Then all of these rocks and stars are forgotten when the universe is just black holes for a trillion trillion years.

I wish this was a real law. Stayed at the Omni Parker House in Boston recently which is allegedly haunted by the ghost of Charles Dickens because he lived there for like a year.

But he didn’t die there. I feel like his ghost has better places to be than the flat he shacked up in while visiting the States that one time.

There being a link doesn’t prove anything. These things pop up all the time claiming to pay people to come to a protest or whatever. Let me know when a single person posts about getting paid.

physically denies them entry

I feel like that has never stopped football hooligans before.

RIP.

I don’t get it…

I want to know what unprofitable businesses are still more profitable than WinRAR.

Looks like it’s getting close to the Streisand kiss of death.

Negative. I am a meat popsicle.

Can’t speak to the headphones, but they eventually moved to the head lice-free option of one of those directional dome speakers overhead.

I mean, we had these in the 90s.

I think it’s different if you consider ads as a way to maintain the status quo.

Like, there’s an ad I keep seeing on TV where 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago plays as parents struggle to keep up with the parenting responsibilities of their toddlers. It’s an ad for Amazon. And thank god for Amazon for being available to help these parents.

And like…everybody knows about Amazon. Nobody is going to suddenly sign up for a Prime account after seeing this ad. However, parents or expecting parents who already have Prime accounts are going to relate to the people in the ad and not even consider other options for their parenting needs.

Maybe a very specific example, and their are certainly ads just telling you to buy chicken nuggets, but I’m seeing it more and more.

Edit: Or hell, look at detergents. Do you really think Tide has innovated anything in the past 30 years?

Number 9 is sometimes pronounced ku — with the same pronunciation as agony or torture.

Not a great comparison.

Eight soldiers were just standing there when around 300 Bostonians surrounded them and started throwing shit at them. We would be lucky if ICE could show the level of restraint the British officers showed.

If a block of lead were a light year thick, it would have a 50% chance if blocking a neutrino.

(Something I’ve heard. Can’t look it up now)

Also that’s not that impressive. 30 million devices is roughly one per second year round. Phone manufacturers make many times that in a year.

Um, I think you mean that the car crashed into the airport. The person was simply riding in the car.

Gemini evolved into a seal.
