I wish I could figure out what the fuck you’re talking about.

I might not be as hip to the music of today as I used to be, but Billie Eilish I get 100%. She’s lightning in a bottle and I hope she’ll enjoy a long and successful career.

That was a weird take.

See I just finished the game as well and now that I'm going after stuff like all the Gleeoks, I'm definitely feeling like I hit a ceiling on my weapons. It seems like I keep topping it at around 40 or 50 when I fuse based on power. I guess I need to start finding better weapons to use as a base.

Everyone has a price. If you offered me $100 million, the things I wouldn’t do could be counted on one hand. However, it’s real easy to say this:

I mean, the premise of this film is that a 30-year-old can and should hit on and try to bang a 19-year-old...but it’s ok! It’s not creepy because she’s a woman. So I’m gonna say...no progress, because that was always a thing. Ask the Oneida Limited cutlery company.

Imagine talk radio only the host and audience can share a live multimedia feed featuring videogames, video clips, entire movies, web content and live broadcasts from outdoors. Instead of “call ins” you have a chat and various avenues for the audience to feel seen and heard. The subject matter of the stream is fluid…

It’s hanging out. It’s the TV on in the background, but its centered around one person who you get to know and occasionally directly interact with. A kingdom of minor celebrities doing interesting-enough content but (among the most popular) mostly just being charismatic and enjoyable to hang around with. And each of…

I’m not even *that* old, and I’ve never understood the appeal of streaming. Looking for a walkthrough or hint on how to solve a puzzle? Totally get it. But just hanging out and watching a streamer play? There’s obviously a hook for a lot of folks, but it seems like games are something you could be actively engaging in…

I’m the same way, but apparently the youths love just sitting and watching a stranger play video games and reacting to other stranger’s reactions. I don’t get it but I’ve accepted than I’m now an old and am no longer with it.

I’d venture a lot of the viewers are kids too, or at least teens. I don’t allow my kids to watch YouTube unsupervised in my house, but my 11 year old has lots of friends who don’t live in houses with that rule, and almost all of them want to be streamers, it’s wild.

Ads, subcriptions, and para-social relationships. I’d bet the vast majority of people don’t sit at a computer and watch a stream all day, but instead have it on a secondary device (tablet, phone etc) while doing other stuff. It’s basically Youtube to an extent, only everything is live.

Sorcerers definitely are into ATM atm.

It’s funny, I would consider the things on that list to be idiomatic expressions, sure, but not jargon. Jargon, as Dr. Wilson notes, is exclusive to a professional field, which forms the discourse community (a bit of jargon from my own profession) for that jargon. It is language used by practitioners and not the…

I’m guessing that some other adaptations will be made to English fairly soon for exactly that reason. I was actually talking to a coworker about this last week. We work with several groups including people using singular they pronouns. Sometimes when referring to the person AND the group, it requires an awkward amount…

Just out of curiosity, since clearly his First Amendment rights were violated. At what point was he arrested and charged with “hate speech” and sentenced to literal incarceration within the US Judicial System?

I don’t use these filthy websites. Full of nothing but trans “women”. Men in dresses. Soft, feminine men in red lipstick a black choker and a huge penis in panties. It makes me sick thinking about them every single day.

When people are on suicide watch, the guards are supposed to, you know, watch them to make sure they don’t kill themselves. No one may have technically murdered him, but they certainly didn’t stop him from doing it himself, which was their job. Whether they did that because they’re incompetent, because he’s a…

Trans kids rarely get any kind of surgery - maybe top surgery at most. Which cis teens get at much higher rates. About 8000 cis teen girls got breast reductions or enhancements in 2020 alone. https://www.advocate.com/transgender/2022/9/28/more-teens-get-breast-implants-trans-top-surgery
