100% agree, and let me add that the jump from “I don’t understand how this site makes decisions” to “Obviously they’re operating at a scandalous level of corruption” really bothers me.

TIL there is a such a thing as “PS4 folders”.

Will you pay at least $400 to avoid that nonsense on a $500 PS5? Because that’s how it seems to be going.

You know in thrillers, when the “idiot” cops are saying “usually kids like this just ran off on their own accord”? This is why.

It’s NAHT a TEEDLYWINK

Camryn Manheim, best known (I guess) for The Practice, wrote an entire book about being fat. A story she told was that David E.

I always figured that Monica, in “real life”, had an eating disorder. A formerly-fat person, now rail-thin, who works around food and is a control freak? Come ON.

Heinlein was first, but “All You Zombies” is a closed-loop time travel thing, whereas Gerrold’s book has an orgy scene with, I think, some mixture of displaced-in-time and parallel-universe equivalents, so it wins.

This is the only good “actually” in the history of the Internet.

Don’t forget “all the sugar”!  (Unless I’ve confused that with something else.)

To herself.

I can’t get past the idea that Ian and Poppy have to quit their jobs in order to create and work on a second game. That’s what a game studio is; a way for multiple teams to work on different things.

Yeah, that last scene was almost literally “Donna, I have an idea...”

On the Internet, personal food tastes are objective facts.

Yeah, just coming to post that.  Any real company would just refuse to pay dead people.

If you bought an Apple device in late 2019 this is the month you finally have to start paying for Apple TV+, which I’m guessing is why Ted Lasso comes back now.

Anyone who programs in C will know immediately what kind of code bug this is, although why it’s crashing things depends on how it’s being used. Strings with ‘%’s in them are called format strings, and they’re using in a context like this:

That’s just The Nutcracker.

As-a-straight-man, my first crush on a girl was in 2nd grade.
