Well that was odd: I got online and immediately saw that scene from Event Horizon where they unscramble the video log.
No, wait, my mistake: that was the r/coys post-match thread.

Spent the morning dealing with 300+ begging emails from Photobucket flooding my inbox after disabling GMail's smart features.
Hopefully nothing else irritating is on the agenda for today, especially not for a couple of hours starting at 4:30...

Google did another shitty thing. You now have to go opt out in Gmail to avoid having their AI train on your stuff.

Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out
A new Gmail update may allow Google to use your private messages and attachments for AI training. Here's how to turn it off.

If you ever think you're selling yourself short, remember that Iron Butterfly got fifteen minutes of fame from a 17-minute song.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

I don't work in advertising, but surely the number one rule for any game ad campaign is to not have people instinctively humming the theme of another game.
In a completely unrelated note, does anyone else find themselves humming the Super Mario theme whenever they see the Battlefield RedSec ad...?
