Absolutely. Nobody needs an open-world Dead Space. I want 8-12 hours of intense claustrophobia.

Bro really left a note saying “the clock’s run out, time’s up, over, blaow / snap back to reality, ope, there goes gravity”

You have to find the right mirror in a Ross that reflects a tiny door behind you, only big enough to crawl through, where a decrepit shoemaker has been waiting for you. $100 but you will have non-Euclidean nightmares.

The discovery shocked TSA staff

Presumably because they had a supervisor come over to hold up the silhouette cards from training and match the shapes.

Super Star theme starts playing

If that happens and the factory layoffs come, those nets are gonna be full

Can confirm, had a friend who listened to police scanners for a major news station. One time a cop goofed and said the victim’s name (a minor) over the radio, and my friend was thrilled because they had a name to release the instant it was allowed. Less of a friend after I saw their level of glee.

The Behavioral Theory of the Firm gives me the ick.

New Testament really sold out.

Quick, everyone jump over to one of the other massive data-harvesting short-form content apps with ties to the US government. You like freedom and Hummers parked inside the mall, right youths?

“That’s some good work Lou, you’ll make sergeant for this."

The communication ideological state apparatus, in Althusserian terms, a form of violence and repression in a kinder, gentler package.

Don’t forget that the ACA also stipulated they had to send overage checks out to members if they spent more on marketing, bonuses, etc than on services. Getting refund checks from Blue Cross/Blue Shield at the end of the year because they spent too much money on everything but healthcare wasn’t exactly reassuring.

Feed my family? What about feeding my coke habit?

Let’s hope it’s from Tesla and can’t be extinguished.

He’s awfully sure that tower points towards Canada, and not at the guy who put up signs threatening the Feds in his driveway.

“They say nothing but good should be said of the dead. He’s dead. Good.”

It’s not so much that they don’t give a damn, but that they can’t tell. I taught some basic English courses with a research component (most students in their first college semester), and I’d drag them to the library each semester for a boring day on how to generate topics, how to discern scholarly sources, then use databases like EBSCO or JSTOR to find articles to support arguments in the essays they’d be writing for the next couple years. Inevitably, I’d get back papers with so-and-so’s blog cited, PraegerU, Wikipedia, or Google’s own search results. Here’s where a lot of the problem lies: discerning sources, and knowing how to use syntax in searches, which is itself becoming irrelevant on Google etc. but NOT academic databases. So why take the time to give the “and” and “or” and “after: 1980” and “type: peer-reviewed” when you can just write a natural-language question into a search engine and get an answer right away that seems legit in the snippet? I’d argue the tech is the problem because it encourages a certain type of inquiry and quick answers that are plausible, but more often than not, lacking in any credibility.

Some palates are just set on boot.

“Hand us your money and us MBAs promise it’ll eventually get somewhere safe” is not reassuring even before the lie.
