    Ten minutes ago, I already wanted OUT of this car...this is annoying!

    Hopefully not be in this car anymore, but it might be longer than ten minutes. Maybe 15 or 20...that's cause he drives 15 to 20 mph.

    Waiting to get the heck out of this car...geeze...it's fine. Just annoying.

    Benefits info. Not exciting or a check exactly, but I'm moving in the right direction.

    Impatient. You may not pay money for the food, but time is infinitely more valuable and scarce than money, even these days.

    Plenty. Up at 0630, at work by 0730, home by 1500 because today I was flexing, digital curation till 1800, still not back from dinner, not expecting to call it quits until early tomorrow morning. So, plenty, and I'm not done yet.

    mega thread What are you thinking?

    I'm thinking that I need to start watching who I'm seen in public with more closely.

    Belatedly, Welcome. This is a great place to be.

    It was a pleasant dream...

    Steam Achievements always are satisfying, some ponies turn their noses up at them, but I don't. I have two games I've Blue Ribboned, three if you count CS2, which you shouldn't.

    Taking money you didn't earn is wrong. I wouldn't take it. I'd walk away, that is my answer to the hypothetical scenario. I can't predict what I would do if I weren't me. But I know that if I took the money, I wouldn't be me. That may sound lame or square to some ponies in the 21st century, I call it integrity.

    During my Wiccan phase, my craft name was Rootspiral, so that's the closest to a nature related name that I've come.

    I love peanut butter but I have to avoid it, I gain weight rapidly if I eat even incidental amounts of it, it sticks to me, in other words.

    Someone on Tumblr finally accepted the challenge and did something with one of my Twilight Sparkle PNGs, I captured this image of her sitting down and asked any pony to make art and show me what she was looking at. Here was one pony's reply. Perhaps now the College of Winterhold will have at least one faculty member who is neither useless, nor a bad parody of a D&D stereotype, and could actually help the Dragonborn learn anything. Maybe Twilight Sparkle could also console Astrid's charred remains with some of Rainbow Dash's Loyalty Lessons.

    Don't even touch that suitcase, so they don't have to eliminate your prints, while you explain to law enforcement why you even touched property that's not yours to begin with. You don't know what kind of residue might be on that kind of money, in that kind of a suitcase, in that kind of a ditch, I mean both physically and karmically. Cause and effect, if it is either blood money or dirty money, then your gain was someone else's loss. You didn't earn it, one way or another though, you'll pay for it. No one leaves $700,000 dollars in a suitcase, in a ditch. Just today I saw on a billboard that the Power Ball is up to 1 Billion dollars. Guess what, your odds of winning that money are far greater than you ever coming across $700,000 dollars in a suitcase, in a ditch, that anyone left there for a good, or even a neutral reason. Call law enforcement and let the local news do a segment about what an Honest John you are. This advice is professional advice.

    I feel well satisfied, my new job got off to a good start last week and I just spent an enjoyable day with my brother.

    I am thinking that my first week at the new job was a success.

    I may have learned a little bit about playing stealth games, over the years. Sorry to use this thread as an opportunity for a shameless plug of my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheEyeOfStone

    Nope. Not gonna happen. I have no parental responsibilities anymore, I used to. It would never have happened back then. Now that's one battle the other side would have lost if they'd have had any interest in doing so. No human microchips.

    Weapons, water and food, in that order. Then establish a defensible position and try to hold it and stockpile. Then try to detect and ally with any other survivors. Maybe fight our way to an area the zombies avoid. If it's gonna happen, I wish it would happen now, rather than later when I'm in my 70's. I could do it now, but doing it as an old man, is not the retirement home I have in mind, thank you very much.

    Today, as with the entire week before it has been spent in meticulous and careful preparations. I am starting a new job tomorrow on Monday. If there's anything I can do with my living environment to help me hit the ground running, that's what I've been working on.

    The last thing I ate was bad brand X licorice from my local grocery store, I am not gonna bother taking a pic of it.

    I have a new favorite track, I discovered this while playing the RARIDOOM Mod for GZDOOM. At first, I thought it was just a random techno track, but it was SO GOOD, I took the mellow dramatic step of putting the mod's PK3 file into SLADE. Fortunately the file was well described by the mod's author. Imagine my delight when I realized I'd just fallen in love with a track by one of the first Brony super-composers, NotACleverPony. I went as far as legally purchasing the track on Bandcamp, and I also found a mediafire link to a dope extended mix. This track is used to score a level in the mod which the Changelings have turned into a lab where they are perfecting Trixie clones. When you're hearing this while you're battling a Cybernetic Trixie Battle Mech, yeah...it's dope. It's a nice thought to know that mods for classic DOOM can be a way to rediscover OG Brony tracks.

    Catharsis: the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions. Prior to this episode, there was only one pony in all of FIM that I had truly come to hate, Chancellor Neighsay. At first I struggled to identify clearly what it is about him that struck my nerve so badly. Then I realized; he reminds me so much of a human being, at our worst. He's a demagogue, an autocrat, and a xenophobe Before the events of this episode he was entirely self-satisfied. The one redeeming quality I could identify was the same one that Cozy Glow mentions, he is very moral, he believes what he says, even if his beliefs are ignorant and small-hearted. No other pony ever rubbed my fur quite as far in the wrong direction as Chancellor Neighsay. Then this episode happened. Including the scene from which the screenshot below was taken, including the very instant that the screenshot below captures. Somehow, seeing him get utterly pawned by Cozy Glow made me feel sorry for him, for the first time ever. I think it's got something to do with the fact that she turned a crowd he'd been pontificating to against him. He does prove that he's capable of learning something and admitting he was wrong. And he does go on to make an honest effort to help out. No other pony in the series ever succeeded in convincing Princess Celestia to march out of Canterlot at the head of an EUP army. How much different and better would things have gone for Equestria over the course of the series if Celestia had done that more often? So one of the many things I take away from this episode is that I am more able to look at Chancellor Neighsay like a pony, like Twilight Sparkle, and less like a human. It's better to be a pony, when dealing with cases like Chancellor Neighsay.
