I think there was even a shirt of this comic on ThinkGeek back when it was awesome and made Tauntaun sleeping bags and such.

This sadly would probably work on me, since I have at least once been more than halfway through a Statham film before realising I had seen it before.
I do love them though for some brain-off time 😅

I remember getting athiest-pilled in the early 2010's reading The God Delusion. I was all aboard until a passage saying being molested by a priest wasn't as bad as being made to believe in hell. I took a step back at that point and was like, I don't know about all that my guy. Didn't finish the book

Yeah there are gaps in my collection from bands that are too big/small (which is to say young bands, kids these days etc.) To be on bandcamp.
Another problem is this big dumb island I live on means if I want to order a physical cd it's like +$90 of my colourful dollars.
Still better than streaming

By the Dark Muses, that's why I love bandcamp. I only wish everyone was on there by default. Full albums, bought with money, that live on my phone. That I can listen to any time, any place, uninterrupted and in album order.
Even though I know it makes me sound like this when I talk about it.

Oh lord no. It's just got snakes and fires and monsters and dismemberment and corpses strung up like Christmas lights.

The anthology I'm in is up for pre-order 🥰
A story featuring correct spelling of the word "torsos," without an extra E.
Because who would do that? A person who while trying to turn off all AI functions, turned off spellcheck too? Leading to a mortifying editors note?
Not me. You can't prove it.

I think everyone who uses AI should ask it something they already know a definitive answer to; and see how [not] accurate it is.
For example, my sister got an AI overview of a study that claimed the oppsite of the study result was true. Which she knew, because she was the author of the study 🙃

I kept thinking of this Simpsons scene during Wrecking Crew.
Like this mafia can be involved in a elaborate conspiracy, but their answer to conflict is "attack helicopter in broad daylight on a busy freeway"

I used to volunteer to sing the national anthem on stage for school assemblies. Both verses.
Why?
Because after, me and my singing friends could sit togther in the spacious stage alcove instead of crammed together on the hall floor for the rest of the speeches.

Makes sense this is how they feel. One of the best things about immigration & diversification of society is new ideas: anathema to how the AI regurgitation machine operates.

But hey, wasn't kidnapped 👍
It was just a breakneck switch in alliances between a random grouping of humans on a packed train replacement bus. With me and the now-ally bus driver horrifically at the centre.
And it was the last shift of the week and I was so, so very tired.
