I took an at-home drug test in preparation for the upcoming real thing
Control: +
Drug: +
Me: ded
Box: “Visible readings on Control and Drug lines indicate a negative result,”
Me: still ded
the test is positive that you're negative!
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I think I slept around 24 hours total over my weekend, and after being awake long enough for my work shift I am right back to feeling like I need to sleep for a few more hours. This..this is maybe not normal?
I'm reading through (an abridged version of) Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Dynasty Warriors wasn't kidding, you really don't want to pursue Lu Bu.
[...] Lu Bu returned to sound the challenge, and the eight lords answered it. Gongsun Zan thrust his spear into the air and took on Lu Bu, only to flee after a brief clash. Lu Bu gave Red Hare free rein and came pounding after Gongsun Zan. The horse's great speed and stamina brought him close behind. Lu Bu leveled his halberd, aiming for the center of Gongsun Zan's back.
To the side of the action stood a single warrior, his eyes rounding, his whiskers bristling. Holding high his eighteen-span snake-headed spear, he flew at Lu Bu, shouting mightily, "Stay! Bastard with three fathers! Know me for Zhang Fei of Yan!" Lu Bu veered from Gongsun Zan to confront the new challenger. Zhang Fei's fighting spirit flashed at this welcome chance. The two crossed and tangled more than fifty times. Lord Guan, seeing that neither could best the other, urged his horse forward and, flourishing his crescent-moon blade, Green Dragon, attacked from another side. The three horsemen formed a triangle. They fought another thirty bouts, but Lu Bu was unconquerable.
And the poem describing Lu Bu:
Dong Zhuo's man, Lu Bu, warrior without peer,
Far surpassed the champions of his sphere:
In armor clad, a dragon etched in scales,
His headpiece fledged with gallant pheasant tails,
His jagged jade belt scored with lion jaws,
A phoenix spread in flight; his surcoat soars.
His chafing charger stirred a fearsome wind,
In every eye his halberd's piercing glint.
No lord could face his call to brave the field:
Their hearts went faint, their senses reeled.
You have to remember though, Lu Bu won, so he got to write the history of his awesomness.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
I would really just like to see a cyberpunk sci-fi heist film where a beefy lady with metal arms cuts a wealthy financier in half with some kind of absurd weapon that contains the word "nano" in its name
That's all I want
No elves pls

Groups without perspective on a certain issue can be wrong in systematic, harmful ways. I think it’s useful to call that out. But in the micro sense, I try to keep in mind that there’s a ‘as a _____,’ bad opinion about everything. My favorite moment in a topical thread is when someone says actually I’m black or gay or trans or a soldier or a father and I think this unpopular thing. At least it gets non dismissive engagement.
It's trivial to find somebody who is member of $_group to express whatever goofy opinion you want.
Which is why defenses like "my black friend says that it's okay if I say the n-word" are silly even if you interpret them charitably. (Interpreted uncharitably, Ron Howard voice: "He doesn't have any black friends.")
I agree with this. But I also am not comfortable with silencing oppositional black or gay voices as just like, in the thrall of the mainstream or uncle toms or whatever. Not that that effect isn’t meaningful, but if we strive (as progressives outside a given community) to allow those conversations to happen without dominating them, I don’t like turning around and saying ‘so long as they’re sufficiently in vogue’

Critical reception was extremely scathing, which was almost a tradition at this point, but this time out the public voted the same way with their cash, too. The film closed after 65 days with a worldwide gross of $604 million, the lowest gross of the entire series to date, and a shockingly low domestic gross of around $130 million. While the opening weekend in China was very strong, it fell off sharply and commentary within the country was particularly scathing of the blatant pandering and Chinese product placement. The low gross and sharp drop offs led critics to speculate that the public was getting tired of Michael Bay’s take on Transformers, while fans voiced their discontent at a movie that placed far too much emphasis on style over substance and missed the spirit of what made Transformers enjoyable, in addition to some of the more glaring plot holes induced by combining two movies into one.

I prefer the shotgun approach when I'm already employed.
I write a resume that actually represents me and my skills and what I want to do, instead of tailoring it to each employer.
I figure then if someone likes me it'll actually work out and be a good job.

“Move directly to Arizona. Do not pass GO. Do not collect good weather. Add racist militia compound to least valuable property.”
Okay but Shadowrun is an incredibly goofy setting and Bright is supposed to be a less good riff on it? I mean what is the sales pitch here at all.
fake gamer guy desc doesn't even like shadowrun confirmed
shadowrun is a bad, corny setting full stop
rifts is also a bad setting that people try to convince themselves was fun
Rifts was so bad.
"Interdimensional invasion postapocalypse" is kind of an amazing pulpy setting concept, but they crammed in way too much stuff. That was kind of the point, but a more coherent approach would have been good.

Does that say they merged two movies into one movie and released it in China?

good luck!
How do they redeem him though:
the test is positive that you're negative!
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
before or after the romance was written?
Tsetse fly sickness
That's a positive thing, right?
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
This is like that Office episode with Kevin’s cancer screening

You have to remember though, Lu Bu won, so he got to write the history of his awesomness.

Johnny Mnemonic is right there.

Except China is rejecting them too.
