Felt very rich so I made a single-serving of egg nog with real egg and Amontillado sherry. Also felt not-rich and drinking some boxed wine. I contain multitudes.

No interest in it, I have a long list of other projects I would enjoy more.
Wait,blackmailed for dick pics as in "send me dick pics or else", or blackmailed for sending dick pics, "yo, you just send nudes to a minor, give me cash or I'll tell the cops".
Yep, I have one for keeping friends and family updated on my travels without relying on FB/Insta/whatever. If interested, they can subscribe to my RSS feed. If not, I do it for myself and Sarvesh, a random (alleged) Indian man who thinks I am very beautiful and wants to marry me.
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
It's a summation of low grade damage over years and years from activities like football, rugby, hockey. Physical evidence requires an autopsy or maybe tracking changes in the brain over years (which no NFL player watching out for his paycheck is going to want to do).
That's not to say there won't be a way to detect it in still-live people in the future. CTE is still "new" in the context of medicine, which moves at glacial paces.
What's next? Rename the Artemis program because we can't be flying to the moon under some lady name? Probably change it to Ares, god of war and courage. That's a very manly man name, just as the good lords Jesus and Trump intended.
I've seen three at my state's Capital building. All three got about 5 seconds of local media coverage and zero national media coverage.
Simply a realistic statue showing how fucking weird he looks and stands.

His body looks like the front half of a centaur.
You assume they care about truth as an ideal to uphold.
Their optimization model is set to maximize power and wealth for their people. Truth is a tool to use or discard as needed in reach of their goal. It makes perfect sense, just not within the logic and morals framework you or I would use.
Pinning this one for later. Recently rewatched Lake Mungo and I don't think I can do another back-to-back. Those Aussie horrors are intense.
I knew it as arm wrestling growing up. And what most call arm wrestling (hands clasped, elbows on table), was hand or wrist wrestling.
Sorta. I dreamt I had an imaginary family in which I was the only child. IRL I am one of seven kids, plus some cousins and other kids my parents informally took charge of.
I used to imagine getting new clothes and toys instead of hand me downs, and getting to go to first run movie theaters (too expensive with 7 kids at $10+ per ticket), and eating foods nicer than basic bulk nutrients (Lunchables were the pinnacle of unnecessary expense on food).
Now I am employed and financially self sufficient. I don't think about the imaginary family. I do sometimes have trouble spending money on myself. I recently bought a new jacket for $40, very reasonably priced for what it is and the quality. I had in the back of my head for a good three days after buying it that I didn't really need it and it was a waste of money. Maybe I need the rich imaginary version of myself to tell me to stop feeling like a class-jumping fraud.
I still have never had a Lunchables, but that desire is long gone.
