  1. Masturbation abstinence practices have returned to the USA in the form of semen retention communities. that has to be the first time in human history those words have appeared in that order to make that specific sentence
  2. Chefs and their fans complaining about the refs is hilarious after the last 5 years of all the calls they have gotten their way
  3. Jobs are plentiful but people are struggling more and more it seems. Wages have not come close to keeping up with costs, many things you need to live or function in society(food, housing, car) have gone up dramatically in the last few years especially once you factor in interest payments that most people will have to make on the big ticket items.
  4. this unquestionably has something to do with it, our attention spans are trash nowadays and it is even worse for kids.
  5. my friend teaches 5th grade math and he was showing me how they do things now and I wanted to scream. The kids have to draw a cube to represent each 1000, a square for every 100 and the use vertical lines for single and double digit numbers but they do them as just a string of vertical dashes not as tally marks where you do 4 and then cross through it with the 5th dash so you can have neat groups of 5, it was just a string of vertical lines so it looks like this 1111111111111111111111111111111111. HOW THE FUCK IS THIS AN EFFICENT SYSTEM?!?!?!?!?!
  6. the part that made me feel the show was in the right hands was the "studio behind free 2-day shipping" that just clicks so well into the hyper-capitalist pre-nuke Fallout world that it is perfect
  7. That Swerve/Hangman match is going to go down in the annals, that thing was at an 11 on the violence scale in the first 2 minutes and didn't stop
  8. I hate my state government so much. Let's see what should the AG go after, violent crime, rampant corruption in the state and local governments... nah. Pepsi making plastic bottles that's clearly the source of all the problems in this state
  9. not a clue, it seems odd they would only purchase the rights for such a small territory. There must be something weird going with the ownership or distribution rights of the show. I did some reading up last night on the show and found out why portions of it gave me just a Three Body Problem vibe, Ken Liu who wrote the short stories that Pantheon is adapted form was the english translator for three body problem books
  10. 2nd season came out just a couple weeks ago so it's still fresh
  11. This is the smartest most original scifi shows to appear on television in a LONG time. I don't want to give anything away because this show goes places especially at the end of season 2 but this is some of boldest leaps I have experienced in scifi, we are talking end of the 3 Body Problem book series level leaps, you are not going to be bored watching this show. Finding a way to watch it may prove difficult. The first season was on AMC+ so all 6 people that subscribed to that service could watch it, then they "canceled" it even though the entire second season was done, complete and ready to go. Amazon thankfully bought it but for some insane reason it is only available in Australia and New Zealand and VPNs won't let you get around it so you will have to use other methods but trust me go find it.
  12. I've been half heartedly looking for a used car for 6 months and had just about given up and was getting ready to get a new one because used prices were absurd, just in the last couple of weeks have I noticed them finally start to move down, still have 20-30% to go to get to where they should be but they are moving in the right direction.
  13. You will never convince me that Dolly didn't have braces in Moonraker
  14. Just getting over round 2 of covid. I actually a much worse time with this batch.
  15. Yeah I am at the point in my life where I will hopefully never have to take on debt again but with current costs of homes/Cars combined with the relatively high interest rates anyone starting out is completely fucked for the foreseeable future
  16. I finished it a few days ago and generally liked it. I have no knowledge of the source material other than that it is obscenely long. My question is how dumb/naive is Luffy supposed to be? Best case he comes of with a childlike naivety other times I found myself wondering if the character was genuinely mentally handicapped
  17. Starfield is really CPU dependent, don't upgrade your GPU first if you CPU isn't strong.
  18. Its crazy how good of a PPV AEW can put on with essentially zero build. This is a running theme with them it seems, like every other PPV I will be going in thinking "this doesn't look that great, the plots haven't been anything special" and then they knock it out of the park. This PPV had essentially one week to build to and it was banger after banger. Those meat chants during Hobbs vs Miro had me rolling.
