The hammer is my …

Huh, my only question was ‘how does her wingsuit work?’.

The way she lands makes it just look like complete magic.

I think it was ABC that just showed a poll saying 15% of independents would be more likely to vote for Trump if he’s a convicted felon, 8% less likely, and 74% indifferent.

So uh, at least amongst independent voters, no, apparently being a felon does not matter that much.

The 00’s internet had ogrish and bumfights.

That shit was waaay more fucked up in terms of content, but it was also extremely niche.

I have met tons of kids and young adults that act nearly identically to kik streamers or the more insane twitch streamers.

True, I can see the appeal of small Twitch channels where you have a reasonable chance of actually interacting…

…but so many of the larger channels …

1. chat is literally an overwhelming barrage of randomness

2. so, so many streamers develop gigantic egos, and then get into fights with other similar people.

Kik is even worse. While many of the popular people on Twitch have serious personality disorders, Kik seems to legitimately just be streams of gambling and the worst person you knew in high school being paid to commit crimes.

Well thanks for the explanation.

I think Twitch culture is largely cancer so I never followed it.

Never saw the appeal of like watching a Twitch stream for hours and hours.

All the good moments just get clipped by the author or someone else and end up in a time respecting format on youtube anyways?

So OLD.

Oh, so, ‘truthfully’ or ‘verily’.

Welp. Sure, ok. Uh…

How… wtf is the etymology on that? I have no clue how cap = lie.

Last time I talked to a Gen Alpha I literally could not understand 70% of what they were saying. I look a bit younger than I actually am so I had to say look I’m in my 30s, talk to me like I’m a boomer.

Then they dropped the lingo, after rolling their eyes and pouting.

Hooooray for being old. And autistic. Now I’m going to pout.

Can someone explain to me what ‘no cap’ means?

Is it like… no capacity limit… unlimited?

???

I think you mean Niobe.

Few today speak of the legends of old, but many moons ago, denizens of the internet, vastly engrossed in its esoteric knowledge, were said to be able to subsist in a euphoric state, consuming only the fermented gases of a mysterious substance known only as jyenk-uyhm!

Alas, the recipe to this mysterious ambrosia was lost sometime ago, when their sect was obliterated by the cult of the pranic sun drinkers, who claimed to know a more true and more divine manner of being and worldly subsistence.

These days not even the sun drinkers are well known, amidst the carnivorous reign of the Liver King.

May we all remain resolute in these dietarily blasphemous times.

Looks like a mix of the ‘Plant’ generator design in Trigun combined with a bit of Midgar aesthetic from FF7.

Grogu is a cute little baby until you realize he basically committed multiple infanticides by eating multiple of the frog lady’s eggs, and entirely got away with it with no repercussions.

See this would be my solution, make a YT vid about Brazil the movie.

… by an astounding margin.

The paper is paywalled and I am too lazy to look for a free/open link, but the shown graphs indicate many squared meters of energy concentrations of 1 - 10 * 10^39 joules.

The entire energy output of the Sun, in a year, is around 10^34 joules. 6.6 * 10^39 joules is apparently the estimated total mass energy of the Moon, if you basically perfectly E = mc^2 transformed it into pure energy.

In 2010 the estimated total energy consumption of humans on Earth was 5 * 10^20 joules.

So we just need something around ten billion * ten billion more joules than that, presumably generated by something i dont know, naval frigate sized?

Yeah. Faaaaaar off indeed.

‘Never point any firearm at anything you are not intending to destroy’ is like rule one of any gun range or weapons safety course.

This is taught not only to instill fear and respect, but because weapon malfunctions and user errors happen, and they maim and kill people.

I have had squib rounds on the range, and shitty .22 ammo go off 4 seconds after i pulled the trigger. Had I just assumed it was immediately a dud and gone to clear it without waiting, I could have shot the person in the next stall.

I would be.

The damndest thing to me is that the fundamental premise of the show, that of being basically random skits, in a random unfair world, where nothing really matters because multiverse and people are just shitty a lot of the time…

… this fundamental attribute was abandoned for a cohesive lore and seasons that follow entire arcs.

The fucking main theme of the show was randomness and unpredictability, and that was abandoned because apparently the remaining fans completely missed the point and needed a standard structure.

It is truly incredible to me when a fanbase seems to utterly miss the point of the show or movie.

Guys use the redpill to escape from the Matrix by becoming a cartoonish misogynist parody of a self help capitalist!

Patrick Bateman is actually someone I resonate with and idolize!

Lets obsess over and clamor for more and more Neon Genesis Evangelion when the point of the original fucking show is to grow up and have a real life with real experiences despite the traumas of childhood and the whole reboot is literally about how the fan base seemingly cannot do this!

If you mean that you are having an effect on said change… oh god maybe that’s actually correct?

If you are affecting (a) change, that would mean you are basically causing change.

But if you are effecting change, said change would have to have been previously established or referenced.

I think???

English is a goddamned shit-show sometimes.

Anyway, we should bring back the interrobang, and the thorne, and also I actually love the Oxford comma even though the AP style guide hates it.

lol, you are correct!

I hope this does not affect your usage of effect in the correct context.

As a former copy editor I find the effect of using affect incorrectly eye roll inducing.

But yeah, affect is a verb, effect is a noun.

The easy rule of thumb for then/than is that if you are comparing things or qualities or quantities of things, you use than, otherwise, then is used.
