This building has a mural of a nicer version of itself

The first movie I remember seeing was Ghostbusters at a drive-in

AI has not made us better, more productive, more successful or grown the economy outside of GPU sales and data center construction. It has also made the price of every single device of every kind more expensive, depressed the housing market, and increased literally everybody’s cost of debt.

Normal food, making a meal: Ok, that's enough I guess Normal food, making extras: I used a ton of ingredients and I have a little too much maybe Soup, making a meal: How did I end up with so much food Soup, making extras: DANGER - DO NOT ATTEMPT

It's a board game but the pieces are pork scraps mixed with cornmeal, flour, and spices, and pretty common in Pennsylvania and surrounding states.

Weird Al at a small local venue in like 1995 (parents thought I was too young to go to a show at a bar) Primus and NIN around the same era (I became a fan of both like six months too late) Daft Punk Alive tour (visiting my long distance girlfriend)

It's amazing how many kinds of cheese there are

If a soccer player had a large enough jaw that they could carry the ball between their teeth, would that violate any rule?

permanent daylight savings doesn't go far enough

What's the point of going to the moon if you still can't escape Microsoft Outlook?

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

No, Berenstein is the doctor, you're thinking of Berenstein's bear.
