I'm not even going to bother with piracy. I just won't watch their shows. I stick to my old dvd box sets and stuff.

Wait what. I get records, but cassettes were awful. Even with my love of nostalgia I don't want cassettes back.
I'm also not sure why I would want this when my phone streams everything already.

Okay, but then what. Do I plug all my stuff into a box that transmits to the TV? I barely watch anything anymore, this TV is clearly not meant for gamers since that would cause input delay of some kind.

I don't laugh much outside of like TV, but if I do it's probably fake laughing. But apparently according to the article I should fake laugh more?

Reply to TIL In the 1980s, an obscene image was snuck into one of the ice cubes in a Coca-Cola ad in South Australia. The company recalled and destroyed all of the posters, and the artist responsible for the image was fired and sued. by 54_actual
I had to read the article and then still look a bit before I could see it. Not sure how people knew without knowing what to look for.

This is why I wouldn't want to date a woman older than me. I'm already destined to die sooner and leave her alone longer.

I don't. All I can think of is a cartoon character cat mouth.

Maybe, I like cats and wouldbt mind having one, but I'm not shoving a pet into my tiny one bedroom apartment. I feel like that would be cruel.

Okay, but I don't really have a choice to get married or not. That takes two people. And going out. I'm not dating at work.

Like covid was raising rates from isolation. I was talking to a buddy one weekend I was bored and told him "maybe work should be 7 days a week so I'm not sitting here bored and lonely because at least work gets me out of the house"

Isn't the middle lambda just the game logo? They should have used Black Mesa's logo.

I'm more upset he trashed on the live action movie. Best movie ever made along side the Street Fighter Movie from the same time period.

Before anyone says ET (and to those who did), that game is at least playable, enjoyable and beatable.
I love ET.
The real worst game ever is Superman 64.

Oh, I fully expect Blu ray to be the last physical media. But I can still but dvd's and blurays in used shops. I just won't be buying new shows I didn't watch. I'll be buying the old shows I loved before they riddled them with ads and made us pirate them. I will ignore all new and current media if they annoy me enough. New TV isn't as good as 99's early 2000s anyways.
