    Also you are doomed by your refusal to play co-op games, because I am currently obsessed with a board game I just got and I'm basically playing it constantly with Cinders and Winky and Winky's friend Mike.

    the legacy one?

    Yep. It's like a semi-legacy.

    The easiest way to describe it is that it's like a long D&D campaign without needing a DM, but frankly I think that undersells it. In addition to being just a really fun game, the components are really nice and also cleverly designed.

    So far I don't really have anything bad to say about it.

    oh cool have fun

    *kicks rocks*

    It's not my fault you married someone who is incapable of working together with people.

    She probably wouldn't even help during the scenario, just run around and pick up all the coins monsters drop after other people killed them.

    She'd have all the best equipment and just never use it.

    The hug vs handshake conundrum is a tough one sometimes, because I honestly don't care which one happens, but it's hard to tell in that first few seconds you meet someone which they'd prefer.

    I generally find handshakes to be a safer bet, even (especially?) with ladies.

    I assume handshakes in mixed company

    The huggers will generally do wtf they feel anyway

    oh here they are down at the botom of PCpartpicker for like twice the price efyouuu

    @Aioua
    there's two protocols

    the SATA one

    and the PCIE one

    the cheap ones are SATA based, and offer nothing over the SATA cable, really

    and sometimes the board doesn't even support one or the other, so be careful

    It's actually awkward for some of my married friends when I talk about my wife, so I tend to avoid doing it

    Because we are very happy with each other and enormously supportive and genuinely enjoy spending time with each other, but also respect each others' need to have our own hobbies and friends

    So when like my wife will text me to ask a question or something when I'm out with the lads and they'll be like "oh the ball and chain clanking at you" and I'm like no she had a question about the cats?

    And I guess I'm just not participating in some kind of shared social ritual of ragging about our wives but I don't want to?

    I generally find handshakes to be a safer bet, even (especially?) with ladies.

    yeah I am fine with hugs from newly met friends, and even some coworkers

    but I will typically go for the handshake first because I don't want to assume someone else wants the H unless they've indicated that they do

    with dudes this often turns into the hands clasped at chest while hugging with other hand, slapping the back thing

    I have never had a lady do that though, prolly because tits, so that's usually where you'll get the awkward reshuffling

    when you have SS lightning bolt tattoos you must really think the world is against you

    Having nazi tattoos is like a walking "I started some shit" sign

    A person who has a Nazi tattoo in a highly visible, difficult to conceal area, like their fucking neck

    That is a dangerous person

    That is a person who has renounced connection to the normal world of normal people. They're essentially outlawing themselves. They can't get a normal job anymore, they can only get a job working for other Nazis and their friends will only be other Nazis. They have cut themselves off. It's a bold, dangerous statement and any good thinking person is right to be alarmed by them displaying such markings with pride.

    I was amazed at how my initial intuitions about how Neo-Nazi gatherings must be normalizing outlets for such persons were just dead wrong.

    Every single private rally I read about... multiple stab wound victims, pistols being waved around, speakers literally being yanked off of stages or podiums by their feet from the crowd below.

    Like, that's how they treat their own.

    That's reserved for very minor violations and misspeaking from you and will.

    all of my "minor violations" are when i am QUOTING

    context dankey, context

    you can't poorly rap the entirety of dmx's "where the hood at" then say "I'm just quoting!"

    you can at will's condo

    there are no rules

    This cannot possibly be true.

    Maybe there are no rules regarding slurs and/or epithets, but there's no way Will's place has no rules at all.

    the first rule of will's condo is there are no rules at will's condo

    the second rule is that all steaks shall be made sous vide

    the third is no shoes on the carpet pls

    Don't act like I wouldn't kicked out if I tried to use one of his expensive brands of alcohol to make a fruity mixed drink where you can't even taste the alcohol.

    Speaking of fruity drinks. When are you coming over to make that one I love? And to see porpy. visiblehowl

    omg that's not a fruity drink, porp, it's a carefully balanced high-class cocktail

    don't embarrass me in front of my friends

    we met porp's sister and her boyfriend last night for dinner before Hamilton

    it was our first time meeting the boyfriend and he really went all out

    took us to his favorite diner, ordered his favorite apps and the main course was something not even on the menu that they've made specially for him before

    the place is BYOB so they brought a thing of nice bourbon and a bottle of red wine

    i think he assumed the guys would drink the bourbon and the girls the wine but porp just drank all the bourbon herself

    lol classic

    That dude knows what's up, though. Pulling out all the stops the first time you meet your SO's family is a pro tier move.

    he went for a hug on porp and a handshake on me during the initial greeting

    i said fuck that we're hugging meanwhile porp gave him a look and was like, "we're hugging?"

    yessss reject the gender norms shark and porp

    reject them

    reject norms and dish out hugs

    When I was about to meet Shivahn I agonized a little bit: "Is this a hug situation or a handshake situation??"

    Shiv saw me, smiled, accelerated to a hug-trajectory; excellent 5/7 friendship

    So now that's basically just what I do

    I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.

    i hate hugging women

    it's not because i'm uncomfortable feeling their boobs, it's that i'm uncomfortable with them feeling mine. i loathe my body and it makes me feel feminine and unattractive so hugging a hot girl makes me feel like a sexless blob

    I knew a guy in college that would have fun sometimes by calling those numbers and asking for all sorts of lewd things using the code and once they got agreement he'd drop some sort of "And it's not a problem that I'm 14, right?" kind of thing and see how long he could get them to keep going.
