Jason Pargin’s “Zoey Ashe” books are decent. Especially if you’re focused on social media and AI impacting day-to-day life. You may already be familiar with his writing for Cracked (back when it was good) as David Wong

As I live in the south I hear my “how are you all doing” morphing into “howya’lldoin” and there’s nothing I can do to stop it

Bubonic Plague never went away and it doesn’t make much sense to vaccinate against it. It’s still carried primarily by fleas and other small blood drinking bugs, prairie dogs can also commonly carry it. Plague is treated relatively easily by antibiotics and isn’t usually fatal or likely to cause long term damage. As the title indicates there’re usually 7-10ish cases of plague per year in America and those are rarely fatal

Rump roast braised in molasses, brown sugar, chipotles in adobo and stock. Served shredded on flat bread with a Russian dressing and cabbage. Season liberally with paprika and keep trying to wash the blood off your hands, it has to come off eventually, right?

I’m so sorry to be the one to tell you this but 30 years ago was the mid 90s, not the 70s-80s

Honestly John Wick is pretty tame compared to Neo. When you don’t have to be concerned with physics you can make guns do a lot

Arguably Keanu Reeves, between the time machine and being able to manipulate reality it’d be hard to stop him

Do incels have some core complaints with validity? Yeah, online dating has been designed specifically to make the majority of people using it feel bad. There are genuine problems that men face in society that women don’t and they don’t get support for. However you can’t pick and choose the members of your ideology, only your choice to share it with them

The ultimate problem is that red/blue/black pill ideology is all rooted in the manosphere and incel culture. By utilizing their terminology you are associating yourself with a group of misogynists, racists, and terrorists

Which is to say someone who says “my MS makes my life difficult enough as is, so I choose not to struggle with dating on top of it” is different from “I’ve been blackpilled because these Stacys won’t consider dating below 8.5/10s”

There’re other points to be made with regards to being “too ugly to date”, why people dislike non-traditional sexualities, and modern dating culture. However, I’d bet if you went into the real world and talked to real people about specific struggles leading to deciding to no longer date without a bunch of internet words you would see a lot more support

It just occurred to me that this meme needs like 2 modifications to be about Paul Atreides

Just started with YAMS using Plex 2 months ago:

Movies: 241 TV Shows: 30

About 3.5 TB on an 8 TB drive

Relevant XKCD

I bring my water bottle to theaters and nobody gives a flying fuck. 98% of the time it is water but every now and then I do bring an alcoholic beverage and nobody ever bothers checking to make sure it’s only water

Reloaded and Resurrections? Girl, you can do better

No, it’s basically the same thing as Carl Sagan’s cosmic calendar

It’s got real Stefon energy. “A long, long time ago, say… Monday”

What a terrible website. I couldn’t even read it without it loading ads and moving my screen everywhere

Probably toggleable statistics. So I could choose to see information about people above their heads. Mood, age, name, net worth, and stuff like that. It’d be something I could turn on/off and choose what’s stats I want to see at any given time

I usually look for a recent episode with someone I like or a topic I think is interesting

I disagree, so this is probably a good post. I view your proposal as similar to the death penalty. If I knew with 100% certainty that this list would only ever be used for absolute shit heads who can’t behave then I’d be all for it. However, we live in the real world and there’s a lot of edge cases. There was a video of a little girl singing Disney songs over the speaker on a plane that was delayed recently, what if that little girl never got to fly again because her mom told her to do something for internet fame? Maybe a flight attendant goes on a power trip and antagonizes a customer into a moment that gets them banned. Airplanes are the most realistic way of travel in a lot of the world and by far the most realistic way to travel internationally and giving full control of that method of transportation to the whims of mega-corps feels very dangerous to me

Oh shit D4! I’ve wanted to try it but didn’t want to pay for it, I’ve heard the controller gameplay is surprisingly good for a series that people so heavily associate with M+KB
