Same here. One of the instructions was “write your name on the board.” Hardcore shaming.

Psst, it’s “err”, not “air”. Pronounced the same.

Pumpkin spice old fashioned. With real pumpkin puree!

I heard on a podcast a long time ago that the Army considered it one of their most successful recruiting tools. Not because it brought in more recruits, but because fewer recruits dropped out, apparently because playing the game led to fewer surprises after joining.

Seems as good a reason as any to post this.

Good luck getting it out of your head, by the way.

My favorite/least favorite instance of this kind of oh-so-subtle dysphemism is when CNN (I think) ran a piece about some marketing suit’s complaint that millennials are “brand promiscuous”, for basically the same reason as we’re seeing with these streaming services applied to other products. This sort of thing is what led to r/DeathByMillennial.

It’s been giving me semantic satiation for a while now.

After leaving it in my backlog for close to a decade, I finally started playing Fallout 3. Yeah. On a technical level it’s mostly fine, save for some shocking framerate dips and the way it sometimes repeats my movement inputs. Other than that, it’s a pretty good game, particularly for loot whores like myself.

If he’s not lying about not pulling the trigger, then he, or the firearms manager, also bought a dangerously cheap gun.

The whole thing was a cascading failure, imho, with Baldwin at the end of it, making him no less culpable than anyone before him. Ultimately, “I didn’t know the gun was loaded” is never an excuse.

we sort of see a 20 percent uplift on the value of that customer because you’re locking that person, committing to a longer-term relationship.

Do these people never listen to themselves? Who the hell wants to be “locked”?

Yes, we all do, and most of us outgrow it.

All to make their job easier, lol.

Not a teacher, but what I keep reading is that they’re trying not to get pilloried by students’ screaming MAGA parents.

“Hmm, we just finished killing off a revenue stream, better raise rates on the other.”

Yes, I’m still mad about the DVD service ending. Legitimately hurt my interest in movies.

Off-topic, but the fact that the replies aren’t scores of variations of “just hold the vessel to your lips like we do in the civilized world” makes me glad I switched from Reddit to Lemmy.

How much does it cost to repair a fender bender on a Suburban? Cus on an R1S, well…

Maybe I’m too optimistic, but I get the feeling that AI necromancy will be the next 3D. It’ll be a fad for a few years, and then we’ll wonder where “look kids, it’s [dead/old actor]!” went. Maybe AI will find a useful place in film, maybe it won’t, but I doubt it will be one of the main draws for very long.
