“Fay-yoo? Ah… ah… OK, she won’t be winning any beauty contests anytime soon, but she is solid. Ship like this, be with you till the day you die.”
“Because it’s a death trap.”

Maybe not favorite of all shows but the first that came to mind;

Out of Gas, Firefly

Take my love
Take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care 'cause I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me

I hear you. I’ve had every playstation since the PS1. We even own a PS4 and PS4 Pro. Mythbusters was the beginning of the end for me. When they yanked Mythbusters without warning or recompense it drove home what I already knew: my digital library was only as good as the whims of Sony. I haven’t made a purchase on their platform since.

And like you I also have Plus for a while, but I’ve noticed more offerings are starting to be PS5 only. And maybe it’s bias informing my experience but I could swear they’ve already begun enshitifying the PS4 store the same way they degraded the PS3 store when the 4 came out. They removed some of the browsing options, like browsing by category.

Oh, he’s definitely a class A scumbag. It’s unfortunate that most people just know the boulder part when there’s so much more of a lesson in morality to be gleaned from the full story.

My jobs too!

Fool of a Tûk

I read someone’s further analysis in which they describe how his punishment fits his crime. Because he outwitted death he has such supreme self confidence that THIS time he will get the boulder to the top. The only thing he has to do to break his curse is to stop.

children getting a shot. Instead of a toy beer

I think we should stop with the toy beer. Next thing you know they’ll move on to toy heroin.

DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR MICROWAVE!

I think the reference is to male snakes having a forked penis.

I used to do that with elipses until I was scathingly mocked on a BBS when I was a teenager. It takes me longer but it did make me better at writing for others to read on the internet.

Dark web crowdsourced CEO bounty hunting?

Now we’re delving into the cyberpunk world I can get behind.

Twinsies! I use empty pallets for weight!

I did drink a lot of water but otherwise felt really good with fresh oil. I donated 32 times the first year I was diagnosed. Weekly was the most frequent I could do it, sometimes if my vitals or hemoglobin were off I would have to skip. My ferritin was 2700ng/mL when I found out. The normal range is 30-400. When I had a liver biopsy it showed my bile was carrying iron, something my hepatologist had never seen.

Once I got my ferritin down I was able to donate less often but whenever my count gets higher I have to donate more frequently. Unfortunately I no longer can see the doctor who is familiar with my case and can’t afford the time off of work to find a new doctor covered by my insurance.

It was good of Sony to bribe enough people to bring it to your attention.

Backstory: I have hemochromatosis. My body doesn’t eliminate iron like most people’s. As a result I am at risk of getting iron deposition in my organs; most commonly the liver and kidneys are affected.
The simple treatment for hemochromatosis is therapeutic phlebotomy; bloodletting. When my ferretin (iron) count in my blood gets high I have to donate blood to get it lower. This wouldn’t be an issue except I need to do so weekly/bi-weekly and not the requisite waiting period blood donor centers require.
Because of this I have to get ‘therapeutic phlebotomies’ ordered by my hepatologist.

I could not afford to pay my entire balance with the healthcare provider my doctor’s office is part of. Their system would not allow me to make a partial payment and would not allow me to check in for my appointment unless I paid the amount in full ($450+). Because of this I could not attend my doctor’s visit and because we did not have a visit they cannot prescribe the routine maintenance my condition requires.

TLDR: I have a genetic condition with one of the easiest treatment plans which is giving my blood away, something that saves lives, but I cannot receive treatment because I cannot pay my full balance with the healthcare provider.

You think people partied hard for the Rodney King verdict?

This would be insane.

TLDR: if you can’t conceive of a reason to need weapons it is because you have noy encountered a person for whom no other options exist to influencce their behavior.
