  1. I had balut in Vietnam. It's not as bad as it looks? That said I told a Filipino friend of mine I had it and they looked at me like I was insane, so...
  2. Now we must stan for Mahomes to win more Super Bowls to put a pin in the Brady = GOAT discussion. As god intended it shall be written: 1. Patrick Mahomes 2. Otto Graham 3. Tom Brady ... The impacted bowel of hell. Eli Manning
  3. I have never seen Wicked, but I know its rep among musical theater heads is that it falters in the second act. Kinda funny that they're splitting it into two movies with that in mind.
  4. BALLS thank you. NINERS ALL IN BABY, LET'S END BROKE AS HELL Niners safety, we're going balls deep with this! Eleven KC Niners 10 / 20 / 27 / 34
  5. The notion Swift has sold out is strange to me. Country music is wildly lucrative for top performers so I don't think there's any logic behind that position beyond circular. Besides, I don't think "conservatives" are anti-Swift broadly, it's just a vocal group of chucklefucks. You just can't get to her level of popularity while alienating people who vote Republican, people who touch grass simply do not give a shit about most of the Fox Cinematic Universe alleged culture war. Lamentably, this is likely true for Elon as well; Teslas are generally popular, people think Space X is cool, etc. However and fortunately for those of us with discriminating taste, Elon has perhaps never touched grass in his miserable fucking life and he very obviously cares deeply about what the chronically online feel about him.
  6. Some of them assume she's a gold digger for going after an NFL player which is hilarious. She endorsed Biden in 2020, she "sold out" by not staying exclusively country, she's spoken out against laws that target the LGBT+ community, etc. It's people who claim to hate identity politics shitting on her for not matching up with what they believe her political identity should be.
  7. Even if someone isn't ever going to vote for a Democrat, Trump has literally nothing going for him beyond vibes. That's it. His big campaign promises were building a wall along the entire southern border that Mexico would pay for (OLO), repealing Obamacare with something better (OLO), resolving the Israel / Palestine conflict (OLO), and a tax cut for the wealthy. That's a bad batting average, and the tax shit is you know... also bad. Unless you've got a hard on for policies that specifically favor the wealthy, what does Trump bring to the table beyond the mere vibes of owning the libs? And if that's what gets you to the polls, just fucking own it, who cares. But get the fuck out of here with this concern about Biden's cognitive decline as if Trump's brain worms haven't been running the show since he was on The Apprentice, please.
  8. The entire game of pro football at this point is designed around maximizing the potential for advertising and letting fans eat nachos, the notion that < 2 minutes of gazing at the majesty that is Taylor Swift is somehow ruining football is incredible. God willing there will be a SwiftZone channel.
  9. I think it would have been really easy to have Kamala and Carol be frenemies or rivals or set up some "never meet your heroes" kind of scenario. Not that there's anything wrong with those per se, but it's surprisingly uncommon to just let female characters be friends.
  10. I dunno that this franchise needed an origin story, but that looks good enough.
  11. As I said on the entertainment board, I highly encourage people to read the full filing. It’s hilarious, and a full 50% of it is screenshots of people being mean to her on twitter. Carano v. Disney WWW.SCRIBD.COM complaint
  12. I fully encourage everyone to read the entire court filing. Carano v. Disney WWW.SCRIBD.COM complaint You may think to yourself, WHOA TEHRE KAL, I’M NOT PART OF THE D1P LEGAL TEAM, CALM DOWN, I’M NOT READING 60 PAGES. To that I say… the first two are mainly Star Wars references and at least 50% of it is screenshots of people being mean to Carano on twitter. It’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
  13. Step 1: SCOTUS determines POTUS has absolute immunity Step 2: Biden orders drone strike on SCOTUS, Mar a Lago Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit
  14. The extent to which Microsoft’s communication and marketing around the Xbox platform has been absolutely dogshit since they started hawking the One is remarkable. It’s close to half the amount of time the Xbox brand has existed. It’s unbelievable.
  15. Reading about what this game is and its story... it's very much not my speed from a gameplay or narrative POV. But it's cool to see DC lean into this stuff in their Rocksteadyverse, or whatever the hell it's called, for people who are into it.
  16. I really don't even know what could be done about this short of some kind of diet Dune scenario where email is banned. Having thousands of staff members be one errant click away from completely fucking over the entity they work for is just not sustainable. I "fell" for one of the phishing scam tests at my job when my mouse battery was dead; when I went to mouse over a URL in the email to see where it was going to take me, my trackpad registered moving my mouse as a click. Harmless in my case but if it'd been a real phish? Cooked. And if Jim Browning can be scammed into temporarily losing his YouTube channel, nobody's safe. This says nothing of situations where things like Strava revealing the location of military bases and routes. Something's going to have to give and I don't know what it'll be or what it's going to take.
