I’ve got a friend from Nigeria with 4 first names and 2 last names - the first names variously assigned from each of his parents, a grandparent and a godparent, and then last names from his mother and father. At this point in his life, he just goes by the combination of names he likes best.

Yeah, I started on Lexapro too, and my dreams are also now Weird As Fuck. This was not listed as a side effect, but I don’t know how you measure dream weirdness...

Pretty sure that last pic is two guys, unless that’s an exceptionally flat chested, masculine woman with a beard shadow.

Considering LEDS last forever, I’m guessing it’s a built in obsolescence 

I 100% believe that chickens are the direct descendants of dinosaurs now. Look at that thing. It’s like 80% raptor already

Yeah, I used to have that experience with my alcohol and my skill at pool (billiards). There was a sweet spot of Juuuuust enough to drink and I could completely cream everyone. The zen you describe - of being confident, unconsciousness, with your inhibitions lowered enough that you don’t second guess any of your…

Your experience with the Stim pak sounds to me a lot like how I felt the first time I ever downed a Red Bull.

Hmm, that’s a bit of a complicated question. I’m pretty sure that by the time I was about 10, I was fairly confident about where my family was, financially, compared to the families of my classmates (a distinction measured in gel pens and where you went on summer vacation). However, all my public school classmates…

It absolutely is - I believe Atwood is the biggest selling Canadian author for last week. It made my local news as an “economic indicator”

Well - as for age, if you are casting a 23 year old character, you don’t actually need a 23 year old actor - you just need someone who could plausibly look 23, and you can see that from a photograph. So, if you are a young looking 30 year old actor, there shouldn’t be any issue with consideration for a part, apart…

Hi from Canada, where it was -3 F Today, without windchill (Something like -22 F with windchill). I walked to work in jeans and I forgot my gloves.

I’m already a huge fan of Alessia Cara, so I’ve listened to her take on it about a hundred times already, even though I knew it was doomed to be less popular to the version that gets sung in the movie.

He indicated that he could fix the dog, so I think it’s robotic, just like the horses and other animals that are around the park. HOWEVER - we’ve never seen animals refereed to as hosts before, despite that they’re obviously built the same way the humanoid hosts are. So, while I think the dog is a robot, I don’t know…

Well, its a valid question. I think there are all sorts of things that people don’t necessarily find all that upsetting when they happen to your video game avatar, but that might feel entirely different in a VR world when it feels more like your actual body is involved.

Having watched the first episode, it didn’t feel to me that the sexual violence was there to be titillating - it was there to be horrible. Thinking on it a little further, in the first episode there is a LOT of violence, all towards robots, and not much of it felt like it was supposed to be titillating.

Thank you for bringing that NYT book review into my life. My world is richer and more beautiful for having read it.

I feel pretty much the same way as you do. It kind of turned a corner after a while there.

Shade court dockets are reading 2016 now. I can rest easy.

Holy shit I know, right? They were ragging on her for not having an accurate enough costume for Di, meanwhile Detox was up there in a neon wig, which, while amazing, is so far past accurate it’s not even funny. Also, The choreography and song portion she was given was 100% dull, especially considering she had the the…

Gah, with you 100% on the bluetooth headphones thing. I’ve owned more than one pair, and every pair has been unreliable, annoying to charge, unnecessarily heavy, and, to add insult to injury, won’t even reliably do the only damn thing I’d want bluetooth headphones for, which is so that I can put my phone down…
