Wow took over my life for a while there, and then again with WoTLK. The 2v2 and 3v3 arenas were so much fun. The cool thing was that it wasn’t grindy in the beginning, you could just run quests at your level and level up at a reasonable pace while exploring the game. I had played Everquest before WoW and that game required so much grinding just to get a level, sometimes it would take weeks.

Next dog will probably shoot or electrocute the cops.

You’re making a good case for free speech absolutism.

Ecstasy of Gold is the best Ennio tune. Fight me. When Metallica plays that shit it sounds like God is about to ride out on-stage riding a horse.

Would probably be helpful to have a passport to demonstrate citizenship.

More belt and road usury?

Anti-perspirant causes breast cancer. You look at data for Japan back in the 90’s-2000s and breast cancer was like 80 times less prevalent in Japan vs the US. Now Japanese are starting to use it more and breast cancer instances are raising to be more on-par with the US. The NIH did a study that was inconclusive so everyone assumes its not true. However, if you read the study you realize exactly how inconclusive it is, and that the answer was truly more along the lines of: “We don’t know”.

Order some joke/fake lottery tickets. One of the ones where every ticket wins $30k. Drop one on his driveway before he heads to work in the AM for him to find. I’ve only done this to two people and they both fell hook, line, and sinker for it. One lady was calling her husband to come pick up the winning ticket to keep it safe.

TIL that Sicilian is a language that is separate from Italian?

Crocs are lowkey the number one shoes of athletes. The minute any kid finishes any game with cleats, they kick them off and roll with the crocs.

For the rest of my life… I’m going to use the emoji in place of the name of the country. Which lets be honest, even if I live another 60 years will only be like two times maybe.

My whole childhood it was bad videogames made in the wake of movie/show hits. Not glad to see it goes the other way as well.

I could have gotten over the minor disparity because they needed a good actor, but that script was a completely butchered hack job. Anyone who made decisions on that movie should be excised from the entertainment industry.

Isn’t the absentee part by design though? I’m pretty sure it was designed that way to minimize waste. The legislature only meets every other year for about 5 months, Seems like the absenteeism is a feature… I get it that it sucks during a natural disaster. See the meme above though.

IPO was it for me as well. Once something goes public, the enshitification begins in earnest. Reddit users better be ready for their user data to be sold by the board, there will be more ads than ever, and I’m predicting people will start getting doxxed in about 2-3 years. Never mind the fact that AI is already making the lion’s share of the posts to farm karma for reasons that I don’t even understand.
