I saw China’s military in the closet making brain weapons and I saw one of the brain weapons and the brain weapon looked at me

I'm going to wait a bit to see how the developers handle early access. I got into Valheim early access after their hugely successful launch and absolutely loved the game, but after three years of painfully slow and meagre updates the game still isn't properly optimized and is missing about a third of the content that should clearly be there. Those decisions are wholly on the developers, and, while I think the game is great and I got my money's worth, I get the sense that the devs are being precious about doing the work themselves instead of bringing in the resources to deliver what they promised. As a result, it's an unfinished product that I probably won't revisit.

If Palworld has good bones and the developers show they're committed to delivering then I don't see why I wouldn't give it an honest go, but I'm done buying unfinished products that have no guarantee of being delivered on time or in an acceptable state.

I heard about a plantation in Hawaii making sparkling pineapple wine and I really want to try it.

The Democrats could win any race they wanted at any time by simply agreeing to do the things that people want them to do. They would rather lose than let the electorate influence policy, and it’s not even close.

It would almost be forgivable if it didn’t slow everything to a crawl. At this point I’d let them put a tracking chip in my fucking brain if they’d just let websites load properly, but we aren’t even going to get that.

And yet the sun still won’t return my texts sadness

I’d be happy to believe that the sun is conscious, but there’s no way it wants to or is even capable of communicating with an ant living on a pebble a trillion miles away.

“I don’t spend any time on twitter” says man who spent enough time on twitter that he felt the need to delete it for sake of his mental health.

the United States feared that the Houthis would sink their ships, and then they had to ask Iran for help.

Imagine being the US official who had to phone up Iran hat in hand and ask for support protecting American ships. If I were the Iranian who got that phone call I would put the American on hold and get everyone in the office into the room like “Sorry, about that, could you say that again? I have some colleagues here-“ chuckling in the background “(shut up, he’ll hear you) I have some colleagues here who are very interested in your request. I’m sure we’d be happy to consider any reasonable actions in service to the relations between our two nations” puts the phone on mute “Hahahahaha! Oh god, I can’t even do this, I’m gonna cry. Okay, okay, keep it together, you have to hear this.”

Russel Peters is basically the Indian-Canadian Dave Chappelle, so this tracks.

The actor of captain Picard

Do you honestly not recognize Sir Patrick Stewart? No shade, it’s just wild to think there would be people who don’t recognize him at all, given the length and breadth of his career.

In answer to your question, I can’t speak for Patric Stewart, but my guess is that he chose to play the scene that way because it’s likely that very few people in the Federation smoke, and that’s probably doubly true for people who spend most of their time on a spaceship. My guess would be that Stewart was trying to indicate to the audience that smoking would be somewhat of an anachronism in the 23rd century.
