"there's coffee in that nebula"

They clearly allow it, whether or not most partake is another matter. I'm also not familiar with anything saying they don't allow alcohol, just that synthetic is a widely used alternative

It's not about productivity. If that were the real goal then the entire system would be structured radically differently, given what we know now through actual research. The real goal is ensuring that workers do not have ample time or energy to collectively organize. Make sure they don't have the time to even think about anything else, and you ensure they damn sure don't have the time to rebel. The other goal is ensuring there are a significant number of unemployed people in terrible enough conditions to make them desperate, but not so terrible that they are incapable of working. That way if s few stray workers get a bug up their ass about organizing and striking, there's a reserve army of labor in the homeless and unemployed communities that can step in and scab.

My older brother had one of these. I used to play a bunch of games we got in cereal boxes with it. Discs were the size of gamecube games, and completely slipped off the disc tray and he'd have to disassemble it to get them out for me. Excellent older brother behavior, until he finally forbid from putting any more shitty cap'n crunch branded video games in his computer. Lol. Controller was good though, iirc

Edit:

Upon googling for nostalgia's sake, I'm mistaken. It wasn't this one. This is specifically for N64, ours was on a pc. Super similar to this one, but I can't find the one we used.

Desperately need them to get letterboxed, spelling bee and strands on there, too. I play every night, and it just feels wrong not being able to play right now

Replace waiter with "CEO" and you begin to understand why socialists believe what they do

Not always an option. What if you've just been fucked in a field? There's no shower. Or more likely, the handicap stall at a Walmart halfway between your houses because neither of you can host, and you live 2 hours apart

Right? Such a cool name! I also would not mind if they renamed earth to Terra, though, to keep the trend. But if we keep Uranus, we should make earth Gaia, so Uranus won't be so lonely as the only Greek in the solar system.

I may, may, be anthropomorphizing our planets a bit

Let me help every woman you'll sleep with going forward, then. Don't just jizz on the bed when you pull out. It also gets cold, but now it's where you need to sleep. Lol.

Also don't get it in their hair, it's a bitch to get out if it dries. Invest in a daily glass of pineapple juice, though, and you probably won't have to worry about it where to end. They won't mind swallowing so much

I'm a genuine proponent of renaming Uranus to "Caelus." It's the only planet (save earth) not named for a Roman god. It's named for a Greek god, and completely breaks the naming convention. Funny word play aside, I'd like to see it renamed Caelus.

Ever driven 45 minutes home after bottoming? It get pretty cold before you get to a shower

Firstly, that would be awesome, but imagine the spam.

Secondly, I'm a proponent of thorn, I get it. But ð was almost exclusively used medially and terminally in English. In addition it didn't last nearly as long, and is much less recognizable as a letter in English. Þ was used initially, and is far more commonly seen in English. I get that you're using them for voiced and unvoiced like in Icelandic, but that wasn't so much the convention in English. I'm not against it, I'm asking to be sold on it. Lol. Sell me on why I need eth instead of just using thorn for both voiced and unvoiced, please? I'm willing to be converted.

And third, I'm having trouble finding it, was eth on it's own ever used as a single letter spelling of the, or is that your own addition? I like it. When writing (by hand) notes or things only I'll be reading, I use the þe shorthand that looks like an e cradled in the crook of a y, like was common in colonial America.

It's been pretty helpful in writing fantasy, but most of what it spits out is sort of... Surface level kids stuff, to be honest. But it has helped come up with a few interesting twists when I'm stuck. It's not something they could write a story for you, but it has helped when I need, like, "I have scene A, in which X happens, and even C, in which y happens, help me bridge them by writing scene B." It'll give me some sort of like bedtime story level writing, and then I go in and completely redo it, but it gets me unstuck. The paid ones may be better, but I'm not spending money on them, I just use the free ones.
