Anyway tldr I'll never match the valor my Grandfather displayed on the battlefield in Europe. And frankly, I don't want to. I'd rather emulate the life he led after the war, raising a family, having hobbies, volunteering in the community. I think maybe more GWOT vets should consider this approach

Remember back in the mid-00s when Nickelodeon totally didn’t make a show about a trans girl superhero?

"PC is the best, and that includes the best at being the worst sometimes." I am reminded of the time I sat down to play on my Steam Link (I hadn't used in eons) and had to wait for updates, truly the console experience.

Honestly, it's one of those crosses the line twice type things that go so far, it becomes funny instead of offensive. Yeah, we killed thousands of people, caused an energy crisis, and destabilized an entire region. But do you really want your kid to have a stuffed shark and programmer socks?

LRS For real, like how I have a compass in a "grenade pouch" being able to have a diaper bag that securely fits everything you might need with quick access and no digging is perfect, it's a shame that a pile of Dads will use one out of fear of otherwise looking "weak" with a cutesy diaper bag

I always liked that I could actually fit a Switch into a pocket, even if I never really did that. (I still use the 3DS for that, which also fits into rifle magazine pouches, which almost feels like a handheld design conceit for Nintendo up until the Switch)

Alien was very good btw, I just kept waiting for it to become more action less horror. I finished Alien and left my VCR recording to also grab Aliens while I went to bed, and then watched it the next evening. Once I learned to record late night TV for the next day I felt like a true genius

LRS I caught the last half of Aliens on AMC and loved it, saw that after the next unrelated movie AMC was playing it again, and stayed up and spent the first half of Alien thinking "dang this is bad for the crew, hopefully the Marines show up soon!" before "Now: Alien. Next: Aliens." "Oh!"

Thinking about "plus they'll probably have to deal with Godzilla at some point".
"Tried to watch 'Shin Godzilla" on the plane only to realize by the end of the movie that it actually a drama movie called 'Tears for you'. Words can't describe the feeling of watching an incredibly sad movie while constantly thinking: 'Damn... This is depressing. Plus, they'll probably have to deal with Godzilla at some point too...'"

What follows are four screencaps (presumably from "Tears for You"), showing a smiling woman (subtitled "I really love you."), a distant image from above of axwonsn in a white dress (subtitled"Thank you... for raising me."), a short-haired person weeping, and finally, an apprehensive woman (subtitled "living happily.")

People act like "Cancel Culture" can never be appeased, but the truth is if your current words & actions show growth, a simple "Yeah, that old stuff was bad. I regret it and I am sorry for it." is genuinely enough to end a "controversy" before it's even begun. Too many people can't manage that tho.
