  • “40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallest—and then, when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest. And now it’s the tallest.”

  • Who cares, fuck Bannon. People worth listening to say it too, let's talk about them and not give Bannon attention.

  • "What are these people running from? They're not! They're running TO..."

  • Nah man you can turn it off and at least pretend to be happy while you spend 2 hours with your kids.

  • This doesn't look dystopian at all. Sure the one playing videos and stuff is on that line, but most of it's about mobility aid for residents and reducing the strain on staff, they even point out that they can't use these robots to replace people. This all looks like good news if you read anything past the headline.

    He added: “I often receive questions from people in other countries, such as: ‘It costs a lot to introduce this…can we reduce the number of staff?’

    “Not yet, we are not at that stage…although we can reduce the workload of people, we cannot replace people.”

    David Sinclair, chief executive of the International Longevity Centre UK chief executive, warned that the potential of technology to transform elderly care was sometimes overstated.

    Simple innovations such as urine sensors in beds and lifting aids are likely to be of more use in the future than expensive humanoid robots, he said.

    He added: “Robots like Pepper are very expensive and it is not clear that having a robot talk to you brings the same benefits as real human company.”

  • I've got 2 of everything just in case. Dirty dishes can't pile up if they don't exist.

  • Never seen a car with a butt crack like that before

  • Jones hasn't crawled under any rocks, he's been going strong even with a billion dollar judgement against him and filing for bankruptcy. Infowars is being auctioned off in a week so it might be bought by someone who will just keep him exactly where he is, but he's been openly setting up a backup business and directing people to it, which he's said ON AIR he'll just fold into the existing business if all goes well. His dad has a completely independent supplement company and he's got completely unaffiliated mates selling his merch.

    The only reason he's less prominent now is because the politicians and the mainstream media in the US are so fucking unhinged that he's struggling to stay relevant in his niche.

  • These comics are from the Onion iirc, they're intentionally shit takes.

  • She's an anti-hero more often than not now, fighting villains bigger than her. From the New 52 when she started going solo and turned on Joker (or he turned on her really), to Injustice where she was a major player in the resistance, to the DCEU where she turned against ARGUS to stop Starro which wasn't even her mission. Even in the Suicide Squad game which is part of the Arkham universe and doesn't include any kind of redemption arc for her she's still only killing the Justice League when they're being controlled by Brainiac, who is probably second only to Darkseid as far as villains go. Under duress sure, but she's doing it.

  • See also: Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy respectively.

  • I bought a little $15 single-serve rice cooker and left it in the staff room where I work. Nobody else has ever touched it or even knows who it belongs to as far as I know. Beats wasting hours doing bulk meal prep on the weekends or getting takeaway. If it ever disappears it was cheap enough that it doesn't matter.

  • There are definitely times when it seems like he's had a hit of something during commercial breaks. He's often drunk on air (and drinks during the show) so it's certainly possible.

    Edit: I just listened, he's drunk on air during this episode. And the headline is a quote from Steve Bannon, bit misleading.

  • I heard (no idea if it's true because I really don't care enough to look into it) that he made a bland and inoffensive movie because comedy is too woke and you can't say anything any more, so there's no point trying to be funny. I'm not sure if that being true or a joke would be sadder for him.

  • Surely that spaghetti-topped pizza isn't real, that's got to be from one of those ragebait tiktoks or something right? That looks and sounds awful.

  • Average night when you accidentally open tvtropes.

  • Nice. I've never played DF but I've got a good thousand hours in Rimworld (rookie here obvs). I'm thinking when I get home from work it's time to update the modlist and waste all of my free time for the next month.

  • I've had several people comment on the way I tie my shoelaces. I can't even remember how to do it the "normal" way, but I use that knot that takes about half a second where you make both loops at once and pull them through each other.
