@clhendricksbc My cats do that too. Of course, the youngest only does it rarely, usually she is out pouncing on everything under the sun.
@InspectorCaracal Agreed. There's also "have we made this thing *too* %$&#*@ hard to win?"
I think one of the primary tests of good game design should be "is it still fun when you lose?"
@kibi A lot of the time they do this on purpose so the posts won't "go stale." The really determined can (sometimes) find out by playing Go Fish with the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. But I agree, you really shouldn't have to.
@clhendricksbc Now that's what I call a meow mess.
Here is an adorable bundle of fur for #caturday!

@tom I once went to a movie alone. It was actually not that bad, given my frame of mind at the time.
@staticsafe Is the album worth getting?
in the future, fortune tellers will read your fortune by executing `dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/stdout bs=1024 count=1 | strings - ` on your laptop and interpreting the ascii garbage it spits out
Watching Olympic hockey - since I am unfamiliar with the flags, it took me a few minutes to figure out we were playing Slovenia, not Slovakia, because NBC decided to abbreviate the team name as SLO. This seems kind of useless. Couldn’t they use SVK and SLV or something that actually distinguishes country names?
I'd like to contribute to mastodon but I don't know anything about Ruby or React.js and am not really excited to change that...
If there was a way for me to disable content warnings, just by setting them to pre-expanded or something, that'd be really nice.
@ti Spreading awareness is one way to help out. I don't know Ruby either, and my Javascript isn't that great.
Can you write documentation? If you really want to help out, that's one way to do it.
@linhares As in, no longer offering service in your city? Agreed, that sucks, like when I found out Lyft had left Houston. Not that I use either Uber or Lyft that often..
@lnxw48a1 Maybe it's that I grew up with Whataburger, being a Texan. To be fair, Becks Prime (among others) arguably make better burgers, but with a price to match.
@lnxw48a1 As a secular humanist, I'm unnerved a bit by their use of Bible verse references on packaging. That, and I've heard Whataburger (among others) make better burgers.
Q: Is that a religious reminder of death on your forehead?
A: No it is smeared valentine chocolate.
@starbreaker @DaveHiggins You know what?
s/writing female characters and romance/playing pinball/ and I could add that to the FAQ I'm writing.
