I own an LGS and during covid I had a lot of “paying it forward” and it created a LOT of extra work for me for very little pay out.
I had a friend from high school who now lives 2200 miles away. He purchased a game through my online shop and instead of shipping it to him he had me give it to someone local. That person bought a game, and did the same thing. This went on for two weeks or so. Everyone wanted me to do some kind of contest for their game. I was putting in 2-3 hours of work for $20 or so. After two weeks or however long it was, I gave up. I told the last person who bought it I gave it to a random person.
This was all during the lock down so I could not even be open at the time. I had to hand deliver the prize around town, or set up a place for them to pick it up. I loved the idea of it all, but it was not worth it on my end at all.
Never heard of him.

Mlem on iOS just got a 2.0 beta release and it is really nice (still some bugs but it is a beta)
Alton brown has a really good meatloaf ketchup recipe. I used to make it for burgers before I went vegetarian.
there is no button to view the rules I can see on mobile.
Sure there is, go to lemmy.ml and then click the sidebar button. That will expand the rules for the instance.
I use my toe knife to chip away at all the dried smegma under my foreskin. Then I dunk my pp in a jar of bleach.
No, but I did briefly play there. It was an Aber MUD hosted at the university in my home town.
Is it though?
Every artist, performer and creator on Patreon is about to get screwed out of 30% of their gross revenue, which will be diverted to Apple
Yes, it makes it sound as though everyone is about to start losing the 30% to Apple No matter how their subscribers pay. Which if you read patreon’s blog post you will see is not the case.

Joe Dirt is a fantastic movie.
I had to climb the ladder I had out from when she was up there earlier. I had to park a block away from the shop, so I had to carry her all that way. Her claws were sunk into my chest, but I knew if I tried to adjust her any she would have jumped down and run off. I got to my truck, and then minutes later my wife showed up with a cat carrier. I keep a carrier in the shop now, just in case of an emergency.
I did not live far from the shop. Shortly after i room this picture i went home and then got the call the shop was on fire. I rushed back to get her. I told the fire fighters they could help me, or watch me, but would have to arrest me to stop me from getting her out. I found her in this exact spot. (There was no fire inn my suites, only smoke)
This feels to me like a change that if you do not like it you can choose to ignore it.
2001 was when we got married. We met in 95. I was not looking for a date at the time. I be was playing a text based game, meet someone and we starting chatting. When I asked her on the first date it was mostly a joke as we were going to be in town at the same time.
Rural New Mexico. If you are in that area, or plan to be dm me and I will share more info.
Great action shot of Murph. His fur reminds me of Polly.
Back in late 2019 my son found a cat and started to bring her into the shop after school. She passed in mid 2020. We had a stray cat that had been living under our house since 2016. She started wanting to come inside but Daisy, and my wife’s cat (who has since passed) did not like this cat. So I brought her into my shop, which was mostly closed at the time because of COVID. She mostly hid from customers, until I moved to a new location in 2021. Then she became a huge fan of people and would follow customers around for pets. My neighbor had a fire in the suite in April 2023 and the shop cat (Polly) had to move in at home. She passed unexpectedly in August of 23. The vet is unsure of the cause of death.
The day of the fire I was my shop (I was closed that day) visiting Polly waiting for my daughter to be done with work so I could drive her home. Polly was up on the wall, she had never been up there before this. I think the fire was already burning but not enough for me to notice.
I think Iraq has a similar climate to the desert where I live. Having grown up in the desert of the US, I have always wanted to visit other deserts to see how other cultures deal with the heat/dryness firsthand.
Beyond that and the obvious war news I do not know too much about Iraq.
