Topic | Dragon's Dogma 2 |
rjsilverthorn 05/01/24 12:54:12 AM #19 | CarefreeDude posted... 98% of the overall plot of Dragons Dogma 2 is absolutely terrible and sillyWhich is pretty much in line with the first game. |
Topic | What's your rent increase this year |
rjsilverthorn 04/28/24 3:16:11 PM #9 | We bought a house specifically to avoid having to deal with these kind of rent hikes. |
Topic | Are there any football RPGs? |
rjsilverthorn 04/27/24 3:26:32 PM #12 | Entity13 posted... And soccer doesn't have people running with the sporty Macguffin in their arms.Still closer to soccer, hockey or water polo than American football. |
Topic | How do you feel about a religious group being an antagonist in fantasy? |
rjsilverthorn 04/27/24 1:31:56 AM #4 | My only real issue is that it is so over used that I just assume any religion presented is going to be the villain. |

Topic | Why do you think fandom decided to axe the sex and sexuality board? |
rjsilverthorn 04/26/24 7:37:45 PM #29 | adjl posted... particularly where the only age restriction now is "promise us you're over 13"Yeah, that alone makes having a sex and sexuality board a bit iffy. I was never on the board so I have no idea how spicy things got over there, but even having a discussion about sex with someone that young is a good way to end up on a watch list. |
Topic | What do you put on a cut or scrape? |
rjsilverthorn 04/26/24 7:05:44 PM #3 | Neosporin is my go to now. Growing up my family used Bactine and I think my grandfather used Mercurochrome/Merbromin. |

rjsilverthorn 04/26/24 5:19:04 PM #23 | LinkPizza posted... Lots of boards are, and will be, gone soonI honestly have no clue how this board has survived as long as it has or how it is still linked from the poll of the day page. |
Topic | Why do you think fandom decided to axe the sex and sexuality board? |
rjsilverthorn 04/26/24 3:40:32 PM #16 | GranTurismo posted... Yeah maybe but other sites like reddit would have same problemYeah and now that Reddit has gone public I'll be curious to see how long their lax content standards will last. Considering the push some states have made towards ID requirements for sites with 'sexual' content they could also be trying to keep out of that mess. |
Topic | On Tuesday I have a consult to get my tubes tied |
rjsilverthorn 04/26/24 10:57:14 AM #28 | Jkd91 posted... Just so im aware, you pay for this right ? why would they say no if you do ?That is an excellent question and yet they do. It took my wife over ten years to get her's done. |
Topic | On Tuesday I have a consult to get my tubes tied |
rjsilverthorn 04/26/24 10:41:12 AM #26 | Jen0125 posted... That's good to know. I def need to talk to the doctor to see what's best for me. Thanks for the info.Even if you can get a doctor that is willing to do it, you would probably have a hard time getting insurance to cover a hysterectomy solely for reproductive reasons since there are less expensive alternatives. They are cheaper and less invasive than they used to be now that they are laproscopic, but it is still removing an entire organ. |
Topic | Airlines are now* required to give cash refunds instead of vouchers |
rjsilverthorn 04/24/24 12:01:50 PM #2 | The vouchers were always BS because you know a huge chunk of them probably went unused. |
Topic | Price is Right makes me sad now |
rjsilverthorn 04/24/24 10:05:14 AM #10 | Johnny_Eagle posted... And they're probably also using prices at *insert local store/dealership/etc. here* as opposed to places like WalmartAs far as I can tell they use the manufacturer suggested retail price for the west coast rather than a specific store. |
Topic | I REALLY hope this isnt politics because it's huge: FTC just banned non-competes |
rjsilverthorn 04/23/24 4:28:52 PM #2 | Now it just needs to survive all of the legal challenges that are going to come. |
Topic | Do you usually use Listerine or some other mouthwash regularly? |
rjsilverthorn 04/20/24 4:45:14 PM #5 | Hydrogen Peroxide |

rjsilverthorn 04/20/24 1:57:14 AM #9 | Only 3 and Brotato is the only one I've really put a decent amount of time into. |
Topic | Just tried "Big Turk" chocolate bar for the first time. WTF |
rjsilverthorn 04/19/24 2:25:49 AM #2 | I've never had Turkish Delight, but for some reason I always assumed the texture would be more like a gumdrop than a gummy bear. You learn something new everyday. |
Topic | The longest boxing match of all time lasted 111 rounds |
rjsilverthorn 04/19/24 1:18:15 AM #2 | From the days before boxing had much in the way of pesky rules. |
Topic | What are the most powerful abilities in games that end up useless? |
rjsilverthorn 04/18/24 10:40:02 PM #32 | Several Ultima games had the Armageddon spell, which literally killed everything in the game but the caster and a handful of powerful NPC's. . |
Topic | had to sign back in on amazon today. |
rjsilverthorn 04/18/24 10:33:17 PM #2 | RJP_X posted... was it likely one of those log-in expiring things? had to check mark to remember my sign in as well as OTP. strange. anything to worry about?I don't think it is anything to worry about, most cookies have some sort of expiration date so you are eventually required to log back in again. Since you were able to sign back in it shouldn't be an issue, although you can always change your password if you are concerned. |
Topic | I think I lost a rubber ear bud tip down my ear |
rjsilverthorn 04/18/24 3:23:41 PM #2 | FrozenBananas posted... Noticed that the rubber tip from my ear bud was missing. A few days later, I was cleaning my ears and it felt like something was blocking my hearing.I would do the clinic first rather than the ER, they should be able to deal with it, it should be cheaper and you aren't taking up ER resources for something non-life threatening. |

Topic | Red Lobster finally goes bankrupt due to endless shrimp |
rjsilverthorn 04/17/24 8:30:51 PM #3 | I've never been to one but my wife and I were just talking about them not that long ago, surprised they were still around. |

Topic | Getting my fucking tubes tied |
rjsilverthorn 04/12/24 8:19:56 PM #40 | adjl posted... Part of it's paranoia over getting sued if the woman changes her mind later, but it's mostly just the attitude that all women should want kids and that anyone who says they won't will likely end up changing their mind later, so the doctor believes they're doing the woman a favour by refusing to do it. It's a very sexist, paternalistic way to practice medicine, but it's still very common.When my wife was trying to get her's done it was before we were married or even engaged and they kept trying to convince her I should get a vasectomy instead since it is more easily reversible. She was like 'He can get one if he wants but it doesn't change the fact that I want my tubes tied." |
Topic | Charles or Frank? |
rjsilverthorn 04/11/24 10:58:34 PM #2 | I'm betting this will be a landslide in favor of Winchester. Frank Burns just had no redeeming qualities so he came off more as a parody than an actual person. Winchester had his issues, but his relationship ends up being more of an Odd Couple scenario rather than being truly adversarial and he is given some redeeming moments to make him seem more human. |

rjsilverthorn 04/11/24 9:54:29 PM #6 | Are we sure he is a Democrat? He seems to peddle a lot of Republican ideas. |

rjsilverthorn 04/10/24 8:00:42 PM #8 | Yeah, this is one of the reasons I'm not in the group that advocates for legalizing all drugs. |
Topic | Getting my fucking tubes tied |
rjsilverthorn 04/10/24 7:58:57 PM #13 | adjl posted... I guess they're banking on hardly anyone being able to get it done. That, or they didn't realize you were white, but we'll go with the slightly less cynical interpretation.The correct answer is still cynical, it is cheaper for them than paying for pregnancy related care. |
Topic | Getting my fucking tubes tied |
rjsilverthorn 04/10/24 4:42:09 PM #2 | My wife had to fight with her doctor for years before they let her get her's tied. |

Topic | Sucks to be a night owl post pandemic |
rjsilverthorn 04/08/24 12:46:26 AM #6 | Most of the places around here stopped being open 24 hours even before the pandemic. It might have made sense when there was one grocery store open late, because they'd at least get all the late night traffic, but once all of the other stores followed nobody was going to get enough business to make it cost effective to stay open. |

rjsilverthorn 04/06/24 7:18:55 PM #7 | agesboy posted... it's mostly just an exercise in realizing how absolutely fucking big millions, billions, and trillions are, even with respect to each otherYeah, I remembered watching this video a while back and it does a good job of driving home just how much difference there is between the two. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YUWDrLazCg |
Topic | Musk to start an Email service... |
rjsilverthorn 04/05/24 11:29:12 PM #12 | EclairReturns posted... Surely, the author of this comment means "overestimating"? If one is underestimating the speed with which current users would quit G-Mail once given the opportunity, then that is equivalent to saying that those users would take a long time to wean off the e-mail platform. If one is overestimating the speed in question, then one would believe that those users would quit using G-Mail in a heartbeat in order to subscribe to this new and 'revolutionary' Elon-Mail platform.I think the author of the comment said exactly what he meant. The article implies that people would be reluctant to leave Gmail for Xmail and the commenter is suggesting that many people would be happy to flee gmail. Which is odd because it isn't like there aren't other email services already available and most of the issues that people have with Gmail would likely exist with Musk's service as well. Musk would probably force Tesla owners to use it and I can see him integrating it to Twitter as well to pad the number of 'active' users. |
Topic | Apparently an Earthquake Hit New York/New Jersey... |
rjsilverthorn 04/05/24 1:14:43 PM #2 | I felt it, but didn't realize it was an earthquake right away. We are pretty far from the epicenter so it just felt like a big truck driving by initially, but just kept going. |
