Yep. There’s been a lot written about this but I see those sides converging in real time. One Facebook friend from high school that has gone full Q who I check on for amusement/terror and who was an adult entertainer and into all sorts of new age mysticism and astrology but with no connection to organized religion, is…

I’m anticipating better, but a fine start nonetheless.

I lost track of the amount of times Meyers looked at Gabriel for more than a second while Aaron was holding up a loaded gun that he could have just shot him with.

Spotify is the real issue. If/when that model ever changes or collapses, shit will get real for many people. I still have CDs and hard drives loaded with MP3s but even I haven’t purchased new downloads in years.

I feel seen. Nike is my biggest problem as I buy mostly online (often eBay) and I toggle between retro and contemporary but, as you point out, they aren’t at all consistent within those groups or even model. One specific example of how little some companies focus on size consistency that I encountered is a Brooks trail…

I don’t know either. That’s part of the issue that I was pointing out. I’ve never heard anyone use gal IRL.

ETA: Not sure how I stumbled into a 5-year-old slideshow to comment, so recently is relative to me in 2021.

I had been slowly working through Ozark this week but I really don’t enjoy it (I enjoy many dark and depressing crime dramas but this just doesn’t do it for me an) so, after being inspired by an article about a Northern Exposure reboot, I bit the bullet to by the complete series DVD set (I had searched it out online a…

How does this relate to demand and pricing for new cars? Not sure if it’s spelled out but I’m at my max WaPo on all browsers. The conclusion about this being an indicator of inflation would depend on the demand increase not being primarily driven by a shift in preference from new to used—which does seems to be part of…

I’ve recently encountered a professional situation where I work with several women of varying ages who call women girls—as in girls vs. guys, not girls vs. boys. It’s a product of my specific industry (they are usually referring to models) but it still weirds me out and when I repeat back “women” when referring to…

As a layperson, it seems to me that he and many others routinely engage in flagrant market manipulation (and the cryptocurrency markets present a perfect storm for this). He should be sued for defamation where appropriate and otherwise held accountable if he violates a settlement or court order but, unless they had…

I think it’s reasonable for them to enforce a policy around account usage as long as it’s not tied to location or the concept of a physical household. A simple limit on the number of concurrent streams from different IPs seems perfectly reasonable. It just needs to allow one to use their account at multiple locations…

I just cancelled mine last year after 20 years but I do miss it sometimes. I would consider reinstating it at some point if they would give us the retail versions of discs that included bonus content. I do fear what I assume is the imminent day when they kill it as there still is some % of titles that don’t stream…

The question of what teenage behavior one should be accountable for as adult and how is fine to debate but let’s not act like 2011 was the dawn of the internet or a drastically different world from today with completely different norms—Obama had been in office a couple of years, the Arab spring and Fukushima…

Is that one of the options? I’ve bought Thin Mints in three cities on two coasts and never encountered that. Is it recent?

I obviously don’t know him or anything beyond his NCAA/NBA play but rightly or wrongly he fits into a mold in my mind of the type of flag humper who talks about respecting the military, etc. in contexts like this.

Not that it should matter at all, but he works for Micky Arison (who is not only Jewish but Israeli), in Miami. I would throw any concerns about the CBA right out the window along with his too-tall ass today.

Can we also talk about Meyers Leonard?
