As an old person who plays Genshin Impact, the “character banners” are 100% loot boxes. They have a pity system which guarantees a five star character after 100 “wishes” but even then it may not be the character you wanted. You might have to “wish” up to 200 times to get the five star character you are “wishing” for on the banner. Since you are not buying the character out right and gambling to get them it’s a loot box.

For anyone who doesn’t play “character banners” are a limited run (3 weeks) of a five star character that you can only get from the banner. “Wishes” are like rolls for the character. Each wish you lose gives you either a weapon (3 star/practically useless in game) and every 10 wishes gurantees a four star weapon or four star character.

I did it with a feather, two eggs, and a barrel of molasses.

I jokingly accuse my partner of stealing my glasses when I lose them. I just put them down in random places and am then too blind to find them again. A few days ago I told my partner I lost my glasses and he blamed ME for stealing my own glasses!! How can I steal my own glasses??

I grew up in FL and had a “pet” opossum for a while. Her mom was hit by car when she was a baby and she crawled up to our front door during a rain storm. My mom was heart broken when she realized what happened so she let us keep her till she was old enough to be released. She was super cuddly and would crawl up on your neck and lick your hair. We partially potty trained her using dog pee pads. The only down side is she liked to borough in our couch so we had to move the couch often and clean it out.

Once she was an adult we would let her out at night when other opossums in the neighborhood were around. She usually came back in the morning and would eat a bunch of food. One day she didn’t come back so I hope she integrated with the local opossums and lived a happy life.

It’s been a really long time since I read “The Three Musketeers” but I loved the way they described the duels. I also love the way sword duels from that time period are portrayed in movies. Fencing is also something I enjoy watching everytime the Olympics comes around.

The house I grew up in had two trees in the front yard. We would tie string (probably a thin nylon rope) between the trees and hang sheets/blankets on the string, creating a “fort”. All the neighborhood kids would hang out there in the summer and we had so much fun pretending it was a fort, spaceship, bus, etc.

I hope this is figurative but I’m scared it’s literal.

I used to think the same but I recently decided to embrace my curly hair and the way you use certain shampoos/conditioners can be different. I’ve had to read the instructions each time I try a new brand to make sure I don’t ruin my hair.
