::reads through the lyrics to the song::

Hmm, she makes one comment about the town being poor and provincial, a couple about wanting more out of life, and then the rest of it is the towns folk saying she’s “pretty but weird” and Gaston saying “she’s mine.”

I think this analysis stinks.

This may be my pessimism talking, but I feel like PC and Console gaming are probably both going the same route as Disney Theme Parks. If you have to ask how much it costs… If you aren’t willing to blindly shell out too much for too little… Gaming won’t be for you anymore. When it boils down to it, these things are luxuries. They’ve found their latest “limited production” excuse (AI gobbling up SSD, GPU, and RAM production) to pump up cost and there’s definitely excess demand. Or at least enough scalpers willing to take that risk. Sure the cost spike will probably come back down some once the bubble pops, but if they keep selling out, then why would they ever lower the price again?

more of a misheard lyrics, but the song “The Freshmen” by the Verve Pipe hits a bit different if you thought they were singing:

For the life of me, I cannot remember What made us think that we were wise and we’d never compromise For the life of me, I cannot believe We’d ever die for these sins, we were merely flesh then

I bike more.

I had to go look this up, hoping it was real and not an ai fake. turns out the artist has done a bunch of these!

I’m not the person you asked, but I’ve been on my CPAP for a year now. Yes, it does what they say, but I hate it with a passion. She can sleep, but now I wake up 4 times a night feeling like the damn thing is suffocating me.

different personal experience here. CPAP works, I don’t snore, my wife is happier. A year in, I HATE it. no matter what mask I try, how I sleep, I fucking hate it. Now I’m miserable and waking up all night because I feel like the damn thing is smothering me. And she wonders why I’d rather sleep down stairs.

The love letter to dogfights thing doesn’t excuse complete stupidity. I’m not expecting Babylon 5 level of good space battles, but at the very least they could have treated it as a “escort the torpedo boats” fight and not a “bombing ground targets but in spaaaaaace”. Some one should have taken one look at the script/plan for that scene and said, “No, that’s stupid.”

well, sort of. Trying to offset Republican gerrymandering with Democratic gerrymandering. whether the scales balance will be a good question in 6-12 months. Gotta love the two party system…

The only thing ‘special’ here is the timing. Usually both sides wait until after the census to put their thumbs on the scale. Now the more sane parts of the Republican party know that they’re in trouble if they don’t break the system further while they have a chance. If more people vote in freer, fairer elections, they’ll lose. Meanwhile The Democratic Do-nothings know if they don’t rally some sort of defense, they might not have a chance to come midterms.

so. effing. tired.

MAY have?

Definitely effing did.
