As someone in a swing state, I’d be ok with that. Make the US like the EU.

For one thing, every 4 years residents of swing states get relentlessly harassed and it fucking sucks. But also It’s so so much easier to make changes on a smaller local level without the influence of distant populations. Sure it would suck in some ways and for some states, but maybe if each state only had to convince a few thousand people to do better, rather than literally millions (presidential election, very demoralizing), swing states would be more left leaning.

And if not, well it would probably be a lot easier to move states than move countries, even if they were EU style countries.

It kinda looks like a game king cartridge, from the inside bits (can’t find a pic of the whole thing), but that’s from the early 2000s. I went through a list of older handhelds and that’s the closest entry. But importantly, that probably isn’t it.

What you have is probably a regional knock-off sort of thing, or something that was never popular/prominent enough to be added to the wiki page.

This is the handheld list I went through. I stopped at the DS, as I assume yours is considerably older than that. Some of the old systems only have a handful of games for them, so it’s possible it’s something that just wasn’t made in large numbers, but my bet is on super-generic-knockoff-gamebay/gamboy/toyboy/gamekid handheld system (jokey knockoff names not real things afaik), which are not listed with the actual non-knockoff systems. (I wasn’t able to find much about vintage knockoff/copy systems)

Food related patterns would be pretty strong indicators for me as well, I think.

I only eat after 4pm (sometimes only from 6-10 or so) and people comment when I actually eat earlier than that, especially breakfast. I almost never use condiments or salt (I’m on a very low sodium diet and have been most of my life; I don’t use salt outside of baking, and that’s half salt). Give my dopple unsalted fries and you’ll know right away.

Drinks would work well for me as well - coffee made a very specific way, or room temp water, mostly (I actively dislike cold and hot water).

That’s ok, everyone else does that anyway :)

It was not until the following day that one of the team spotted the bright pink object - borrowed by the worker after he misplaced his own phone - frozen in the middle of the rink.

My man needs a lanyard for his phone..

That’s like one of the super grindy JRPG titles I have (100 hours or so to get through the story). To get all the achievements, you’d have to play through an absolute minimum of 9 times, because you need to kill the end boss without taking damage on each difficulty level, and they unlock as you go. But you’d actually be grinding bosses for ages trying to get them without taking damage..

The game was ok, but I honestly can’t see wanting to play it twice let alone 9 times.. there’s definitely a reason almost nobody has those achievements..

I ordered papaya salad ages back and was told basically the same thing (Vietnamese? Thai? Idk). It was unpleasant but I liked it? I guess I liked it? I ate it, tho it took a while. It was very fishy, which I dislike. But idk, it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever had. And now I kinda want it again.

This is definitely the only memory I have of it, yeah. Brightly lit room after running hither and yon across base all night.. and being too tired to give a shit what was going on..

There’s a pizza chain by me that is, imho, so greasy as to be inedible without soaking off half the grease.. and yet it exists.. people pay money for it. They haven’t gone out of business.

So at least it’s not just shitty school food I guess…? 😒

So vampire photosynthesis.

That’s metal af.

Damn man. At least they made the art they had banging around in their skulls.

Meanwhile I can’t do a thing I’ve got so much reference material for because “what if it’s not just the way I want”

you dumb bitch you can fix it if it sucks holy shit.

Edit: I wonder if cave painters had issues with.. not properly representing their vision.. their visions were… more bison shaped then, but all the same…

They are being trained.

To escalate, that’s why they “need” all that military kit.
