As a software engineer, I despise our user experience team.

It’s the proper, technically accurate name for a “strip” of bacon.

This isn’t difficult or mysterious, or unexpected, or any of the adjectives that are being put out there. This is 100% the business model - you get people hooked on activity/reward video signals, like in video poker, and then you introduce small transactions to get slightly greater rewards than other players can…

Keeps phone in pocket during takes, because he’s that bored.

“Oh fuck! My CAREER!”

It’s about RESPECT, which doesn’t have to match sincerity. Respect means that you don’t slap someone in the face, not that you don’t WANT to slap someone in the face. Respect means that you extend to that person the civil courtesy of saying “here’s a story I wrote, I tried to write it as respectfully as possible”.

Never. I’m a fucking adult.

This is peanuts for microtransactions.

Oh NO! My pirated Studio Ghibli movie collection may be unsafe!!!!

As a Toronto resident, and Toronto fan I’m fine with admitting that the Royals overall are a far better cohesive club than we are. Offensively they are peaking so are almost on par with the Jays, but they’re also humming on other cylinders. So that’s fine. We could do without all the KC gloating on camera, but we got…

If you google analytics this page, I feel like you’ll see about a 97% bounce rate right about ....

Often decisions are made out of a desire to feel good, when life is exceedingly bleak. When battling the chronic depression a desperately broke life feeds you, it’s impossible to spend 2 hours making a cheap ratatouille, and you really want the happy fix that fat and salt give you.

Again, you’re being precious and whiney about this whole thing. Anyone can turn “ON” a lightsaber, but it takes the force to make them great weapons. The force, or incredible robotic dexterity like grievous has. A doofus who knows nothing could just pick up a saber and use it to try to defend themselves if they really…

The Jedi were ENTIRELY unknown before the Empire fell. Not just in the past, but completely forgotten across trillions of people. To the point where they were a joke, a hokey “ancient religion” that Han Solo mocked. You think one person is going to change that?

“24-Foot Space Station”

people promoting viral stunts are often those with SIGNIFICANT amounts of time.

FYI. This is literally a re-write for the modern times, of Tom Wolfe’s seminal article on car-excess culture from the 1950s. So... good to cadge from the best, I suppose.

That’s the difference between juvenile television, and adult television. In the world of successful, interesting art, character is everything. You watch a television show to see the development of people within a situation, not the situation. So focusing successfully on people is what makes a show great. Sense8 takes…
