I met Moot at Otakon 2007 and he was kind of a dick. But here’s a fun bit of 4chan lore - When asked why he named it 4chan, he said that he wanted an English version of 2chan, and 4chan sounded cool because it was pronounced like “fortune”. Thus the logo is a 4 leaf clover, for good fortune.
I’ve never seen this mentioned anywhere online, so I wonder if he was just making a joke.
I know you meant that this could escalate to a long war that your child may eventually be drafted into, but my initial mental image was a battalion of toddlers each carrying a Fisher Price branded “Baby’s First Assault Rifle”.
Hell yeah! Besties?
I’m glad you were able to talk things out!
Give him space for a day then sit down and have a talk to find out what’s on his mind. Something is bothering him - is it the relationship or something else?
Either way, the way he is responding here is disrespectful and he’s old enough to know better. It doesn’t take much to say “Hey babe, I need some space tonight to mentally unwind. I’ll hit you up tomorrow.” and his lack of either emotional intelligence or giving-a-single-damn is concerning.
Still, if it were me I’d focus on what’s causing his slump first, then once that it in the open (and if it’s nothing that would destroy the relationship), I’d have a discussion surrounding expectations for communication. In my past relationships we’d use “I need to burrito.” meaning that our emotional/mental energy is so low that we need to just wrap in blankets, eat snacks, and doom scroll for a few hours until we feel better. And the other partner gives space and picks up the slack until the slump is over.
A bit of give and take goes a long way, but communication is key.
What are the ages here? It’s a much different situation if these are teenagers vs 40 year olds.
I’ll give it a shot but I don’t have wild expectations. Really I’m just bummed that they canned FFXI mobile and touted this as a replacement.
Yo Viktor, what’s good man?
Nearing the 3 month mark and I pledge to not drinking with yinz today.
I’m concerned that the upcoming bus/T line removals and adjustments will negate a lot of the traffic calming efforts. A lot of people will suddenly be forced to drive when they could previously take public transportation.
When I was living in a car I’d wardrive nightly to find Wifi. This was before Wifi was commonly available in public spaces, and household routers often used a default password or no password at all. I’d use it to pirate games and movies to keep myself entertained.
Later I moved into a 4 plex apartment and convinced the neighbors to share one Internet connection. We ran ethernet through walls and across the roof and split the bill.
You really shouldn’t use your debit card for anything other than withdrawing money at an ATM. Credit cards are safer plus you get rewards.
I’ve been using the same anime torrent site for 22 years. Gonna be a sad day if it finally closes down as a result of these crackdowns.
I’m on vacation but it’s gonna storm every day. Luckily I just picked up a retro game I’ve been wanting to play, so that should keep me entertained.
Oh I understand now. Forgive the misunderstanding - in my area you can take public transit or rented bicycles to campsites. And not wanting to spend the night around eachother regardless of separate sleeping areas is valid. Maybe a walking tour of a historical area in a town or city would be nice? There’s sometimes free pamphlets or audio tours that can accompany a walking route.
Camping! Assuming that you and your friend would be fine spending the night in separate tents. Campsites are usually $30-$50 and often have pools, fishing holes, hiking trails, minigolf, etc.

7" non-OLED screen is a hard no from me, regardless of everything else.
I think it’s interesting that Microsoft is leaning into Windows on Xbox devices. It lends credibility to the rumor that the next Xbox console will run Steam natively.
Final Fantasy IX, if it’s cheap enough. I beat the game on PS1 but I’ve been itching to replay it on Steam Deck.
Maybe the Lunar remaster or Deltarune if they drop low enough, but it’s kind of doubtful because they’re both new.
