If they don’t release a comprehensive version with all the different versions, then they can go fuck themselves. My autistic teenager, who was cut his teeth on Pokemon, is going to want to collect them all. And I’m not interested in paying full price for each different version, because that’s bullshit.

Streaming services also seem to want to bring back the world of cable bundle packages, where you had to pay through the nose and get a ton of shit you don’t care about just to get that one thing that you do want to watch. And, despite paying for many services, they still have more commercials than old broadcast…

The art is clean but it looks an awful lot like Asian Eroge art (don’t ask me how I know, that’s not important right now). The models look like young people but you can hear the age in the voice actors’ lines. Given that the characters were all slightly road-worn when the series ended, it would have been better to age…

Or of the freeloading class of clergy and pastors that thrive in environments where the flock provides everything for them, from housing to vehicles to small business success for their entire grifter families. I’ve always known it was a scam and drew people who wouldn’t be able to make an honest living elsewhere, but…

PETA is a strange organization. The line of demarcation between big leadership and street operations is pretty loose. As a twenty-something in the ‘90s I belonged to a PETA group that rescued lab animals and had a vague plan on what to do with them afterwards. The idea was that caring mismanagement was better than the…

I’m in my 50s, and we had a local circuit, Pacific Northwest Wrestling. Almost all of my friends thought professional wrestling was legit. We thought going to the coliseum for a night of rasslin’ was great entertainment, and used to re-enact some of our favorite moves in back yards around town. Lotta hillbillies in my…

I really like this. Yes, this model is too big to feasibly be for travelers or commuters, but it’s a step toward something that straddles the line between the standard laptop form factor, a tablet, and a true travelling office. It’s not the device I want, but it’s on its way in that direction.

“Where else would you be” if you were at the North Pole?

It amazes me, a reformed rasslin’ fan and Gen-X kid, that we can look back at a time in my life that I watched stuff like the above picture on cable TV and never questioned that these athletes were both straight and masculine.

No idea who that was until I looked him up. I can see it, and I trust James Gunn’s casting instincts if true.

Gold has value outside of being pretty or a currency

I hate to be the one to tell you, but nearly all currency has no actual value. The value is whatever we all agree it has through a complex system of determination that gets sillier the more you dig into it. The only real difference with crypto is that it doesn’t have the backing of a government guaranteeing it to be…

Speaking to the Daily Beast ... “she is the mother of my Children,” Jayson said.

Probably a good thing for the studio (but not necessarily the show) overall, what with the cast changes and how season 3 kind of wandered around before it found its groove. Take a little break and hope fans’ goldfish memories forget the actor under the helmet.

That’s the point of using hyperbole, it’s so clearly inaccurate and inappropriate to the situation, leading a significant portion of people to assume that both sides are inflating their case and the truth must be somewhere in the middle. See also “Liar’s Dividend” and “Post-truth society”.

Sounds like a Jay-Z song, something something O.J.

If anyone ever asked me about my early life girlfriends, the only thing I’d be eager to say is that they’re lovely people, and the fact that we’re no longer together shows how wise they were. Don’t go into specifics, be self-deprecating and complimentary.

I expected to see outrage and #DiamondHands orders for AMC all over r/WallStreetBets, but it’s eerily quiet over there.

I love that Shanna the She-Devil is on his van mural.
