My SSID has always been “InfectedWithVirus”.

My wife and I are both introverted. (and I have some social anxiety in certain situations)

We met on a dating site called “OurTime”. I can’t speak for it now, as that was 15 years ago, but it’s a site geared towards people 45 years and up, who don’t want to deal with the bullshit of other dating sites.
(neither of us were 45 at the time, but that didn’t seem to matter)

We have similar interests and that made it easy to start conversations. We talked back and forth for a week or two, and then started voice calls for about a week before actually going on a date.
We didn’t rush things along and just took things as they came, and got married about three years later.

Obviously pink.
I don’t see any stipulation that says I can only use my power only once.

But didn’t we all say the same things the first time around? Dead to say, but nothing stuck then, and nothing will stick now.

That just made the mental image 10x worse.

No, but that’s still a bit too shiny and white for my tastes.

And then the first time you learned about T9. Game changer.

Actually you wouldn’t. Dead billionaires generally pass along their money, so one, or more, billionaires would take their place.

Money doesn’t get distributed (unless the billionaire wanted this) to those in need.

“They are tricksy, false, wicked, clever fucking hobbitses!”

I had to get a recumbent due to pain issues with a regular upright bicycle seat. I’ve owned a couple of them over the past 20 years or so, and they’re great.

It’s for real big dick alpha males.

small dick alpha males. FTFY

To be brutally honest, I’m sure there is a lab somewhere cooking up a new virus that will be even harder to fight off.
Once the CDC guardrails are completely gone, said virus is ‘accidentally’ released, killing off countless people who are unable to defend against it.

“We get rid of the sick, old, poor, infirm, or anyone else we don’t want hanging around, that means more money for us!”

I have the same question about PureVPN.
Does Pure fly under the radar, or just not as well known?

I’ve been using it for years and never any problems.

Well, they say the investigation is ongoing, but they were awfully quick to call unintentional.

The fire has now officially been called “an accident”.

Someone should check the bank account of the fire marshall. In betting there was a nice looking deposit.

Scramm was folded into other characters, with Stebbins getting his bad cold and Olson getting his wife, which the core group promises to care for if any of them win.

Scramm getting pneumonia was drawn out for quite a while in the book, but Stebbins having the cold was barely a single sentence in the movie dialog.

There were other instances where character traits in the book were melded into different characters in the movie, but that was to be expected. There’s only so much you can do in a 90 minute movie.

Why do the walkers sign up for it? Some weird national pride. With the screwed up direction the country has taken in the story, entering the lottery for the possibility of representing your state in the walk is an honor of sorts.

!Is McVries dead? Yes, but not by the hands of the soldiers.
With him killing The Major, he might be viewed as a trigger that starts an uprising in the country, and if he is killed, he dies as a martyr to the cause.
I do think that he would soon likely commit suicide due to PTSD and extreme survivor’s guilt!<.

I finally had a chance to see this in the theater.
Wow.

I’ve read the book quite literally countless times, so I was fully aware of what to expect.
Some of the characters didn’t fit my mind view at all, Hank Olson for one, and the characters weren’t nearly as fleshed out as in the book, but that is to be expected.
With what they had to work with, I think it was all done very well.

!It was the whole twist with McVries and an expansion of his background that really worked for me. Usually I don’t like it when a movie makes radical changes from the book, but I really liked this ending. The Major shooting Garraty coupled with McVries changing his wish due to the pain he felt in that moment was huge. Absolutely brilliant.!<
