What's something weird and mostly useless that you can do with your body?
  • I have a few that some others in the thread have already mentioned, but I can also:

    • wiggle most of my scalp back and forth
    • retract the middle of the tip of my tongue so when I stick it out, it looks like an ass
    • stop peeing mid-stream. Maybe this is perfectly common, but people talk about not being able to just stop, or at least not for longer than a few seconds.
  • Americans’ new TV habit: Subscribe. Watch. Cancel. Repeat.
  • My favorite/least favorite instance of this kind of oh-so-subtle dysphemism is when CNN (I think) ran a piece about some marketing suit's complaint that millennials are "brand promiscuous", for basically the same reason as we're seeing with these streaming services applied to other products. This sort of thing is what led to r/DeathByMillennial.

  • The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion
  • After leaving it in my backlog for close to a decade, I finally started playing Fallout 3. Yeah. On a technical level it's mostly fine, save for some shocking framerate dips and the way it sometimes repeats my movement inputs. Other than that, it's a pretty good game, particularly for loot whores like myself.

  • Alec Baldwin indicted for involuntary manslaughter in fatal gunfire on film set
  • If he's not lying about not pulling the trigger, then he, or the firearms manager, also bought a dangerously cheap gun.

    The whole thing was a cascading failure, imho, with Baldwin at the end of it, making him no less culpable than anyone before him. Ultimately, "I didn't know the gun was loaded" is never an excuse.

  • HP CEO: You're 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies
  • we sort of see a 20 percent uplift on the value of that customer because you're locking that person, committing to a longer-term relationship.

    Do these people never listen to themselves? Who the hell wants to be "locked"?

  • Games that force you to make hard choices
  • An indie game called OneShot from the Undertale knockoff genre has only one choice that matters, but god damn what a horrible choice, particularly since a child has to make it. And by the way, the game is called OneShot because it's designed to be played exactly once. If you want to play again, you have to mess with some files to do so.

  • Games that force you to make hard choices
  • I didn't sleep the night after I played that part in MGS5. "We live and die by your orders, Boss" while morosely humming the Peace Walker theme -- it's like Kojima was trying to make the player share Snake's PTSD.
