But can they sing? Do fathers on land reprimand their daughters?
- Comment on Amazing Grace 1 day ago:
Not just an 80s country singer. One that was mocked mercilessly as a big tit bimbo for years. She came out of that kind hearted and when Unknown Hinson came after her for preaching kindness there was such a backlash that he couldn’t play shows for a while and Adult Swim fired him from Squidbillies.

They could pull a Dragon Age: The Veilguard and change directions 6 times during development.

So they’re really trying to fix global warming!
- Comment on Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered. 1 week ago:
Thing is, if it only happens a few times or once in a while that’s exactly how they treat it. But if the restaurants or drivers in your area are shitty and you’re constantly missing one item then your choices are to suck it up and pay for it or you can’t get delivery after a short while.

All of the formerly food delivery apps are like that. I hate it. And if you don’t get your stuff often enough or if the restaurant gets your order wrong too often they’ll tell you that you’re not allowed to get your money back anymore. And if you do a chargeback they won’t let you order until you pay them.
And that’s fine with me because I stopped using them a few years ago except once in a very great while. But I feel sorry for the people who rely on food delivery because they’re disabled or have time constraints due to working half a dozen jobs to make ends meet. I’ve got a buddy who can’t use Uber eats anymore because of this. He’s taking care of two kids and holding down a job that has him working far more than he should and he has no executive function and very little time left over.

I can confirm this. I’ve graduated to just calling everything by its name brand at this point.
- Comment on what is north? 3 weeks ago:
Yes! Divided by the prime meridian and the antimeridian. That’s a good question, though.
- Comment on I feel attacked 4 weeks ago:
I picked drinking and having a band. Except that’s also what I did from age 16 to 40. Maybe I’ve always been in crisis.
- Comment on James Gunn and John Cena talk 'Peacemaker' season 2's new opening credits and more 4 weeks ago:
It’s weird seeing shows get marketing. I’m used to Amazon Prime where I don’t know a new season is even coming until it’s been out a few weeks.
- Comment on Yes, this is 4 weeks ago:
This is actually the most clever way I’ve seen this done. But, just like with all art, I can say something is clever (or good, or technically proficient) and still hate it due to the content.

I’m going to start my own pizza brand and label it “now with no asbestos!”.
- Comment on “It’s Compiling!” 5 weeks ago:
I’m an independent consultant who works from home 99% of the time. My boss keeps sexually harassing me.
- Comment on It's bad man 5 weeks ago:
If you’re not shitting then you need to see a doctor, friend.
Otherwise, if it’s not your jam there’s nothing wrong with sitting it out. In fact I don’t recommend drinking as heavily as I have or take as many fun drugs as I used to (I can still do them but I choose to heavily limit myself) because there are long term consequences.
- Comment on It's bad man 5 weeks ago:
For me it’s the knees. I can still shit and bang and drink and do all the same fun drugs I did at 25. But I miss my cartilage.
- Comment on 7 for me 5 weeks ago:
I wear boots and hold a bottle of whisky. I don’t know why they wouldn’t include that on the list.

How dare anyone enjoy anything that I wouldn’t or couldn’t do myself!

There’s 7 of them. Maybe she should have swallowed a few.

By the time they’re finished either there will be no more radiation or we’ll be living in that world.
- Comment on Ye song glorifying Hitler gets millions of views on X while other platforms struggle to remove it 1 month ago:
What in the actual fuck? I went and looked up the lyrics. I went and looked at some of the things people were saying on xcancel. I haven’t looked at the service formerly known as Twitter in years.
So I repeat, what in the actual fuck? The very loud unveiled racism, the calling a black preacher “more like rabbi” for calling out hate, the glorifying Nazis by saying they drug Germany and the world into the modern age…like not dog whistles. Out and out fucking craziness.
I mean, I knew these people existed. I know some in real life. I grew up near a whole town built on white supremacy and dated a woman whose incarcerated brother was in the Aryan Brotherhood (she cut off contact but her mom gave out her address…I got to read the letters from him and they were disturbing). Hell, a MUD I played had a front end called Stormfront so I ended up in a very bad Internet forum looking for info and even it was tame comparatively. I’ve never seen so many gathered in one place using such uncoded and terrible language.
Jesus tapdancing Christ. It’s a different thing knowing something this horrible exists and seeing this bullshit go down.

Like Violent Femmes. It’s punk played on acoustic instruments.

Some of us live in BJ deserts where you can’t get good, quality BJs from home.

That’s not really extra. It’s like food. Absolute necessity.

It’s appt plus. I have no idea how any of their stuff is because it’s the only service I haven’t tried. But I’ve heard good things about their sci fi offerings.

It was phat. Raise the roof. You’re bodacious.
Otherwise, gag me with a spoon because I’m grody.

But you’re not jamming with the console cowboys there, as much as I wish that happened.
On an entirely related note, theoretically there will be a Neuromancer TV show next year.
- Comment on I don't know who The Rizzler is and Im not interested. 1 month ago:
We definitely had ridiculous slang in the 89s and 90s, but the truth is I always felt like the media over-played it trying to sound cool. And when we’d over-play it amongst ourselves it was as a way to laugh at adults.
Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace? Cowabunga. Some of my favorite stuff had excessive references to skateboarding, roller blading, or other Xtreme sports (Hackers, anyone?) and that’s coming from a guy who used to be a part of that scene.
Maybe I’m wrong. If I am that wouldn’t be fetch.

Not op, but the only place I go anymore is bars. I can’t find a nice place to change my baby at 1am after killing an entire bottle of Old Grandad.
