I became an expert on setting the timer on the VCR so that it would record multiple shows at different time segments on Adult Swim. Then I would have to watch them the next day because I only had 1 tape that I was recording over every night. It got really scratchy looking after awhile.

You can watch Ethan and Hila’s video directly without the commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytOl5hbTrCY

In her own words, she wasn’t merely a disinterested conscript. She took the initiative to directly involve herself with the occupation and oppression of the West Bank.

It’s crazy how 9/11 scrambled everyone’s brain so much. They had spent the better part of the 90s watching an incredibly popular TV show about how the hegemonic American government was engaged nefarious plots and was not to be trusted.

Extremely funny if they cancel the third part of the trilogy

My teacher went on a long rant about how the Mexican/American War of the 1848s was totally justified because of the provocations and corruption of the Mexican government, and how they weren’t doing enough development in Texas, and in any case Texas was ethnically white and should have belonged to the USA anyhow. It took me years before I thought about how weird that rant was.

Onions are so fucking good. They make almost every savory dish better.

Libs seem very unconditional-surrender-brained about this conflict. Even concept of considering Russian desires in a potential peace settlement makes them so fucking angry.

I can’t wait for the NYPD vs Feds standoff

Anyone who’s main army are Ultramarines is sus.

That was what the final stretch of Zelda TotK was like for me. Defeating Ganon took a back seat to sleuthing and dungeon diving to finish out my outfit.

IRL main character version of doing all the Daedric quests.

Socialism will never match this level of innovation

Bottom center. Orbital solar is going to be the energy source of fully automated luxury gay space communism. Especially if we can’t get fusion to work (there’s no guarantee that reactor based fusion will ever be feasible, the laws of physics don’t owe it to us).

It’s the coordination work. Project management, accounting, purchasing, compliance, etc, is about figuring out what the hell is going on, and what the hell should be done. When an organization reaches certain thresholds of complexity, a lot of labor needs to be spent on those kind of activities, or else the whole operation of the organization seizes up.

The day to day varies, but spending all day updating spreadsheets and sending emails is common. A lot of them are bullshit, and only exist to fight fires that other parts of the organization are lighting. Many are complex and require extensive training to do, but most can probably be done by someone who just lied on their resume. They are physically cushy, and often pay better than manual labor or standing-up jobs (but not always, especially not the ones that don’t require any credentials).

Damnit, I’ve been eating a delicious Mediterranean diet for nothing…

It’s one of the grossest threads I’ve ever seen, just hootin and hollerin about a brutal atrocity.

Paintball is super fun, and typically the fields have more “gamey” layouts. I have more fun with it. The paintballs themselves are more visible and visceral, so it’s easier to perceive when you’re getting shot at… and makes tags against other players all the more satisfying.

Both are fun, and are fundamentally the same sort of game. I think paintball works way better as a walk-on game. But airsoft is much easier to play in an outlaw setting (that is: not on a paid field).

In both cases, you’re going to be playing with some chuds.
