Probably because “Max” sounds more like streaming service for cinemax than HBO. Just bad branding and arguably opens them up to copyright suit.

My wife’s family is extremely health conscious and typically eats like rabbits. There’s not a dish they have encountered that couldn’t be “improved” with a metric fuck ton of broccoli, kale, onions, zucchini, etc. But they also love brownies. It is typically their only indulgence at family get togethers.

But instead of using eggs and oil in the mix like it calls for, they substitute those evil fats with applesauce instead. It kind of sort of works from a textural standpoint, but it definitely still tastes vaguely of applesauce which is not super desirable in a chocolate brownie. Ostensibly the idea is to make it “healthier” and lower calorie. But given all the sugar and other carbs in the batter (including the added sugar from the apples) the calorie difference is negligible but the end result is not the same at all. It feels like they missed the point and messed up the brownies for no reason at all. Doesn’t stop them from calling them “healthy brownies” though. Stretching the definition of “healthy” reeeeaaaal far.

Gilear Faeth?

I had a manager once tell me during a casual conversation with complete sincerity that one day with advancements in compression algorithms we could get any file down to a single bit. I really didn’t know what to say to that level of absurdity. I just nodded.

Hey OP, did you know that the voice of Ducky was a little girl named Judith Barsi? Did you know that Judith also voiced the little girl character, Anne-Marie, in All Dog Go To Heaven? And did you know that Judith Barsi was brutally murdered along with her mother by her father who then killed himself? And did you know that this murder happened between her lines being recorded and the release of either of these films? So when you fell in love with a little duck billed dinosaur saying “Yepyepyep” and a little orphan girl who talks to animals, you were listening to the echos of a voice of a murdered 10 year old girl.

Why did I bring this up, OP? Because you made me sad, so I’mma make you sad too.

RIP Judith

They always were allowed, you fascist fuck.

Ah, yeah, that adds up. The strip club and everything.

Obviously the joke of the meme itself is that video games are a lot of things to a lot of people, many of them quite wholesome. It’s not just tits and masculine power fantasies. But if you stick someone who already leans toward that way of thinking in front of a screen and make them play GTA… yea, that’s gonna be a deep hole to dig out of. Maybe she has seen the memes and come around to the idea that there are other sorts of stories in gaming. Probably not, but maybe.

I don’t know if I have just forgotten or never actually knew, but what is she actually reacting to in the original video that she dislikes exactly?

How do you outlaw a boycott? It’s not an act, it’s a non-act. An absence of a purchase. How do you distinguish boycott from just not buying something you don’t want or need like any other item. Are we going to be required to put so much of our purchases toward Isreal now?

Executive orders are not laws. He can direct how the law in enforced, but he can’t just unilaterally define new laws

Liar!

Yeah I was gonna say, Texas barbecue is famously unsauced, at least my default.

Bro is more masculine looking than me by half, handsome to boot, and has very piercing eyes. Maybe they don’t want him in the men’s room because they will feel inferior or sexually confused (again).

Also the idea that is takes and math major to convert a fraction to a percentage…

Meanwhile they also teach them next to nothing about, nor verify their understanding of the laws they will be tasked with enforcing, and many absolutely do not understand the law at all.

I really don’t think I’m going to be able to keep my mouth shut the first time I see someone actually wearing the 2028 hat in the wild. It goes beyond politics, ignorance, even bigotry. It’s traitorous. It’s antithetical to the American system of law. It is support of dictatorship. You cannot be anything but a vile treasonous piece of shit and wear that hat.

That’s fair. Now I wonder how liability works with that since they could hurt themselves and you in the process. And surely they are people that just cannot be lifted by one person.

Eh, I’m not apatheist. I do actively believe there is no god. It’s just not a big deal to me.
