The part about earning credits for watching ads is straight out of the dot com bust when companies were offering everything from free internet to free PCs for watching ads.

Who could have guessed that an unlicensed therapist like Mr. Phil would stoop so low?

That exact same argument has been used for decades (if not centuries) to keep out some “undesired” class, whether it be Blacks, Jews, or poor people. It’s a bullshit argument. Aesthetics are not more important than people.

Don’t hesitate to call 911 if this happens to you. The ER should at least perform a CT scan to make sure your skull is intact, if not a full MRI. Speaking from experience here although I’m fortunate enough to still be alive and not have any lasting damage.

The original Gumby stuff was pretty lousy overall. One short even got the MST3k treatment:

YES! Best news I’ve heard all day. The short six episode seasons left me wanting more.

Wonder how they translated “bitch tits.”

Ah yes, Roland Emmerich, the guy who has a scene where the White House blows up in all his movies has some thoughts about originality in films.

Who the fuck is Spotify trying to appease with this move? Rogan’s casual racism was well known long before they signed a contract with him. This has nothing to do with Rogan’s COVID-19 disinformation campaign.

That works out to a little under $12/month to put it into perspective, which makes it cheaper than Netflix’s standard plan. When you throw in the free shipping and Whole Foods discounts it still seems like a reasonable deal.

I know a former alcoholic who is very much not dead, and at times sustained his addiction on alcohol from camping stoves. As it turns out most types of ethanol can be converted into something drinkable with a little ingenuity.

I’m a little concerned they’re using alcohol as a fuel for something designed to be used by homeless populations. Obviously not all homeless people are suffering from addiction, but for those that do, well... someone’s going to try drinking the stuff and get really, really sick.

So who’s going to acquire its NSFW copycat app Lewdle? PornHub?

Cortana looks like she just stepped out of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

...not only turned into a grumpy old man scolding Black kids to pull their pants up...

Another shoe just dropped: Joni Mitchell just announced she’ll be removing her music from Spotify as well.

How do you keep flies from landing on your Big Mac? Unwrap it.”

I hope other artists follow. Fuck Spotify.

Checks definition of the word “job.”

Seems like a sad situation all around. Still, at his age I probably would have retired by now.
