TERRIFYING PRECISION and ARCHITECTURAL GENIUS of checks notes

“Knowing how shadows and windows work”

Man, the bar is unrealistically high for some people…

As someone who never planned on playing Balatro, and was kind of getting tired of seeing it on my feed the way I got tired of helldivers 2 stuff right after release.

I would happily toss a tenner to the dev for a lawyer over this.

Especially annoying for people with astigmathism

Good point. I get annoyed with the little lines on my windshield caused by the wipers in rain that make lights stretch a bit (idk how to better explain that), I can’t imagine how terrible it must be for people with astigmatism

I just drove to Michigan and back, saw maybe 5 vehicles, including a semi covered in lights.

One just had a single dollar store strand around the hood, one had followed all the panel lines on the car, and the others were just wrapped a couple times over the top and underside.

None were flashing or twinkling, just steady lights.

As long as they don’t flash or move while driving, honestly I don’t think a couple strands would be that distracting except maybe a double-take

I can see how this many lights would be distracting for some. I would definitely look more than twice, if I had space around me.

Still though I think I’d just ask them to leave most of the lights off while actually on the move at most.

Part 1 is the first act

Oh my god I just now got what my sister meant by “the act break is super long” and why my mother replied “lol” in the family group chat.

Same.

I listened to the original Broadway cast so many times I was concerned I wouldn’t like a “cover” of it. After my sister said she liked it, and listening to a song and not finding it objectionable, I had even considered watching it.

This is the first I’ve heard of it being a two parter, so they hid it well. I’m surprised my sister didn’t say anything

Not a chance in hell I’m watching it until part two comes out in physical media so I can watch them both in one go. I hate breaking up the flow, even for a few hours while I wait for the next screening…

Sweet baby deity, I hate sidewalk blockers.

I had a bruise for months on my shin because some douche nozzle parked with a hitch sticking almost to the other side of the 4ft sidewalk.

If you can’t park nicely inside the space, at least have the decency to walk your happy ass across the parking lot and park in the back.

I’m absolutely sure there were at least four people on a crew going around to the reported ones, my point is a single person out for a stroll with a step ladder could do the same thing with barely any effort.

Incidentally, a single guy with a stepladder could totally cost the city another $1500 in about 10 minutes, and keep the crew in business.

1: this makes me want to travel 2,000 miles to stick every googly eye I have on every statue I can find

B- 1500 DOLLARS??? For SEVEN STATUES

Someone is ripping the city off, or someone in the office is stealing because that’s like… 5 minutes at each statue. 6 if you want to make sure no sticky residue is left.

I could see them actually doing this.

Well think of it this way:

A politician COULD approve a project like this, and his area will see improvements in 2-7 years, and everything connected to the network improves in 4-10 years, and if the politician personally invests and things go well (they would, but yOu nEvEr KnOw) then the politician could stand to gain a decent chunk of ROI in a few years.

OR

The politician accepts a bribe listens to lobbyists from the automotive industry, kills all competition to ICE vehicles and more roads, the area stagnates for the third decade in a row, and the politician is $10,000 richer today.

Honestly the politicians hands are completely tied here. Their net worth is only $18 million, do you really think they can afford to wait a few years???

“Cuntry cosplay pavement princesses” as my wife likes to call them.

I thought that was the expectation?

They introduced us to a younger Witcher that the Geralt was training, Geralt’s story came to an end…

It felt like that’s what they were intentionally setting up, a totally Ciri-focused next game.

surely they’ll follow up with investments into US-produced solar equipment to boost the economy and bring prices down to competitive levels, right?

… Right?

I see their junk at every thrift store and flea market in Ohio.

I legitimately thought they went out of business.

My condolences to your ears and temporal lobe.

She makes me want to jump into the abyss, not just gaze long into it.

I swear to God if I hear that song one more time I’ll go Setlik III on the closest radio.

I found out the Shrike likes to impale it’s victims on spikes thorns and sticks for later consumption.

I was trying to find information on the romulan Shrike.

Both are pretty metal.

Humans never change.

Romans carved and painted grafitti on plenty of things over the centuries they were around.

Let the silly gooses be goofy goobers, I say. Maybe humans in 1500 years will have a chuckle.

If it hasn’t met another living creature in 14,000 years, can it really say it’s the baddest thing around?

Sure it says it could kick my ass, but if it’s so confident why doesn’t it come up here and prove it? Bitch ass horror from the deep…
