Pretty much the plot of The Laundromat (2019), the Netflix Panama Papers movie. It’s pretty good.

thoughts and prayers

I’m Canadian and I recognized it but only after reading the description “Mike Jones”

Back then… they didn’t want him 😮

obligatory fuck daily mail but this screen was posted to a discord I’m in and I laughed then, I’ll laugh again now

Two, eight, one; three, three, zero; eight, zero, zero, four.

If you remember 2005 and are also a Texan who likes rap music, these barked digits hold a particular affection. When Houston rapper Mike Jones became famous, he notoriously rapped his phone number aloud over the brilliant, organ-driven beat for “Back Then.”

Need a banana for scale

Mmm salty

CATS: All your pizza are belong to us

Some fairly recent phones even had docks that would charge your phone and a swappable battery at the same time

I just got a P14s because ThinkPad was the last laptop out there that still had physical buttons (only for the trackpoint, the trackpad is the Apple click-anywhere style that isn’t for me). Even the Dell XPS (RIP) and HP ProBook now have only those, and obscure brands I found in reddit threads that supposedly had trackpad buttons no longer did.

I also strongly prefer the efficiency of middle button and trackpoint scroll to repeatedly scrolling on the trackpad.

End of an era.

I remember those being in bars forever, the vending machine with the massive knob on top to turn for all the options, but I always thought they dispensed tiny bottles, not a spray out of the machine like this

I would hope that all the politicians and celebrities people actually parasocially care about would get all the attention something like this would stir up and compared with how awful so many of them are in public, even the worst posts of mine would hopefully end up pretty tame in comparison to whatever they’re up to anonymously.

Neat, I just finished playing through TBOGT the other week, going to check this out. I never downloaded something that required joining a discord before but it was simple, just joining and clicking the #downloads channel had it right there, I didn’t have to interact with anyone.

edit(s): wasn’t that hard to install, the instructions on discord are pretty straight forward, got it running it’s really awesome, I really recommend trying it. First it impresses graphically, then you realize the physics are in the new engine, the first person view is there, and it also gives proper cockpit view … there’s so much here.

I don’t see too many Azteks around but the more boring Buick version of them are still everywhere.

This shit is bananas b-a-n-a-n-a-s

No.

I really like Wild Wild West, I didn’t watch it for forever because of how hated it is/was but thought it was actually funny and enjoyed the mix of steampunk and goofyness. Kevin Kline is always great.

I also like Jingle All the Way and watch it every few years, it’s perfectly watchable until the very end when it collapses under a terrible CGI spectacle that just doesn’t work

I went to see it at noon after dropping the car off for work and was literally the only one in the theatre. I thought it was pretty good.

I saw a cartoon on here once with an out-of-towner complaining about all the horse-carriages in this “Jay town” but I can’t find it.
