Who needs a title?

Heh, I have met some absolute doorknobs in both fandoms. Currently the fascist assholes who miss the point of the whole franchise seem to be concentrated in the Star Wars fandom, but I remember times when this was reversed.

I’m snowed in but I want cheddar broccoli soup and I do not have the ingredients for cheddar broccoli soup. So I will imagine it.

photo makes it look like Odette brought it to me through the blizzard, her ass did NOT help

I have made soup, including cheddar broccoli, though a different brand, in similar packaging, 2 years after posted expiry date with no noticeable drop in quality. The few examples that were bad, were both even older, and in damaged packaging. Don't sweat the dates, eat it when you find it, if you are in the mood.

Sometimes, just sometimes, the cover is so good, it should fall on the author to add in the missing Minotaur porn.

Socialist country? I'm pretty sure i have driven through a dozen or so small towns in red states that look just like the lower picture. Nations that look like that on a large scale, may or may not be socialist in name, but they have nearly certainly been stripped of resources by foreign capitalists. Like the rural towns in the US, but those were stripped by domestic capitalists.

If you are the type to treat a locked door, and several minutes past closing to be the start of negotiations, rather than a sign that you should have been quicker, the first step in negotiations is NOT to minimize and insult the person you are asking a favor of. The first step is to offer a wad of cash, well over and above the cost of the sandwich you are trying to purchase. Be ready to accept that not everyone is open to bribery, you should have been quicker.

I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable

Those in the notes worried about this being AI, it's not - her name is Pan Xiaoting and she's a badass billiards pro

I thin that in my lifetime, over 50 years, it has always been possible to fake that shot. It has just been easier and cheaper to do it for real for most of that time. Faking it convincingly, maybe only the past 20 to 25 years, at least at a reasonable budget. Only in maybe the past 2 or three years, has it gotten both cheap and convincing. Fuck AI for that. It brings doubt on real achievements.

Heh, at least with movies/TV, I don't recall seeing my last name attached to characters. Attached to the actors, writers, and other creatives making the media? Yeah, I see that a lot. I share my last name with a few fairly well known people, no common ancestors born on the North American continent that I know of. Not enough interest to look back further.

write it out in spanish if that's the filmmaker's vision! some lines should be translated and some should be transcribed. 0 should be waved away.

for real though, if you don't translate it, you should transcribe the original language. if a bilingual viewer can understand what they're saying just from listening, then a bilingual viewer who relies on subtitles should also be able to understand those lines.

I see evening as roughly the time from dusk, until most people are heading to bed.

Heh, I fairly sure I recognize most of the pharmaceuticals. Maybe three I am uncertain of. Though retroactive cheating via web search shows i got it wrong when I voted.

When there's a very obvious bloodstain in the hardwood kitchen floor, but the house is 30k under expected price

it's fine

I’d like to point out that the colour red has more positive than negative meanings.

Should this, or similar, come up, be sure to ask, in a way where you seem skittish about the answer. It may drive the price down further. Unless it is a matter of bad sealant on the floor, and spilled beet juice.

annoys me that tumblr has a 'suggest content label' button but not a 'un-suggest content label' button. we should be able to collectively make tumblr take a second look at their stupid filtering decisions.

OK, duplex printing with this thing would be a pain in the ass, though especially using the paper roll, maybe there can be an option for chaining two in sequence, with sensors to match front and back. Also using the 11 inch roll, it would get much easier to print in tabloid size, or even 11 x (arbitrary length). OTOH, using HP tank/print heads? Fuck that. Even enabling the use of refilled cartridges. There are already non HP, consumer grade inkjets on the market with refillable tanks, separate from the print head. Give those companies money for their parts.
