Definitely, but as someone who grew up with E3 being such a huge deal for games and gaming news, it’s kinda sad for the institution to die. I remember when I was a teenager in the early 2000s, I wanted nothing more than to be able to go to E3 and play the pre-release versions of these games and get to see all the…

You’d think that theaters would be pushing for shorter runtimes. After all, you can fit two 90 minute movies into the same slot as a 3 hour movie (or almost, I guess, considering cleanup, previews, and ads). Shorter movies means more tickets sold (theoretically), it’s not like they charge by the minute. And with…

Wendy’s has the best fast food burger IMO, at least out of the nationwide chains. Can’t comment on the wrap, obviously, but it’s not like they aren’t offering anything.

Never had the patience for shiny hunting, even with the various breeding techniques and odd-affecting items. They look cool, but not so cool that I was willing to spend hours and hours of my life for one. So despite playing since the original games, I had never encountered a shiny in the wild (outside of the red…

An absurd generalization. If you tip well and are willing to spend the extra money, delivery apps are fine (remember that nobody is being forced to do that work if it doesn’t pay them well enough). Not 100% ideal since I know what most of these companies stand for, but it’s hardly “does not give a fuck about our…

Thanks!

Yeah I mean they really had three options for Ash - 1) never end his story (what they’ve been doing until now and what The Simpsons is still doing), 2) end it in some triumphant way where he finally becomes a Pokemon Master, or 3) exactly what they did, the implication that he’s still doing his thing and we just…

There are only a few lines in the clip, but does anyone have an English translation?

I don’t know how one would confirm this as real other than him admitting to it, someone can always claim it’s fake and just very convincing. But when this was released, a couple other people in similar situations revealed very similar texts/DMs that seemed to corroborate each other. It could be a cleverly crafted…

I presumed he was innocent for well over a decade until I saw evidence of bad enough stuff that I changed my mind. He doesn’t have to go to court for something for you to believe it and have it affect your opinion of someone.

I had honestly forgotten about the domestic abuse allegations, I thought most of his being “canceled” was on the basis of the number of inappropriate texts with an underage fan (which then prompted other similar texts and DMs to be released).

They make money in a lot of ways. Directly via TSA Pre-Check, I assume they get paid by companies making bags and locks and whatever who want to put the “TSA Approved” label on them, and the big one (obviously) is taxpayer funding. You think the head of the TSA is going to come up and say “we actually aren’t necessary…

Figaro Castle in Final Fantasy VI - it’s not too flashy but it can travel underground (for reasons that are still unclear to me)

I really appreciate the “don’t give money to the big guys who lobby to make you have to pay them to prepare and file your taxes every year on top of more money if you have a complicated tax situation or want every opportunity for deductions” attitude but I really don’t think I’d be comfortable actually doing this.

I 100% did not think I’d be getting any push back on criticizing the shoe thing. I thought that here in 2023 we all agreed that it’s an absurd rule that we all go along with because it’s not so bad and it’s too hard to get changed. It may be silly to complain about it, but it’s far sillier that they make you do it at…

I once moved into a unit where the previous tenant had left everything in the fridge, from expired food to extremely caked-on grime. The landlord hadn’t taken any initiative to clean that out for me before I inherited the responsibility, which was disgusting—but also, according to Innovation Rentals, against the…

But you can have more than 3oz of a liquid if it’s stored in different containers and you can have several different little containers, I can’t imagine it’s that much harder to combine things in the airport bathroom after security.

It’s hilarious that you’re attempting to defend the shoe thing. Because of one man who had a shoe explosive that didn’t even work in 2001, we all still have to take our shoes off? Come on man. This is the worst example of security theater (see also: belts) - it’s inconvenient and affects just about everyone, so…

I think the bulk of that is not allowing non-ticketed people to the gates and locking the cockpit door during the flight. The guys saying you have to take off your shoes and make you take your laptop out of your bag and aren’t allowed liquids of more than 3oz are a scam.

I had a friend who did a few audiobooks with ACX and he hated it. A lot of time and effort for very little money, working on a book from an author you’ve never heard of and very likely may not be any good (plus it requires recording equipment that you may not already have). It might be worth it if you’re interested in…
