Watched INFINITY WAR and ENDGAME the last couple days 'cause I'm feeling a bit blah and needed something familiar as entertainment, and just like... I dunno, it's weird that when we talk about the MCU doldrums we don't so often emphasize the part where Chadwick Boseman died

This isn’t a real thing. “Anglerfish are defined by gills that open behind the pectoral fins (as opposed to other fish whose pectorals lay behind the gill opening).” This isn’t an anglerfish. Also, it’s got a secondary mouth like a xenomorph. I’m betting it’s AI.

The NHL should avoid places where ice doesn’t form naturally. Forming in a freezer or lab doesn’t count.
Florida having ice hockey teams is unnatural and spiteful to God.

My dad probably has ADHD. You listen to him talk about how the nuns treated him in school, and it is both evident, and heartbreaking. “What’s wrong with you?” “Why won’t you live up to your potential?” These are some of the more mild things…

I once saw a nun beating a child in a parking lot.
You ever explain “candy cigarettes” aloud to a Gen Alpha person only to realize that you were an abused child?
No?
Oh, me neither then…

Oooh! The Mass Effect effect!
Stranger Things finale so bad the fans have fallen into Sherlock-tier hysterics insisting there's a secret ending that will air in one week and actually finish the story. ConformityGate sounds more like the secret operation to oust Maduro than like, a tv show continuity

This is not a precedent they want established…

Mint.com and RocketMoney.com both use AI to study your transactions, and predict what you might buy to help serve you ads, credit card offers, and other predatory bullshit.
