Parasocial relationships, over-identification, projection, whatever — we need to bring back the Greek pantheon for glomming, and stop demanding someone’s personal life be an integral part of their job (save exceptions involving criminal/abusive behavior, and others I can’t think of right now). 

What is genuinely surprising to me around the issue of “body positivity” (or was surprising, before it happened a bunch of times,) is the number of people who come out of the woodwork to say mean things about celebrities (and particularly female celebrities,) after they’ve lost a significant amount of weight. I think…

Cosmic Horror ala Papa Johns

Disgusting & amazing!

Thanks for sharing, doh! And the image is just icing on the cake. I really hope this will be Netflix’s next Stephen King adaptation.

This is good kinja.

Maybe it’s just my local franchises, but I can’t handle the grease content on Papa John’s as it is (tbf several other chains as well). Used to be just heartburn after eating their pizzas, over the years it’s evolved into a good hour or so of pain and unpleasant restroom experiences.

oddly enough, about the same? https://steamcharts.com/app/997070

So are these numbers better or worse than Marvel’s Avengers?

Imagine losing ownership of something (everything?) just because your hard drive broke down, or because someone hacked your wallet. With no means to get it back at all.

Epic Game store exists so I can open up the app once a week, see what that week’s free game is, claim it, and then never actually play it. That’s what Epic Game Store is for.

It’s almost like they’re a cynical business entity that played fans and the media like a fiddle.

It’s just speculation. It’s the intersection of hobby gambling and get-rich-quick schemes.

NFT are weird. Give me a list of them and I’ll hit google and see every single one... Good luck enforcing that “ownership”.

The fact that there are people who will drop a hundred grand on a JPEG because that means they “own” it is just... ridiculous. It’s legitimately absurd.

According to Sweeney, he and Epic make a distinction between the company as a game developer and as a tech company. So while game dev Epic won’t ever touch NFTs (at least, for now...) the tech company version of Epic is open and ready to do business with blockchain devs and creators.

Bet there’s a lot of shared Venn diagram space with the grays who will get pissy about people besmirching their sacred bitcoin and those who were defending Dave Chapelle in other kinja posts.

Yes! Finally a place where I can offload all these NFTs. My father died and left behind an attic just packed with rare, but near mint NFTs. Some of these haven’t been seen since the 1800s. In fact, I took one of the NFTs to be appraised, and the guy said it was an actual Civil War era NFT owned by George Custer.…

Epic: Gives a bunch of expensive games away for free to get some goodwill.
Also Epic: We welcome scams and please hurry up and destroy the environment!
