Ducks eat for free at Subway
Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”

Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball?

I know it's greedy after we just got Echoes of Wisdom, but I can't help but be impatient to see what the next 3D Zelda is gonna be like. Where do you go after BOTW/TOTK? What will the map be like after setting aside the Hyrule we've gotten to know since 2017?

He's just going to keep getting more like this for the rest of his life, which is a bummer, but there's something funny about how sincerely Aaron Rodgers believes that he is doing something heroic by listening to extremely bad podcasts and then describing them to people who aren't interested.

It's wild to me how Aaron Rodgers being a jackass about vaccines has got supposedly progressive people digging up 10+ year old homophobic rumors about him. There's plenty of legitimate reasons to dislike him. Why resort to "LOL I BET HE'S GAY" ?

NGL I find it kinda grim that game developers / artists/ actors/ etc have to scrape and crawl and beg for the slightest bit of recognition (not to mention compensation), only to tune in every year to the Geoffies to see Hollywood celebs take their well-earned spotlight
