Pete Davidson (RIP his career choices)

What’s he done? I haven’t seen much from him since his comedy special a few years ago.

And yeah, I’ve been loving Jane’s stuff as well. Her songs can be kind of hit or miss but she’s so great in general. I loved how she played off the reaction to the Trumpet mom in the recent sketch

In luge, being the best is sort of just a height and weight distribution thing. I honestly think a corpse that’s my same shape could win.

The sport needs her. She’s a once in a generation… shape.

Alexander Skarsgard was great on SNL

It’s the distance from the lens to the focal point, as in where the picture focuses on the sensor behind the lens. If you have a very long focal length like a telescope, you can see things further away but the range you can see is very small. With a short focal length you can’t see as far but you can see a much wider view. Check out this chart:

If you get very close to something with a short focal length or far away from it with a long focal length you can get essentially the same picture of a main subject (although what you can see in the background will be different), but even then a short lens will sort of taper your subject closer to a single point and a long lens will widen it. You can see this effect easily on faces: see this gif or this gif or this picture for an example.

That was great

It’s a nice idea but I don’t think it would’ve changed much. There are plenty of otherwise intelligent people who buy into conspiracy theories, like remember how the pandemic made us aware that antivax nurses exist? Not many for sure, but I didn’t even think that was possible. And there are also people who are smart in their field who think that makes them smart in everything so they spout a bunch of bullshit. Add in the smart grifters and I really don’t think very much would be different with a slightly more difficult internet.

Hey now, that sentient overcooked hot dog is doing the best it can. It’s remarkably intelligent for a hot dog.

There’s a notable exception making your list seem a bit… speciesist

That happened to me as well but it worked in incog windows for some reason

I’ve been wondering if ads never got more intrusive than the simple banners on the side or top of sites if there would’ve been a huge push to block them. I think most people would figure that, especially on small sites run by people instead of huge corporations, that web hosting isn’t free so a banner on a page was a fair tradeoff.

But of course that couldn’t be enough for the ad folk who started ramping things up with their flashing ads and pop-ups, eventually culminating in the autoplay video malware hellscape the net has turned into today.

Just seems to be a basic commentary on how people think about prices in general. The x.99 thing seems stupid but there’s plenty of data showing that it has an effect.

Why does Africa, the largest continent, not simply eat the other ones?

You’re saying you want someone more milquetoast?

I don’t think the scouts in the US started as religious (or at least not strongly religious), but there was plenty of molestation going on even back then. Or maybe I’m not remembering everything correctly–it’s been awhile since I listened to the Behind the Bastards episodes on it

root for sport

Root for “sports” in the US. We don’t use it as a collective noun like in Australia

Yeah, at least he reacted to a financial crisis by giving money to people instead of corporations. Not enough money, but it was still going to mostly the right places. When the banks gambled with our money and caused a financial crisis Obama could’ve done the same thing and allocated housing money to people, which would “trickle up” to the banks. Instead he bailed them out with no strings attached so they could continue fucking everyone over.
