I read one of the survivors of the recent California shooting was also a survivor of the Nevada shooting. If true, it'd show an American is demonstrably more likely to be in a mass shooting than get struck by lightning or win the lottery.

This is from a study on how much people typically remember from different types of teaching... FROM 1946. I have no sassy quips. Desperate laughter only.

@mnarmintor Well that's *that* song stuck in my head ...until someone uses the phrase "different strokes"

@UbisoftSupport @Ubisoft Playing Splinter Cell:blacklist together is something my partner and I do as a couple - this is like taking away our favourite restaurants. Can we at least get a patch to make it LAN playable? It's a low-cost way to leave the door open for sales on a game without supporting it.

@pandemicennui See your enemies driven before you! While eating over priced pizza in the dark!

@mnarmintor I believe my reaction was "What??! ...No way!....I mean, of course! But still!"

Is this your first time playing the game? I was a late comer and it totally lived up to the hype for me. Hot take, though... Those cinematics are lit like soap operas and it hurts me.

@pandemicennui Thing of beauty

@laurafjones This....this is why I'm with you

[Errol Rivera @EScottRivera]

@EasilyEmma @mnarmintor Oh dang - you're so right! I remember it so vividly now! Like, the waving hand while he tries to explain. The waves getting wavier as the sentences get progressively more quickly interrupted by himself. Then the "you know what!?". Shrug. Trudge. Begrudging reach for the chalk.

While I may calm down, my initial position on the lifted restrictions is best characterised as:

@laurafjones Enter the mailmerge king

[Errol Rivera @EScottRivera]

@salsus Yeah. I've feel like you're being a detective, an anthropologist, an innovator and a great parent all at once.

@salsus Now if only someone would put that consequence to good use...I'm looking at you online PS5 retailers.

Why hasn't @ChristianKane01 ever played Wolverine and can we fix this? Do we need a hashtag? I have so many questions.
