That’s a lot how I feel about NES games nowadays. They were wonderful for their time, but that qualifier will always mean that the games feel outdated and limited, currently.

I’ve discovered that the games from the NES age much better in my mind than they do IRL.

I would probably buy the SNES Classic, whereas I only toyed with the idea of buying the NES Classic.

How does blowing up a cave in Afghanistan make America great?

Would you like to explain the physiological changes that occur in your tongue when your body ceases to digest meat and other animal products?

“I pointed out how disciplining a pet in such a manner could be misconstrued, especially with the impact of social media”

This feels like it could be a really bad idea for the GOP legislators in that state. I mean, what better way to torpedo your political career than to fuck with UNC basketball so you can make a political point?

Those are just their faces. They’re not really an attractive bunch, just made up to look they reside firmly within the uncanny valley.

I’ve periodically dived into the history of nuclear scares (Able Archer, the incident above...Finland?...that turned out to be a weather rocket launch, and of course, Cuba) and it seems like the narrow avenue to avoiding a nuclear holocaust was carved out, specifically by this device. I wonder how assured the…

So, now at this point, after having seen the Lakers win 5 in a row (I haven’t watched all the games because I’m not a masochist, also a Warriors fan), I’m wondering whether other teams are trolling the Lakers at this point.

I’ve done hallucinogens all of once and it was mushrooms and it was glorious. I was living in Santa Monica, my roommate and I took some a couple hours before sundown and then we walked to the beach and watched the clouds roll in as the sun set, with the lights from the Santa Monica pier rides reflecting off the water…

Assad was never going to be at that airbase, particularly after the Russians tipped them off that the strike was imminent. So, the moral victory that you’re claiming (that being the potential to kill someone, not an actual tangible achievement, just the theoretical possibility of it) is completely hollow. Yeah, sure,…

Have you ever seen a more punchable face than that? Christ on a crutch.

I was going to comment a handful of great platformers, but then it dawned on me that concepts like “great” are entirely subjective. It seems that you just don’t like platformers, which is fine, but then every platformer, in your eyes, already has it’s course plotted out for it. So, if every platformer has to be bad,…

My favorite part of that whole set up is that the books are on the top shelf, easily out of reach, while the decorative plates that will never be used are easily accessible. I feel like that’s a great metaphor for the intellectual rigor of this administration.

I was going to include heirloom tomato ketchup, but it actually sounded like it could be good and the idea of blue cheese margarine seemed way more tacky. But yeah, we’re on the same page.

I’m not convinced that they weren’t spawned from a pool filled with a mixture of liquefied cash, gold leaf, and the finest Kobe steaks, breaded, and deep fried just past well-done - to perfection, before being doused in top-of-the-line blue cheese margarine.

Ah, got it. Thank you, it’s (relatively) early and my neurons aren’t quite firing at full capacity right now. Then again, I probably wasn’t specifically looking for tone-deaf ostentatious displays, because that’s just sort of assumed for the Trumps.

It means to repeat the exercise. I think the idea that Ricola was going for was that when you thread the needle between sprints and “sprints”, you give yourself the impression that you can do more reps at that “1-minute sprint” pace, leading to fatigue, degeneration of form, and therefore, injury. It’s better to ramp…

Forgive my ignorance, why is posing in front of that...is that a hutch?...distasteful?
