And they are literally naturally occurring. Like... I wonder how mad conservatives get when it rains on a sunny day, and a rainbow comes popping up in the sky reminding them of their closeted homosexuality.

Shorts over bathing suits is such a weird one to me. Like... Bathing suit is fine in the water, going in to the water, getting out of the water. But you best cover that shit up for lake activities or whatever. Like what a weird line to draw.

Edit: You know what? These are all really weird. Like... No white t shirts? Are you afraid of them getting wet and maybe revealing the bathing suit they are probably wearing underneath? No two peice bathing suit? Because heaven forbid you show off the most sexual part of the body - the stomach? Like... That's the difference between a one peice and a two piece, right? The stomach? The back? Maybe it's to reduce the chance of a "wardrobe malfunction"?

I dont know.

Somewhere inbetween. I had a friend who was a cook and I didn't know shit about cooking. He would come over, then we would go to the supermarket and smell the different produce, and look at the meats and come up with something to cook. We would buy it, go back and chef it up. Learned a whole lot about cooking and flavor profiles etc. Some of the best times I've ever had.

I'm a groomsman in his wedding in November. For the bachelor party we are renting a cabin with some people. We are going to dream up a menu, go shopping, and chef it up again. I can't wait.

That's the thing about reading the list out loud. You can just skip over the names of the people you want to protect.

Release the files.

Is he on trial for inspiring other people to commit violent acts? Is that one of the charges he is facing? No, He is on trial for murder. How other people respond to that is not his responsibility.

Additionally, he is still on trial. He has not been found guilty. So they are saying that something he may or may not have done is responsible for other people potentially doing something that they haven't yet done.

What a bunch of irrelevant hogwash.

I can tell when I'm driving from NY into CT when suddenly there's traffic for no reason and everybody is driving like an asshat.

Dicktater.

As in tater-tot dick.

I remember during the covid shutdown my gym was closed (NYSC) . I called their main support line or whatever and was like "I need to cancel my membership" and they told me that I needed to go into the gym to cancel. I told them that the gym was closed and I can't go in. They then told me I needed to get in touch with the manager of that gym somehow.

Called my credit card company. Disputed the charges, and told them to block any further charges from NYSC. That gym shut down before the lock down even ended.

Bought some weights and bands for my apartment. Downloaded a free app for calisthenics routines. Haven't been to a gym since.

It's not quite the same as having all of the machines and weights, but it sure as hell is more convinient. If I ever get the pleasure of owning a home, building out a more complete gym in the basement/garage is a goal.

If you're talking about the shooting in NYC, that was Blackstone, not Blackrock. Two entirely different companies with very similar names.

I used GPT to help me plan a 2 week long road trip with my family. It was pretty fucking awesome at finding cool places to stop and activities for my kids to do.

It definitely made some stupid ass suggestions that would have routed us far off our course, or suggested stopping at places 15 minutes into our trip, but sifting through the slop was still a lot quicker than doing all of the research myself.

I also use GPT to make birthday cards. Have it generate an image of some kind of inside joke etc. I used to do these by hand, and this makes it way quicker.

I also use it at work for sending out communications and stuff. It can take the information I have and format it and professionalize it really quick.

I also use it for Powershell scripting here and there, but it does some really wacky stuff sometimes that I have to go in and fix. Or it halucinates entire modules that don't exist and when I point it out it's like "good catch! That doesn't exist!" and it always gives me a little chuckle. My rule with AI and Powershell is that I don't ask it to do things that I don't already know how to do. I like to learn things and be good at my job, but I don't mind using GPT to help with some of the busy work.

The Pirates of Dark Water.

Please. For fuck's sake. Please just complete this part of my childhood.

They set out and started an adventure that should have been many many seasons, but one day I went to watch it and it was just gone.

As a kid I had no ear on the ground about shows getting canceled and back in the 90s I don't think anybody really did.

It's like if it was DBZ and they got the dragon ball locators to revive Goku after he died and they collected like 3 of them and then they just stopped airing it.

I honestly have never gone back and watched Pirates of Dark Water, and it's probably trash, but I will never forget about how I was so invested in a story as a kid and it just... Stopped.

It was gone like a fart in the wind.

The SNES beat em up was also super difficult and not that good. It seemed like an idea that was built around sucking up quarters at the arcade, but apparently it want popular enough.

Fucking Pirates of Dark Water, man... I will never forget.

This is an incredibly common thing, and I'm wondering if there's some kind of science behind it. If I got in the shower with my wife it wouldnt be like "wow this is pretty hot water" it's literally like "OW OW OW OW" and I have to jump out. I'm fairly certain being exposed to that for more than a few seconds would result in low grade burns.

So the names of all the private citizens will be redacted, right?

Very curious about the three "question mark vs question mark" fatalities. UFO collision? Skateboard jousting?

No, not dual audio. I want more Control. On my Peloton bike I can adjust the volume of the host and the music independently. I want that for TV and movies. Two volume rockers on my remote. One for voice and one for "everything else". I know the technology exists, and it would not be crazy complicated to implement. Well maybe for broadcast TV... But for anything streaming, this should benrelativwly easy to do. I know that the voice and music and FX tracks already exist separately digitally. Let me mix it myself.

2001 sounds right. I was definitely at that one. I remember the t shirt being Satan grabbing his hairy balls and flipping you the bird. They made me turn that t shirt inside out in high school when I wore it. Buncha facists.

I also remember Sony had a PS2 truck there and you could play Twisted Metal Black. It was awesome.

This is the part I love. There are MAGA folk who are like "Bill Clinton is in the files too" and I'm like "hell yeah, lock him up". Shit, lock up every person that visited that island. Drain the swamp, as it was said. If there were democrats that went there, lock them all up. Lock up the movie stars, and whoever else. These are fucking pedophiles.

Adding on "The customer is always right".

People often forget the next few words which are "in matters of taste".

In which case, yes, absolutely. If a paying customer wants a well done steak with ketchup, sure. Or if they want some ugly clothing. Hell yeah, as long as they're paying.

It's not an excuse to act like an entitled asshole.

This one is so crazy to me. I have two friends that seem to be facing this issue right now. One took 6 months off after being laid off from his job because he wanted to, had enough money to, and just wanted to take some time off and travel etc. He keeps getting grilled about it, and has been job hunting for another 6 months on top of it. Now he's been unemployed for a year and is getting grilled even harder for it. Why is that a problem? Like why do people see that as some kind of flaw? "I had the resources to take some time off so I did" seems perfectly fine to me

The other friend was suffering from severe burnout and decided to take a year off to get his own mental health in order. Once again, I don't see the problem with that. If you can afford to take a year off and that's what you want to do with your time and money, then right on, go do that. Life is for living. But now he's having a very hard time getting a job because of it.

Its kinda bullshit.

Those were good times. I was at the Ozzfest where Marilyn Manson humped the back of a security guards head and then got sued for it. Good times indeed.
