My local Family Video just has them out with the action/adventure movies

The Dark Knight, Deadpool, Debbie Does Dallas, Dracula Untold...

Macross 7 by Disney directly, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The Simpsons by various other rights holders, and probably more that I'm not even aware of

Right now it's just one plotline in Macross 7 that involves sexual assault, and some "offensive" episodes of Always Sunny and The Simpsons. From what I've read, the Macross one makes the show better, but I'd rather not set a precedent that lets them clip out every gay and trans character to please the current administration

My favorite video title of all time is still "alkaline water ...with lemon"

Thunderf00t is smart about physics, I liked his science videos, but I really stopped paying attention to him when he started doing gamergate stuff. Is he still whining about feminists, or has he gotten better?

A Catholic socialist, a Jewish anarchist, and a Muslim communist walk into a bar, and they make a podcast about engineering disasters: Well There's Your Problem. It's great for that intersection of people for whom the phrase "crimes against TERFs aren't crimes" resonates and like listening to an engineer complain about low quality as-builts 2 hours into a 3 hour episode about 9/11

I was sold on the show when I found out that the episode about the Titanic was split into two parts, totaling around 5 and 1/2 hours. That's partially because they spend a lot of time bullshitting, and partially because they go really in-depth about how and why structures fail

Physicists calling it an "observer" is the worst thing since Ben Franklin decided to name positive and negative electrical charges. "Observer" implies that it's someone watching the thing, when really it's just the light interacting with something.

I used to think this way, but then I found out that Disney is actively censoring media that they've bought the rights to, so now my argument is that you should pirate stuff to keep the original art available

fintech that handles direct money services

A perfect description

Cashapp is also sort of an entirely online pseudo bank. There are places that let you deposit and withdraw cash, but they're like two steps above Bitcoin ATMs

I do know people who have these fully online banks though. On its own, it's a lot less convenient then just having an account with a local credit union where you can withdraw cash for free, and I really don't like that services like Venmo and Cashapp and Zelle are overtaking just handing physical dollar bills to each other

I mean I use Cashapp, but I could also not use it and my life wouldn't be much harder

Can't your purchases be tied to you via credit/debit card number? I mean obviously you can use cash, but I don't see a lot of people using cash

A hot and uneducated take: nothing of value will be lost. Nobody will ever go searching through a defunct twitch account's 142 hours of Minecraft speedrun attempts. If it's valuable, back it up locally

(Enter RADISHN'T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN'T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN'T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution's brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour'd drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group

must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
