3 months agoI could have sworn there was a Cookie’s Crumby Pictures for The Matrix, back when they were making tons of film parodies, but apparently that wasn’t one of them.

Now now, Horizon also has Varl.
Whoa, a L4D meme? How vintage!
2·3 months agoOh the laws are completely unenforceable, they’re basically just a blank check to go after any website the ruling class dislikes.
The article names multiple sites that have already shut down due to the UKs law
Eugen issued a statement that Mastodon is physically incapable of implementing age verification and that thedecentralized nature of the fediverse means there is no central authority that can block regions which define these laws.
IANAL, but I imagine under the laws, they would go after individual instance owners to mandate verification. The laws have no provision for third party software, so it would fall to the courts, but most instances don’t have the funds to fight it.
Straight sizes (xs - xxxl) vs Plus sizes (0x - 5x)
Designers create garments for one size (typically Large), and then scale it down and up for the other sizes, but above a certain threshold that doesn’t proportion correctly, so plus sizes are scaled from 2x.
The term “straight” here was originally opposed to curved.
If it weren’t for the skin incinerating temperature, it’d probably feel like softened caramel
Now hold up, there is a pretty clear cadence and tone difference between Kronk and Joe. Joe is not a himbo, he takes himself seriously and is often sick of Peter’s shit. Kronk is more like MCU Thor, he’s an airhead. The two talk quite differently
When tap-to-pay became a thing, Walmart went all in on building their own payment system instead, because Apple Pay and Google Pay both get a portion of the credit card transaction fees.
By pushing everyone through Walmart Pay, THEY get that portion, and can collect interest on any cash back stored in the customers account (just like Starbucks).
Of course, anyone who just wants to use the nfc on their credit card gets fucked over
There are 85 locations remaining in the united states. Thats down from 270 in the 90s. There are only four in California where I live.
They got bought up by private equity and gutted, just like red lobster.
Third spaces were much more common before the 2000s. Coffee shops where you could hang out with friends were actually a thing in the 90s. Open mic nights and karaoke. I remember we had a common ritual at the book store I worked where everyone who closed would meet up at TGI Fridays for late night drinks, TGIF doesn’t even exist any more. I used to meet up with a bunch of friends at Dennys every Thursday night, and then it fucking closed.
As someone who worked in a movie theater for four years, popcorn/candy is really not that big of a deal. Even in the biggest disasters (usually kids movies) you just break out the push broom and just walk down each row while someone else sweeps up at the aisles.
It’s the wet foods that are actually annoying. Nacho cheese is the worst, because it smears all over the place. Then there’s the bodily fluids…
Also, the people who clean between shows are called ushers. Janitors come early in the morning to vacuum, mop the floors and clean the bathrooms.
There was no curse in the tv show, he was born like that.
Stockholm Syndrome isn’t an actual thing, fyi. It has never been recognized as a condition and never been diagnosed. The entire thing was an attempt to dismiss valid reactions to police incompetence.
Yeah, reading other articles about the study, it sounds like this is more a product of manufacturing and packaging than an actual ingredient
Would be nice if the article told you what to watch for to know which gums to avoid.
I’ll give you that for Shenzi (Whoopi Goldberg), but that’s a big stretch for Banzai (Cheech Marin) and Ed (Jim Cummings). I don’t think Marin can play anything other than a mexican stereotype, and Ed was just a moron.
