Balatro + Steam Deck is a dangerous combination. Honestly, if it was just a Balatro device, it would be still be worth it.

Cringe just means second-hand embarrassment and it started being used for things beyond that (by Gen-Z, ironically). The word, in its original meaning, still works.
Maybe fremdscham (a la schadenfreude) will become the replacement after some cringey millennial writes about it in an editorial.

The news to watch for is what is going to happen to the tourism industry on the Cape in the next couple months.
The buzz around here is that there will be a shortage of H-2B (and undocumented) seasonal workers in the restaurants/hospitality jobs for the upcoming season.

I wonder how much crossover there is between people who "find out they are schizophrenic" after taking psychedelics and the chatgpt-fever people. The scenario is somewhat similar, the hallucinations of chatgpt supplanting the hallucinations from psilocybin/lsd etc.

hell yeah - Sicario: "Del Toro began cutting some of his dialogue to preserve the mystery of who his character is; Villeneuve estimated they cut 90% of what Del Toro was originally intended to say by screenwriter Taylor Sheridan."
Not my favorite movie but that character works for that reason.

the real question regarding any adaptation of wuthering heights is "is it more accurate than the kate bush song"?

there is a slight syncopation after "it's", like a gasp for air because she realizes that the Thuggish Ruggish Bone is here.

When I moved to New England from the midwest I was informed that those words each have a slightly different pronunciation / inflections. Beh-ree and Bare-ee.
They might be right but it is subtle.

I spend longer than that when I make French Onion soup. Sometimes 4+ hours to get them where I wa I like to do 10lbs of Vidalias, thin strips. If you let it go a long time it ger gooey and dark as possible
Good things come to those who wait, in this case especially.

My in laws lived through the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. They are the only people I've ever spoken to about Mao that have been able to convey what "Maoism" really is.
Let's be real though, its a dog whistle that conveniently conjures up Asians as evil communists. Foreshadowing.

parking an RV on a city street is bad but blocking a bike lane AND a handicap spot as well is wild.
with a name like shadow cruiser you'd think it'd be a little more inconspicuous

Probably on the list because of their Citizen by Investment policies (maybe?) because "security"?
Their programs are totally different than the "Gold Card Citizenship" that Trump was rambling about - primarily because the people who live in those countries are black.
