Forgive me if it’s obvious, but what does “waves their share” mean?

Yeah they were called CHEX QUEST and it was awesome.

As someone who hasn’t watched the show since it aired but who has seen it referenced continually on the internet, I definitely expected pocket sand.

Yeah probably when he wrote the script and imagined himself in the role he was probably just thinking of the logistics of getting the thirsty character some drink instead of thinking how hot it would accidentally end up being.

Me talking to the autistic kid in the back of the daycare stacking blocks and enjoying it a lot: “Enjoy your block.”

The autistic kid:

You can’t act like a precise robot that is always right and also beep your red sirens when other people are seeing humor that you don’t see. If you’re being a robot then chances are you are wrong about the jokes.

In this case the juxtaposition of the natural in-person way of speaking and the unnatural asynchronous text chat if twitter is the source of the humor. When you say that the two scenarios are not similar, that is part of the engine that drives the joke and makes it funny. It’s as if you see shutting everyone down for misunderstanding that it was not a sports bar but in fact a metal pipe that the two men walked into when the one man ducked.

Those food based subversion names are all alphabetical. I guess back then they didn’t have enough avocados in the code to call it “California style” so they went with “Cupcake.”

n9d was not very memorable for me so I think I probably agree with your taste overall. if you’re really only going to read one more then I would make sure not to skip The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet. I think Ghostwritten is one of his earliest books and I think it really shows.

It’s really really interesting to imagine a different order to read these stories when you think about which little overlaps you would or would not be able to appreciate.

One of my favorite things about his books is that all his gimmicks with the overlapping characters and the horologist stuff doesn’t really matter all that much if the story is just otherwise also extremely well-written. so the “gimmicks” really do feel like a bonus and not like the main point.

I have loved all of David Mitchell’s books but Cloud Atlas was the perfect one that I started with that made me want to see everything else he read. I just love the structure of it so so much.

This is what me and my partner say to each other when we drink good coffee.

oh cool, I can see that it’s similar Borderlands by the screenshots, and I can see that it’s like Star Citizen because it’s not actually released yet and they’re taking money for early access.

I will always remember the moment when I realized all the “Got Milk?” posters in my elementary and middle school cafeterias were industry propaganda.

Your bot couldn’t decide if it was quoting the questions marks or quoting what was inside the quotation marks so it compromised and only replicated the closing quotation mark.

This is my favorite one lol.

It’s actually called the “clockmakers four” or “watchmakers four.” it’s a thing.

Yeah it was a different time. The gameplay was solid though imo.

Hell yeah, diablo with guns.

Healthcare or health insurance? We shouldn’t conflate the two just because The health insurance company has “healthcare” in its name and it got away with that stupid trick in the media.

If healthcare executives are afraid, then they have every incentive to be making sure people untangle that conflation of terminology that the health insurance companies are taking advantage of.

Health insurance is not healthcare.

Yeah it’s not really even a joke it’s just for the clapter. If someone said to you “it’s like we’re living in a dystopian future” it would be the same level of humor as this post.

The only thing putting it in a four-way venn diagram added was to explain to the reader that the person doesn’t know how venn diagrams work.
