I'm sitting on the ivory coast, eating vermillion snapper. War is all I think about.

I got a paddling for calling a student teacher "Mr. Ummmm... Dude" bc I couldn't think of his name. The actual teacher said that was the equivalent of him calling me an asshole.

Also

I got suspended because we were selling cookbooks for some event and I didn't pay attention to the price. I asked someone before I left for the day and they lied and told me double the price. It was 5 he said 10. I learned from a friend that I was told wrong the next day after it came up I sold my mom's bf one for 10. Principal overheard and I got suspended for 3 days. The art teacher that was in charge of the event told me I "disgusted her" and to get out of her sight.

I could probably go on. School was dumb.

Either that or they were brought to places where they didn't have predators. Either way, it's definitely our fault. We love fucking up natural habits.

I am anti gun in almost every way, but I know where I live, deer populations get out of control. I've never hunted, nor do I have any desire to, but the fact is that if we didn't cull the deer population periodically, they would breed themselves into starvation and cause who knows what kinds of damage to themselves and their ecosystem.

As unfortunate as it is, it's a thing that has to be done for their own good and for the good of this area. I'm sure it's like that in lots of places with lots of different species.

This right here. Only downside is I have gotten distracted and forgot to go get my food without the beeping to summon me, but overall it's definitely been a net positive.

By that logic, no inanimate objects should show up either. I'd look in a mirror and would see behind me through the back wall and all the way to my neighbors inside their now invisible soulless house, and all neighbors beyond. It'd just be a bunch of people at various distances in my mirror line of sight in an infinite void behind me as far as the eye can see. And we'd all appear naked.

I came to say this. Holy hell it's brutal.

Me and that same cousin got together and played it again 3 or 4 years back and got to 99. The grind at max level is just too strong to keep my interest. He, however, got into the ffxi horizon fan server that's pretty much exactly like original XI, but with some QOL additions and an added hardcore mode. He got summoner to level 75 in hardcore mode and died like 2 days later. You don't lose your character, but there are some cool items you get from hitting certain level milestones that you do lose. One of which was a ring with a teleport spell on it that had unlimited charges and only like a 20 minute cool down that you get st 75. It also does a server wide announcement when a hardcore character that high dies, so everyone was messaging him. He got super bummed and quit.

Me and my cousin played FFXI starting in the beta. I got the game for free at official launch and we played for a long time. But the greatest moment of gaming excitement is when we got the peacock charm drop from a super rare NM. I'm pretty sure it was the rarest, most valuable item in the game at the time. The NM was deep in a maze, and had a huge spawn window. I think it was something like an IRL week or something, and even if you managed to tag it from the countless other players camping it, you still had a very low chance of the drop.

I spent the night at my cousins one weekend and we went to bed one night after camping it for hours and left our characters logged in at the spawn point so we could check the combat logs to see if anyone got it while we were asleep. When I woke up, it had not spawned, but my cousin had already got up and left the cave. I was surprisingly alone in that room for the first time ever. No other players. After about 30 minutes, it spawns. I'm alone, and not strong enough to kill it by myself. My cousin somehow managed to make it from Jueno to the maze (like at least a 10 minute run) before anyone else showed up, and we got the kill and the drop.

We were literally screaming and high fiving so hard that his step mom thought we had won the lottery or something.

We both put it on at least once just to say we had, and sold it for more money than we'd ever imagined. We then bought the best gear for our characters and felt like gods.

Never even made it to max level, but holy crap nothing has ever come close to that level of excitement in or out of a game.

I was afraid I'd typed that all out for nothing. Lol.

The theme song literally says she's the toughest fighter.

Yeah, she was the bad ass.
