  The pockets are alone to give away that Hostel guy is wearing a “field jacket” cotton blend while Agent 47 is wearing a ECWCS cold/wet weather top. He could have two jackets and all that but they’re different jackets.

  I mean, the woman who was right next to the CEO understandably freaked and bolted but yeah.

  Alright Randy Newman, take out your insecurities on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If we say that the accepted pronunciation of “X” is “ex” then we run into an even bigger problem than Prince’s logo.

  “Ex” User says… Is this a former user of the website or current?

  A user on the website “ex” is too long winded and sounds like I’m saying a hypothetical.

  Users on “ex” - although shorter, X is a street name for ecstacy and user is sometimes used as shorthand for drug user (e.g. User and abuser) so why should we be listening to a cracked out party kid?

  The golden ticket is “formerly Twitter” because we actually know what the fuck that one is.

  I’m willing to bet there’s at least one X user on X right now.

  How long was Prince “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince”?

  Yeah, the rest of his life.

  Twitter probably will have the same laid upon it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Discussion] Someone should have gotten sued over Kangaroo Jack for deceiving trailer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How you gonna “or whatever it’s called” and get the title perfectly right? Like call it “Stallion of the Cinnamon Rolls” or something at least.

  And it’s not a terrible movie. It’s certainly a kids movie but of all the trash out there for kids, it’s nowhere near the worst. Pull up Netflix and we can find at least twenty worse titles.

  I paid $3.50 to see a band a few months. Granted, I got a discount but the tickets were about $25 regular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still using a 1070ti and hitting stable 60fps with newer games. Medium to low settings, usually but most slow down comes from poor optimization since I’m running a 12th Gen and regularly see medium usage on both GPU and CPU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Called once to ask, they said go to urgent care.

  Then billed me for a telehealth visit and also the Urgent Care billed me too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In honor of the start spooky season (yay!), I have a question about an apparently beloved spooky meme/skit. What about "David S. Pumpkins" is so funny?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  SNL is very much a combination of both humor from two years ago and next years mainstream. So many of the skits are built in the gap of “what have I seen lately that’s funny so I can quickly write” and “this will be twice as hilarious in a few years.”

  So, SNL is usually pretty meh because you either like current humor and the ‘future’ stuff doesn’t hit or you don’t like current humor and that doesn’t hit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait a minute, we've been going about this all the wrong way!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t have precision munitions back then. Didn’t have drones that can monitor the battlefield from across the globe and provide real-time video feeds.

  Besides, in this case, Israel is playing Germany’s role.

  I dunno if I could manage to spend $30 just to be reminded of something that’ll be forgotten by December…

  Are you sure you’re not a Sony Psyop to get us all to buy Concord merch to help recoup the loss?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Falling Down (10/10) Movie CLIP - Fore! (1993) HD⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was a movie that I’d seen one day and promptly forgot the name of it. I tried in vain to find out years later. I asked my mom and she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked everyone and no one even knew. I was convinced it was a fever dream or something.

  Until I heard Tech N9ne’s Everybody Move and he said “Falling Down like Michael Douglas” and it was a core memory unlocked and I finally got to watch it again.

  It was every bit as good as I remember.

  I was high after a dental procedure, proceed to take a nap on the couch all day.

  A few days later, a Japanese copy of Kirby Tilt n Tumble arrived on my doorstep.

  Which is good that there isn’t much text in that game but odd because they then added it to Switch Online shortly after…

  I learned to sneeze like that long before dabbing was a thing and it wasn’t until someone commented that I just dabbed on them that it connected those dots.

  Regardless, I still sneeze in my elbow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just got out of the shower. what is with the product placement ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not going to pretend Folger’s is some fine luxury brand. I’m not going to pretend it’s even good coffee. It’s fine. Not great but fine.

  Is it shit? No, get your ratios right and it’s fine. It’s cheaper and better than a Starbucks cup. If you’re going for black coffee, you can do worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨well if you look at it that way⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If they wanted to target him, they’ve got the whole Post-apocalypto mini series where they kill Don Jr. with a machine gun after killing his KKK Nazi guards, so one joke is just adding to the pile of reasons he’ll be drawn and quartered by them.

  This is Analogue’s response to WulffDen’s video on the people who make the aluminum reshell for the Pocket.

  Look, the Pocket is a great device for it’s MSRP and not a dollar over. I love having one but it’s not worth any of the “exclusive” editions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Growing Old⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember the day as well. I walked all through the store grabbing everything I needed and while waiting in the checkout I realized I forgot the milk. I laughed and said “Oh wow” then the guy behind me looked at me and I shrugged and said “I forgot the milk!” and left the line I’d been standing in for a few minutes to get the milk.

  My age at the time didn’t matter because it was on that day, I became old. Talking to strangers in the grocery store, forgetting to get the milk, and laughing about it? Old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends who the Republicans and Democrats are. Republican Voters fell in love - Establishment Republicans fell in line. Republican Officials all talked about how terrible Trump was and would be but still get on their knees when it’s time.

  Democratic Voters fall in love, with Bernie and AOC and their guy. Establishment Democrats tell them to get in line… Well, the Voters either do or don’t show up.

  So, you’re correct that the original subversion was true but it also depends on who any individual commenter references as “The Dems” and “The Repubs” which you can always shift to suit your needs.

  The Republican party pretends they’re wagging the dog but they don’t even have a leash.

  DOD Imagery guidelines state that only color correction can be applied to “make the image appear the same as it was when it was captured” otherwise it must be labeled “DOD illustration” instead of “DOD Imagery”

  You’re over here asking GPT about “secret scientific research groups” but wanna point out that it’s an English acronym? You could’ve asked Encyclopedia Britannica instead and gotten the right answer.

  Secret scientific research groups? Lol. Anyone with a passing familiarity with government work knows about SOPs.
