Ranting Man

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free. I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these." "They just come with the table, man." They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat. I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared. "Did we…?" "Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless." Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude." Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy. Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Cue the music 😁

@Klunk279 @dormant000 @Cranberryscause Yes. He-Man is pretty much what Superman should be in this story.

@dormant000 @Cranberryscause Wait, this is from injustice? Why is he-man being a better superman than superman? Also is this an injustice story that is actually GOOD?

I love how hes charicarized here fr

The @nyknicks win. Who said we forgot how to book? #Kayfabe

DANHAUSEN IS THE KING OF NEW YORK! CONGRATULATIONS @nyknicks THE KINGS OF NEW YORK! UNCURSED!

Fan sneaked tequila into the stadium in a flask disguised as a mobile. Mexicans are light years ahead of us.

@LucasFryman @AgreeingBook13 It’s surface level which is my problem. No one gets the soul, that feeling that strikes people in their hearts.

@AgreeingBook13 Western comics trying to be manga is just sad.

Did they just turn Bizarro into a non-standard Super Broly?

Finally, I can achieve my lifelong dream of powerscaling Weird Al

@TopOfSkyboundTF Dinobot sparks. Transector tech is probably being worked on by Miles Mayhem when he’s not channeling Dale Gribble. Him or Dr. Arkeville.

I wonder what Wheeljack found 🤔

Gore Verbinski says we need a 'rating system' for AI use in films "If you use AI to write a script, you get an F" (via @Variety)

@MrYGuy2 Considering how merch dependent these companies are, you’d think they would tap a market that spends.

We really need more indie animations that cater more towards dudes like Space King or Starbarians This shit is getting sad here

I know I have some moots who are fans of this show, but everything I see from it just makes me wish they got an actual anime studio and went to work on Absolute Superman.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

@DanGuy96 @BlueIkeTweets I think if you do it right, the design that makes a great toy is also the one that pops off the screen and makes your audience enthralled with them. The Terrans didn’t do that.

@Beatman1 @BlueIkeTweets It’s sad to be, but for toyetic shows like Transformers you have to both think “What does this design say about this character?” along with “Would kids buy this?”

It’s a tricky situation. On paper the Terrans easily could’ve been the new Maximals, Predacons & Mini-Cons. …But they lacked strong writing or a cool gimmick. They were largely written as annoying Tumblr OCs, & even the show sometimes hated him, favoring Megatron more.

Someone has probably already painted Pomni on some sort of bomber, boat, or fighter. Her or the Uma Goldship.

@tuftbear86 @Griot2325 @ChaosCharza That’s on point actually. It’s why he doesn’t kill anyone too young.

@Griot2325 @ChaosCharza I think it fits for Jason from what limited stuff I know. Wasn't his origin being tormented by the campers when he was young? Just imagining autistic boy brutally teased but he loved nature or some shit. If I'm way off base I'm sorry

Meanwhile Michael and Freddy would casually kill dogs and other animals because they felt like it.
