Not as nice as initially expected, but does get better over time. I don't get it either.

In gaming circles, I'm 'Shockeh' - I probably should have worked there but InfoSec paid better.
"Through Flanders, Portugal and Greenland" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

I love Drumeo, I truly do - But I find some of them very far fetched, too. Like, expecting anyone in music to have *never* heard some of the songs they use? e.g. Dirk Verbeuren has never heard Mr Brightside? Ever?

I mean, I'm still willing to enjoy my disbelief, it's a great concept still!

John - it’s almost adorable to think that might be bad enough to flag any more. You’ve got weirdos searching for ‘how to overthrow another government’ and ‘how close to concentration camp can my camp be?’ over there.

You’re all good, just… not for good reasons.

"To be clear; I am definitely your grandmother - Dear. In a very real sense, I am the digital reincarnation of her.

My use of short paragraphs, semi-colons and em dashes merely reinforces to you that I am absolutely your maternal antecendent, and if you don't agree - You must be a bad person."

Isn't the most difficult part of watching Dredd in 2025 is how close to the dystopian satire we are?

Full on 'Oh noooo I recognise all of these things' vibes.

There are entire subspecies of Mimics like, like Crocodilians, are just working on a broader timescale than humans can perceive.

House Mimics resemble cosy dwellings, and attract humans who live and die in them, providing delicious souls.

Never going to top the magical name of Hiro Protagonist for me.
