It’s because Collin Farrell is a terrible actor that for some reason keeps getting big parts. He’s never been in anything good. In Bruge is OK despite him, and because of excellent performances from everyone else.

There is something so damned satisfying about inserting a floppy disk, that the younger generation will never know. It’s like the sound of the needle dropping onto the initial smooth surface of the vinyl record, but even more satisfying because the computer turns into a field machine for a second with all of it’s “KA-CHUNK WHRRRRRR THUNKA THUNKA THUNKA DICT DIT DIT” noises

where do you buy your tickets?

This doesn’t seem to have the trappings of a false-flag operation, or that of Kyiv, so perhaps this is an honest-to-goodness sign of revolution against that gay clown Putin? hopefully!

going primal on an orange, so unpeel, and eat it like an apple?

Can’t say I ever have. I do, however, use a little step stool to put my legs in the crouched position, and a bidet for afterwards. Use some TP to make sure there’s no barnacles, then a a set of rags I keep specifically for drying off the ol’ undercarriage since the TP isn’t going to dry it all.

Could never get used to the seashells

Man, I love the self checkout. Also didn’t they already show that rising costs everywhere WEREN’T from theft, but instead corporations artificially inflating their prices during the pandemic and then leaving it there?

Take away my self checkout, and I’ll steal out of spite

that’s already happening on just about every dating app though

we drilled too greedily, and too deep. You know what we awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum. Shadow and Flame.

I kind of thought that this is what Geothermal energy was… Or will this be Geothermal energy on steroids?

POOP FUEL CAN’T MELT STEEL JETS

I dunno. I’m pretty smart in some things, but I’ve also made some real bone-headed mistakes. Sometimes I’m rushing, sometimes I just truly don’t think about it. Sometimes while talking through what I think is the best solution, I figure out I’m wrong.

two things I’ve done.

-gotten a 3.9 GPA with honors through two years of medical school

-didn’t realize “Penn State” was in Pennsylvania until I stopped and thought about it

like, sometimes we don’t think about things enough. Sometimes we have a brain fart. Sometimes we’ve just never been introduced to a particular concept or factoid (being ignorant).

I think the only true stupidity is when people don’t learn from their mistakes, when people refuse to update their ideas to fit new facts, and when people remain willfully, maliciously ignorant as a point of pride.

easier to a fool a man, than it is to convince him he’s been fooled.

omg you had an angry older customer actually admit a mistake? what’d you do, place a loaded gun on the counter as you were talking??

Treasure Planet is DELIGHTFUL

no, but surprise, surprise, this one was a BIG big fan of that certain well known individual.

I have personal experience in this. once had a small business, where a 1%er approached me with the biggest order I’d ever received. before I started we had to negotiate the price, and sign a contract. they agreed on $60k as the price of their order. then they added to the order, despite me telling them it was inadvisable. so they eventually racked up closer to $100k of services. I wasn’t silly, I got 20k upfront so I actually had enough money to make this order possible.

then, after months of work, I’m about to finish, so I hand them the final bill, which was about $80k. they said no. I bent over backwards trying to find a reasonable price, offered as much as a 70% discount if they would just pay and fuck off. nope. they offered 10k. Went to a bunch of lawyers with our signed contract that had the price negotiated and asked what my options were.

you know what every single one of them said?

“Too rich to sue.”

“sure, you could sue, they would extend the suit out for probably a decade, and then even after all the heartache, headache, and legal bills, even if I won they still wouldn’t pay. because they’re rich enough to not have anything in their name. it’s all in their wives names, some other company.”

“you cannot win.”

it’s a group of rich, entitled, evil people that our society is catered to providing for, and the other 99% are the ones subsidizing their lives.

you sound like a whiny little bitch

i dunno. if you have to put a bunch of effort into making an application NOT cause you distress, then it’s probably best to stop using it. if that limits your ability to keep up with people, well, focus on keeping up with the people you can, and check in with everyone else once in a blue moon. Humans just aren’t capable of maintaining like 20+ friendships. limit it to your close circle/family.

Dunbars number suggests we can maintain a working knowledge of the relations of ~150 people, but that is NOT the number of people in which we can maintain active friendships/personal relationships. It suggests that we can know of around 150 people, and how they relate to one another.

all this to say that in my eyes, social media has been built in such a way that it’s not worth the effort of making it psychologically inert.

Dressing in drag and putting on a comedy show isn’t the same as a “drag show”.

yes it is?

you’re thinking of burlesque. Burlesque has implied nudity, drag shows are comedic.
