We call him Blucifer. He has freaky glowing red eyes and asshole veins.

I had that scene with the prostitutes from Fargo in my mind.
- Comment on What do companies get out of rewards programs 3 weeks ago:
It also encourages you to shop at, say, Kroger rather than Safeway.

I’ve never had rhubarb. I’ve heard it’s sweet (people make pies out of it), but it looks like celery, which is one of my most hated foods. What does it actually taste like? Is it palatable raw?
- Comment on I learned so much 3 weeks ago:
That was roughly my experience with East of Eden.
- Comment on What animal could you take in a fight? 1 month ago:
Lots of coyotes and foxes around here. I think I could take them on with my bare hands.

“Sorry for the confusion. Taylor uses they/them pronouns.”
Confusion lifted, problem solved.

And also because when people try to use neopronouns they take as much flak for that if not more. Imagine this same argument: “I’m not used to these newfangled pronouns. Why can’t they just use normal ones?”

The original movie was an adaptation of a book, too.
- Comment on Are Blu-Rays the new vinyl? Physical Media will be different – but better – in 2024 4 months ago:
I thought vinyl was the new vinyl.
- Comment on [Weekly thread] What have you been watching lately? 5 months ago:
Watched Violent Night the other day. It was really dumb and a ton of fun. I liked that it leans into the “magic of Christmas” angle and kind of "yes and"s it with a bunch of gore.
- Comment on If cannabis gets rescheduled to III, how can it ever get the state - federal differences resolved when it comes to the recreational market? 5 months ago:
The research at the time said not to ban it because it is reasonably safe for consumption and banning it would cause social unrest and distrust of the government. Check out “A Signal of Misunderstanding: The First Report of the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse”, a report from a commission created by Richard Nixon with the passage of the 1969 Narcotics Act.
- Comment on We have had guns for 200 years but mass shootings only became common in the last 30. So what changed? 6 months ago:
A lot has been said already, but it’s worth mentioning that modern guns are much more capable of killing than guns 200 years ago. Back then, guns were very inaccurate and had to be reloaded one shot at a time and packed by hand. Now we have automatic weapons with large magazines that can be swapped out in seconds. They have less recoil and greater accuracy. Regardless of cultural and political issues, guns are just more capable of killing than they used to be.

When you drink the coffee, you can really taste the iron deficiency.

You’ve gotten a lot of good responses here, so I thought I’d just drop an example of a jazz music video. youtu.be/swcSU71gixw

That was an upgrade, imo
