  1. Glad you and the family are alright. I remember riding out hurricane sandy and just hearing the wind and rain all night.
  2. Hefty Larry went toe to toe with Madds Mikkelsen and it was incredible. He could pull this shit off no problem.
  3. Kind of a terrible headline given that the article even mentions that aviation still uses leaded gas.
  4. I don’t think the idea of a fourth Matrix is a joke purely because of the reputation of the sequels, I think the idea is also kind of a joke because of the finality of the ending. If you’re going to bring back a bunch of dead characters and resurrect a destroyed system, you’re going to have to work very hard to convince an audience that isn’t a lazy attempt to cash in on existing favorites as opposed to creating something entirely new.
  5. Yeah, it reminds me of the Witcher situation, although that’s a court in a totally different country with different laws. If I remember correctly the whole lawsuit hinged on the fact that Polish law allows for relief when a contract leads to something so wildly successful that no one could have possibly predicted it at the time and it would be unfair to not share some of that wild success with one of the parties involved. It feels like a ethically shitty situation all around. There’s no way of telling what part the image specifically played in the enduring legacy of the image or just being associated with the album itself, but it is weird that two decades later people are still routinely printing that image and making money off of it. It would be one thing if it was purely album art where people are theoretically buying it incidentally, but if they’re selling posters and shirts that’s a somewhat different story. I seriously doubt that any of the nonsense he’s claiming as damages is true, but it is bizarre to imagine that someone could be making money off of a picture of you that you never agreed to because your parents wanted $200 before you could talk.
  6. Add this to the growing pile of things that are horrible on a human level but I genuinely have no idea what a better solution would be let alone a good one.
  7. That’s what I mean, I don’t know enough of the history of the thing since I was 7 at the time to know if that actually counts as a victory or just a prelude to worse nonsense.
  8. Genuine question for people who know/give a shit about American military history more than myself which is damn near anyone. What was the last time the US had a genuinely successful military campaign? I feel like my entire life has been spent being told we have the greatest and biggest military the world has ever seen, meanwhile I can’t remember an unambiguous military victory in that entire time and I was born after Vietnam.
  9. Some mother fucker once tried to convince me that there was a time in the US where more slaves were owned by black people than white people, and to this day I cannot possibly imagine being that stupid and also remembering the breath.
  10. Yeah, but they’re all gonna die of the rona so….
