The linguist in me is fascinated by how quickly "lol" has cemented its status as essentially a diacritical mark for an entire sentence, one that indicates a kind of vocal performance of either "I think this is funny" or "I don't quite mean this."

Man all those people pressing the red button... You've never played Guess 2/3rds of the Average and it shows

I thought his hair said TИUↃ

(François Truffaut, 1973)

Terrible form for the Mother of God. Footwork nonexistent. No power in the straight right.

30 years ago today, Principal Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers. #TheSimpsons episode “22 Short Films About Springfield” first aired April 14, 1996.

also also, I think "everyone does it" is an enabling message for sexually coercive men, when it's generally more impactful to communicate "what you're doing is not normal and other men are disgusted by you."

Were Were those the only two options

If I win the lottery I won't tell anyone but there will be signs (full set of Franciscan Starburst plates and bowls)

You read the beginning of the sentence last didn't you

trans guys are all rat guys. we're not all the same kind of guy, you've got your scrappy rat guys who identify with trash mammals and your yuppie rat guys who like a compact pet and your nerdy rat guys who wanted a weird pet but all roads of transmasculinity lead inexorably to keeping pet rats

Liar! (Asimov, 1941)

Imagine two towns. One has a public library on Main Street. The other has an expensive bookstore in the rich neighborhood, and a library in the poor neighborhood that requires proof of low income. Just intuitively, as a thought experiment: which library below would you expect to find in each town?

There's a gaming commentator, Josh Strife Hayes, that semi-recently put out a really good vid that touched on why WoW Will Never Die/Be Dethroned. Because the MMO longevity game, it's not about having the best gameplay or graphics. It's about community. www.youtube.com/watch?v=miMe...

"various" 🙃

I am frustrated that I fell for this. But I'm glad that the Austenland larp experience doesn't actually exist. Talk about potential to go horribly wrong.

The whole world will be your enemy, prince with a thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will smash you with a hammer. But first they must catch you.

"Who the hell is Alpine?"

uh oh

this constitutes enough of an excuse to show off the collection

Listen. Picking apart and rules-lawyering what is/isn’t a good way to keep consuming a Problematic Thing is actually normal and fine! But doing it defensively and as public discourse suggests you want absolution from people who don’t know you. You’re making a personal struggle a public project.

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".

LRT: 21-year-old, thank you very much.

Respectfully: I don't think recommending new, non-transphobic wizard stories by other authors is gonna shift the needle much on pulling ppl away from Harry Potter shit, any more than shouting "BETTER GRAPHICS! COOLER MECHANICS!" is gonna peel anyone off their 18-year-old World of Warcraft accounts.

Quick and dirty, but I had to:

OMG the partial presence thing!!!!!! I've been thinking about this a lot when I'm meetings where people want me to, like, do somatic exercises or be emotionally vulnerable with a team. Absolutely not, completely inappropriate.

"community" here is something that is very difficult or impossible for you to leave behind--and something that is diminished by the imposition of an external justice process that does not rise from, and serve the needs of, the community that was harmed.

INVENTOR: i have just created the push button MARKETING GUY: should i do a press release INVENTOR: that’s how it works, yes

Finally, a real use case for JavaScript

My friend showing me wrestling video: check this out Me: you know that's fake right? Friend: Do you think dancing is fake because you know the moves ahead of time? The hard work and dedication is real, the showmanship is real, the athletic skill is real, the pain is very real. Me: I mean it's AI.

Shows should have a "wait, what did you say?" button that rewinds ten seconds back and puts the subtitles on for just those ten seconds.

On a good day I make a to do list On a normal day I just wing it On a bad day I make a to do list but it's all really basic And today I encountered the bad day of "didn't even make it to the to do list" hooray!

bro

top surgery and bottom surgery are all well and good, but when can i get strange surgery and charm surgery?

this really is what it’s like

This. See also rest of thread. It's like how scam <insert product here> can have a nicer website than the real thing because they can spend 100% of their budget on marketing and don't need to put effort in actually making the thing

It is, literally, an unfair advantage to be a person willing to tell any lie you need to tell to get what you want. It is much easier to get things from people when you are willing to chameleon yourself to be exactly what they need.
