I’ve had my Razer Wolverine Ultimate for over 5 years, maybe even close to a decade now and have never had any issues. It’s wired but comes with a very long detachable usb to mini usb. The original wore out but replacement was super cheap. The thumb sticks are magnetic so you can just pop them off for cleaning or replacement.

It has all the features of an Xbox elite controller and once you rebind keys it stays on the controller so no need to keep a program around.

If this gets annoying enough for you or you want the extra paddles I highly recommend.

The fact it happened so close together leads me to believe this was something discussed on group chats. I’m hoping that makes it easier to apprehend the perpetrators and also their accomplices. The wheels of justice move so slow, so all the more reason your vote is counted

I grew up behind the Orange Curtain and now live in the Inland Empire. Mercy kill please?

Fucking Redding. I’m not even surprised. SoCal and NorCal are basically two different states.

Peppers

I know you mean preppers (to the point where where my autocorrect did the same thing), but there’s some comedy to be had in imagining Jalapeños voting

Is there a way to see this as four? I’m assuming so but legitimately can’t see anything other than three. Is that the joke and I’m overthinking‽ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure if you mean exactly where in Pasadena, but I live in SoCal and had a great chuckle about it. I imagine it’s in the area south of CIT since that’s what I’d label as ‘affluent’.

I set up an auto replace on my phone so when I type ?! It’ll switch it to ‽ for me.

Stollen from Lemmy.

sigh I’m not happy I’m doing this either; maybe it’s the stress

I know the trope that this is playing on. I’m in collections myself for a lot of money for a partial heart attack scare (monitor your potassium levels!). It just feels icky to me since sexual assault of hospital patients absolutely does happen.

I guess for me it’s one thing to portray a doctor with a cheese grater (or the tens of other absurd variations on this meme) compared to an honestly more plausible sexual assault.

Then the double whammy of states just not helping women who want to carry to term but can’t.

All to say I see what the meme was aiming for, but I don’t love being raped as a punchline.

A quick rundown of The Onion brief if you missed it/it got pushed to the back with all the other bullshit that’s happened.

Immediately thought of QI

Oldie but a goldie; Some Bullshit Happening Somewhere

It’s just so amazingly on point

Also my favorite comic! I have a shirt using this still because my friend knew how much I loved the comic!

I wish I could find the full comic but it was basically small inconvenience leads to large rage haha

I appreciate it fellow friendly internet stranger! Luckily I’m on the other side of a lake for this, so not too much worry. Air quality is rough, but I’ve honestly gotten used to it growing up in Cali. Not the first (or likely last) time I’ve had to deal with raining ash. Closest we get to snow in our area haha

The Airport Fire is very close to me, and just crested the mountain range to be visible on our side. It’s not a CALFire Incident but thankfully they still update reports and evac zones. Fire.ca.gov is the absolute GOAT.

As someone who’s played Destiny since Beta; mood

We had a 2 drinks limit at company after hours gigs. Not that bad, but it was apparently because someone drank a bunch and then walked onto a highway. There was also the time the FBI came into the building to ask about a sales guy who took part in 1/6.

There’s a really well done VR mod for this game. It’s actually the only way I’ve played it so far. If you can run Steam VR I highly recommend it! I had to do a reinstall of some stuff so haven’t finished the game yet, but it’s been high on my ‘to-do list’.

Tangential but also relevant; I worked in a larger construction company until a year ago and it was multi state. Imagine my surprise when word spread that the FBI was looking for an employee in another department regarding 1/6. Before Jan 6 he had been filmed jumping up on a table at the local Costco with a megaphone and spewing filth.

There are always signs.
