Usually I stop playing once my eyes begin to hurt, that usually happens 16-18 hours in. That is probably because I am used to working nearly double what is considered dangerously long hours when need be, so doing something relatively easy and low stakes for an extended period is no problem for me.

Do you have the sound on?

Imagine having enough self control to play video games for a healthy number of hours, sure is nice to imagine.

some sneeze from horny too!

I am thinking of one of those joke characters who’s only character trait is that they are horny constantly and uncontrollably sneezing.

Hell is something wicked people create for themselves. You burn for eternity because you’ve rejected a model of life that doesn’t involve tormenting other people for your own satisfaction and surrounded yourself with people who feel the same way.

Or if we are talking about Christianity, you also go there if you are an apostate. And since I have not believed in the Bible since I was 7 I would also be heading down there.

8 If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

Theology is fun.

The name looks normal to me? Unless you mean the red “A” next to their name, which means that they are an administrator for the instance.

Thankfully where I am I am not seeing much AI slop being sold in real life anymore, so either it has gotten so good that I can no longer pick it out or people in Calgary of all places are able to pick it out and have the good sense to reject it. Considering how a lot of people here are I am leaning to the former, despite being able to pick out the real photo in those comparison quizzes almost 100% of the time. I do desperately hope it is the latter, not just to keep my personal pride intact but mostly so that I can have some hope that not everyone is bending over and accepting the mediocre slop that AI produces.

“Everything is edible, some things are only edible once”

I don’t think so. Everything looks way too intentional, notice how the background is blurred in a way to match the original meme. “AI” will usually make everything in focus.

Canadian Thanksgiving was a month ago now and I had to miss it thanks to work obligations, so I hope that every American reading this has an excellent thanksgiving to make up for mine.

I am pretty sure that is the joke.

I figured you needed a break

Oh I did and very much do.

and I hope you at least get to take some extra time off to relax and wind down after so much hard work.

I wish, I am probably going to have to keep going through the holidays into next spring. But I will be able to go from ~120hr weeks to ~60hr weeks assuming that we don’t have any major issues (Which if you have ever worked with old industrial machinery, you know is basically guarenteed). Lucky me.

but you were busy dealing with the consequences of the actions of a man who will never have to deal with the consequences of his own actions.

Eh, it is not entirely the old pedophile’s fault. We did not plan to nearly double our headcount to take over the operations of the most complicated link of our supply chain at effectively a moments notice. Especially since they seemed like they were doing well.

On a serious note this is a small snippet of what they had to deal with when importing the precursors. They were dealing with the high end of the tariffs.
