As I have Americans yelling at me about their president, I am really appreciating how blocks work here. All that « angrily shrinking into a corncob » energy just vanishes
as though it was never there
Peace in our time(line)!

my favourite aspect of doordash are the variety of BOGO deals that seemingly make no attempt to offer the illusion of compelling value

I have purchased an absurdity. This overpriced stainless steel wok with a round interior (better for cooking), flat exterior (usable with standard cooktop), and difficult to photograph mirror finish.
Sadly the outer engraving (image 3) means it cannot be used as a saj cooker (image 4).

I think this started as a joke but then I became genuinely annoyed?
Sally of the Sawdust (1925) has a promising premise ruined by a clumsy execution, insulting ending, and being helmed by a complete dingus with no apparent interest in woman as full people.
Largely ditching the social satire of the original play (Poppy) is just deranged.

Pitch: Rashomonji - a young woman is pulled into a mysterious visual novel game after she acquires it from a spooky market place. In the game she plays out various versions of events from her past and must confront how selective and uncharitable to herself her memories and interpretations are.

In 2010 Let Li starred in Ocean Heaven, "real men are good fathers and kind to autistic people" the movie, saying he was drawn to the low budget production because he cried reading the script.
Meanwhile Jackie Chan laughs about having nothing to do with his lesbian daughter.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

A once great studio should give me a million USD to make a film called Remake It Till You Rebreak It, a farce about a once great studio’s doomed efforts to remake their last viable IP no matter the artistic or ethical costs.

Having a lovely therapeutic walk in the heavy fog. Can barely see one block down the street and there is a steady light drizzle. An absolute delight.

I'm not saying French orthography is out of control but to import the English "OK" the following evolution occurred:
ok -> oké -> okéy -> okéyy
ok -> oké -> okéy -> okéyy

As for the stunning lifelike image quality: I believe these were taken with my trusty Sony Ericsson W800. The absolute peak of 2005 technology, it was liking having an iPod, a revolutionary mobile phone, and a breakthrough internet communications device ... all-in-one. 😱

If you can mange it, I highly recommend falling in love with a Dutch communist, moving to Norway where you dedicate your every breath to her, while there discover the hardingfele which resparks your childhood love of the violin, and befriend a weirdo or two specialising in their craft.
