I miss forums. I like synthesizers and video games and cameras and I really should make more things. (he/him)

Americaโ€™s felony murder doctrine always feels totally ridiculous and disconnected from the basic principles of criminal liability to me but never more than in cases where the cops shoot and kill someone and then charge the victimโ€™s friends with murder because they were committing a crime together.

Funny thing, one of the best breakfast spots around here is located inside the local Toyota dealership. I have no idea why it's there, it just is, and I can confirm they serve a delicious meal.

This video shows the process behind one continuous shot showing a condensed period of time in a woman's life and the changes to her apartment in the show Kidding. AI could make something that looks kind of like this but it could never make you wonder about it. You'd never discuss it with friends.

GameCube only took two years from launch to get cut in half to $100 (~$175). When Wii U launched, the price of the Wii was down to $130 (~$180), down nearly half from its launch price.

And now the Switch is up $40, 8 years after launch and months after its successor's launch.

Stupidest timeline.

New console comes out, so of course the old console is now... More expensive than it was at launch, eight years ago?

Remember when, a year after US launch, the SNES price was cut in half to just $100 (~$230 today)? Two years before GameCube launched, the N64 was down to $100 (~$195) as well.

โ€œminimizing crueltyโ€? Wow, what an inspiring phrase.

ICE is cooked, and should be abolished. Itโ€™s the Gestapo now, and thereโ€™s no reforming that. Our country was fine without ICE for over 220 years, we can do without it once more.

I assume itโ€™s just the DLC. Not sure though because I didnโ€™t finish the game until after I had all the DLC. IMHO, the DLCs are all more enjoyable than the main story.

So I want to swing around into a more good-faith take on this weird "Joe Rogan/Steve Miller Of The Left" thing that's making the rounds.

I think there's a cromulent well-meaning interpretation buried somewhere in it, but IMHO it still sucks.

Here's a sloppy thread explaining my thinking. ๐Ÿงต/๐Ÿงต

Ok I found a package that does 70% of what I want so Iโ€™ll use that but in my heart of hearts I know Iโ€™m just avoiding learning RegEx

I gotta tell ya, I'm a man, and at no point ever have my political leanings been determined by "will this party help me get laid?".

I'm a fat nerd and I never needed politicians to help me there. Maybe those who are struggling with this should self-reflect instead of trying vote their way to sex.

My local grocery store walled off its cosmetics section. Literally looks like a TSA checkpoint. Big plexiglass walls around the whole thing. Only one way in and out and there's a single cashier in there. If I want shampoo, I have to purchase it separately from everything else. I hate it.
