Luigi meets Mitch McConnell?

…yes please.

They should do a remake of Groundhog Day. Make a bunch of fancy trailers with over the top cinematic effects. Whole 9.

Then play the original Groundhog Day, completely unedited.

Really this is the first US ban on them?? I know the law moves slow and all, but as horrid as those things have proven to be, I’d have guessed this was already common practice in the less shit places to live.

Well, here’s hoping that ball picks up momentum asap.

We took a personification of disease, and made him Health Secretary. Dafuq did we expect would happen?

Shitting ourselves is far from the worst case scenario here.

Oh fuck no. There are a handful of people from highschool I wouldn’t mind catching up with, but the vast majority of them I either never met well enough to form an opinion, or actively disliked.

…and as long as it’s been, every single one of us is a completely different person now. It’d basically be like meeting a few hundred complete strangers. And at that point, I can just go to a bar or something and meet complete strangers right here - why travel to reunion for that?

…what happens if he gets cut in half, perfectly midline/saggital and the two halves are separated so they can’t just heal back into eachother?

Does each side heal into a separate whole Wolverine?

You could pin his left side down onto some kind of reciprocating base that moves adjacent to a razor or saw, and just time the back and forth motion to correlate with his regeneration.

Basically a deli meat cutter, but used to print an army of Logans. Or a literal deli meat slicer depending on how you plan on using the Logans.

Have the comics/movies tackled this yet?

Here, just use mine.

That’s clever honestly. I could see that working well for things like banners addressing a broad audience - marketing type stuff.

My bitching is more geared to why it was structured that way in the first place… and obviously it didn’t just appear overnight, but developed over ages like most other languages. Some trends stick and others don’t… gendering random inanimate objects is one that stuck. …for some weird-ass reason.

Am American. Canada and Greenland infact do not exist. Still sticking with what I learned directly from the culture in question over an internet stranger and a handful of articles.

Speaking also as an internet stranger to all of our readers, I know my own posts carry the same amount of weight as yours - that is, none at all.

Didn’t intend to stir up any drama in sharing my experience. I’ll be sure to learn the regional etiquette if and when I visit other areas.

I know a black guy

Try, 'I walked on eggshells about it around dozens of them scattered about Juneau, Anchorage, and Fairbanks, and it outed me as a clueless white dude 100% of the time.

I went in with the understanding that it was a slur. I treated it as a slur. I was corrected.

X-kimo, final offer.

Oh, thinking you can change a major language structure to make it more PC is dumb as hell. I’m not advocating for it, but I do understand a shred of of where that push is coming from. Spanish is VERY MUCH A GENDERED LANGUAGE… but… why? Why is my chair a girl, and shoe a boy? The status quo in this case is about as dumb as thinking we can change it.

While I do get wanting to steer the language away from pointlessly gendering everything (why tf do I need to know if my blender is a boy or girl??) …yeah “Latinx” ain’t it.

To me it always reads phonetically like “lah-teenks”. I hate it.

Back when I was a wee little shit, and the parents were ritualistically sacrificing my Sunday mornings to Sky Daddy & Super-J by dragging my ass to church: I recall our pastor actually addressing this. Idr the verse he referenced, but it boiled down your ‘soul’ or some shit being driven to god even if you haven’t been exposed to him here on Earth. TLDR, even if you don’t know, you still go to hell for being a dirty heathen, so good 'ol christians have a duty to go shove their shit down as many throats as possible to ‘save’ them.

Whether or not that’s true to their lore, I have no idea - there are so many contradictions in that shit that you can basically make it say whatever you want.

Spent some time in Alaska - the natives I had a chance to speak to referred to themselves as Eskimos. And it wasn’t one of those ‘we can say it, but it’s derogatory coming from anyone else’ words… it’s just a word they use for their people. They were kind of amused at the whole controversy.

It’s anecdote, and the number of them actually offended by the term Eskimo is probably higher than zero, but by and large this is white people being offended on their behalf at something that is a non-issue.

So, call em Eskimos. Or Inuit. Or Natives. From the source, they’re cool with it.

I wonder if that’s why I hate ads so much. Grew up with the understanding that they are a literal attack to both me and my property. …I mean, that’s still exactly what they are, but acknowledging them as such is definitely a minority mindset nowadays.

AI didn’t turn out the way any of us imagined… Cuz it still remains limited to our imaginations. Fiction.

It didn’t turn out at all.

Get back to us when AI becomes a reality, and not just a hypermarketed spell checker that’s wrong occasionally.

No they didn’t - they were with me rocking some Halo CE splitscreen and gorging on Mountain Dew and pizza. It was an all-nighter, so they wouldn’t have had the time to be anywhere else.

…I don’t even bother unsubscribing anymore. I just click the ‘report spam’ button and never see their shit again.
