Only 619 of my games were rated, but my Steam library has over 4,000 games. Dude needs to review more woke games so I can get a better indicator of my wokeness level. 😆

By the way, only 11.55% of my rated games were not woke. 23.58% were woke, and 64.87% were slightly woke.

I’m definitely using this curator to find some good “woke” games from now on.

It’ll have to be my subscription list because I don’t have recommendations.

I turned off my YouTube history and now it just gives me a blank homepage with some vaguely threatening message claiming I won’t have any recommendations until I turn it back on. Joke’s on them, I’ve been trying to get YouTube to clear the junk off my homepage for years.

Back in the day (almost a decade ago), I would spend my free time telling every video that popped up on my homepage to not recommend that channel to me. After doing this for a few months, my homepage suddenly showed up blank! No recommendations, nothing. I took a screenshot of it at the time because I couldn’t believe that my homepage was finally clean.

I enjoyed my clean homepage for almost a year, until they revamped the site and everything came back.

I think it was sometime in the last year or two, they changed their homepage again and I started getting a blank screen with a notice, saying I needed to turn on history to get my recommendations back. No thanks, you just gave me exactly what I wanted!

Their recommendations were never anything I was interested in watching anyway. I’d click on a single news video about a local accident and then all I’d get in my feed is disaster compilation videos or something.

That’s why I have subscriptions; everything I want to watch is in my subscription list and I learn about new channels from friends. I don’t need a faulty algorithm to suggest content to me.

I feel like Pedro Pascal is this generation’s Burt Reynolds.

When I was a teenager, “whipping shitties” was what we called spinning donuts in the parking lots with a car.

Although you’re correct, it could be attributed to the same shenanigans on a frozen lake.

I remember one intersection near my high school that always got extremely icy every winter… Some buddies of mine with drivers licenses loved to “whip a shitty” through that intersection. Basically, crank their wheel hard as they’re driving through the intersection and spin in a few circles while sliding through the intersection. I dunno how we never crashed a car doing that.

As a Minnesotan, I have to agree.

Judging by the comments here, I’m assuming “fent” is referring to fentanyl?

My gaming setup at home is currently Neutral Good, with the regular monitor being a 48" 4K OLED monitor and the tilted one being a 28" DualUp monitor (one tall almost-square monitor the size of two small monitors stacked on top of each other). I used to be Chaotic Good, but with three regular monitors side-by-side and a tilted one instead of just two and one.

My next goal is Chaotic Neutral, but with three monitors on the bottom row (maybe 27"-36" each?) and my giant 48" monitor on top, wall-mounted above the others.

When I was in the US military working as an IT guy, I once worked for a Weather Squadron where every computer on the Operations Floor had the Neutral Evil setup. All four displays rarely worked at the same time; us IT guys were always fixing them. The only real fix was to unplug their monitor cable and plug it back in over and over until the computer finally detected it. Truly an evil setup.

Some of those computers also had a fifth monitor. The Lead Desk for each section, who needed to update a digital status board, which was just a giant monitor on one wall of the room.

Most places I worked in the military were arranged like Lawful Good. If you were really lucky, you might get a third monitor too.

The creator stated that he’s trying to make it the dumbest humor possible. It’s not meant to have any intelligent writing behind it. But he said he’s also trying to get a chuckle out of readers in the process, and in that endeavor, I feel he’s succeeding. At least, for most people.

Elf Comic was the only one of his comic series that got super popular online, so he’s appealing to the demands of his readers and put his two other series on hiatus to create Elf Comic exclusively. As long as there’s a large fanbase for it, Elf Comic will continue to be made.

Elf Comic! I love this series. I’ve been following it on WebToon; one of the only things I read on that app. The elf girl’s anger at the human boy for just existing is so fucking hilarious!

The “movies” are actually 4-part episodes each, for a grand total of a 16 episode season. They released as films, but they officially counted as four 4-episode story arcs within a season of the show.

No, I still register as having alcohol in my system. I just don’t experience the fun effects of it.

I’m one of those rare people whose body processes alcohol differently. I don’t get drunk. I don’t get tipsy. I can’t even get a buzz. To me, all alcohol just tastes gross, and there’s no fun side effects to enjoy while drinking it. So… I’m the permanent DD every time my friends and family go out to drink.

Considering its “run time” was from 2009-2016, the actual dates of the webcomic, I’m assuming it’s just categorizing it as a show because of all the flash animations included with the comic.

There are other web series that show up as TV shows on IMDb, like The Nostalgia Critic, which has never been an officially licensed show, but have enough serialized video media to constitute a series of sorts.

That’s BSoD.

In case you didn’t know, correcting someone’s syntax is considered unprofessional. 🍆👊

Basically charisma (the rizz part)

Think of it like “cha-rizz-ma.” It’s just a slang abbreviation, using only the middle sound of “charisma.”

Fellow old guy here, in my early 40s. I had to figure out where “rizz” came from before it really clicked for me.

I don’t know birds, but I always assumed it was a species of bird that doesn’t migrate for the winter, so hearing another bird talk about leaving for winter is blowing its tiny mind.

Either that, or it’s just the first winter it’s experiencing, since it’s confused about the color change of the leaves.

when I went to France I wanted the opportunity to practise it.

My wife’s biggest frustration in France was that she wanted to practice her French, but everyone picked up on her American accent and immediately switched to English. She rarely got more than a sentence out.

My experience being stationed in Germany with the US military, about 30 mins from the French border:

A coworker of mine complained about his visit to Paris because every single French person he tried to speak to either ignored him, turned their nose up at him, or was just rude to him. He only spoke English and they all seemed offended when he tried to get their attention in English.

My wife and I took several years of French in high school, and whereas neither of us could hold a proper conversation, we knew enough to ask directions, order from a menu, or request help.

Every time we started off a conversation in French, the French people would immediately switch to English and help us out. They were very kind to us.

We learned that if you make an effort to speak their language, most French people are very helpful. But if you just assume they’ll speak English, they’re likely to be offended and won’t help you out.

One time in Berlin, my wife tried to speak German to a guy at a tourist shop and he immediately switched into French. Apparently, my wife has a heavy French accent to her German. She was able to finish the conversation in French.
