Same for me. I never understood what motivated that content and, by extension, why I should care about consuming it. Ooo you had a cheeseburger tonight! IDGAF. Some witty political insights! Fuck off. Your child was born! Wonderful, send an email or an announcement card in the mail. Large scale emergency! I’m going to a reputable news source; I don’t need user-curated echo chambers.

As far as I’m aware, the only mandated and enforced expiration dates by law are for baby food manufacturers.
Everything else is a vendor suggestion.

Whatever, those extra EME bags I swiped saved my car interior multiple times with sick kids. 10/10, would/will stock up again.

You have to ask for the McManager during your grieving period to obtain your certificate.

This. It takes a bit to figure out the rhythm, but it’s not hard once you know how it feels. If you do, definitely be prepared to be frustrated at least once and stall the car at least more than once (I know I did)!
Once you figure it out, though, it can be much more fun and engaging (and sometimes more annoying) than an automatic.

Well now I need to see both movies, but from the article’s tone and description of the suit, it sounds pretty damning.

Apart from the admittedly over the top hyperbole about the NES, what portion of my sarcasm would you say qualifies as a strawman?

“In response to the community, we’ve updated our license agreement so that if you even think about not paying us, we’ll kick you off ALL our stuff and cancel every other Nintendo thing you have!

I haven’t read them yet, but there are two more books after the original trilogy. This is the fifth book. I think the fourth was the President Snow prequel which also had a movie.

Shakespeare, or really any writing from that era takes me many read throughs to understand it.

- Comment on Will pilots-less airplanes happens first, or driver-less cars? Why? 4 months ago:
Airplanes, though I suspect they will never be truly without someone to assist in case of emergency.
Cars have to contend with a number of random obstacles and unique challenges. Planes have defined runways and taxiways and, via autopilot and GPS, their flight paths are relatively easily defined and controlled.
The sky over one city is pretty much like any other. Main Street not so much.
- Comment on Happy New Year! Thought I'd share my new year's resolution to the people here 4 months ago:
Honestly a decent 1080p presentation is still more than adequate for the vast majority of content consumed at most homes. Otherwise completely agree.
- Comment on what works for you to let go? 4 months ago:
This might sound odd, but start listening to metal music.
A lot of the lyrics in these songs are aggressive and downright violent (especially if you start listening to death metal and black metal), and for me, it helps to release my emotion.
For example, many people think “I want to punch that person right in their dumb face”. Listening to a song that talks about doing it, and mentally visualizing it, is very cathartic. I don’t really know how to explain it, but just letting go to the music and having it take all your rage and frustration helped me a lot going through similar situations.
- Comment on Which were the worst movies of 2024? 5 months ago:
I’d agree with you. The actors, singing, set design, choreography, are all amazing. The story is just uninspiring and I think it’s reflected in the performances outside the musical bits.
