If “A Major” in the title was intentional, then bravo!
Honestly I’d be exited to be able to meet the composer anyway, and maybe give him a pat on the head.

ME TOO! MY BIG BROTHER SAID IT’S CAPS UNLOCK BUT I CAN’T FIND THAT KEY ANYWHERE.
What’s their source? john-travolta-looking-around.gif
“The Democrats” sounds worse than “the Democratic party.” Isn’t putting “the” in front of a label just a way to “other” them? When I see people say something about, for example, “the Jews,” it’s usually something bad, as opposed to when they say “Jewish people.”
the Borderlands movie I would have loved will never exist.
For me it’s Monster Hunter. I refuse to watch the one they made a few years ago. I wonder if there’s a supercut of only scenes that feature the monsters. Or anything involving the Charge Blade.
After reading the synopsis, why tf did they have to make it an isekai?
And even if that bullet traveled at escape velocity it would only end up in a slightly more eccentric orbit. If my mental model is right, they would have to wait until a bit after sunset and shoot straight up to send it in the right direction while encountering the least atmospheric drag.

Thanks for expanding my vocab! “Screed” is a great word for his insane ramblings.
Yeah, I’m aware that all or numbers and models are, at best, representative of what is really happening. That’s what I love about the limits of our knowledge: there always something more to learn.
I wonder how spacetime around a black hole’s ergosphere is represented by the “flow” analogy. Maybe like water swirling around a drain?
That’s perfectly valid. With the gold thing, I was referring to the fact that people say it verbatim as I typed, (seemingly) every time. IMO it feels less genuine when someone doesn’t thank another using their own words.
By the way, your respectful disagreement is another reason why I like Lemmy. Courtesy seems to be more common over here :D
That’s a really interesting perspective. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it described that way before, but it’s very easy for me to grasp. Do you have any resources I can look into for more information? Does that concept have a name I can look up?
I thought my family were the only ones! Must have been to differentiate it from the “Super Nintendo” we also had.
Along with everyone else’s great points, I’m so glad I don’t have to suffer through another “thanks for the gold, kind stranger!” Or yet another painful comment chain of “puns” that are more like weak rhyming/word association, often reusing the same tired phrases. That entire place is so boring and uncreative.
Long live Lemmy!
Okay, my own post needs a TL/DR 😂 so very basically: Don’t give these greedy fucks your money. Anyway, here goes…
I just watched/listened to the episode again at work. I also recommend you watch the episode (he tells it better than I can), but here’s my rough summary:
And that’s about it as well as I could summarize. Hope it helps you stay informed about why you should never give these shitty companies your hard-earned money.
John Oliver has a great piece about dollar stores (and DG specifically) that really opened my eyes. I never used to go there, but now I never will.
Lever guy should be smiling for being presented with the easiest decision of his life.
Not being able to give support to friends and family will feel really weird.
I see it as being liberated. Besides, while it’ll suck to be unable to fix their problems, if it gets bad enough that they consider other operating systems, you’ll be right there to help them switch!
Never heard of the greengrocer’s apostrophe so I looked it up. https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-a-greengrocers-apostrophe-1690826
I absolutely love that there’s a group called the Apostrophe Protection Society. Is there something like that for the Oxford Comma? I’d gladly join them!
As I read all these classic lines (and try not to roll my eyes out of my head), I can see them scrolling up a TV screen—some in yellow text—just like those old “Greatest Hitz” CD commercials.
I nominate Steven Ogg for the task.
They live kinda far away but I’ll definitely do that next time I see him!
G CONNEEEEEEEEECT!
