- Comment on Security lines at JFK airport, NYC 3 weeks ago:
I had to go through the Atlanta airport shortly after the “4 hour wait” stories started hitting. I showed up 3 hours earlier than normal to be safe, and when I got there they had every station manned and ICE was basically just waiving everyone through. Took me about 2 minutes to get through security.
Kind of illustrates how pointless TSA is in the first place, but I’d rather have had that four hour wait than have to be within 50 ft of ICE.

Batman TAS is unbelievably good. Gets a little better every time I rewatch it.

Also, I am pretty sure the steam machine is smaller than I was able to achieve in my efforts to make a tiny gaming PC for the living room. That kind of thing can only be done at great effort.

Once I was in the bathroom of this upscale theater following a Shakespeare play, when a very sharply dressed older man who exuded an aura of intelligence came in and approached a urinal. He dropped his pants and underwear all the way to the floor, raised his shirts with both of his hands and held them above his exposed nipples, then pushed his hips as far as he could into the urinal to piss hands-free. The incongruity of what I was seeing left me stunned, and made me forget to pee until he had completely left the bathroom.

I looked into her because of that one song from the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC and immersed myself in her music for a while. Then I found out about her marrying Musk, and it’s hard to enjoy it any more because I can’t get over her terrible taste. Like, why? She already had enough money, was it worth it?

Yeah, that’s where the kinda comes in.

Kinda related: At some point I realized inflation is actually kinda good when you have no assets and large debt, because it effectively shrinks your debt. The problem is, I only thought about it well after paying off my debts and gaining some assets, so now I feel like the guys in the pic if I talk about it.

Huh, didn’t even occur to me there would be trans complications as well.

RPO tapped into some deep seated fantasy from my childhood. Much like Harry Potter it wasn’t very well written, but that doesn’t matter when you’re half lost in your own imagination the whole time.

What context needs to be ignored? Ketchup is a sauce, which when added to completed food becomes a condiment, just like all sauces. Plenty of dishes are cooked with ketchup in the cooking process. The conclusion from the article you posted:
when it comes to the question of condiment or sauce, the answer is “both”.
- Comment on Keeping it classy for my 1000th post 4 weeks ago:
Obviously it’s a sauce. I looked up the definition to try and figure out why they would say it isn’t, and I still don’t see it.
“a liquid or semisolid food mixture used especially as a topping or ingredient for adding to or enhancing the flavor of a dish”

TIL, I never would have thought it had to be a direct line. My uncle has more of a DNA match to me than my great great grandparents. Weird word.

You and I must be using different Youtubes. Any time I look up an Elden Ring or Silksong boss guide video, the person recording it starts with a “This boss is actually really easy…”

- Comment on Streaming didnt exist in 1970 1 month ago:
My grandpa recorded absolutely everything on VHS in the 90s. He had so many bookshelves full of movies and shows he meticulously catalogued. I wanted to ask him if he ever actually watched any of them, but I didn’t want to break his spirit.

“Part out” was what I needed, thanks! It seems to be working on some level, though I definitely messed up somewhere. Gonna try again later on a PC when I get home.

Proton feels like they really want to be Google, but don’t have enough market share yet to enter the “removing ‘Don’t Be Evil’ from the mission statement” stage.

Yeah, I can handle incompetence. It’s the malicious exploitation that was getting to me. I don’t feel that any more with Linux. Give it time, I guess.

Is there a way to buy the pieces on bricklink without individually adding each piece to a cart? It feels like there should be a button for that, but I can’t figure it out.

The only game I could roughly follow was Elden Ring. The others I didn’t even bother to try, inscrutable messes all.

Every time I played a Pokemon game throughout the years, I thought “This time I’m going to fill the dex!” But there was always some you just couldn’t reasonably get so I always gave up. Big disappointment, it’s really the reason I didn’t play the last few.
It’s impressive you managed it in Gen 6.

If they thought it was an honor, why kidnap them? Surely they would come willingly?
- Comment on Paging SpaceCowboy 2 months ago:
I just feel like if they were acting honorably, they would have invited the victors instead of kidnapping them via what I assume was a cowardly ambush (based off the fact they have no memory of it), and freezing them until their loved ones were dead.
