Oh haha I didn’t even mean to! How was it like a theme park? Agree on the Disney land comparison. I almost wrote that yesterday but ran out of characters

I think I may be able to still do the entirety of “goodnight goodnight construction site” by heart. None of my kids almost ever fell asleep during reading so I never learned the joys of the abridged editions

And I didn’t even KNOW you could do a swear in animal crossing!
What do you play mostly?

It’s not the thing I would choose on my own but I had a lot of fun when I went. Went to an ice lounge with my wife before we were married where all the furniture was carved from ice which was super cool. We only had about a day and a half though so likely didn’t see even a fraction of nice stuff

Friend had a Vegas wedding (which despite expectations actually was really nice) and they had a place with a lazy river and a floating bar. I imagine the life guards have to be more active than usual though.

“I play this game because it helps me relax”
<person listening points at the music changing to indicate you’re starting to drown>
“So…” <eye twitch> “relaxing…”

I would love if that’s true. But I think what we’ll see is the kinds of employers that will see people scrambling to get into those jobs will see it as a reason to reduce wages and ask for some of the women to work late. This will be a blink if every other job has equal leverage… which they don’t.

I’m also curious how much money he’s getting from the health wearable industry…
Which, incidentally is insane. There is no stigma against health wearables, you don’t need to make them “cool”

Jodhpurs have a weird history of being associated with less than the nicest of people, but they also have been part of the costumes of some of the coolest too. Exhibit A

I get that everyone’s looking at the evil looking clown but captain Triumph looks like his super power was “are you sure there’s something in these edibles? Cause I don’t feel anything and I had fourteen”

Rogue One: dork culls Orson
(Andor’s a loveable dork right? And we are on a first name basis with Krennic?)

A glass of juice with a red garnish stuck in it goes to the doctor.
Doctor,I’m so depressed what can I do?
Ah, treatment simple, said the doctor. Mix an aromatic drink from Hawaii with the subtle sweetness of southern Chinese fruit.
The glass burst into tears and said but Doctor, I AM pog lychee!

If she can’t handle you at your worst then handling Jason at his best is just right out the window, isn’t it.

I feel the same way of naturally inclining towards “went” but I simply love the process of “there are some interesting possibilities like <3 digit already fairly niche number>… _or_ <12 digit (!) one>”. The existence of such discussions make the world an immeasurably better place.

I’m sure you’ll do wonderfully but that’s a fun thing to find out

There’s a darker side to this which is that as a result of this job-implied protection you’ll see a bunch of people begging to be hired in those fields. Which will allow the bosses of those fields to lower wages or expect extra compensation. There’s gonna be some real grim stories out of this.

I… wasn’t expecting parts of the ending to go where they went but I guess consistent with the movie. Lots of silly fun

Dr who is playing bagpipes to draw snake people away… of course he is. This movie is a friggin delight

While I also was a heavy soda man I’m begging you sir to drink water. Last thing we need is for you to get a kidney stone NOW.
We need you pissed, not unable to

Did anyone ever ask HOW gambit found them? Does he just wander through peoples houses opening up boxes to see if they contain cards or is the assumption that she showed them to him and he just happened to pick them up on his way out?

I was thinking of a similar thing! I can’t for the life of me get my kids to play games unless there’s a massive amount of planning, so I was considering using the table in the “room no one ever uses but there’s a table for some reason” and rotate some pre-setup games to see if they bite

Wondering if there’s not a great opportunity for the web to actually be smart in headlines and alter the headline depending on where it’s linked from.The article brings up thoughtful points on Bluesky that I think would prompt good discussion here. Lead with a headline that’s GOOD when linking here.

Reading the article the headline is clickbait. They are actually defensive of bluesky and bring up thoughtful points.
I think the difficulty is that discussing it in media REQUIRES you to frame it negatively to get clicks because that’s the only way to get notice ON TWITTER.

At a certain point can’t we just citizen drive some of this? Doctors publicly publish research, a team of elected doctors publish guidelines external to the government. People get used to filtering out the agency saying we need to eat raw liver and milk from the gutter

Stop remembering how we used to also have to say “Xbox… ON! Did it… did it work? Xbox… X—BOX!! ON!” cause that makes my point seem dumber
