And he dies in a painful, humiliating way (eaten to death by little dinosaurs).

Dieter’s death in the second film (CW: cinematic blood) almost mirrors how Hammond died in the novel.

The only ASMR I can stand is the sound of food cooking/sizzling, only because it triggers an appetite for me.

Shit like whispering, fingernails clacking on hard surfaces, or plastic bags being crinkled… no thanks.

My city has a rail station right in front of the stadium and barely anyone uses it, not even during big games/events.

When I was 13 I shat on Backstreet Boys and Nsync after I discovered The Eagles.

I grew beyond The Eagles though and now I lump them in with boy bands.

“Yay, my swollen belly isn’t ascites from liver failure!”

Not only would it take a long time, I imagine the results would be extremely random to the point it would be unreliable as an execution method. Carcinogens, and the way each person’s body reacts to them, are highly unpredictable. That’s why health disclaimers on carcinogenic products say “may cause cancer” and not “will cause cancer.”

It would be far easier to just shoot or stab the target and make it look like a robbery gone bad or something.

Reminds me of that scene from Austin Powers where they parody those intricate death traps in James Bond films…

Dr. Evil: I’m going to kill Mr. Powers by putting him in an overly elaborate and easily escapable contraption and assume it all went according to plan.

Scott: Why don’t you just get a gun and shoot him? He’s right there!

“This bridge can’t accommodate your ridiculous treat-truck and we will fine you if you break it.”

Pickup owners: “tHiS iS a ScAm”

I bet these same people post comments like “fuck around, find out” and “should have listened” on videos of people getting shot by the cops for not following their orders one hundred percent.

Yeah, the one by me started doing them around 2019 or so and stopped about a year back. They were loud as fuck too and I’d hear them echoing off the buildings across the street.

They still do ads but it’s silent slideshows of food and products that are on sale in the gas station store. Still shitty but kind of an improvement I guess?

Criticizing the current administration in charge of the country that supplies arms to a country committing genocide == pro-Trump.

Nobody is talking about Trump BECAUASE HE’S NOT RUNNING THE USA RIGHT NOW. I don’t know how it’s so hard for libs to understand thus.

The R-slur was considered offensive even when I went to school in the early 90s. I distinctly remember kids getting into trouble when caught saying it, especially if it was directed at kids in the special education classes.

By the 2000s I feel like the lid had more or less been put on those kinds of slurs. But in the last 10 years or so they’ve made a comeback in spite of chuds claiming that they’re being “censored” now, and that the 90s were like some bastion of freeze peach.

So I’m too lazy to fully read up on it, and what little I could find wasn’t completely clear, but are Mennonites essentially LARPers? Like do they just dress plain like it’s the 17th century while enjoying all the modern conveniences?

I’ve always seen people say that if you are coming from MacOS then try GNOME, and if you are coming from Windows then try KDE. This is the first time I’ve heard of anyone say either of those desktops blatantly ripped their respective OS’s off.

My first smartphone was a second-hand Motorola Droid A855 that I got in like 2012 (I think it was about 2-3 years old by the time I got it). That keyboard was great and I hated how smartphones were slowly moving away from it.

A few years ago the grocery I worked for got rid of their inventory scan guns that ran on Windows CE and used TinyTERM. They were rugged as shit and it was impossible to lose your progress if you took the scanner into a WiFi dead zone somewhere in the bowels of the stockroom. Then at some point they switched to these shitty Android-based ones where everything is done on a web browser. You needed to be extra cautious to make sure it was actually communicating with the WiFi and remote server, or else whatever you’re scanning would not get counted/ordered.

Any time I talk about my hobbies, I get told that I have too much free time on my hands, and/or that I should turn said hobbies into a job/business.

It’s like people are so capitalism-brained that they can’t fathom someone having a passion for the sake of the passion itself, and not making a commodity out of it.

Also the phrase “you have too much free time on your hands” as a backhanded insult. People seem to abhor the idea of someone spending their time doing things for themselves instead of working. Or am I reading too much into that?

Yeah like even as toys, Funko Pops are useless. They’re just static decorations, and not even good ones at that.

Damn government regulations keep getting in the way. /s
