You don’t like playing the swipey game?

Sometimes I will take my single friends phones and I will swipe for them b/c they all hate it as well. :joy:

I think we’ll all find someone when they just kinda fall into our lives. Dating apps seem forced and are basically ā€œPay to Winā€ with their subscription models. As someone who experienced one or two I just didn’t like how it made me feel. It’s basically swiping left or right on slabs of meat and the more conventionally attractive you are the more of a chance you have.

That and theres a lot of objectification that goes both ways regardless of the persons sex. It just blows up ā€œhookup cultureā€ and ruined dating for a lot of people.

I’m getting out of hospital today. Will be nice to get out of hospital. Starting a 6 week course of tablet antibiotics. Getting a check up in 2-3 weeks.

Just be nice to get home. Starting to get home sick.

My wife had to travel to New Jersey the other day and is flying back right now. She’s freaked out a bit, and so am frankly, not just by our general discomfort in flying, but she’s on one of the planes that have been getting bad attention lately for falling apart during flights, and the way back is expected to encounter bad turbulence and storms. Gonna be hard to focus until I hear that she safely lands. Also hope she doesn’t panic herself into a heart attack or something.

EDIT: She made it. Can relax at last.

I went to Rosslyn Chapel today in Midlothian to visit a friend who was in the area, so we decided to have lunch at the cafe there. Afterwards I went and explored the chapel, it is exceedingly beautiful. It took 40 years to build. Some very interesting carvings, like one depicting the seven deadly sins. There are also two pillars inside the chapel, one which is lovely but plain made by a master sculpter. The master sculpter would leave to travel for inspiration. His apprentice would have a dream and carve the other pillar the master was meant to do, which is exceedingly beautiful. It has 8 dragons at the bottom, a possible nod to the tree of Yggdrasil. The person who commissioned the chapel family was from Norway. (Might be of interest @Norseman ?) Legend goes anyway, the master sculpter returned, and was so stunned by the beauty of the pillar that we kill his apprentice with a mallet in a fit of rage. He would be hanged for his crimes and as punishment, a carving of his face would be made to face the apprentice pillar to taunt him. Or at least, as legend goes anyway.

Rosslyn Chapel is famous for featuring at the end of The Da Vinci Code, apparently the place gets international visitors because of it which is nice.

As Steven Wright said, I’m experiencing amnesia and Deja vu at the same time: I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Keep in mind if Trump gets re elected at the very least after four… long probably most likely societal damaging years he can’t get re elected for a 3rd term.

22nd amendment is a little funky though so who knows what things he might pull.

I mean apart from the fact that he’s shown no regard for the Constitution, expressed admiration of the world’s autocrats, joked he’d ā€œonly be dictator on day 1ā€, and believes the position of president shields him from legal consequences, hmm, I wonder what stunts he’ll try to pull if he’s ever allowed back in office.

The way this country is going at the moment, I wouldn’t be surprised if ā€œsomeoneā€ did ā€œsomethingā€ regardless of who wins this election. I live in Arizona where ā€œscary Kari Lakeā€ is running for senator. Of course she’d have to step down from being governor (in her mind) if she wins…

Just like the mayor of Rosemont had to step down when he won a seat in the IL Statehouse…

The first line cracks me up. He’s one of the highest paid mayors IN THE COUNTRY and he is mayor of a village of less than 5,000 people.

Me, absolutely in love with chickens: :star_struck:

Video Games with ā€œChickenā€ mechanics: :sob: :cold_sweat:

Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain
You can find the Chicken Hat options menu, under game settings. With the Chicken Hat on you will not be detected by enemies even if you enter their vision, works 3 times and then they spot you. The downfall to using it is you can only get an A ranking maximum on a mission.

Resident Evil 4 Remake
To get the Chicken Hat, the player should beat a New Game on Hardcore difficulty in under five and a half hours. This will give them the S+ rank, making the Chicken Hat available in the Extra Content Shop for 2,000 CP.

I just want a cool cluckin’ hat. Why’d they have to penalize you or make your playthrough miserable just to get it? :sob:
