There's a good chance that I'm not going to buy anything from a door-to-door salesperson, but nothing will shut the door on a sale faster than a rambling pre-amble that's meant to guilt me via my ignorance to sell me your miracle product
Same for me. I don't have the XL for a trade IV one for a while anyway, so built what I could to play it. Still a tiny, bulky beast
My dust is spared by me never playing ML. Is this a trade Corsola?
Your low stardust is giving me anxiety, Hoff.
Agree. If you watch them back-to-back with certain expectations, you’re likely to be disappointed, but Bly has its own beauty that deserves to be appreciated for its own merits
I want to try to help in some way so I'm gonna livestream to raise money for LA wildfire Direct Relief. Me and Mike (and others?) will be playing Fortnite. It's on the main channel for the most visibility. Join us if you want here: youtube.com/live/DtKZHXe...
That much wealth and power is unimaginable and I think any of us would fundamentally change from who we are today
Regardless of what kind of person he was in real life at the time that movie is set, we have ample examples of being a billionaire causing a disconnect from the reality of the world that the rest of us live in
Hey friends. We are safe and away from the fires. Spent most of the day cleaning up after the wind storms that kicked up the fires as our yard had lots of branches and debris. Town was getting smokey and ashy. Not in an immediate evac zone but without power or cell service, we decided to relocate
A forest fire in the distance glows orange visible through some trees.
I Saw the Mountain Glow
Corn flakes and their anti-wanking origins are up there too though
It’s quite windy so there go my plans for my first jog of 2025
I know it’s gotten loads better, but I’m still not over some of the stuff that’s come out about them or what they are poised to do in the upcoming administration
Demi Moore had the most legendary run on Hot Ones, so I won’t doubt her ability to do just about anything
Silence of the Lambs
I’ll never understand why we’ve defaulted to a font where we can’t tell the difference between I and l
Reminder that The Discourse can be whatever you want it to be. You are part of the solution
Even non-cyberpunk sci-fi has featured corporations that replace the state. Weyland-Yutani in Alien, OCP in Robocop
The phrase “lesser of two evils” has fundamentally poisoned a lot of political discourse when it could simply be “the better option on just about every measurable metric that matters in your life.”
Watching the Big Fat Quiz and they had a question about on screen kill counts for horror icons. An unexpected one took first place because of a sequel no one watched where a plane crashes. This is the kind of stuff that drives @deadmeatjames.bsky.social down a well
Growing up in California, I could never understand why people from anywhere else were so fascinated with going there. It’s just a regional scarcity model that somehow went viral
If nothing else, “burrito taxi” is a weird phrase
Thank goodness for Skeleton Crew. It won't "save" Star Wars, but it at least provides a really fun template that maybe they can follow in the footsteps of to keep the ship from sinking
What if… Batman was boring?
Senator Andy Kim is sworn in and his kids give cards to Vice President Harris so they can keep in touch.
My friend group went through a phase where it was a fun prank to set each other’s ring tones to a Klaxon alarm.
Then we realized we were all losing when someone’s phone rang in a group setting.
Weird to think someone would make that choice for themself and stick with it.
