Post your random thoughts, questions, ideas here... I'll start
1) Have you ever watched America's Funniest Videos and wonder why the winning video is almost NEVER funny AT ALL?? We were watching some older episodes on Disney Plus and the final 3 videos are always stupid and not funny, and the worst one ALWAYS wins.. WTF..
2) How have cereal bags NOT been made with zip lock technology??
3) They need to make a container that can keep to-go french fries from getting soggy...

First time I've been unsubbed from GameTZ in over 10 years. I don't like this at all. As soon as I can swing the $20 I'll need to resubscribe ASAP.
Whoever unanimously sent me some subtime, you are awesome and very much appreciated

I wish salt had some color to it. I want it to be easier to tell how much salt is coming out of my shaker when I'm salting my eggs in the morning.

I just found out Pepsi killed Sierra Mist and launched a new lemon-lime soda with one of the worst possible names... Starry. Sierra Mist was a solid brand name, arguably better than the mainstay Sprite. Starry is the stripper brand of lemon-lime soda. Oh well, only guarantees Sprite's continued dominance.

I plan on watching it on TV now after seeing the play, with subtitles! I suck at hearing words through song, always have. I know I missed a fair amount of the dialogue but the story was very easy to follow.

Curious
Wondering if listing what I have preordered as available is okay. I usually trade my games into a certain store that will remain unnamed but would prefer trading it. For example, I have Dead Space PS5 preordered but know I will beat and trade that in fairly quickly. Alongside Resident Evil 4 and Kirby.
Also thinking if I should I toss out junk in my house to clear space or try to sell it or keep it. Doesn't really hurt to keep it but all it does it take up space.

List whatever you want but I would recommend not pending a trade until it is in hand.

(I just don't want people to profit from the free clothes. Unless they're being sold for charity, that's fine. But there are a lot of flippers in town.)Maybe try to find out if your local town/city has clothing organizations that you can donate clothes to. We've done that a couple of times here. Perfectly good clothing that people can use.

I got a message from another very obvious reseller last night, heh. I'm probably going with the churchy lady. There are no organizations like the one you suggest down here, most of this stuff is handled by churches. The one big organization I know of mostly deals with deported people and the lead guy is a corrupt SOB so I'd prefer to not mess with him.

Let's see how this story unfolds as it's not looking good for the gentleman that unfortunately passed away.
-alleged to have caused the accident
-tried to flee at least twice
-not complying with officer multiple times even with the officer being flexible on where he sat down.
-testing positive for cocaine
A loss of life is always tragic, but law and order is important for everyone's safety and this, at first blush, looks like it could have been avoided.

Caused the accident, maybe. That doesn?t usually result in loss of life, especially considering HE flagged down the cops for help in the first place and got on his knees pleading ?I didn?t mean to?. He then attempted to flee to a more populated area after being detained for 7 minutes that the police body cam footage coincidentally stopped recording for, yelling that he wanted people to see him.He was an English teacher with a reputation of being a good, helpful dude. There was absolutely no reason to tase him for over a minute and a half straight, especially right after a car accident where one is prone to shock.
I?d say ?at first blush?, this comes off as a murder. Law and order IS important, but it seems it?s the LAPD (who have already killed 2 other people in 2023 alone) who need to start realizing that.
BUT I suppose this isn?t the place for this sort of discourse. I was just salty about it last night and won?t be dragging it out here, my bad.

I understand and your POV is exactly why I'd like to see everything. In these instances, I find that knee jerk reactions are often not good. I watched two different things of coverage on it and both were different (and neither mentioned that HE flagged down police which I think is an important part of the story).
I'm interested in the truth and not pushing agendas. Honestly, I feel that GTZ is the most likely place that would happen over other places that are just echo chambers.

Yah, I went down a rabbit hole last night looking into the whole situation and can't say this looked justified whatsoever.
On a lighter note: why the heck do my apostrophes suddenly turn to question marks when I post on the GTZ from my phone?

My phone's keyboard is often changing were to we're
If I wanted to write we're, I would write that.
And of course when I write something that's not what I want to write, the keyboard lets it go through.

My phone is doing that too. It also seems to like to change is to I'd. Protip - if the word I type is correct English, do not adjust it!

Maybe it's just me, but I get extremely nostalgic when I think about the past, and it hurts. It hurts even if it's a good thing I'm thinking about, for example like going to Toys R Us as a kid. Or going to an amusement park. Or the blanket in my grandparent's house that was so staticky that it made green sparks (it really did that). There was nothing fun about that blanket, but thinking about it hurts. I don't know why. Maybe that's what nostalgia is.
