Agreed! Someone recommended me that one awhile ago and I read through most of it before my ADHD kicked in and I forgot I had feet. I recently described it as "imagine you can only go grocery shopping every four months, and if you forget anything on the list or something unexpected happens, you die."
Clearly retiring was the mistake. Who knew it would lead to so much work? XD
Also damn, looking pretty today, Kaybee.
Loved Musk saying we were going to have permanent human habitation on Mars within a few years back in like 2014. We're not even particularly close to having permanent human habitation on the ISS, and definitely not the moon, and LOL NO Mars.
Which tends to lead to a lot of obnoxious atheist posting like "all religions only want to make as many converts as possible because their magical sky daddy told them to 2000 years ago."
A lot of people, particularly those raised in a Christian culture environment (regardless of how they identify today) tend to view all religions through the exact same lens as evangelical Christianity, with zero interest in learning the substantial differences between them.
I wondered if anyone else noticed that those daggers looked uncannily similar!
My vote's for the first one as well.
Stranger coincidences have happened. Both TOH and Legacy of Kain had a character who wears red all red, wields a flamberge, suffers from time hijinks, and is named William.
Yup, to the point that when Joe Pesci parodied him for the 1994 Sesame Street 25th anniversary special, that was one of his defining characteristics. villains.fandom.com/wiki/Ronald_...
If only he would actually die on it, instead of killing the rest of us.
Vee has basilisk jammies! Luz and Amity can hold hands (and have otter and kitty jammies)! They're expensive, but I want them enough to save my pennies.

Don't worry, there's a different plushie maker I'm planning to buy from instead. ^^
Or the classic video, youtu.be/_fHfgU8oMSo
The artists were subcontracted through PWTees, so splitting with PWTees splits with the artists too. Maybe they'll hire them on directly.
Once a year, Wolverine appears in every board game. Even the ones that didn't license him.
Others do not have any excuses, much less for the kind of bizarre icon fetishism this entails in the best case scenario.
Just the association was enough to get the designs banned by the SCA leadership, and the people in question were asked to step down. This had been the second time they had worn something questionable and zero tolerance was invoked.
That was a historical society regarding historical accurate gear.
A few years back, we had an incident in the SCA where someone's historically accurate clothes featured swastikas and HHs in the embroidering. The fact the embroidery was, in fact, based directly on the baldric of a Scandinavian sword from somewhere in the 300-900 range was considered irrelevant.
Oh yes, at least a few people. This user has Luz, Amity, Edric, and Emira. bsky.app/profile/morr...
I hope you bite into an off-brand ice cream sandwich and discover that there's a terrible reason why it never melts.
It really does, and I have never seen people so happy to be sucking on pine cones and grapefruit rinds.
Ideally, they shouldn't need to be! Or at the very least, they should know that anything they encounter is best verified with at least a couple of different sources.
But nope, people still trust the bullshit machine at face value and I cannot comprehend why.
It just boggles my mind that anyone still uses it. Somehow, despite thousands of examples of how it CANNOT consistently give accurate information or code well or summarize a topic, people still think they're clever enough to recognize when it's lying to them.
And... they're often not.
It could generate some really convincingly humanlike answers to general questions! That verisimilitude started to disintegrate as soon as you actually wanted a question with a real answer.
Nowadays, I look at the error rate they self-report (it's HIGH) and assume it's even worse than that.
Even before we started seeing the "the red mushroom with white spots is tasty and not at all toxic" and "red paint goes well with steak" and "save gas by walking to the car wash instead of taking the car" answers, it was obvious there was something really rotten about the whole idea.
I was right; I wasn't ready.
Thiel and Musk used to work together when Confinity, the company which eventually became PayPal, merged with Musk's X.com, which at the time was a banking website. Musk's vision for the site was essentially a quick loan company with no credit limit, which alarmed Thiel into kicking him out.
That no matter how out of place you may seem, you can always assimilate enough to become a cop and oppress minorities yourself -- and all it takes is inherited celebrity status and untold riches, and soon you'll have slaves waiting on you hand and foot as well?
Hmm.
