  • Random, but I got my first tattoo on the inside of my forearm and my wife loves it because she can see it while I drive. I got it before I even met her, but it worked out in my favor lol.

    Definitely pick a spot based on the tattoo you want. Mine fit best horizontally because it’s clipped from a Calvin & Hobbes panel. Like others have mentioned, if you’re shy about having one, consider something easily covered vs somewhere less painful.




  • I used to work at Geek Squad, and pranks are sorta ingrained into the culture. As a bit of background, our job title was “CIA”, for Counter Intelligence Agent (as in, the “front counter” of the store). Definitely ran by nerds.

    Anyway, when you get your CIA badge (literal medal badge, dubbed a “shield”), there’s typically a ceremony, it gets presented, it’s like a badge of honor, no pun intended. So when someone got theirs, I put it in orange jello. This guy had regularly yoinked other people’s badges and would take random photos with them, it was good fun and harmless.

    To play a bit of devil’s advocate, the sense of progression for PvP comes from just getting better at the game and going from Silver to Gold, for instance. You can better learn the maps, new combos, where/when to engage the enemy, and improve muscle memory, all to fight for a better shiny badge (and probably loot drops).









  • Tulsa native here. I never learned about it in school, even in the early '00s. I was a grown ass adult before I really learned about it and everything that happened. Notably, it was always called the “Tulsa Race Riots” to downplay the atrocities. The street in Greenwood was renamed to Reconciliation Way.

    In my memory, that district never had anything going for it until recently, nobody cared. It’s been awesome to see it start to flourish. (I am not a lawyer) I really hope something can be done for the plaintiffs here, if it doesn’t fit the public nuisance law, surely there is something for the people directly affected by the events?



  • To my shame, I’m still deeply ingrained in the Google ecosystem. I settled on it like 8-10 years ago and I’m not sure how to dig myself out of this pit. More than Chrome, I heavily use Docs, Sheets, Drive, Wallet, YouTube, Gmail, I even have a Pixel (I hate how bloated Samsung is).

    I’ve used Firefox a little for work because of the nice containers feature. Is Google Drive bad too? It’s so easy to share things, I torrent a lot of books and I’ve shared with a bunch of friends, idk if there’s an alternative that others could easily use.
