I think Swype is pretty great

This is why I don't like the infatuation with touch screens that society has had for the past decade

It's annoying, but touch screens and mobile sites/apps have gotten a lot better lately. I don't think there's a better alternative at this point. Would you rather go back to blackberry trackball or something?

the new MN MLS team is really really bad. I know it's hard to do well in the first year in any league, but the new Atlanta team is doing pretty decent. Probably a much better run organization

The high is 104 degrees today. It's currently 98 and climbing. St. Louis is so awful

Is it humid there? It's only 86 here but it feels miserable with the humidity

I saw Dunkirk last night. V good

Is the dad HOT?

good news and bad news:

good: My dad told me if the vikings make it to the super bowl this season in Minneapolis, he will buy us both tickets
bad: the vikings will not make it to the super bowl

The Vikings signed a DT named Chunky Clements. That is an elite name, especially for a DT

I was like 75% sure chewy was joking because I corrected him once before

The wild play in St. Paul
Pretty much the same town though

. I was thinking they had a pretty long run of making the postseason every year, but that was early 2000s

And then they would get swept by the Yankees

It's not that bad for casual fans like myself but for people who have bought season tickets for years and really follow the twins I imagine it's very frustrating.

This isn't sports related, but I think it's dumb when people call a dog a "doggo" on the internet. Seems like it's in the same vein as that "le bacon is epic!!!!" crap from a while ago

Twins Legend Bartolo Colon is starting tonight

I always hear excuses about how teams go through rough patches, hitting a lot of bad breaks, catching opponents at the wrong time, etc., but I don't think it's normal to hit a "rough patch" where you give up like eight runs a game for a month. And that's something that happens to the Rockies every year, often for multiple stretches

Welcome to Minnesota

I've heard the first one before, but I don't really think I've heard the second

he's a special person, but usually, he would start the weed in the summer, and then when school started he would try and quit and use tobacco to quit, and then in the fall, he'd start smoking the herb to try and quit the cigs

DorkLink posted...

This might be a dumb question, but is it possible to get rid of a tobacco addiction by smoking enough weed? I know they are two different kinds of "highs", but if you're high enough off of weed do you not feel the urge to smoke cigs? Or do nicotine withdrawal symptoms just persist through that?

one of my best friends/former roommates went through a cycle of "i started cigs again to quit smoking weed / I started smoking weed again to stop smoking cigs"
pretty sure he's just an r word though

imagine going up to your girlfriend and saying "hey pizza buns"

You guys like the simpsons way more than anyone I've ever talked to. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Anyway, at the grocery store store the other day I bought this thing called Pizza Buns (mostly because the name is funny).

I've always been a big fan of crappy pizza stuff like pizza rolls and bagel bites, but I pretty much never buy them nowadays because I eat all of them in 1 sitting.

but these Pizza Buns were just bad. Way too bready, and just had this weird flavor. I even took the time to bake them in the oven instead of microwaving too.

everyone I know gets it directly deposited and you can get a pay stub with earnings and stuff electronically

I would take a blowjob from literally anyone with literally anything on their face

I wonder if you can still do that drift/boost trick from mk64 to escape blue shells

What trick is that? I didn't even know you could drift in MK64, but that's pretty much all you do in MK8.

Also in MK64 I think you could block the blue shell the same way as red ones

Oh it's a newer Mario kart, but here's the gif

I remember Mario kart Wii online. Game was fun but it was unplayable online.

I also like how link has a smart phone in this game

Cool link picture chewy

There are letters in friend codes now???

Yes, it's safer that way. Much harder for crooks to get your info.

I get a nintendo and now all you guys talk about is crash bandicoot

adjl posted...

Either she's shy and doesn't like initiating communication despite enjoying your conversations, or she doesn't actually want to talk to you and is just humouring you to be polite. Hard to say which from the information you've given.

probably the latter

Point still stands that he hasn't had high bars to clear and the tournament format does still screw guys over with luck

true

DorkLink posted...

Tournament format is dumb. Sano got to the finals with as many homers in two rounds as Bour got in one. He had the lowest totals in rounds 1 and 2 besides the guys he beat

well he has been stopping with time on the clock after he beats the other guys' totals

my super nintendo switch is here guys. please post your friend codes

I was at this bar which was showing BIG3 games, which I hadn't heard about. It was actually pretty entertaining. It's this new 3v3 half court basketball league, which features some former NBA greats, among other players. It also has a 4 point show and different rules/timers, which I thought was kinda neat. I think my favorite team is the Ghost Ballers, which is a sweet team name.

My phone isn't powerful enough. I could just buy several Pokemon games for what it would take me to get a decent enough phone. And touchscreen controls suck for most games

any phone that isn't from like 2004 can play up to GBA games just fine. and for a turn based RPG like pokemon, the touchscreen controls actually work pretty good. But to each their own.

or just get an emulator on your phone like a normal person

I will send it to you privately. I wouldn't want a stranger to get ahold of my Friend Code.

either way tho, I was going to get one inevitably when the pokemon game comes out

Try not to let the hype affect your playthrough

ha

lol I called target and asked to speak with electronics, and she said "is this about a nintendo switch"

I just ordered one and mario kart and zelta off amazon. And of course, the games will be here a day before the console

Should I get a switch? I got a bonus and want to buy stuff

STLCards1991 posted...

just blow it up just to see what that's like.

the twins are so bad that they didn't even really do anything at all after their franchise worst 2016 season

The Twinkies signed the greatest batter to ever play the game: bartolo colon

The twins won't make the playoffs, but they will trade you for all the pitchers regardless

I think the song is way better than the video. You can enjoy the song without watching the music video.

I really like this cover it too

that's not bad, actually

I'm in the Chicago airport and I've seen Christina Hendricks, her husband Geoffrey Arend, and Bill Hader. Too scared to say hello though, even though I'm pretty sure Bill would have been cool with it based on his body language when I noticed him.

are you sure it wasn't just a redhead with huge cans and some dudes around her?

I totally read this in Christian Bale's voice
