The opposite of a jumbo small.

Politics should have been sorted out way before the ring.

How you know you live in a really small and remote town.

They are. I’ve seen phones being on magnet mounts or held on the steering wheel with videos playing.

You bleed rainbows when cut.

I don’t know. I’ve seen a few examples of women who have radically changed their looks via skillful application of cosmetics.

I don’t know what to do with that. On one hand, society expects them to use available techniques to change their appearance to meet standards of beauty very few can ever accomplish. Otoh, it’s dishonest because irl they’re not who they seem to be, so an app that shows them without makeup might be useful. But the catch-22 is that the app may not be right, or that we judge too harshly based on an unattainable standard.

Man, Beauty is fucked up in the West. CGI, photoshop, photo manipulation have destroyed reality in favor of manipulating what desirability is.

Yeah man, both at fine. I’ve had some great 4-cheese homemade mac’n cheese that doesn’t turn out too dry, but that seems to be the rarity.

Deep Fried Butter. Stick of fat wrapped in carbs fried in more fat. I don’t think that can be topped.

I think for some it never takes hold. Ours are in the early teens and it’s barely starting to register.

A hard thing I try to get my kids to understand. The bus time is at [what:ever]. That’s when the bus leaves. Not when you roll up to the stop. Not when you step out the door. That’s butt-in-seat-leaving-time. If you’re walking up to the stop and the bus is pulling away at bus:time - too bad, so sad. That applies to many things that require you to be on time for. 5 minutes early is on time. On time is too late. Astonishing what a difficult concept that is to get across.

They just need to come out and “lease” the game.

“Buy” should no longer be on any selection as far as live service games go, or any game dependent on developer servers to operate.

Put your salami in that and it’s gonna come out looking like chorizo

Sentences you never thought you’d read.

No idea. Haven’t followed it that closely.

They should have spent the budget on something that was original and took a risk. We can watch a shitty reboot or a shitty original - and some of those original movies that are panned as not good at least have a shot at maybe becoming a cult classic or a fan fave.

Oh, there’s a Highlander 4 in the works. It’s not dead yet. One saving grace is that it has Cavill in it, I liked his Witcher quite a bit, so I have hope for the Highlander 4.

53%?!

Sounds like one of those shitty used car joints “no credit, no problem” that you sign your life away for a mediocre car.

It’s the average they calculated they’d get in order to allocate the minimum budget and personnel to what the “normal” calculation would be and only inconvenience the customer when it rose about that amount.

That’s what I said?

They’re dictatorships that someone slaps the world “communism” on? They have the trappings of communism for the common people but shovel all the money and power to the top like a dictatorship. Don’t know why it isn’t clear

Flip it around.

They were authoritarian dictatorships and kleptocracies that paid lip service to communism.

The USSR was the closest to communism, but of course all the power and money got pulled to the top and the people got to live with the nominal structure of it.

Little bit like the US… a capitalist country with a free market, but again, all the power and money get pulled to the top to keep their bank accounts safe and the people get to live with the fallout of market volatility.
