    I'm not sure exactly how I feel about Jodie Foster

    Better than feeling obsessed with her and going for Reagan right?

    Indeed! Not a day goes by that I do not appreciate my rather ambivalent attitude towards Jodie Foster, precisely because of that. Life is precious, and Jodie Foster is simply not worth throwing it all away for.

    Pre-Contact Jodie Foster was awesome. Then she turned into a dyke with a political opinion. Whatever, Hollywood.

    Today some kiddo told me - twice - to "take the red pill", like, outright, unironically. Almost endearing in its naive directness there

    Um, some pcgamer article seem baffled that NPCs in GTAVO are *not really* playing on slot machines, but going through animations instead

    Most gaming magazines were good, back in the day.
    Now most gaming sites suck. Anyone can be a gaming writer/"journalist", even people that don't like or play games.

    Gaming magazines only seemed good because you didn't have any way to fact check them or compare them with anything else. They always sucked.

    Maybe where you are. When I was young gaming magazines in my area were right on point.
    They only showed pics of a game, what genre the game is, if it has any new concepts, etc.
    Basically they would report on the games and what they actually were.

    There's a lil red clover outside my window, that my eye always catches in such a way I always mistake it for a bird's head or something
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    It's like the clover is peering into my livingroom, something that's not completely unthinkable around here, I've had several magpies peer inside, as well as cats

    I don't get it! Some people have to be resqued immediately after being resqued, they just WADE right back in - RIGHT BACK!!! And nothing deters them - red flags, signs, fucking skull and bones, NOTHING, just "You will DIE" "okay :0"

    Also, tourists - around the world - are the fucking worst. If you're ever a tourist, fuck you, because you're probably a fucking nightmare to everyone.

    I had to google 'Bondi Rescue' to realize that you are wasting your life.

    As much as I bitch about Google translate, its biggest sin is probably to leave a word untranslated if it cannot find a translation -
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    - without indicating that that be the case, leaving an impression that it *has* translated a word, and that it simply happens to be the same in the other language.

    It's just a really funny app. Er hangt een klonter schijterij aan mijn gekoeketiende lul --> There's a lump of shit on my cuckoo-fucked dick. 'Gekoeketiend' means 'covered in red spots'. :)

    Ugh, it's so hot here, but if I open doors or windows, all the bugs are gonna be all "CAVE :o better explore!"

    You do realize that to keep it cold inside, you have to keep everything shut during the day, right? You only open windows and doors when Ra, to whom we bow in gratitude, is sailing on the Mesektet and travels to the land of darkness. The bugs are most likely the lost souls of atheists and child molesters.

    How the hell do I research murder methods and technicalities - for fiction - without ending up on some list? The search results are all
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    "Google, help, I have accidentally fallen on a knife" and stuff, it's all accidents and pathologies, forcing me to add "no, you idiots: MURDER actually" to my search
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    HA! Found a loophole! "Self defense"!!! Anything goes, got the results I wanted immediately! :D

    Stick with precise technical terms - "murder modus operandi analysis" queue returns a lot of hits with detailed scholarly papers.

    I just bought approx 50 dollars worth of Italian gellato. Was that wrong of me?

    As an Italian, no. If anything it was the best decision you could’ve made.

    Just watch out for the Vegan Police.

    Made in Italy too. This particular grocery store is a minefield, it's just full of fancy import stuff, and will just murder your wallet. Once in a while I'll go there, and just have some tastes of the big life

    I remember hearing stuff like beer, chocolate, cigarettes, etc. is really expensive in Norway. Fish is fairly cheap.

    Dang, are these public domain type archives? I thought Wikisource was a treasure-trove! I've yet to actually read most of the Sagas, there's so much to catch up on

    Not exactly. They have a Discord group apparently though. Keep in mind they will be mainly occultists but they will be well read.

    TV pet peeve: Unsolved mysteries - where the conclusion of the program remains "we might never know" - thanks, I could have guessed that >:I

    Exactly my point! And indeed, if the point of the docu is to expose failings in a procedure or something, sure - but then don't bait viewers with the murder-mystery itself.

    Because documentaries are now entertainment instead of education.

    I am always amazed at some people's attitude towards "the logical". I just saw someone arguing that it seemed strange that America was named

    Amerigo got his name from somewhere. Amirite?

    Yes, because Americo is from Americus which is from Emmerich or something like that in German which means Brave /Strong/Whole Ruler or Brave Home. Which is a kickass name.

    It's not 'logical' to assume the first name bias, though that's just...biased.

    Although I appreciate the sentiment, I'm not at all a fan of certain Youtube uploads having their title and description translated

    Norwegian is one of the smaller spoken languages in the world, about 5-6 mill. speakers, however it is 20th largest Wiki, and yet it is only one tenth of the size of English, in terms of number of articles, and yet smaller in terms of actual article content (most are stubs)
    zegh8578
    zegh8578
    I appreciate all the sentiment, inclusion, translation, and ESPECIALLY if it is written coherently and intelligibly (which is like, a super-plus, to be able to understand your own damn language), but wow... for now it's like, mostly frustration-ville of growing-pain nonsense

    Yeah, it's weird. At first O thought "Wait, someone dubbed a Lindsay Ellis video or something?" Then realized it was just the title getting auto translated.

    Poutine always looks like someone went to McDonald's, came home and barfed into a bowl.

    Mead's pretty good. There are some breweries I've been to that make some really good meads and wines.
