See - Apple convinced the customer they benefit. I don’t personally see major benefits to joining their ecosystem, but so it goes.

It’s annoying that they aren’t also releasing season 3 of Mando (and hopefully they at least tack on the Mando interlude from BoBF). It’s also annoying that it’s only the “steelbook” experience. Yay, I can pay more money for recycled soda cans!*

I don’t know - Apple has tended theirs pretty well. The key - as with Apple - is to get your consumers to fight for you.

Interesting. He “talks” a lot slower and almost recognizably than I remember.

As with Hillary’s “deplorables” or even Obama’s “guns and religion” comments, the real issue they have with it is because they know deep-down he’s absolutely right (stupid metaphor or not).

I read it as “having no direction of their own”? Of course they’re insulted because they know it’s actually true. Still, it’s a pretty tortured metaphor.

Kid (can I call you “Kid”) Kid - how weak are you that you can’t even manage to stick to your completely ignorant and hateful rhetoric over a can of crummy wiz-water?

I feel bad for the guy. I certainly get it - it’s super frustrating when simple things with literally one job don’t do it properly, and at the end of potentially multiple long days of flying, I bet you just want to go home. I’m glad he didn’t hurt anyone or himself and I hope he gets some help.

It’s not far-fetched to imagine he drives a Jeep or something similar which people regularly kit out for full off-road/camping capability regardless of the amount of time spent on pavement.

I go back and forth with whether I’m just too dead inside or actually the normal one, but there is nothing and no one that I get this excited about ever. And bear in mind, it’s not just “teen girls”, there are full grown adults that will burn their cities down over sportsball teams (which I personally think is even…

Think of it as money not spent on the Ukraine invasion. It’s a bummer for the handful of scientists trying to carry on a higher mission, but in the end Russia does not need any more propaganda.

Those are some funs ones. Maybe it’s because it’s too obvious, but “Black Gold” from Nissan is always a good one. It’s got it all, girls, mustaches, GOLD.

Counterpoint: I’d say ST: Strange New Worlds is almost nothing like the first two seasons of Discovery, in that SNW is everything wonderful about what ST can and should be and Disco is... not.

I assume they’ll be sold off (or destroyed under some sort of agreement with the various studios).

The update at the original website says you are still expected to return them.

The ultimate irony of course being they seldom benefit from those lower taxes anyway. 

The key is the arbitrary fee doubles that paid by ICE vehicles over the same period of time. I don’t begrudge finding an alternative means of taxation to cover infrastructure maintenance that would otherwise be lost due to not needing to buy gas. I do begrudge the blatantly obvious “herp derp we’ll show those woke libr…

Beat me to it - I was going to say these Rice Crispy tunes are getting ridiculous.

At the risk of outing myself as a total creeper (which I guess I must be?), I saw the Labia Minora thing a bunch on FB Reels - though not as much recently, it may be already “done”. I don’t know how the algorithm got me, I’m convinced it catches if you so much as slow down the scroll on a certain video and then…
