Ha, forgot about that. Maybe this trailer just feels over the top

The first one was campy but it felt way less self-aware

This is why online discourse is so hard! Beyond the anonymity, which causes its own problems, the absence of nonverbal cues and lack of immediacy in feedback leaves a lot open to interpretation, so anything can be taken in any way.

Opinions become accusations and idle musings become absolute certainty in the vacuum of supporting information that is text-only communication. I worry that the only real solution is for people to–like you–embrace the uncertainty and gracefully admit that their interpretation could be wrong. And it seems likely that the only way to collectively get to that point is to fuck it up a lot for a long time.

Yeah, the US and Europe do DST a couple weeks apart, presumably because of latitude differences but it could also be spite, I guess.

Just to make sure I’m understanding you correctly, you’re talking about an exchange like this?

Person 1: It sure is hot today.
Person 2: I know, right?

Thinking about some other conversational ways to respond, I think saying, “It sure is, isn’t it?” or, “Don’t I know it!” feel pretty similar. I wonder what it is that makes us ask rhetorical questions like that.

Hyperaware Tater Tot

It’s so crazy that 10 million subscribers is huge by YouTube standards but practically meaningless in the larger context.

I’ve been looking into this recently because The Algorithm wanted me to (I don’t always do what The Algorithm wants, but sometimes it’s really fucking spot-on so maybe I’m just institutionalized) and I simply don’t see why this is really any different from anything else available.

Is it really that much better? Is it the same thing just with better execution? As we’ve seen time and again, popular doesn’t always mean good.

That’s a good one. I like this guy’s series on the topic

I don’t clap when planes land safely, but I’m sure I would celebrate if the train I was on landed safely!

Noooo, getting the bay leaf is lucky!

Lol, they didn’t discover shit, they’re trying to correlate data to fit some kind of fucked up narrative in a campaign against… I don’t know, but it’s probably going to include lists of the “sick” who need to be “taken care of”

They’re adding multiplayer, actually. Lots of fun to be had when everything can be destroyed. The workshop mods introduce a lot of new weapons, levels, and vehicles, too.

Haha, I thought that said “until pings work”

I bet it has a few vibrate modes

A weird form of arrogant elitism

But this will be different, everybody will pay a sort of “rent” to use this office, but it’ll be worth it because it’s so big and has bedrooms and bathrooms, and you can put your office wherever you want, and even own it if you want to

I always just mentally pronounced it neck-essary to remind myself to only use a single C. It never occurred (thanks, spell check) to me to relate it to a physical object.

Mine, of course, is “ocurr” and its iterations.

It was very in the open, but Trump said he didn’t know anything about it, so the sycophants believed him.

Are you kidding? Always dodge twice!
