Dude, seriously. A year or two ago, I chided one of them for making some seriously egregious spelling and factual errors, and in response they knocked me back to the greys. (After like fifteen years as a starred commenter!) I only just recently got reinstated. Which was bad enough...but the really fucking galling part…

The tremendously sad-yet-hilarious irony is that I copy/pasted the headline for that blockquote, and Chrome’s built-in spelling and grammar check feature literally put a “Hey, your grammar is kinda screwy here” squiggle under ‘climatic’, offering ‘climactic’ as a correction.

Destiny 2's next expansion is about climate change? 🤔

Thank you. And I’ll gladly lift a fellow Grey into the Black.

Gerard Butler’s gonna save the UN Secretary General in this thing. 

Thanks for pointing this out. I realized there’s a whole generation of people that had never seen this ad-campaign or the many (MANY) joke versions that came out shortly thereafter.

That context is helpful. But also puzzling, given (I think) The Mr. Hawaiian shirt ad is mocking Mr. Hawaiian Shirt, “hero” is used in jest, no? So, is Sanders implying these “real women of politics” are, not in fact, real women? Or is it simpler, Sanders doesn’t get satire?

Holy Hell! If I were to see that w/o context, I would legit think that was an SNL or Daily Show style parody commercial, down to the faux-folksy narrator, and bald eagle screeches in the background.

It’s the GOAT 

I miss the BFBC2 with my clan. I’d come home from work, do some chores, and check my friend list, and sure enough, someone was playing, and I’d jump on to support. And what started as 1 or 2 of us would eventually grow to us dominating the server, to it just being us vs. us and having a helluva good time.

(Raises hand.) That’s me. Purchased my PS3 together with BFBC2. Though I played and thoroughly enjoyed the BFBC1 campaign on the XB360, this was my proper entry into the world of online shooters. Unless you count dial-up Doom deathmatch in the 90s, which I do not. Hundreds of hours spent PTFO, and I regret not a…

“This is how sound designers came up with just about every noise audiences here as Maverick pilots the Darkstar...” Audiences where?

I know we could do this all day, but in my mind, his list of impressive credits starts with Big Trouble in Little China. Not least because his incredible performance as Lo Pan seriously elevated the film without in any way ruining the fun.

All of these manosphere grifters are not-so-secretly falling apart behind closed doors. Jordan Petersen’s depression and benzos addiction led him to being in a medically induced coma. And this is the guy who tells other guys how to fix their lives? 

Since when do people in Eastern Europe speak Spanish dialects? Or do you just think Spain is in the eastern part of Europe?

I dunno if I have the skill or patience to work my way through the campaign on Master difficulty but I apparently got the achievement for Top 3 in the Pilot’s Gauntlet. If I can do it, I’m sure you can do it. Good luck!

I mean, who know what this game would’ve been like, but it’s hard not to feel like the closest thing we were gonna get to Titanfall 3 just got cancelled. What a bummer.
