Wilfred style!

So, Wilson’s now a muppet, yeah?

Voyager has the best opening theme music in all of Star Trek, hands down.

Personal favorite opening song/sequence? Space Ghost Coast to Coast also Knight Rider

I have a NeoGeo pocket color. That clicky joystick is the absolute best directional input I think I’ve ever used. A shame it never got adopted in the wider gaming community. But I think the Lenovo nubbin would be great as a thumb pad.

Back during the SAG-AFTRA strike he did this thing claiming that everyone was happy with cable TV and that streaming was forced on us or whatever. The first comment to that asked “who is this guy, the CEO of Ads?”

That’s now what I think of when I see him. He’s the CEO of Ads.

Beanmouth slop

lol! Perfect descriptor of their aesthetic.

I thought Turning Red was awful (because it seemed to communicate the message that one’s culture is basically disposable in order to accommodate Western capitalism). Long gone are the days of masterpieces like Wall•E full of heart and charm.

I wish I still had my click wheel iPod…

Me too! I recently put Linux on it and it runs like a brand new computer.

Will they at least let Godzilla have a story that reflects his top billing? The last two of these have been Kong films.

Same. I also have a different experience with tea (tend to get a more even distribution of “energy” throughout the day whereas coffee gives me a jolt). I understand that it has something to do with how we metabolize the caffeine molecule in different contexts (which includes how it is carried into our bodies).

I read a thing several years back that argued for a distinction between caffeine and theine—the name for the molecule as it appears in tea. This is because, iirc, caffeine is found in the oils of the coffee bean and theine is found in the tannins of the tea leaf. The human body metabolizes oils and tannins differently, resulting in different absorption times (for lack of a better term). When it comes to energy drinks, the caffeine is either synthesized or isolated from a carrier (oil or tannins) and is thus metabolized differently from both coffee and tea.

My wife cannot drink coffee. But she can drink strong teas fine (including matcha, which has a higher concentration of theine/caffeine than coffee). She seems to be sensitive to the oil-based metabolic process (which is supposedly quicker than with tannins) and it gives her brain fog and an inability to concentrate (plus shakes).

looks around room Okay, who put the camera in here? It’s not funny…

“Laga Laga… na gonna work here anymore!”

So, buying physical media again lol

Movies were on Netflix, TV shows were on Hulu. It was great.

Once Netflix started on their whole “half of all our offerings are going to be original content” is when it began to go downhill. Literally no one (aside from executives) was sitting around going “man, I can’t wait until Netflix starts making shows and movies!” They were a service. That’s all they ever needed to be.

Mothra?

The lack of Neon Genesis Evangelion on this list disappoints me.

The nearest IKEA to me is about 5,000 miles away. This picture makes me feel all of them.

I eat them raw as a topping/side, but I like pickled onions best.

I’m also troubled by all the others. What gets me in this case, aside from the fact that it’s more “personal,” is that there’s a sacramental nature to the priesthood that feels almost mocked by the notion of a gimmick like this. Also, as others have pointed out, this is a continued slap in the face to women who’ve long struggled for ordination in the Roman Catholic Church only to see that their church would rather call an advanced algorithm a “priest” before it would do so for them.

TIL lol
