I mean, some octopodes are pretty small. The real issue is them moving through the GI tract. They might be flexible enough, but propelling themselves forward consistently would be the real feat.

I can’t be the only one who saw that coming

I’m surprised you can visualize it so well. I didn’t see them coming, though the title did give insight into the plot twist.

To the first, yep, it definitely won’t work. It’s too bad we know the addresses of the actual assholes doing all this, but (nearly) all protesting is carried out in… some other stratosphere of the vicinity.

As for the second? Yup. I’ve got three dependents to take care of and various other people who I help out. There’s no way I can contemplate letting them all suffer if something happened to my income. We’re wage slaves.

Too easy, frankly, and the awesome ways you can modify yourself don’t match with Dark Souls. Actually having significant, meaningful differences in your combat isn’t Dark Souls.

Half /s

In Hawaii it’s quite funny to see, because it if can be reached, it can be taken. So there are these hilarious fellas who have these baskets on long poles, and at the end of it there’s this little hand/grabber thing. They reach out as far as they can over the fence, press the button at the bottom, and fwoomp! There goes the fruit from the tree into the basket. I remember my cousin staking out avocados waiting for them to get ripe.

Oh, just insert whatever you remember from reddit. Replies that are obviously jokes but off topic, mimicking a meme or such; doing the ‘follow the link’ meme (though I only remember that one popping up once or twice); sounding out a sentence one word per reply… I saw all of those get panned or promoted. Some people screamed about leaving such habits at reddit, others thought they were the height of humor.

That’s been a welcome change in the last ~6 months. It was a fire hose blast of people going back and forth on whether a ‘thing’ was brought over from reddit, and whether or not it was welcome.

For anyone not believing this, go to https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/consumer and do that consumer report. They are (depending on your state) required to tell you everything they have on you, and they include where it came from. It’s eye-opening.

Sure, facebook has been doing it for years. They build shadow profiles on people, allegedly ‘only’ (massive air quotes around that one) so if those people ever join they’ll have links and photos and such already waiting for them.

The dose makes the medicine though, as usual.

It’s like gold, you bite it and see if it’s soft.

Damn you. Cannot unsee.

It definitely counts as an unreasonable change. If you quietly accept it, or quit due to it, you won’t get the help. If you set things up in your favor by replying to the mandate with language along the lines of ‘such a significant change to working conditions requires a renegotiation of my contract’ then you’re placing yourself in a good position to say that you were constructively dismissed, not that you quit.

A change from working wherever you are (which could be hours away if you were full remote) to the office is just as significant as being moved from one metropolis to another.

How is this a bad thing? You’re looking from the top at an alien who has the lord simba tattooed on the scalp. That’s the sort of alien I want coming to earth. They’ll be singing and dancing, interacting with the wildlife, and returning earth to nature as they use the set-phasers-to-kill setting on their happy guns.

You forgot the ‘lots’ portion. It was not a small amount of liquid.

It’s too late, they get the breeding stuff stamped into them early. Channel vladimir putin, from his house in russia right to yours by way of conservative talk radio!

Aye, I put the garlic butter on the bread halfway through the toasting process, and it is beautiful.

Holy crap, 3500 games‽ I thought I was bad with 1/10 of that and mostly low play hours. I wish I had your organization, because my factorio layout is so bad that I just gave up on trying to be small and well designed. Everything must have miles-long conveyors!

Full body workout, yes, but also a really good stretch when you want to let the other guy have his fun.

Ah, yes, mount and blade. Where not becoming a solo warrior of death horse archer is harder than not becoming a stealth archer in skyrim. If it helps, I liked to have big armies of the super ground archers and put two groups of shield infantry on the left and right of them. It seemed to work okay against horse archers.
