Man, the soundtrack of the original Lemmings is indelibly etched into my brain -- cheery MIDI tracks of everything from classical music to folk tunes.

oooo, that's a missed opportunity

^^ i think this is pretty fucking insightful, yeah

Oh my god, TIL -- thank you, brother, I've apparently been doing this incorrectly for years.

>> woke region of cascadia

i lol'd, but is there an unwoke region of cascadia?

Oh man, you say that and the synthesized harpsichord just started playing in my head <3

Seconded, my good sir!

>> house, boat, golf carts, kids in private school, decent cars, take multiple vacations

PNW dweller here, ^^^ this feels _insane_. average private school tuition for a single child is above $25k, nevermind kids pural! :O

lol, brother, was that worth the throwaway? You're already flagged to hell.

This game is more Golden Age of Piracy piracy than Barbary Corsair piracy -- in fact, many pirate crews engaged in proto-democracy (well before it was fashionable!) and flatly condemned slavery.

Well met, fellow Uplinker!!

i like that a lot, brother, thank you!

Hack the planet! <3

Ooooph, brother :(

I'm sorry, are you me?? This tracks my story (minus the WGU stint) almost exactly.

We're even the same age, it's spooky!

<<side with Canada and Mexico>>

can confirm!

also, TIL the word "litotes" -- thank you, brother!

"super not great" IS a real feeling :)

(fellow PNWer, I'd never before thought of this as a regional thing!)

An eternal classic, brother, well done!

This is such an odd position to create a burner account to argue...

heroin is the drug, heroine is the damsel :)

It can be both! :D

I'd never considered this before, thank you!

this is my approach, as well, lol

This is fascinating, thank you for sharing! I suspect that we humans will never fully comprehend or appreciate how beautifully complex and interconnected our ecosystems truly are.

Noooo, the 44th attempt felt amazing and I needed my crest :D

Savage Beastfly killed me 43 times in a row. :/
