My intro to Michael Rapaport was seeing him in Fallout as a loathsome moron who dies a cowardly and stupid death, then reading lots of comments online saying it was perfect for him.

The "Mississippi Miracle", that is a real success largely attributed to going back to older styles of teaching and getting rid of Whole Language Learning. WLL is new and innovative and not evidence-based and it doesn't work at all. Science-based reading education needs to come back in all 50 states.

I had a pet mouse that HATED having her nails trimmed, so she nuzzled my left hand for comfort while my right hand worked the clippers.

There's no evidence that TCM has anything to do with that. On average people in China walk more and eat more vegetables than Americans, and the highest life expectancy in the world is in countries with those traits. But also people in China smoke tobacco at much higher rates.

Almost every activity is the same in a mask, and eating in restaurants is a rare exception. But for some people, every social event revolves around that. It's frustrating

In my books, Predator and Prey are great movies, and there's a wide gap between those two and Predators. But I haven't seen Killer of Killers, maybe I'll check it out.

I used to play a lot of competitive MTG, now I play Scrabble, they feel surprisingly similar. The list of words you've memorized is like a deck. Some focus on 3-letter words, some focus on the most probable 7 and 8 letter words. Of course, at high levels the champs have memorized the dictionary

Yeah, too many vowels is called "vowelitis". We memorize words to fix having too many of one or the other: oidia, epee, veldt, pwn...

The letter X has a lot of two-letter words already, this person should change xir pronouns to ve/va to really change the game.

A virus makes almost everyone on Earth into a happy, helpful hive-mind, and Carol (an alcoholic lesbian in her fifties) is one of the only people immune to it. I'm really into, I highly recommend it, one of the best shows I've ever watched.

One revisionist memory I notice a lot is when people talk about the government forcing them to stay in their house for two years. In most places it was legal to host parties from May 2020 onwards. You didn't do it because you didn't want to catch the deadly virus, like everyone else!

The workers don't need a visa to remotely operate a robot, so they can do labour that used to be done by easily-exploited undocumented immigrants.

A normal game is 9 innings, this one went 18 innings. Either team could have ended it sooner by scoring. Once a player leaves the game he can't go back in, so both teams were running out of players and sending in random dudes who made heroic efforts to stop the other team from scoring

The Chinese grocery store near my house has dried bean curd jerky, it's delicious and much cheaper than the Beyond Meat one. Hopefully you're able to find some

I disagree with your interpretation and I would explain why, but you'd obviously enjoy calling me more names so I'll just mute you now.

No, the article says that his parents immediately pointed out the error on the birth certificate but it "hasn't caused many issues" until now. Correcting a birth certificate costs money and evidently it wasn't a priority for them because it shouldn't have to cost money to fix a bureaucratic typo.

UL Washington's parents intended to name him Ewell. The clerk who printed the birth certificate mistakenly typed UL, and that was his legal name for life.

Lorenz was originally a tech journalist, she's done paid ads for smartphones aimed at children, and opposes school phone bans. She seems much more in favour of generative AI than most sensible people. These are valid critiques, but most of the criticism about her online is because she's "too woke"
