If “weird bummer” is too much detail for you, then maybe the internet is not where you should be spending your time lol

It’s not just for those who don’t eat my cereal!

Yeah, VLC. I suffer from TLA-Exhaustion, so work turns my brains to mush and you all are left wondering how I can badmouth streaming everything whilst going on about my virtual network.

Anyone still rocking an MP3 collection migrated to VNC ages ago. Nostalgia is great and all, but not enough to get me to bother reinstalling an app to do exactly the same thing that is currently being handled perfectly well by another lightweight application. Pass.

My dream follow up article:

How DARE they broadcast what I said and did on camera!  I’m callin’ my lawyer!

Every single one of these dinks look like they are wax dummy practice attempts stored in a Phoenix warehouse.

You will still run into shop owners in France that will lie and tell you “NON” but the trick there is to ask…

Ferris Buehler was already a “twee comedy” - the recut trailer made it look more like a “twee drama.”

Oh, no, this cannot be! For all of these fellows keep telling me that they are ALL ABOUT Free Speech! They LOVE free speech! They tell me all about how much they love it, and for them to say that even telling a woman how to get an abortion would be a criminal offense, why... that would fly in the face of their…

Is it as scary as your defeatism is depressing?

Yeah, I’m super-confused by the inference that he was ever “hot”.  He played an 80's asshole creep.  He was never “hot” so this phrasing is both dumb AND confusing.
