now I understand why so many ancient empires were ruled by symbolic child figureheads who lived in fabulous luxury kept far away from the troubling issues of their times.
I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

I'm seeing a weird black friday clickbait trend of "[blank] company is going ZERO PROFIT on this sale" or "liquidating" or "selling at cost" and think that says something about how consumers don't trust sales anymore unless there's an implication the seller is losing money.

If The Green Knight appeared before me and my uncle and his friends and promised that whatever I did to him he would repay me in one years time I would simply give him an ice cold Modelo Especial.

"But Almond by this definition wouldn't like 80% of America right now be considered poor working class?"
Yes. Good observation.
Yes. Good observation.
My view is: "If you quit your job, how many years can you maintain your current comfort level before working again?"
0-2: (unemployment/emergency): Poor working class.
2-20: (retire at 65): Middle working class.
20-80 (early retirement): Upper working class
>80 (don't have to work at all): Wealthy

this reminds me of a friend who thought he was middle class so he donated his car to a charity that helps poor people and a month later, he saw his car at his neighbor's house

I started this video with a healthy chuckle and ended it questioning if my unironic love for winter and blizzards is actually some latent fetish for the discipline of nature.
This is why I pay for the World Wide Web.
Because it delivers ART!

Steam is like how California operates as a second regulatory structure for the US because it's too big to not obey
Steam being a pseudo monopoly is complicated. It's obviously got downsides, but the AI disclosure requirement makes it so realistically everything releasing on PC has to disclose or risk getting banned right off the PC platform forever and it's the only way we'd find out about some of this shit.

When you heard your fav song on FM radio, you'd just record it on an old tape!
The years have consumed the tape, but no digital high quality file can beat the soothing feeling of the analogic, muffled sound of a walkman playing some old, forgotten tape!

The Mandarin collar has a really handsome silhouette and I wish that it had been adopted as a business casual standard, since it's at it's best on a business shirt with no tie - the essence of business casual

There's also a Metal Gear Rex model in here, it's labeled as 'Early' so I'm presuming that it was maybe shown in MGS2 directly in an earlier draft of the script or something.
