ok but it increases the chance that he might actually drop dead on camera, which would be pretty cool the consequences would probably be disastrous but we'll get to tell our kids that we saw it happen so who can say if it's bad or not

last year I watched all the Star Warses with my wife, who had somehow never watched any of them, and she thought Jedi was the worst of the lot (including the prequel and sequel trilogies) which is a harsh take but I have to respect it

Okay, it's objectively true that McGurk has been "working at the highest levels of diplomacy through some of the region's most consequential moments". And if you like the work he's done and you think things are going well in "the region", vote Cory Booker to get more of that incredible diplomacy!

there's a locksmith in my neighbourhood called Viva Zapata and I know who I'm going to the next time I need my locks changed

my only thought here is, "damn I need to get new glasses"

too hot here for that here unfortunately. I will simply allow my bits to whither and die, as god intended.

oh shit, it's him! if you see him let him know that they have his comically oversized dildo at baggage claim 8

yeah I was in the airport and they called for "that guy with the skeleton avatar" and then "no not that guy, the other one"

maybe we need a new bill of rights that's just every article of the original bill of rights but appends "but for real though"

it seems like a big problem that state governments are allowed to get away with this "I'm not touching you" level bullshit. yeah we're not allowed to torture you but as long as nobody puts it in writing say "we're torturing you" we can do whatever.

well I guess when Russ Vought gets in a giant mecha suit and destroys every city on the west coast we can't say he didn't warn us

every time I don't pick up a call from an unknown number I think a bit about "what if it was an old friend who got my number somehow and wants to get in touch" but the spam calls are relentless. we probably shouldn't have let an entire channel of communication be occupied by pirates. oh well.

see I was thinking that it does sound like something a Newfoundlander would say "fook it brah. send it"

I guess the TSA is only interested in people blowing up the plane on purpose and if you set it on fire accidentally that's somebody else's jurisdiction

this post based on my experience the other day of sitting at the gate and thinking, "oh shit I forgot that you're not supposed to put batteries in your checked bags". but then when I arrived my bag had one of those "searched by TSA" tags in it but the battery was still there.

110

ok shit I got through security and then remembered that I packed a bunch of malfoid in my checked luggage. hope they don't search my bag I guess.

I was so obsessed with frosted mini wheats as a kid that one year I dressed up as a mini wheat for Halloween (burlap sack painted white on one side, easy costume but no one knew what the fuck I was supposed to be)

I have had multiple people tell me that they need a giant truck/SUV because it makes them feel safe from carjacking or whatever and there's something interesting there about the intersection between Big Car culture and the media making people panic about violent crimes that barely exist

I have actually done this for my 2-year old. the boy just wants noodle.

I got yelled at during a college internship for submitting giant PRs with a bunch of unrelated bullshit and it was a learning experience that made me a better dev and now apparently giant diffs are becoming a point of pride among AI-empowered developers and that seems bad probably

0300

this happens to me all the time merely because I am in fact stupid and my jokes are not funny

120

hits extra hard if you were the annoying communist in college

0170

I am not doing okay how fucking dare you say that I'm doing okay

I am in America and I am at my most antisocial from 2am - 4am so that checks out

110

hard agree. I just landed back in Los Angeles after a week visiting family up north and how is it this fucking hot in October. Iran should build a nuke specifically so they can nuke this hellhole.

maybe AI is a long con to make other shitty exploitative business models seem tame and wholesome by comparison

Mine likes to say "be careful" to himself while doing something he knows is dangerous so that's... maybe working? Unclear.

what kind of "ethics package" could you possibly pass that wouldn't require you to immediately impeach and prosecute Trump

I was still at the mercy of my parents with regard to OS choice and they were stubborn about that sort of thing. We were probably the last family on Earth still using ME in like 2003.

a friend in high school swam competitively and at one point his doctor told him his body fat % was dangerously low. his coach came up with a solution: at all times carry a tub of peanut butter and a big spoon, and if you ever feel even slightly hungry, dig in

no my goal is to go to my deathbed believing that I could get into jazz if I just gave it an honest chance

131

I did an internship at a tiny company and on my first day they were like "oh yeah this is the server room" and then opened the door and it was a closet with a single computer in it

040

I'm on the run from the CIA after I did a 23andMe and it turned out I have the mutant gene from X-Men

000

I liked Windows XP but I had previously been using Windows Me so an abacus would have felt like a major improvement

180

ok, I guess I will not, then

surely everyone was just voting for Bolsanaro performatively to express their discontent and now that they realize he's actually going to win they'll change their minds ...right?

050

thinking about Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the restaurant where they bring your "meal" out to the table and it tells you that it is entirely sentient and has free will and its greatest desire is to be slaughtered and eaten and if you deny it that honour it will be gravely insulted

I enjoyed it overall but it definitely has the issue where the movie wants you to root for the couple even though it is extremely obvious that they should get a divorce.

Trejo has always kinda been a "I'll take any job that pays" type of actor but yeah this is maybe one you take a pass on no matter how good the money is

I used to live a block from a CoCo Ichibanya and I miss it dearly I still work kinda nearby but just a little too far to justify the trip for lunch

the one near me has everything locked up and usually only one person working so you'll be waiting in line at the cashier and they keep getting up to unlock the Q-tips or whatever I still go to pick up my prescriptions but have given up on attempting to buy anything else there

030

I mean it's pretty much a perfect episode

I definitely recognize the avatar but I have zero memories associated with it. like when you see a face in a crowd and you know you know them but you can't remember if it's an old coworker or somebody from high school.

000

ok this one I actually know, because the Sirius XM station that my wife usually listens to played it so incessantly that she got annoyed and switched to Radio Margaritaville

ok to be fair it is reasonable to hold your applause until after you've seen the film

they should form the nugget goo into a chicken shape so it looks like a whole fried chicken but then you bite into it and it's nugg
