Yes, exactly. I lived in a collapsing society as a child and mostly life goes on, it just gets harder and there are less luxuries.

I really like my water pillow.

I know the second is the groundbreaking one, but I always had a soft spot for this one.

The problem I have with the concept of a conscious soul that survives my death is the question what version of me survives. If it’s the version I was when I died, the younger versions of me still stay dead. If it’s an ideal younger version of me, the older version still died. In fact, the soul would always only be a part of me since it lacks the biochemical processes of the body. So it would be another entity possessing my memories but it wouldn’t be me, I’d still be dead.

“Hey, poor people, we have the cure for Parkinson’s, it’s gold! Hurray!”

A lot of people are having a hard time right now. Try to be the change you want to see and react kindly and rationally would be my advice.

Before Musk, Twitter claimed that they couldn’t effectively censor Nazi stuff because it was too similar to what Republicans post, so… yeah.

He was considerate enough to ask the co-worker if she was well and asked for explicit content before engaging in sexual activities with her. Looks fine to me.

The first Mass Effect. That moment when Sovereign speaks… instant goosebumps. (“Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.”) This also presupposes that I haven’t played the other parts as well of course. I actually played the second one before the first one back in the day.

Conan O’Brien. He’s just effortlessly funny, especially when he’s just riffing with Sona and Matt on “Conan O’Brien needs a friend”.

There’s no guarantee you will get more money! Get the same money or less guaranteed instead!

I thought superheroes were real and all lived in New York. To be fair, it was my only contact with Western culture.

In the movies I would say when Worf went into Klingon puberty in Star Trek: Insurrection and got a giant pimple in his face that everybody was making fun of.

As great as it is, you could tell they had to cramp two season’s worth of story into the second season so that it felt very rushed and important side characters died off screen. And then of course the sets burned down ironically, making any continuation impossible.

Doesn’t have to be illegal to ruin your career. Could just be a horny web search at 3 am.

He has pretty much always been almost a caricature of a horrible boss.
