Am I whooshing here, or are you and I remembering VOY: Tattoo very differently? lol

Didn’t know that, but I rarely buy name brand these days.

The actual seasoning crumbs are still sealed in a bag (for now? lol). It just doesn’t come with the “shake” bags you pour that into in order to coat the food.

Honestly not sure. I’d have to splurge on the name brand to compare.

C.W. McCall - Convoy (the song the movie was based on).

My personal record is ~17 sneezes in a row. Hashtag “allergy life”.

Oh, boy, that brings back memories of being a teenager in the early 90s. Grandpa gifted me his old CB, got it setup and tuned in, and immediately turned it off.

It’s just that back then, those people weren’t glamorized with fancy titles like “podcaster” or “influencer”. They were just garden variety cranks everyone knew to just ignore.

Truth.

And given all that’s happened between the original run of KoTH and the present, I found Dale a lot less charming in the reboot.

I’m not saying the concept didn’t exist then. There was just a higher barrier to entry than buying a microphone.

Nedry was literally a computer scientist and systems designer / programmer from Cambridge. Arnold was a theme park engineer (designing rides and control systems; some programming involved but a whole different paradigm than developing large systems).

Source: Have read the novel 50+ times.

Arnold was an engineer, though. He was competent in using the system and not totally lost when poking around the code, but he’s no computer scientist. Basically, he was a power user / sysadmin rather than a developer.

I am not a gamer these days and am unfamiliar with Arc Raiders, but if there’s any way to incorporate the Klingon death ritual when one of your squad goes down, that would probably be pretty epic

I can’t even do “vacation” Klingon lol. All I know is Qapla’ means “success!” and you call someone a petaQ when you want to insult them.

Fucking with and/or interfering with someone trying to bring their lost pet home is in the top 3 dick moves you can do as a human.

Just a plain, simple tailor 😎

Literally the best thing you can do for your experience here is just start blocking any account that starts throwing out political labels at any other account. Just block and don’t look back.

Considering I can’t even identify the flavor by the label, I’m gonna say, no, probably not.

How the fuck can you expect to be inconspicuous when you’re bringing studio equipment to a restaurant?

Lol, there’s a actually a trope for that: Refuge in Audacity. It’s probably one of my favorite tropes, TBH.

Usually, when characters do something illegal or socially unacceptable, they’ll try to be discreet about it: keep their misdeeds small and subtle enough that either no one knows what they’ve done, or no one cares. Sometimes a character does the exact opposite — take their misdeeds so far over-the-top that there’s no way they can’t be noticed — and they still get away with it.

The key is to be so audacious in how you violate the rules (whether they be laws or a moral/ethical code) that no one can believe you did it.

Might need to dig up my old TV Tropes account and add this article to the “Real Life” examples.

In the “DS9: Millennium” trilogy, that’s pretty much exactly what kicks off the plot lol.

Basically pretending to be an organic grass-roots movement or to plant the seeds but the movement is to either destabilize or otherwise benefit a foreign entity.

How do you do my fellow Americans? How about we just start burning stuff down?

Basically shit like that (it’s not always that transparent except when it is exactly that transparent). See it pretty often even on here (less so since I’ve enabled “turbo” on my block button).
