I used to be an animator, and we’d deliberately put in obviously bad things just so the director could spot them and tell us to take them out so he felt like he was doing something lol.

But that’d probably work for writing too

Yeah we had a DFA slider on our board! Good for placating meddlers, but also excellent for pranking new people. “If it starts to sound too tinny, lower the DFA very gradually till it sounds right” and then watch them very seriously fiddle with it for ages or until someone laughs lol.

A war that he was responsible for and could have ended at any time if he gave two fucks about the lives of anyone involved, which he didn’t.

Fuck that war criminal. The only acceptable reason he should have had for not golfing would be that he was in the Hague.

I had a ps3 and a ps4 and was fully up for getting a ps5. Then it came out right around COVID time and I couldn’t get one anywhere because of scalpers. So I thought, “No worries, I’ll just wait a year or two and pick one up for cheap.” Then it just never got cheaper. Now it’s like a 5-6 year old machine that costs over $900 CAD so I just never bothered.

I was thinking how weird it must have been to receive a lethal injection, black out, and then wake up somewhere. That must have been real mind-blowing for a moment.

They’ll probably live stream it too

In that case, I suspect it’s just a law enforcement issue. By which I mean, what would happen to a nurse or a doctor who ignored triage and took personal bribes to ensure certain people receive help first, while leaving other people who need more urgent help to die? That’s what should be happening to politicians too IMO.

I mean the definition I was going by was, “There was a General Election, resulting in them being the PM.” Out of the last five Prime Ministers (including Burnham so far), only two meet that criteria.

Better just keep switching PMs every 18 months or so to make sure that the leader is almost perpetually someone who wasn’t voted in, that should sort it.

I’m in camp “not diagnosed but something ain’t braining.”

I don’t know if 2010 is allowed, but Get Him To The Greek would probably have to be up there. Russell Brand and P. Diddy together on screen at last!

Me and my SO were just laughing at this and I had a moment of… we’re laughing at an AI LEGO depiction of the drunken idiot FBI director put out by the Iranian government. The future is so fucking weird lol.

I had a sort-of similar thing that took me ages to figure out, but it turns out my thinking/concentrating face just looks angry. So people would ask me things, I’d be thinking of a response and they’d think they annoyed me. So I’m trying to work on that, but also I just tell people my thinking face looks angry now and that’s helped a lot lol.

I definitely am. If I’m left to my own devices I almost instantly default to going to bed at 5am-ish and getting up at 11-12. But mostly society won’t let me do that, so I feel like I’m on a night shift permanently.

Luckily I’m from the UK, where you can pretty much assume 100% of everything being said is sarcastic and get by just fine.

This is one of those things I’m on the opposite side of lol. I can drive a manual car (I grew up in the UK where most cars are manual) but I can’t explain how to do it. I just sort of know it. And I never look at the revs for changing gear, I just sort of feel it. Which I know is super unhelpful also.

I have a friend who’s a skater and when he doing a kickflip I asked how it worked, as in, how do you make sure the board doesn’t land upside-down or whatever and he was like, “You just launch off and then deal with it.” which was not at all helpful lol. There must be some sort of logic to it!

I’m sure this is what you’re referring to, but in case anyone doesn’t know, what IMB was up to during World War 2 is an interesting read.
