They should hide somewhere in the game itself the real credits of the people that spent significant effort to make the game. An Easter Egg if you will. Like just after defeating the dragon, you find a scroll in their horde with the real credits.

Just another way to dehumanize.

They work great until they don't. I've had the same experience, be prepared to replace it occasionally because it's usually near impossible to disassemble and clean the pump mechanism completely.

These are fair points, that I have no real argument with, but I do have a different perspective.

• Tastes vary widely, especially when you try to start trying to throw a little humor into the horror mix. I genuinely enjoy watching some things others really hate and conversely can't stand to watch some franchises that I know are actually pretty good.
• I freely admit that I enjoy cheaply made horror and movies that makes big swings and take wild chances. Sometimes that works out. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes even the failures open the door to something else. The Alien franchise might have taken a really different direction if James Cameron didn't work on Galaxy of Terror (a low budget mess of a movie that I don't recommend to anyone that isn't seriously into bad movies the way I am). Even though I don't like Galaxy of Terror enough to repeatedly watch it, I'm grateful for the insight.
• I think the trick really is to find a reviewer(s) whose taste align with yours. For example, I enjoy watch Brandon Tenold's takes on cult movies on YouTube. I don't always bother to find and watch the movies he reviews, but after watching his take I can usually get a good feel for if I'll enjoy it enough to spend the time and effort to find and watch it.
• My time for movies, shows, and books is not precious and limited. If I start watching or reading something that I'm not into, I'm okay with not finishing it. There's no reason to torture myself over it, I just move on. I don't consider this a waste of time.

I use the word pardon because there are lots of local Spanish speakers, tourist/seasonal French Canadian speakers, and occasionally tourists from farther abroad around and I'd rather be understood than pretend everyone speaks English. When speaking to strangers, like when I'm asking forgiveness for being an inconvience to them or trying to politely get someone's attention, preferring loan words that really don't need translation in order to be understood just seems like good citizenship and also more kind.

We figured it out in the last millennium, I think we can figure it out again.

The real reason would probably be that you'd need to make the soles out of rubber again instead of the cheap foam that almost all modern (fast fashion disposable) shoes are made with these days.

• Kashmir - Led Zeppelin. Really anything from Physical Graffiti or by John Bonham.
• Caravan - Buddy Rich
• The Blues Walk - Max Roach & Clifford Brown
• Tom Sawyer - Rush. Or really anything else with Neil Peart.
• John the Fisherman - Primus. They won't be the same since Tim "Herb" Alexander left the band, but I'm sure he has his reasons.(also: Hamburger Train, Over the Electric Grapevine, Tommy the Cat, Mr. Knowitall, Harold of the Rocks)
• Discipline - King Crimson (also: Thela Hun Ginjeet and most of the rest of the album, which seems to mostly treat the guitar as a percussion instrument more than most.)

Sorry if these are cliche.

That's not what happened in the show though.

What actually happened: She read her grandmother's journal that had surprisingly spicy bits. Went to bed and was raped by a non-corporeal being and deceived into thinking it was a dream. She then tried to rationalize this disturbing dream to her close friend and therapist.

Trying to twist this into something else is just creepy

Again with the toxic shaming. Nobody, except you, said anything about masturbation. Stop being fucking weird.

Wait are you Rick Berman?

So what? You're awfully proud of your hangups. Everybody's grandmother had a lover or lovers. Everybody's grandmother FUCKED. Stop making totally normal life experiences weird and shameful.

Say no more, you had me at Jeffrey Combs.

I guess women aren't allowed to be sexual? No excusing the other sexist Rick Berman nonsense. But if you really think women reading about, finding pleasure in, and talking about erotic literature with their friends and co-workers isn't a fairly common, mundane, and totally normal thing to do without any shame, then I really don't know what to say. This feels like a really creepy thing to take issue with.

You can save the entire ship, cure random space diseases, raise a child alone on a starship faced with existential threats on the daily, but you fuck one ghost and now men only see you as the ghost-fucker.

The language or the bill would seem to apply to laptops and many single board computers too. How is something so board even enforceable?

That would be quite a surprising find indeed. I'm pretty sure that we would have already observed the gravitational effects of such a planet though. The Planet X and Planet Y the article refers to are out on the fringes of the solar system with Pluto, which is still pretty neat I think.

Because shows got a tax break for things like this.

The diffraction effects from a pinhole camera are not what make them work.

I didn't say this, you did. You're chasing your own tail.

Is this wit or a genuine request that one of us explainsthejoke.com?

The ratio of the size of the image to the distance from the pinhole is the same as the ratio of the size of the sun to the distance to the sun.
