Seconding this.

I’m in my late 30s but I don’t want to continue the chain of grouchy old fucks that oppose anything fun.

Some places have their own “weird” delicacy that throws people off. Dogs in Yuan, maggot cheese in Sardinia, undeveloped ducks or stewed frogs in the Philippines, and so on. So, I’m not going to knock this at all.

Tbf, I’ve read about this as a teen a long time ago (GQ) and was fascinated by the irony of having the guinea pig in a cartoony sketch on the wrapper while seeing their corpse through the plastic.

Pretty much this. It’s why I love it for my use case (microblogging journal that only I can see), but it’s definitely not for everyone else.

It’s why if your average influencer or news consumer wants a Twitter alternative, it’s likely Threads or perhaps BlueSky, not Mastodon.

Looking back at this (and the Signs MV), I have no idea why I had a crush on the female leads as a little boy back then. They were about 20-22 at the time but look to be about in their late 20s, early 30s. lmao.

TIL there’s another 90s “Fuck The World” song that isn’t ICP.

Now, you could take the fucking red pill, right? Spend the rest of your life jacking off, crying into your chai tea green latte, what the fuck. Or… you could take the blue pill. Or is it the red pill? Anyway, take the other pill and quit being a cunt.

Lemmy seriously needs kindergarten-level SEO. None of the communities barely show up on Google.

I watch highlights on YouTube when uploaded. But I stopped watching late night shows a long time ago… ever since Conan left NY. Although that coincides with me finding work and never having the time to watch live (which is around 1pm here). Then streaming became a thing shortly after that and we had to cut cord.

I re-watched Beethoven’s 2nd a few weeks ago and everything made sense now.

Charles Grodin was always suspicious of Danny Masterson’s character right from the start, up until the very end. Danny also has a weird reaction when Ryce says she was looking for Taylor, knowing his opportunity to introduce her to Scientology was blown.

We’re now a step closer to making dogs with BBs in their mouths and when they bark they shoot BBs at you.

I haven’t been using Wordpad for 20+ years. Notepad could do everything it does already. Then, you also have Firefox’s built-in inspect to tinker with code on the fly.

Does Lemmy count as social media?? lol

Iron Man 3.

Led us to believe Ben Kingsley was going to be a badass villain only to be revealed that he was an actor.

This was one of our favorite movies as kids, and my brother and I would always make jokes referencing it.

“Take two of these and call me in the morning! Mwahahahahaha!”

I haven’t seen it in full, but I do remember it creating a bit of controversy with the cookie dongs and kids. Some critics didn’t find it funny at all.

Exactly. I remember seeing Liar Liar and Jim Carrey’s reaction when the kids were taken away by his client was top-tier drama. And just his line delivery and malleability were signs of great acting, regardless if it’s offen “wasted” in comedy.

I take it this isn’t even half as extreme as the comic book?

The Wire.

I downloaded the entire series in 2010, hoping I could binge-watch it while I’m still on night shift. Couldn’t get myself to finish the slow boring pilot, set it aside, and forgot about it completely.

More than 10 years later, I see it on HBO Max remastered. Managed to survive EP1, and quickly after that, I couldn’t wait to watch every other episode.

I’ve always said the best shows are the ones wherein you can name every character to even the smallest one and know why they stuck with you. The Wire is one of those and remains my favorite of all time.

Not really cancelation per se, but some of my favorite shows came back from the writer’s strike in 2007-08 pretty poorly.

Sarah Connor Chronicles was axed shortly after they went back on air. Chuck’s post-strike material was S3 and beyond, and that’s when it started to jump the shark for me. Prison Break S4 was exceptionally bad, even by PB standards.

Dexter did have the Trinity Killer, which was the best season and antagonist by far.
