This is Brooklyn 99, well worth the watch

Not directed at your Cheddar lol

It was a meme for a while, got big enough that saying you liked vaporeon got you a lot of these reactions. I got a few myself, but I just like water types and high sp atk.

Used to hit the bar every Friday. Now I have a bottle and a half of wine gathering dust in my fridge. I opened the half bottle a month ago.

Tbh nowadays, weed makes me feel good and alcohol makes me feel hot, sweaty, and sleepy. Maybe im just getting old though

Remember, rats scatter off a sinking ship

Im sorry, I know this is a serious example of how (much more) fucked up the US has become, but i can’t help laughing at seeing it summed up like this. We literally have to clarify that the President of the United States did not, in fact, fellate a horse. And it’s not even one of those “What the fuck are you talking about Jesse” addressing the rumor moments. It’s a legitimate possibility and concern.

Oh man, if I don’t laugh at the absurdity I’ll cry.

I can tell you are not a yesterday’s grouse’s son

When I was in college, it was very clear to me who wanted to or actually felt a need to be there and the people who were there because they were expected to. The people who didn’t really want to be there simply went through the motions, did the bare minimum for whatever situation they were in, and immediately fucked off because they did what they showed up to do. Their goal wasnt to be there, ot was to get through being there so they could do what they actually wanted to. The people who were actually invested in being there put in the effort and did extra stuff to ensure their success. They formed study groups, watched some YouTube videos on fuzzy topics, talked to each other about the material, went over sample tests, etc. Their time after class wasn’t the left-overs they had from their time at school, it was a resource to use to make their time at school better. Because school itself was actually their focus.

When I see statements like “Give it your all,” that’s where my mind goes. It tells me to not just go through the motions and expect true success at the other side. That shit takes work and dedication of time and energy. Not necessarily all of it to the point that you’re damaging your health, but that is often where it ends up. And it’s hard not to end up there if you compare yourself to others and feel a need to keep up to unrealistic standards.

In short, to me it means to actually apply your time and effort into it. Be invested in how well you do and what you can learn.

From what I understand they moved away from the Rand stuff pretty hard and publicly distanced themselves from it. I honestly never got anything but wholesome vibes from the dudes, even if they were a bit misguided in their early years. Their songs are usually about fostering connections with others, doing your own thing, and accepting others who are doing the same. That just translated into hyper-individualism and maybe buying into red scare propaganda in the seventies. The USSR and China really had a bad taste in everyone’s mouth when it came to communism. Not saying they’re perfect or that i agree with it, but i can see how they got there.

Oddly enough, for all its Rand influence, 2112 goes fuckin hard. Discovery was an absolute delight to me as a musician, and Priests is still raw af.

You telling me I can painkiller my way away from the massive amounts of cringe I generate? Say less, lemme go buy a costco-sized barrel of excedrin

Oh hell yeah, I can get behind some good FOSS. Bo wonder he’s so recognized. Yeah, then I’ll give it another shot. Maybe there’s something I’m missing

Gotta carbo-load

Can anyone tell me what it is I’m missing that makes vlc so good? In my experience across several machines, it gives choppy playback with almost every file, especially after unpausing. Like, i get that it plays pretty much every codec out there at high res, but I all I remember of my time using VLC is frustration. Did I just repeatedly set it up wrong and it’s actually a godsend, or is VLC just not that great?

“Oh. I suppose that is you. So, did you want something, or…?”

Far Cry Blood Dragon’s tutorial section. The game is very aware of how impatient gamers are to get to the killing, and milks it for all the time it can while the PC grumbles about annoying tutorial sections. They throw in a ton of extra dialog boxes like accompanying reading recommendations, obvious tips,etc.

The whole game is meta and corny on purpose. If you like '80s action movies and sci-fi, they packed just about every trope possible into this thing. Heavily recommend if you haven’t played it.

Regarding Earth:

“What? Harmless? Is that all it’s got to say? Harmless! One word!”

Ford shrugged. “Well, there are a hundred billion stars in the Galaxy, and only a limited amount of space in the book’s microprocessors,” he said, “and no one knew much about the Earth, of course.”

“Well, for God’s sake, I hope you managed to rectify that a bit.”

“Oh yes, well, I managed to transmit a new entry off to the editor. He had to trim it a bit, but it’s still an improvement.”

“And what does it say now?” asked Arthur.

“Mostly harmless,” admitted Ford with a slightly embarrassed cough.
