Like a user on twitter has three fields they can define that identify the account: display name, username, and avatar. For verified users, changing the username removes verified status.

These feel like movies that I’m very interested in reading about, but will never actually bother to watch.  Since “what other people are putting into or getting out of the film” is much more interesting me than I what I would get out of it (roughly 2 hours of averting my eyes.)

It’s not surprising that Gamergate was the inciting incident for much of the young radicalized right on the internet, what with when it happened right wing figures that weren’t even into video games were some of its thought leaders (Peterson, Sommers, Cernovich, Yiannopolis, etc.)  The fact that so many institutions…

I’m a fan of the books and I don’t see anything about the adaptation that doesn’t fall into the standard “this is the sort of thing you do when you adapt something” bin. Like they could not possibly keep the “why exactly is Nilfgaard invading” mystery a secret for as long as they did in the books.  I think a lot of…

Geralt seemed like a character that plays much more to Cavill’s strengths than Kal El does, but superhero movies sometimes make a billion dollars and it’s not hard to see a good Superman movie doing those numbers (we haven’t had one of those in like 40 years).

I would assume that in a skills based multiplayer mode if you get matched with players who are much better than you, and thus lose you would then get ranked down and end up in a match with people who are closer to your skill level. So at most you’re going to have to play a few matches against players who are…

I mean, Iowa gas stations make pretty decent pizza so there’s no reason that 7-11 couldn’t also have some decent food made in house.

As someone born in the early 80s, I’m going to start calling myself a Gummy Worms Early Adopter.

I watched that video and I could not understand what the problem the person thought they saw. Like, that is obviously how you make a McRib. The yellow trays are kind of weird, but I think that’s how McDonalds avoids cross-contamination.

I buy that the reason that “Arby’s” is the butt of jokes is that “Arby’s” sounds funnier inserted into those jokes than similar franchises with different names.

I genuinely do not understand why “having a pizza shaped like a Jack-o-Lantern” is a selling point for some people.  For over a decade my go-to halloween dinner has been squid ink pasta with vodka sauce (because it’s orange.)

Given trends in fast food, it might be slightly spicier.

Considering James Gunn’s successes in the superhero field have been with decidedly not A-list characters, since I’m a bigger fan of the C and D list characters at DC, I’m pretty excited.

Sites like d2jsp did have a fairly brisk offsite economy, you had to come to terms with the fact that all the runes you were trading for were dupes, and some people were scammers, but it mostly worked. I get that Blizzard would get that “okay, we need better control over the legitimacy of items” and “this is a thing…

I’m convinced the “Farewell Tour” is because this is the last run of the current formulation of the McRib. They likely have a (hopefully improved) version of the McRib in development since the reason the McRib isn’t available all the time is not because “pig flesh is hard to come by” but because people are motivated…

This is similar to how the Airheads “Mystery Flavor” is a combination of all the scraps of other flavors that combine and simply do not dye.  It’s probably not the same flavor every time- hence the mystery.

The Last Jedi is the second best Star Wars movie ever from my perspective, but I’d rather he make any three movies than three Star Wars movies.

I understand that it’s much easier to estimate “how much money this movie makes” in theaters, since box office receipts exist and even though some people aren’t going to the theater to see a particular movie, they still can choose to see Movie A instead of Movie B.

I’m skeptical of the Food Network recipe.  I’ve never encountered a mozarella stick that was satisfying out of the oven.  The crust never gets crisp enough and you invariably suffer a containment breach.

I mean, a big part of it is the pandemic.  I haven’t eaten a meal inside of a restaurant since 2019.
