They don’t just put it in there for fun, you can bet that milk powder affects the eating experience in a way most people enjoy. Snack companies invest a ton of money refining every nuance of their recipes.

Very nice supervisor though, the everyday compassion makes big impact.

(Beans are technically seeds, the pod/shell they grow in is the fruit. -botany)

It just means abandoning the idea of a “correct spelling”.

The printing press, and more importantly the people running them, codified spelling toward the beginning of the Shift. I may have implied more intent than actually existed but spelling became a lot more standardized with the mass production of written works, particularly the bible.

I’ve completely cut out any family that supports the Trump administration, personally. Fuck em. There’s no space in my life for bigots.

“Interesting”

“some guy”

He was a state-sponsored Christofascist propagandist. Be honest if you’re going to summarize.

Squint so hard your eyes are closed, maybe. Any overlap between biblical verse (translated through at least two languages) and modern scientific understanding is coincidental.

We did address it. And then everyone immediately changed how they pronounced every vowel.

We should address it again, and fix the way a ton of words have been Anglicized at the same time, but we’re far from alone. French is loaded with needlessly silent letters as well, just as the first example that springs to mind.

(actually, can we just switch directly to the International Phonetic Alphabet?) (This is a bad idea for reasons that are probably obvious, it’s a lateral move at best)

I’ll forever be mad about it because I thought I was buying a planetary physics/ecology simulator and I got “we have Spore at home.” I don’t care that it has Minecraft in it now, it still doesn’t do the thing I cared about from the early hype.

Why come you don’t have a tattoo?

Probably. Reasonable storefronts are the only thing keeping the warez at bay.

They want fuckin 40 bucks for a vinyl these days and they don’t even throw in a digital download for that price, and the radio is owned by like three companies unless you live near a college station.

It’s really easy for me to print something. One button. And then I don’t have to fight a spotty 4g connection to load a barcode.

Own a printer and because relying on technology is for suckers.

Gaben is gonna be the first person to digitally upload their consciousness.

Latency is horrific though.

Many game communities have opted for the “unbridled vandalism” strategy to push people away from fandom. Just replace all the articles with plausible lies.

Size only really matters if you’re using the map for overland navigation, and even then it’s more important to preserve compass lines. (And it’s quite telling that the project is just injecting their own bias instead of actually pushing for accurate representation.)

Danny McBride. I can grit my teeth if he’s playing a small role, 30 Minutes or Less was pushing the limit, but he so often plays the same insufferable, arrogant asshole and he plays it too well.
