Candy Crush Saga addiction, uncertainty, and annoyance

I had received so many requests to play the game Candy Crush Saga, that I finally gave in and gave it a gander. It looked similar to Bejeweled Blitz, which I play every so often, so I thought at worst, I'd be able to play it every now and again to kill time.

Well, I'm currently on level 80 and I'm still not sure what I think about the game - only that it's addicting, I'm not 100% certain what I'm doing on some levels yet, and I find it slightly annoying that I (and other players alike) have to wait until three friends come to our aid to unlock certain levels and move forward in the game. Eh, why? It limits the amount of time a person can play the game and the overall participation by players on the site. Also, it can get slightly aggravating to constantly be asked to help unlock other players.

Perhaps the game's creators knew, like with candy, how addicting the game was going to be and decided to hopefully limit hardcore addiction (CCA - Candy Crush Anonymous) by forcing players to wait for a period of time at certain levels. Yeah, I'll go with that theory, because every other one ends with me saying, "Well, that's kind of stupid."

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
