Sorry I cancelled our hinge date tonight, I just lost half my net worth on woman’s basketball and genuinely might blow my shit off if you talk too much. Maybe another time tho!
@nickdiazofnauts@Apogee_Ent The Rockapella was the name of their group. Had the PC game too but it was a bit of a letdown after watching the show. Must see TV after school for all the kids my age at the time though. DuckTales then Carmen. Good times.
@Apogee_Ent Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
And if you watched the tv show you will never forget how to actually say/sing that title. I can STILL hear the third guy singing “Carmen Sandiego” in that super deep voice of his 🤣
@rawmilkhoney 3 second rule. If the person behind me is going to be at the door in 3 seconds, I'll hold it open. Longer than that, no, unless it's an old person with a walker or something.
Such an ick when guys don’t hold the door open for the people behind them. If I dated a man and I noticed he never held the door open for anyone I’d leave him
@insanedms Reminds me of the time a girl at a bar gave me her brothers number and said if I was interested I’d go thru him. We’d had a long conversation up til then but I couldn’t decide if she was truthful or more likely just rejecting me softly.
I never bothered calling to find out.
@napientek@constans This is what they mean by “stay weather aware.” You make sure to know if storms are possible. You learn how to read a radar and have one on your phone. Then if a storm is approaching the area you’re driving in you find a car wash or somewhere to hide before everyone else does.
@sportsontvguy Yeah they want a 4th Sunday window (Europe games), plus Thursday, and now they're trying to move into Wednesday too.
It's too much. Especially when I have college football all day Saturday. College throughout the week too.
I love football but I can't watch all of that.
I think the NFL is playing with fire more than some people realize.
The reason the NFL model works so well is basically every game airs over-the-air on Sunday in the fall. You don't have to think about the day or the platform to watch them on.
They can easily screw this up.
@mikebolen I’ll take the $4 beer bar with the single mother bartender who obviously had a meth addiction earlier in life. That’s more in my price range. 😂
I’d take the robot for my house though.
If a bar owner had two bars in the same building. One with hot, young bikini girls selling $8 beers and $20 cocktails plus tip.
On the other side of the room Optimus robot bar selling $4 beers and $10 cocktails, no tip.
Which side has a line?
@1ssve I did this years ago when I was assigned a temp job unloading UPS trucks. It was August, one of the hottest days of the year, and they kept saying to work faster. I lasted a couple hours then I just went to the restroom, splashed cool water on my face, and decided to leave.
@exQUIZitely It took me awhile to even figure out how to open the door.
I don’t think I ever finished this game because the last parts of this video don’t look familiar.
Most - if not all - games start easy and get more difficult the further you go. At least that's true for 99.99% of them, right?
Enter Raid over Moscow - probably the only game that made players lose their minds on the very first sequence: the hangar.
I will take an educated guess and say not a single soul on planet Earth succeeded on their first attempt at getting through that door. Legend says some are still stuck in there…
Raid over Moscow was created by Bruce Carver and published by Access Software in 1984. It was highly controversial in several European countries, sparking political tension (as if the 1980s Cold War needed any more fuel) and leading to bans in multiple nations. Boy, what a decade.
@XStrangeHistory This is why I download music and don’t feel bad about it. I don’t even listen on Spotify.
I’ll support musicians by buying concert tickets and merch at the shows. But the recording industry has lost me for good.
Imagine you produce a 1 HOUR documentary. You absolutely love it. You narrate it. You use photos and videos you recorded yourself. You know your fans will love it. You upload it to YouTube. Your video is a big success! Lots of views! Lots of wonderful comments! Good job!
Then you get a copyright claim. How come? Well, for 10 seconds you shot some video in the street and a car drove by playing a SONG. Well, you don't have permission to use that song, so here is what YouTube does:
Are you ready?
YOUTUBE will now give ALL REVENUE from YOUR video to the copyright holder forever. Even though the song only plays for 10 seconds out of your 1-hour video.
This is 100% true.
Yes, you can dispute it. Yes, you can edit it out. Yes, you can replace the song in the edit mode. But if you don't. YouTube gives everything to the copyright claimant forever.
@Dixonverse He gave professional wrestling a home on his channels, so I appreciate him for that.
But otherwise, I'm going with if you have nothing nice to say, best not to say anything at all.
Big Adios to anti-Christian, pro-Soviet Union Ted Turner, cuckold of Jane Fonda and founder of the Clinton News Network (formerly the Carter News Network).
@sXeBets Poor strategy on my part. Need to limit it to a few bets on sports I know a lot about. Also started tracking records of the handicappers I follow and it looks like a lot of them need to be unfollowed.
I spend most of my time just wondering what happened to people. Truly.
When I was younger, there were always buttheads, but they had a certain aura about them that allowed you to know that they should be avoided.
In the days of yore, people could speak cordially and even disagree in a way that allowed them to still remain friends.
When the internet became supreme, it's almost as if we were given leave to become verbal savages. Now, we've even taken to finding addresses and places of work so a difference of opinion can eviscerate a person's entire life.
That doesn't even include the constant proliferation and glorification of some of the most demeaning and deviant fantasies that people just air out. For example, I never knew that people had a thing for cosplaying as animals. Things like AGP were left to fifteen minute segments on 60 minutes.
It's fascinating. It's disgustingly fascinating.
I sometimes wonder if we ever really evolved at all. Sure, we aren't living in caves. We have countries and laws.
But, our current situations have proven that even those are malleable. They change according to the needs and wants of those in power. Then, they trickle down to us.
If you sit back and just think, we have remained Neanderthals who use the dexterity of our opposable thumbs to type out savagery instead of dealing with the real world.
The internet has created a place where people can let their anger be fueled by characters on a screen in the hope that someone else will act them out in real life.
It's absolutely fascinating.
@bitchonx01 Met a guy, veteran, who was walking across the country to raise money for a cause. Always wondered if he was dealing with some trauma from his war experiences.
I gave him a few bucks and wished him good luck.
Ever try to compile a list of WWF/E themes that were "recycled" by more than 1 character? Please add some here if you know more. And none of the dozen or so that used "Real American" count
1) Kurt Angle/The Patriot
2) Steiner Brothers/Alex Porteau
3) Kerwin White/Michael Cole
@ChrisVetter73@MengsMullet They closed with that when I saw them in 2000. Kryptonite was middle of the show which I thought was odd. It should have either opened or closed the show.
@MengsMullet I remember being surprised when they closed a concert with "Loser." I think I saw them four times?
Most memorably.... they played the MN state fair and literally a week earlier I heard Nickelback's "How You Remind Me" for the first time... Nickelback opened for 3DDown.
@Bob_Janke I’m about to go to a concert for a band I don’t really like just because it’s free at a casino. But parking is free and easy too.
Just an excuse to get out of the house.
There's a concert I really wanted to go to tonight but I didn't because I won't get home until late and it's in the city and parking is a bitch and I guess that's just who I am now
