A white garment with some kind of food stain. Humiliating.
A pair of dirty hands rest on a car engine. Rough, tough, cool.
Here is an easy solution:
Food stains are humiliating, as they suggest you're a little baby who can't feed themselves.
Oil stains, such as those you'd get from working on your car, suggest you're tough, independent, and skilled.
Thus, simply cover your food stains with used motor oil.
“Two can play at that game” is literally the Drebin quote here when he takes an innocent woman hostage to cluelessly fight the enemy
It's called being a fucking Provider
Just an absolute vacuum cleaner, sucking cash out of the company while leaving its creative teams and executives begging for scraps. Zero added value to one of the greatest brands in Hollywood history.
“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.
I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".
Connections:
- Tower to Monitor via DisplayPort. This works.
- Tower to Monitor-Rear via USB-C
- Monitor-Front to Microphone via USB-C
Problem is that the Microphone shows no sign of connection. But it works fine if I connect directly to the tower.
USB-C connected to back of tower
USB-C and DisplayPort connected to back of monitor
USB-C peripheral connected to front of monitor
Having trouble with using my Thinkvision monitor as a USB hub. It worked for a day or two, but now there’s no connection to USB-C peripherals (video signal via DisplayPort continues to be fine). Can’t find a monitor setting that would explain it.
Anyone solved this?

Two pictures of the pillsbury dough boy: once is on a purple background with the caption “he is risen! happy Easter!”, and the other is tan and brown, similar to a cracker, on a white background saying “he is not! Happy Passover!”
It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.
Add a food to a movie title:
Mad Max: Curry Road
This is so, so well-articulated.
Norm Macdonald on Weekend Update
With the launch of Artemis II, for the first time a man from London Ontario is currently situated in the cold vacuum of space, in what resident of nearby rival Kitchener Ontario are calling, "a good start"
sometimes one thing becomes two things and you can enjoy the second thing in different ways or for different reasons than the first thing, it’s not a competition
i’ve def posted some version of this thought before but as i get older i’m increasingly convinced “is [remake] better than the original?” is a question best answered with “who cares?”
"Israel" doesn't start with a J.
My first gamedev job was on the cancelled Eternal Darkness 2. So…
yeah I’ve thought about an Eternal Darkness remake once or twice
Anyways watch The Magicians
It contains the baddest bitch of all TV-Dom who you will HATE but by the end you'll be fucking cheering here on and banging the table going OH FUCK YEA YOU GET THAT EYEBALL BITCH
Look it won't make sense for a few seasons just go with it
While we're on the You Don't Need TERF Wizards point:
The Magicians is ANOTHER fantastic novel series aimed at adults about magic school (and also sort of Narnia)
It ALSO has a fucking fantastic TV adaptation that is incredibly gay and rates in my top 10 TV shows of all time I am 100% serious
Sora was DOA. AI video is fiendishly expensive to generate and has no use case when human-created videos are better AND cheaper. The only surprising thing is that anyone was gullible enough to buy Altman's bullshit in the first place! Anyway here's the video I made about it

Louder:
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT IF YOU CAN'T FIND WORK. THERE ARE NO JOBS.
I know it still hurts but Anna is 1000% correct here.
Player audiences and motivations are ALWAYS overlapping venn diagrams! The trick is just figuring out what *delights* each audience, and what will *break expectations*- and then delivering as much of A and as little of B as possible.

Dune poster that says: “SPACE - The one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism
It was muted and yet I could still hear the music
