he literally tried it once already, we don’t really need to speculate if he’d go for it

I feel like ATC is one of those pattern-recognition constraint-satisfaction problem jobs where a (non-generative!) algorithm can probably do a pretty good job.

I like to listen to the Muckrake podcast for analysis of recent events.

Even effects-forward pieces like Jurassic Park still hold up because everyone on the island is a memorable character and the plot is exciting! Though it’s true that the constraints on effects might have caused that - the dinosaurs in that movie only had about 15 minutes of total screen-time, so they had to actually, y’know, write.

“My ad preferences” are no ads

With the deprecation of UBlock Origin, it’s time.

This post has a very pleasant and prosocial energy. Thanks for your enthusiasm! I agree, the topiary is great!

Even though my vaxxes are up to date, I caught the new variant recently. It was pretty nasty - a lot like strep throat.

Yep. One Pace basically just uses the manga for the storyboards without the extra bloat (though some exclusive anime segments got kept if they added to the experience), and the whole thing ends up being 40% shorter overall - and more importantly, it’s more dynamic and exciting to watch.

They have a website at onepace.net. Their actual site is not working currently, but at least it redirects to their Discord server where you can get the streaming and magnet links you are searching for!

She’s literally already on the ticket as his replacement in case he has a medical issue

Reminder that even though All Cops Are Bastards, the chief executive oversees the executive branch and so every president is a cop regardless.

I have a VPN, so this could definitely work.

Someone with finger joint issues should probably stay away from cajon - it’s a knuckle-rapping simulator.

That’s honestly very cool. As long as he’s not being an ass about it, I think it’s neat that he’s expressing himself on a daily basis and wearing what makes him happy.

That’s all, folks!

Given the history of the series, I find this to be pretty endearing. I have fond memories of playing the multi-disc Baldurs Gate 1 on PC as a child. It’s kinda fun to see that today’s gamers will have a similar experience with the same series nearly 30 years later.

Isn’t this just Taco Bell?

They were paid in cocoa beans… 😖
