It didn’t get great reviews but I enjoyed Pain & Gain

I signed up for a gothic class my frosh year that was described as American gothic-- vampires, werewolves, all that good stuff. I dunno if the prof didn’t write the course description or if it got changed later but it was English gothic, which apart from the origins of the genre (Walpole, which ended up being hilarious because tons of modern tropes originated there, like the maiden in the castle using the subterranean staircase to flee from the mad king when a gust of wind blows her candle out) and some of the more satirical stuff (Austin), it was incredibly boring to read.

There was one called The Mysteries of Udolpho that’s this meme times 10, where during a wagon trip there are literal 30 page descriptions of tress. I get if we’d been warned that this sort of thing was largely historical and we could pretty much skip the sweeping depictions of scenery that only existed because most people in the 19th century didn’t get to travel much so it was exciting to read about exotic landscapes, but the assignment merely amounted to “Here’s a 650 page novel, go read it for next week.”

At least we got to do Frankenstein and I think there was one Poe story thrown in as well (despite being American).

Betteridge would say no, but the Star Wars holiday special exists.

Not sure why these articles are only coming out now. My work bought me a win11 computer a few months ago and I was surprised to learn that the first few things I downloaded to the desktop showed up on my one drive. I don’t really use the account I have on it for much, and it was easy enough to turn off in settings but it was still a shock.

Just another invasion of privacy by a giant corpo that none of its users asked for

I still use my s10e every day on my commute with the headphone jack plugged into a radio tuner so I can listen to podcasts

Aren’t all (or almost all) memes famous randomly though? No one expected a sort of doofy photo of a teen to be famous for years for having bad luck, for example.

So you can hang out with Margot Robbie?

Ugh he’s so fucking gross

At least we don’t usually do just numbers. In Japan I’ve been to a tourist attraction lake named 12. It’s also only about 90 minutes from 13.

Hard to tell in the various shots how much eruption has already taken place, but at least some of the lightning might be generated by the volcano itself. Static electricity from the erupting particles causes lightning, which is known as volcanic lightning or a dirty thunderstorm.

That’s Aku. A coup is how actors know when to go on stage.

Are you me? I played all weekend and didn’t even end up getting all that far.

But I also tried Bullets Per Minute, which is fun but reminds me that I suck at rhythm games.

3 bucks for some extra wasabi and ginger?! That better be the real stuff for that price

It’s actually culturally appropriate to eat sushi with your hands if you want, making the turn over dipping easier. The only reason they say not to dip the rice side is the worry that it’ll soak up too much soy sauce and the fish flavor will be overpowered. But it’s not that big a deal.

The passing food from one set of chopsticks to another is pretty strictly avoided in Japan though. They pass bones like that as part of funerary rites so it’s pretty closely wired into Japanese people as a cultural taboo.

The point isn’t really about the conscious level of advertising so much as what worms its way into our subconsciousness. The layers of psychology run far deeper than most of us would like to admit. Check out this clip of Derren Brown manipulating 2 guys in the ad industry to create pretty much the exact ad he forced them into

None of that has anything to do with the US “taking aggression out on males”. Circumcision should be stopped but you’re grasping for reasons here–there’s no countrywide conspiracy to continue pushing it. The reasons are from historical pseudoscience and it’s been in decline for 30 years.

Yeah, this is like saying “ads don’t work on me”. It fundamentally misunderstands pretty much everything about the topic.

What’s it look like without wax?

Also if you have an entrance on the ground and build the rest of the base above it you should be set for the early game stuff. (see the first picture on the bases wiki page)

I hope it works for you. I think I’ve played it more than any other game. The wiki is a fantastic resource if you’re feeling stuck.
