less filling tho

The 80s and 90s were rife with that trope. I don’t know if modern action flicks are as bad.

Sex and relationships in action movies.

The whole “hot chick gets horny for the hero after a traumatizing couple of hours” thing gives a pretty messed up view of relationship building.

Jesus

That Pepsi ad during BLM.

The one sticking out of the pelvis.

I was working at a music festival, schlepping cases of beer. Some guy hit me with “I’m Gord Downie’s cousin, give me one”, I didn’t know who he was talking about, so I told him that and ignored him.

Later, a bunch of Ontarians told me I did that in perfect deadpan. In reality, I grew up on the east coast, where the Tragically Hip wasn’t nearly as popular, so I legitimately had no clue who he was talking about.

Pretty much this.

That seems like a lot.

Summit is great.

• Swipe can be configured to do lots on posts and comments (upvote, downvote, reply, other stuff I don’t use)
• Configurable feed appearance. Can be customized per account.
• Apparently does PieFed stuff. At least logs in, I haven’t used more features than that.
• It’s pretty.

I feel like GoT wins, both for the theme and the intro itself. It’s instantly recognizable.

I like the Expanse theme, but I don’t think I would know it if I heard it out of context.

Damn right. Maybe with a smidge of peanut butter.

I agree with the sentiment. We’re in an echo chamber with little interest in change.

I’d love to see more niche content. I post to my city and country comms regularly, but there isn’t a lot in either.

It’d also be nice to see a few more viewpoints. Generally we all agree with each other. Any disagreement tends to be nitpicky and minor, rather than conversation worthy.

Computer needs practice to get program right.

I’m betting a corporate slavery jihad of environmental degradation.

The identifying site doesn’t need to record IP or other identifying information. It just needs to answer “yes” or “no” when queried about the current user. It could use a similar handoff mechanism to oauth.

The cost of a hack turns into getting a list of people in the region, rather than people who use a given service. Arguably, that’s less problematic.

I’m still fucking amazed that I can just put my phone on a fancy circle and it sticks there until I pull it off. I’ve had that thing for like a year and it still feels like magic.

Also:

Playing with friends. I don’t find games a fun solo experience, nor do I line playing with randos, but I like cooperating with folks I know on a challenge.
