We must stop here, this is BAT country!

Hmm I mean without having to work, that’s kind of what I’d spend a lot of my time doing anyway, especially the sleeping part.

Dude this is the weirdest thing to bring up and very inappropriate. You’re not in control of your friend’s wardrobe and besides, what are you actually implying is going to happen when she’s not as sufficiently covered as you deem fit? Additionally, and this is pretty important, did you consider whether or not she would have liked to have had her picture posted here especially in the context of the post you made? I take it you didn’t ask her? The fact that you took it for granted that you could just do that fits with a pattern where you also believe you can tell her how to dress. You’re going to need learn to better respect boundaries.

Food probably actually is their main product. Granted it’s been a very long time since I worked in a movie theatre but when I did they told us that of $14 or so of ticket price they only made about 50c and that candy bar sales were actually their real business.

What are the sides next to the dip?

That’s hilarious I was going to say it reads like a joke but not because I actually suspected it really was one.

I’m not sure I see the contradiction myself. It sounds like the theory is the towers somehow transmit the virus which creates the need and pretext for the vaccine that allows the secret nanobot injection right?

Is it contradictory because the capacity to wirelessly transmit a biological virus through these 5g towers would mean they wouldn’t need to physically inject these nanobot things because they should be able to just transmit them the same way? Because if so, I can see what you mean but I suppose that doesn’t necessarily follow, like maybe for whatever reason viruses are different to nanobots and can somehow be transmitted through radio technology but nanobots can’t. Or also they might think, as so many conspiracy theorists do, that COVID is a “hoax” so that opens up all kinds of creative interpretations, maybe their 5g towers merely produce the disease known as COVID and there is no actual virus known as SARS-COV-2 and that’s the “hoax” part. That theory wouldn’t require virus transmission over radiowaves just radiowaves being “bad” for reasons that could be made up later.

Interestingly growing up with the internet and alongside the growth of internet based advertising I kinda inadvertently developed a sort of mental adblock. I kinda don’t see or hear them even as they’re happening, I feel like one of those Westworld robots “Doesn’t look like anything to me”. I think everyone’s kinda got one of those even from all the tv and radio ads before the internet and still today, hence needing to justify so much marketing research and creative work to stand out but it seems I reached some saturation point a long time ago and now I’d have to actually choose to concentrate to even perceive an ad happening.

This has survived despite probably 15 years of ublock origin use. I definitely noticed when I use a machine without it that there’s like impediments to navigation if the web, like road blocks but I’m so trained to close the ad or leave the page that all I ever see is the x button.

You should try precooking the mushrooms a bit, I find they work better on pizza that way as they can release a lot that water content so it doesn’t get on your pizza and prevent browning, they don’t take up so much room on the pizza that way too so you can get a nice heterogeneous mix of exposed cheese layer and toppings during the bake. I like to give them a little fry with garlic and butter but you could use olive oil. Gotta pull them off the heat just before they get nice and golden otherwise they burn in the oven.

It didn’t fare well. Turns out it had only been tested in a pool, not salt water and it was a whole lot less waterproof than it was supposed to be.

Ironically despite not being from there I know more about that phenomenon in the American system than that of my own country but I should imagine a similar dynamic is at play here, there, in Japan and everywhere. It takes a great deal of time and money to conduct trials and there’s a lot of pressure to clear backlogs so if you can persuade someone to either admit the crime they really did because there’s overwhelming evidence or simply capitulate even though they actually didn’t do it because the risks if they lose at trial are so high then you manage to help to this end. I’m sure that’s happening in what you’re observing but it sounds like those types of incentives operate everywhere whereas the negative commentary about Happen in particular seemed to be about an unusually high conviction rate which is used as indirect evidence of a lack of fair process so if that’s sticking out even with this phenomenon occurring then it sounds fishy. But again I’m really just repeating rumours.

I’ve heard some dodgy stuff about their conviction rates and tendency to stitch people up but I’ve not really read in to it.

I first saw this a while ago but it’s such a zinger haha still cracks me up. What a burn

Haha I like the way the cartoonist decided the reactions of the characters should go. I kind of assumed it’d be the Dad character looking grumpy here for being called out on telling the same joke over and over but the dude’s chuffed as fuck. Kinda sweet.

Also saying “chuffed” definitely makes me thing of this tangentially related thing about chuffed Dads

False, those are actually quite far away from me as I can not even see you.

Is it excessive worship that was the issue? I thought the biblical God was fine with all manner of excess of worship as long as it wasn’t of any other god.

Never seen one like that. The video store I worked at had one that was huge and looked like an alien ware PC. You put the disc in and after a deafening horrendous noise for what felt like a full 60s or more you’d pull out an astonishingly well cleaned near scratch free disc. I didn’t actually put 2 and 2 together that the DVD cleaner was of course buffing and so inherently destructive and I thought it was kinda neat so for a little while there I started buffing discs with only superficial damage that hadn’t had complaints 😳.

The awful noise it used to make got worse and worse over the lifetime of the machine too. Crazy thing. Did it’s job really well though.

That’s a bonus award in Smash Bros Melee, did they also call you a bird of prey or peaceful warrior? Maybe you misinterpreted.

It’s funny, if I saw this in a film I’d say the CGI wasn’t quite convincing but this is apparently actually what a massive helicopter in a rice field looks like.

Something about this shot specifically though, because other images of the scene don’t give me that vibe.

I don’t know, I think letting your unpaid product managers have a little bit of leeway in curating the product line probably isn’t the most irrational decision, otherwise they’d have to have to review the decisions and make policies and that’d take paid employees or development.
