I don’t go very often, but I’d love to have this kind of down view on Chipotle - where I am (SF), they’re still definitely competitively priced for the amount you get, and the quality is just as consistent and high caliber as almost anywhere else.

Why and how would a panopticon be nog flavored? 

I’m sorry, what was the good idea at the core of this? Because every time I’ve ever had it explained to me it seemed like impractical nonsense.

Since as we know, things which are “brave” are inherently liked across the board at the time they occur; that’s what makes it a brave thing to do - going for the popular, widely held opinion.

I find this fictional world so hard to take seriously. There’s all this hemming and hawing about “what’s to be done” and “how to live in these conditions”, but simultaneously having to take seriously an annual celebration where kids fight each other to the death for sport. Any normal society would have torn itself…

Exactly what I had been thinking. Ironic meatheads, big eyes, and over-gesticulated shouting? Just utterly offputting.

Twitter wanted to sell itself; the offer was at a substantial premium and the leadership was both obligated to assess it and happy to receive it. That’s why they took Musk to court to force him to follow through on the deal when he attempted to renege on it on the basis that he felt he was overpaying after deeper…

I’m glad to hear it! No, really. My eyes were getting glazed over reading this and it’s like, ugh...homework...But seems to not be the case. Reverse marketing, almost.

Oh, now I get the setup:

This much preamble to understand a villain who is appearing for the first time in the series is an excellent example of why people are falling off the MCU.

I wonder what this would look like at a reasonable price point. Like it sounds bad (and it is) but what if it was offered at, say, $1B per likeness (which the studios would never go for).

“Bombastic” does not mean “explosive and/or high octane”, it means “using high flying language which doesn’t actually convey meaning and comes off as pretentious”.

I’m confused by what you’re envisioning here when you say “they can just add or remove mini busses depending on needed traffic volume”.

Yup! No, I had seen that - I mostly take umbrage with that absurdly misleading article title.

No speedrun descriptor on the planet refers to the “total hours of practice” as the time it takes to complete a run.

Well, see, that’s funny, since you referred to it as a skeleton in her closet. I guess when pressed about the obvious dissonance you’re espousing, time to switch. I’m not the one who called it a skeleton in her closet - that was you. Noted.

So, yes, it’s a skeleton in her closet? I’m not asking about everyone, or making claims about someone else’s supposed purity, I’m asking you if this is a skeleton in her closet. It’s a yes or no.

So you do agree it’s a skeleton in the closet?

“Equal parts functional and practical, and I praise it.”

While I’m not currently religious, I was raised pretty Catholic - going-to Catholic-school-as-a-kid-in-Italy levels of “being raised Catholic” - and I’ve lived in every time zone in the US. I have never seen or heard about any of this.
