I was at a church once where one bathroom said „women“ on the door and the other just had a portrait of Jesus. I was not sure which would have been the worse faux pas for me to use.

Every single time I have to buy a wireless version of something that used to be wired I just think“ahh cool, another device that will only hold a charge for about 10 minutes in a year or two.“

I just ordered a set of Audio Technica M20XBT headphones, and while they have bluetooth they come with a 3.5mm cord that actually puts the audio through it. They come in a non-bluetooth pure wired version too but I couldn't find that for sale anywhere nearby.

Love all the doorless rooms to the southeast, you can Cask of Amontillado so any people in this house. A whole chorus of at least 10 „Montresor please!“‘s going all at once.

I graduated from a state university. 3 things were certain after budget talks:
1) the art department budget would be cut
2) the new men’s football coach would have a higher salary than last year’s
3) the men’s football team would continue to suck hard (last time they were in a bowl game was 1960)

Republicans: if we win everyone will have to eat a shit sandwich.
Democrats: if we win, we will make sure that the republicans’ shit sandwich is tax-deductible.

An art piece by Goran Gligovic of a sword resting against a battered tree in front of a rocky dungeon entrance amidst a snowy field. The text says UNBAN GORAN GLIGOVIC.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.

Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

To be fair, it’s put on after the pizza is baked (hollandaise on pizza is not uncommon here).

The Texas pizza has tuna fish and corn.

The pizza place near my house in Germany has special pizzas named after major US cities and states. The buffalo pizza has broccoli and hollandaise sauce on it.

Screnshot from a pop-up windows on logging into Dropbox announcing that you may now use emojis like "rocket ship, music note, cat, pride flag, and pray" as part of your file and folder names.

I am trying to imagine working for any company that is excited about being able to finally use emojis in file names, and the only thing imaginary me is doing is quickly updating his resume.

Loren‘s posts and process threads provide a fascinating glimpse into game making in general and procedural generation in specific. I don’t have money to subscribe but maybe someone who follows me does.

I grew up in New Mexico and there’s a park on the banks of the Rio Grande in Las Cruces called La Llorona Park. Got a playground for the kids and everything.

The quality of the product is not the issue here.

"You should just be flattered that they thought your work was good enough to steal" nah man, pay your artists. Also "buy your own copy?" really?

Has the leader of my country gone mad with power and demanded that the serfs build him a lavish ballroom. Does my food have dangerously high levels of lead in it.

Just once this decade I would love to have a problem that I wouldn’tve faced in the 12th century. „A plague has come upon our land. Can I afford enough eggs for my family. Are our neighbors safe from religious zealots. Count the fingers on this hand to make sure it isn’t a fae trying to mislead me.“

They added it to fucking excel, literally the place where you absolutely 100% do not want any possibility of error.

All the emotions you need for a character to feel fully fleshed out - smiling slightly while looking to the left, smiling slightly while looking to the right, smiling slightly while closing your eyes and facing left.

Using Photoshop to add the "coca cola" logo to the back of a truck in a single frame, as you do when making a video.

God bless the random British guy with 10 followers on YouTube who has filmed himself making every single DIY repair to his 2017 Skoda Fabia. Our car still has working electric windows thanks to him.

I was hootin' and hollerin' as soon as I saw that puppet start to move. Loved how everyone played it completely straight when talking to or about the puppet.

IMO it’s because no one in tech actually wants a solid business model, they want instant exponential growth and then to cash out.

Wow I saw this post and immediately said „Imhotep is invisible“ to nobody, like a sleeper agent was activated.
