It’s crazy how little effort it takes to draw parallels between this administration and the current run of the Daredevil show.

Trump is a fucking comic book villain

The pilot was amazing, but it did set a bar that I felt the rest of the season couldn’t surpass. I’m still looking forward to Season 2 though

It’s derived from tl;dr, which is Too Long; Didn’t Read. It’s not instruction telling you to ignore it, it’s an abbreviated way of saying, “I recognize this as AI slop that I’m not going to waste my time reading.”

Sheee-itttt. In my day we were coming up with alternate lyrics for Barney’s theme that would make a therapist wet their pants in professional anticipation.

“I hate you, you hate me, let’s gang up and kill Barney…”

Those devs need to go straight to jail. Do not pass Go.

“I really wish you hadn’t done than Mark…”

<raises bladed hand>

Reminds of asking for Final Fantasy Tactics for Christmas. I didn’t realize the game was almost impossible to find until the Greatest Hits reprint.

My parents misunderstood and got me the strategy guide for Final Fantasy VIII. I think I was disappointed at the time, but I still got their money’s worth out of that book.

I did not see the community name before clicking. I thought maybe it was like a potato wedge egg casserole or something. Had potential just from the name.

…I really should have looked at the community name first

All I know is the Phantasmal Gardener (four worms fight) is my new Gremlin Nob. I’m desperate to find an AOE or big burst card before I start hitting Act 1 elites because that asshole has tanked my run more than once now

I doubt you lose the GPS connection, but you lose the network connection to make the mapping and navigation work. About like navigating with your phone without cell service

They charge for premium network connectivity. It’s $10/month to make use of if the LTE radio in the car for connecting directly to streaming services without your phone, live camera feeds in your cell phone app, and some extra map stuff. You still get eight years of basic navigation and updates if you don’t pay for it.

The heated seats thing was BMW, which they back tracked on

As Dan Savage would say, there’s no more dangerous place for a trans woman than in a confused straight man’s bedroom during his refractory period

As someone who worked IT help desk in the mid/late aughts: fuck VGA and DVI. Let them stay dead. If I had a nickel for every time I snagged one in a desk’s rat’s nest on every single USB or power cable while trying to route cables, I could build me a top of the line gaming rig with 2026 prices.

The first ultra wide gaming experience I had was with Shadow of Mordor. It was like walking onto the set of one of the Peter Jackson movies.

If you can swing it, I recommend the extra step of getting a curved ultra wide. I started with one and ended up swapping it with a bigger flat one for some productivity features and the corners just felt so far away from me that it diluted the gaming experience a bit.

On the tiny, itty, bitty bright side, that 10% is used to being loud and annoying

If you continue to get push back, consider going to the manager during business hours and discussing it with them. They don’t want a grumpy Google review on their location.

I once had a card skimmed and cancelled. I forgot about my Anytime Fitness membership until three months later when I had racked up hundreds in late fees. Talked to the manager, who just went in and removed the charges from my account while I waited.

Nearly happened to Ving Rhames in 2018.

I feel the quality of the instructions were sufficient and suspect you just wished to stick something up your butt

To be fair, Aragorn was no slouch with that bow when they were fighting their way out of the Mines of Moria. Maybe he was an archer all along who just got overshadowed by Legolas and spec’d late into longsword to be a good party member.

Movies With Mikey has an interesting anecdote from a pre-release screening he saw of Serenity. Wash’s death was so unexpected that a woman in the audience started screaming and had a panic attack until she could be removed from the theater.

That part was pretty brutal, but it did make the stakes in the following hallway fight feel appropriately sky high.
