At the risk of ending my free ride... it's deeply funny to me that these massive companies are just so bad at basic business that I *still* have access to Disney+ Premium through Verizon despite having moved off Verizon *years* ago.

Genuinely hard to say which one flipped the switch. Battle Chess was my intro to "wait, you can games on computer?" but Maniac Mansion and Myst really locked in that games could be super engaging.

A screenshot of Battle Chess, a 5-1/4" floppy era game with the pieces rendered as characters that would walk between spaces and have unique animations for each type of capture. A blue pawn is attempting to kick a pink knight right in the junk.

A screenshot from Maniac Mansion, a side-scrolling classic adventure game. Ed (a strange teal-skinned, bespectacled man wearing what looks like military cosplay) is standing on the porch of a house yelling at Dave, a super generic player character in jeans and a jean jacket. "Now get out of here!"

A screenshot from the main island of Myst. A model ship floats in a small pool in the foreground. A path leads straight from it to a small classic revival building with four columns flanking a dark wood door. Lining the path, set back several feet to either side are freestanding columns with strange mechanisms in front of them, facing the path.

Discovering yet *another* reason people should be getting off that platform like

A screenshot of Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition sketch. It's from the moment where Michael Palin must keep adjusting up the total number of weapons he possesses because he keeps remembering one more thing... ultimately choosing not to give a number but instead to say "amongst our weaponry" (with heavy emphasis on "amongst").

The subtitle has been replaced with "amongst our reasons..."

It may have been a different era, but there were always signs I was gonna be a bit of a disaster.

A guy in a long-forgotten band tee and a zip front hoodie with a red hood liner splayed wide. He has shaggy, unkempt hair swooped up and back like a cockatoo's crest, side-eyeing the camera like the sort of self-conscious person who can't just take a normal selfie because he might look ridiculous, so instead he makes the ridiculousness deliberate in an extremely transparent to cover it up.

Literally. This was a rich orange all through, but all that gets captured of the actual orb is this indistinct off-white 🥲

A photo of the sun setting, its arc just barely beginning to dip behind the peaks of the Front Range, surrounded in an intense red glow as it burns through multiple layers of clouds attempting to obscure it (and one cheeky streak that manages to stay visible).

I did grow up during A Certain Era.

Cover art for the Dinotopia TV series, showing three protagonists in some sort of vaguely focused adventury pose alongside a Stenonychosaurus and a flying Pteranodon. In the lower half, a pair of sinister T-Rexes gaze off at Waterfall City in the background.

You're a wonderful person and it's a pleasure to trade goofy replies with you. 💜

Mary Jane Watson (as portrayed by Kirsten Dunst) looks in Peter Parker's (Tobey Maguire) eyes while on the verge of tears. "Tell me the truth... I'm... I'm ready to hear it."

Peter looks back at her placidly. The subtitle has been blacked out by hand and instead says "beef jerky is just cow raisin."

Mary Jane closes her eyes, now even closer to tears.

I'm also missing any references to hell.. although I do have this picture of a White Claw machine and that's pretty on theme.

A claw machine filled with (presumably empty and redeemable at the bar) cans of White Claw. Not an inch of it is missing branding.

"Travel here to see tasks" motherfucker I *did*.

A trimmed screenshot of the SkyCards game. A pin for Denver International Airport is selected. A panel at the top reads "weekly tasks: travel here to see tasks (0 of 6)." A glowing icon of a person (indicating me, the player) is at the lower left, within the airport outline.

Feel like trash but at least I have company.

This user (a guy with greying hair and an annoying aversion to smiling) swaddled up on a couch with a black void of a cat snuggled up next to him.

With apologies to @smbccomics.bsky.social (original: www.smbc-comics.com/comic/aaaah)

In comic form:

A person thinks for a moment, then speaks. The speech bubble's content has been replaced with "<the inane bullshit relevant to this thread>".

The unfortunate recipient of said inane bullshit begins screaming ("AAAA!") continuing on for hundreds of characters, across four successive panels... as the screamer's composure progressively deteriorates into a manic unfocused howl.

That moment when the dipshit actually says something kind of correct.

A screenshot of the quoted user replying to Cricket, ending with "if yo don't want to be treated like a raging idiot, than don't act like one."

It's partially dimmed and harder to read, because the Block Account dialog is pulled up indicating how the quoted user is about to be treated.

Every month I check it, and every month it confirms my suspicion that this is 100% not a monthly activity.

Seems so! developers.cloudflare.com/cache/cache-...

A Google search for "configure cors in cloudflare". The top result (above Gemini, even!) is a documentation page published ht CloudFlare about CORS.

A screenshot of a section on the CloudFlare documentation page from the previous screenshot. The section is titled "Add or change CORS headers on CloudFlare" and has three bullet points for different places CORS can be configured inside their platform. The third bullet is for "Transform Rules," which is what the blog post's writer needed.

I'm only two weeks late to the party, but this was too perfect a moment to not snap a pic.

At the BMtH/MiW/TPiY show. Somebody has gathered *the cups* and the crowd is losing their mind. Event staff had to remove it.

A small stack of cups the size of a large stack of cups.

To be specific: a stack of cups so tall that, laid over it's taking five full adults to carry it away (not including a smaller stack that broke off and is being carried by a sixth).

It's not. It's a bit. It's not a good one, but it's at least not sincere.

LinkedIn shitpost by Stephen Watson (this whole thing is full of excessive line breaks and formatting choices).

Today, lost £10,000 gambling. And smiled. Here's why 👇
6 months ago, I proactively became a gambling addict: Horse races, Slot machines, Texas Holdem Poker. l embraced the lifestyle aggressively. Sure, it cost me a fortune. But here's what realised: It's not just a way to escape my crushing failures as a husband and father. It's a wholesale mindset shift ✔️
After 20 years in IT sales, I know as well as anyone, that pressure creates diamonds. As a gambling addict, l'm always in debt. Which means I need to earn more money. This pushes me to hustle and grind way more. Every crushing failure at the Blackjack table reminds me I need to work smarter AND harder. It's a subtle reminder that I'm not doing enough. I could be selling more, Building faster, Sleeping less. Gambling addiction isn't just destroying my relationships. It's quietly improving my work ethic, and ensuring I remain focused and sharp.
It's a bulletproof strategy for leadership success ✔️
I trust you agree?
