fwiw, some of the Hollow Knight runbacks were *considerably* worse. (I think Savage Beastfly and Last Judge were the most annoying. Neither are as annoying as Mantis Lords or Soul Master.)

The problem is that she hasn't specified. And realistically, the supplies will probably be used on the uncle.

Cat Cafe was a very good choice. Thank you for the recommendation!

I asked my niece what she wanted for Christmas and in a completely serious tone of voice, she said, "Prank supplies."

Anybody have a good recommendation for a place to get lunch in Stratford Ontario with my nine-year-old niece?

There has been A LOT of public discussion about AI.

It's going to be funny when the thing that actually causes us to all lose our jobs is the AI bubble popping.

Sometimes people do angry posts about sports, and it kinda reframes how you read their stuff about politics.

Like, oh you're just an angry guy with a hair trigger and no chill.

Many critiques of the New York Times are valid.

But I think the attention paid to the Times is mostly because it's a more convenient and satisfying target than the real villains of the story.

I think if you could magically snap your fingers and make it so every single part of the New York Times was absolutely perfect, and so immaculate that nobody could criticize it for anything...

It would improve the overall political environment by approximately 0%.

People just say "tarmac" because they think it sounds airport-y.

Absolutely dying at the thought of using hearing protection earmuffs while rapping into a mic (that is not plugged in and pointed 90 degrees away from her mouth)
