble movies to be generally formulaic and boring
some of the individual ones have been good though
See that makes sense if you are already not super into the idea.
It's just always surprising when it's people who seemed to be into the thing at some point.
It happens with games a lot too.
"Man I love this game! It's super awesome!"
*5 years later*
"Wow this feels a lot like the old game I used to love just with better graphics and some new mechanics. That's stupid why isn't it completely different?"
And I'm just like... it's been half a decade! How is that not long enough to want that kind of experience again?!

Lady, I do not and have not ever owned a Nissan Altima in my life. I know you gotta get that bread, but not like this.
*mumble*-ird and final notice. Your account is overdue and you will be charged thousands in back taxes. Please call the IRS now at 1-don-tgo-ogle to settle this serious matter.

to be fair they've probably had that same experience half a dozen times in between those five years
games have kind of turned into super formulaic things it feels like these days, especially big name games.

Hey, you. You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.

I've seen thunderbutt start deliberately leaning over my open shoe when she started hacking before.
The only possible explanation for this behavior is that she wanted my complete and immediate attention, because that's exactly what she got.

I took a min to look at the spoilers for the next mtg set. Holy shit that new Jace. They are really trying to draw people back in with power creep eh?
I mean it's neat, and it's got that shiny alternate win condition, but it's not...good? You're paying four mana to draw 1-2 cards, mill a bit, and then soak up 5-7 damage most of the time.

hmmm i'm really enjoying this low carb meal i've prepared a couple times now. high flour tortilla, dark meat chicken, shredded cheese, sugar free bbq sauce, chopped up dill pickle. something like 10g of non fibrous carbs and really tasty and a decent chunk of calories which is good since the metformin is upsetting my stomach and making more frequent meals difficult.

? The one im looking at has draw as a +. Can target youself to mill yourself faster with the GY toss. And an ultimate of big draw. Nissa looks pretty nuts too.

actually i think if i could make the perfect game for me
it would be like an elder scrolls type setting
just a giant, like fucking huge map
maybe the biggest map anyone has ever seen
but not procedurally generated
i just walk around and can kind of minecraftily gather resources and build things
there is a competitive mode of some sort with an AI and a multiplayer co-op mode and a pvp mode that i never play but is good enough to entice other people to play the co-op mode with me sometimes
also maybe there's a version that is that but in space but not no man's sky, an actual game with a constructed universe or whatever you want to call it

Draw is a +, but it doesn't have an ability that impacts the board. It might get run as a kind of "Have to deal with this eventually" threat that does generate cards, but feels like there are cleaner wincons for hard control to run.

I am very hype for the new magic set. But still not sure what to run to try and get to mythic this month. Shit is rough out there. White weenie feels like it isn't working as well as I would like. Sultai is strong but is one of my weaker archetypes. Mono red is always solid but not a clear standout. Maybe just mono blue forever. Or try that gruul deck

Like once or twice a week yeah.
But this was like 4 times in 4 hours.
I opened a can of her favorite wet food this morning and she didn't go for it either so I was ready to come home and take her right to the vet

It's eurojank, but it's basically open-world Skyrim, but a survival game instead of an epic quest or high fantasy thing.
no time limited events
no grinding pointlessly
just a big open space i can build in and maybe occasionally shoot mans with guns or magic or my fists
and no purpose other than being creative with what i can build
that's all i want why is it so much to ask
