Bit harder to make it your whole personality

My Dinner with Andor

Someone needs to tell him to follow his leader

the one good thing he ever did

newsie-wewsies -- that one is on you, StanM! (and that has given me great lolz for years so <3)

it is a thing though ... it just isn't something that really affects people like the ones you mentioned ... it's happened to people i know. some of them deserved it.

thing is I think he actually was called an asshole by a lot of people at the time tbh ...so I never really "got" that song

The problem is giving your heart to a famous person (the person, not their work). They didn't ask for it, they'll step on it if it's in the way, and the tread marks will spell out "LOL @ U"

Death to ChatGPT, death to the posters of ChatGPT

Who doesn’t need yet another thread for people with nothing to say?

pardon?

fart vs. shart vs. baby up in this bitch

yeah the baby up in this bitch sticker is classic. i would like to know how this meeting came about. there is a very heavy sense of instant camaraderie in this photo, and i think it's because we can all imagine the kinship of finding that other person who chose shart or fart and drives around with it every day

they look like sisters to me. probably got the plates in tandem.

obviously heroes

representing!

is the line… your mom?

Hadn’t realized how much I had invested in this result.

[Blocked. Tap to read.]

this thread is mildly amusing but ultimately depressing.

Every time I have typed todays date my inner voice has been reading it as if it was a sound check for a gig.

2 2 - 1 2 - 2 2

… bit more level on the mic

yeah I just had to type 122222 for some accounting thing... next year all that fun goes away

nah still fun -- we get 1-21-23 -- and 12-1-23

the usa truly is exceptional after all

next year will be proggier

hahahaha

i'm not sure of the context but i take this as a good sign for next year. i give the year 2022 two thumbs down -- way down. jabbing both thumbs deeeeep into the soil where it gets very cold down. 2023 is going to be better. i fukken guarantee it

the official theme song of 2022 was 311's "down". the theme for 2023 is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI2lTwY0Jx8

oh ... the context is that instead of this year's 12-12-22 etc there will be 12-1-23 ... I still, over a decade later, remember WW yelling at me while correcting my rhythm on my ride cymbal when trying to play one of his Luttenbachers compositions

yeah i think on 12-22-23 we're all going to open up a new document, type "ABACAB" and go back to bed

re: the DD-MM-YY vs. MM-DD-YY

the latter is much easier to sort in Excel. We really don't care about the day as much as the month, fwiw

fuck the month, just give me the season

i expect to have a birthday somewhere in Q2

same with days. no more days. let's switch to moons

Q2 of calendar or fiscal year though? Like my birthday is in Q2 ... but in a July - June fiscal year, otherwise I am Q4 tbh and tbrr

sarahell what is your fiscal year? your personal fiscal year?

calendar quarter vs fiscal year quarter is going to supplant left vs right as the foremost ideological confrontation of the age

i vote calendar BUT i also propose calendar reform. i have described my preferred calendar reform many times over the years, at least once a year, so i will hold off on that for now

sorry, xp

only really good way to write dates is YYYY-MM-DD, the Chinese have this right.

calendar quarter vs fiscal year quarter is going to supplant left vs right as the foremost ideological confrontation of the age

and not only is the calendar year vs the July-June year (common to a lot of local government and public sector entities because it maps more easily onto an academic year) a thing, but did you know that the US government has an October - September fiscal year? Like, wtf???? Whose fucking year begins in October???

did you know that the US government has an October - September fiscal year?

not only did i know that, but that was my first exposure to FY politics and, to me, that is the true FY

there's a reason i'm on the calendar side these days

July through June is much better fyi ...

the latter is much easier to sort in Excel. We really don't care about the day as much as the month, fwiw

Do you... care about the year?

there are at least a dozen episodes of midsomer murders more entertaining and fun than either of these 2 movies.

yep, it's just more noisy garbage!

i guess a spoiler here, so i'll hide it, but

the evil marine guy was a clone. so, doesn't that take all of the drama out of killing him? why does it matter if he dies? what is the difference between him dying vs a Sony Aibo dying? just go buy another!

non-spoilery: here's what i want to see. give me 5 clones of the evil marine, and they all love spider and want to be the "true father"

i'm going to assume that's about the fabelmans.

haha, oops, i actually meant to post that on that the real thread! but probably better here
