I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE

Some English brats got there 40 years earlier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottingley_Fairies

Everyone’s ragging on the Christmas retail ambience songs, but at least you can mitigate the risks of hearing those ones by staying the fuck out of shopping malls. My top three:

• Cotton Eye Joe
• Whatever that song is that’s basically just “tonight’s gonna be a good night” over and over
• Danza Kuduro

The Big Lebowski

The strobe light problem might also be caused by putting a LED that’s not dimmer-compatible on a dimmer switch

Motherfucker put a trigger warning on that shit

Hang on, am I reading that correctly? You had nightmares for 7 years?

I think it was rated PG-13, not R

In fact it was rated PG. The resulting backlash, along with a similar situation with Gremlins, directly resulted in the MPAA creating the PG-13 rating.

First of all, this is amazing.

Second: your parents let you have a mohawk?

Shush you, Venice is magnificent. Wouldn’t want to live there but it’s an extraordinary place absolutely worth experiencing. Ancient, labyrinthine, palaces and churches everywhere, it’s like stepping into the Renaissance.

Sssssshhh, there there, it’s ok. They’re feature phones

Don’t know if the panelist that kept saying ‘pussy’ was deliberately baiting her into revealing her hypocrisy, but if they were then fucking bravo.

Quoth Wikipedia, “Even when at peak magnitude of 2.5, this recurrent nova is dimmer than about 120 stars in the night sky.”

The fact that “recurrent nova” is a thing caught me by surprise though, Reminded me of the on/off star from A Deepness in The Sky

Didn’t know about this. How long are we talking, minutes, hours?

Alpha Centauri baby! Still one of my favourite games, I wonder if it still works

Reminds me of this dialogue from Ghost World

Enid : You know, we need to find a place where you can go to meet women who share your interests.
Seymour : Well maybe I don’t want to meet someone who shares my interests. I hate my interests.

Yeah, that’s fair. Still curved though. In my defense I had it right in my brain, the idea got garbled on its way to the keyboard
