Consider me mild to moderately hyped!

He didn’t fulfill the Qanon prophecies.

You know that thing where you try to say “cool” and “good” at the same time and end up saying “gool” and feel kind of dumb, but it’s totally fine and it happens to everyone?

That but “migrant” and the n-word, and it’s not totally fine and doesn’t happen to everyone, because one of the words is the n-word.

I think minoxidil just makes hairs last longer, not make them denser or grow faster.

It’s normal for beards to be uneven while growing in. If you want one, just pick a couple weeks where you’re not going to see anyone you’ll feel self conscious of seeing you with a crap beard. People start growing them during vacations for a reason.

I’m sure a lot of people want to shoot Trump, so it’s actually very considerate of the Trump shooters to both miss, preserving this scarce resource for other future shooters.

Is there a way to add a tactical grip to the cans?

The thing about nature vs nurture is that people always imagine “nature” to be genetic instead of whatever random chemical bullshit happened in the womb while your brain was growing, and “nurture” to be Important Conversations with your parents and teachers instead of that one time you overheard some phrase that you completely misinterpreted because you were five and fully incorporated that misinterpretation into your worldview for years. But the total quantity of random bullshit outweighs the “important” parts by orders of magnitude.

You know how if you dig deep enough on tumblr, you can find someone who, by combining the language of intersectional feminism with sniffing their own farts, has found a way to argue… I don’t know, white people having houseplants that don’t originate from Europe is actually cultural appropriation?

What if we dedicated an entire forum to finding and mocking people like that, from a nominally leftist position, so we can justify class reductionism? Then we could act really surprised when nazis join in too, but fail to do much about it, and just become a nazi forum that sometimes complains about capitalism. Welcome to stupidpol.

You don’t need to worry about dialectics unless you have kidney failure.

Jesus fucking christ, give people a bit more time to make an ass of themselves before jumping to that.

I already got fancy strut #6 last time this was posted, so can I double down and also get fancy strut #12?

Maybe they think you’re going in for the kill (and doing it for the thrill).

I actually like this wrap lol.

Still hate the truck.

Quarantines based on contact tracing, ample sick leave, culture of wearing a mask when feeling sick, easy access to tests, vaccines.

If every country did it, covid would still be around, but getting stuck in quarantine would become a less and less frequent annoyance. Eventually the spread would be low enough that the mutation rate would settle down, and vaccines would start being more effective.

The games people get nostalgic about and remember are determined by a mix of actual quality, how many people played them new, current availability, and whether they’re tied to any ongoing franchises.

Everybody remembers the old Mario games because they were actually good, they were the most produced NES carts, Nintendo keeps re-releasing them, and Nintendo keeps making more Mario games which openly advertise 8-bit Mario. A lot fewer people remember The Guardian Legend (which owned btw) because it had a smaller distribution and has no franchise or rereleases and its parent company spends all its time barely managing to market Puyo. Nobody remembers the Adventure Island series, even though there were five thousand of them, because they were just kind of bad. If you go to my personal nostalgia mines of late 90s mac shareware, nobody remembers any of this, because approximately nobody played these, none of the companies stuck around, and it’s a pain in the ass to set up the emulators (Bumbler Bee-Luxe is great, Escape Velocity Nova is great and also available outside a horrible mac emulator).

So for old mobile game nostalgia, I think it’s going to run into a wall. There’s a trillion of them and everybody played different ones, so there’s no critical mass for the Tiny Wings nostalgia fandom. They were made by tiny companies, or just one random developer, who eventually abandon them (either because they move on, or because they don’t want to have the old version compete against more predatory sequels). And the app stores constantly change standards and require apps to be updated, so the apps eventually stop being listed in the store.

I was hoping the conspiracy would be that there’s natural cheese caves where you could just mine cheese.

(I’d eat it.)

What, like a cat?
