    WandaVision

    So far this is about as good as some random web short they might put out in between movies.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    So these people are losing their ppk file or equivalent? Its not even a question of forgetting a pw, but forgetting where they put their files? That may be even funnier We should note, here, that I'm making fun of people who were smart enough to grab a few btc while they were easy to grab...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Why does this keep happening? Do bitcoin wallets have bad password rules or something? I have a hard time believing it when someone tells me they lost their email password, I flat out don't believe it when its a pw worth >200 million. Unless there is something retarded in bitcoin wallet...

    Disappearing from the internet

    Good Lord, I spent a couple minutes looking around that place. What the fuck? Its probably for the best that the end is nigh.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Small business. Over 150 pages of records and the rest is receipts. Of course I could make it shorter but I'm not fucking reformatting for these cunts. No question of a fine, just the refund size. Tax situation was unusual and fucked up in 2019

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    the motherfucking IRS So they audited me this year. 5 months after filing they finally sent me the letter. OK, you dumb cunts, here is all of the information you asked for. I dont make fucking mistakes on my taxes; if I claimed it, its correct. This shit aint rocket science. 3 more months go...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The biggest sign for me is this. After season 8, I've had zero interest in re-watching any of the episodes or re-reading any of the books. Zero. This matches other fans I've talked to. Prior to that point, I would re-watch each season at least once, and the books were in my regular rotation...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Great movie, and I agree with the statement that it would have worked just as well regardless of the color of Miles skin. Doesnt change the fact that it was a multiverse story that literally included the original Peter Parker, acknowledging right up front that it was a what-if alternate world...

    Lumi's Batshit Insane Thread

    lmao no. You are not very smart. This phrase means: to assume the truth of an argument or proposition to be proved, without arguing it. It dates back to fucking Aristotle. However, sometime in the past decade, the definition you give was literally inserted into the dictionary because retarded...

    Bandwagon's Drones Thread

    I'm trying to figure out how you could actually get busted for "illegally" flying a drone unless you did it repeatedly and blatantly, like at an airport or something. Are people out there actually calling in reports, "oh no I saw a drone!"? And even if they did, how do they trace it to you...

    Relax, friend, the only solace of the new regime is that we no longer have to be upset about who's casting their "vote", or who they are "voting" for!

    Shawlitics: The Return of Shawcial Capital

    Its not just that. Its not just that its entertainment and gratification. Its not like Im 100% work all the time, I have hobbies and waste time on entertainment like anyone. I meant it more as a comment on the very narrow specificity of what's happened, and how different that is from the...

    Lumi's Batshit Insane Thread

    How completely unsurprising that you're one of those people that doesn't understand what the phrase "begs the question" means. That's even more embarrassing than this silly troll where you pretend to not understand the difference between refraction and reflection.

    Shawlitics: The Return of Shawcial Capital

    Respectfully, meant without any criticism at all, my experience couldnt have been more different. Reading accounts like this is sort of a twilight zone experience. The great lesson of the pandemic shutdown for me has been - how interesting, it turns out a large fraction of what society spends...

    Not to kink shame, Lumi, but this is a weird troll. Even for you.

    Lumi's Batshit Insane Thread

    Thats what you were going with? How boring. Is this tied to flat earth mythology in some way? Claiming that refraction and reflection are the same thing? "prisms are mirrors" lol edit: "bare with him" might have been funnier. I'm not sure.

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    lol yup thats pretty bad. I cant think of anything good about that version of the flash. His suit looks like a goddam robot. And his legs move like they arent attached like normal human legs. dunno why effects studios always think superspeed needs sparklies. I don't recall a lot of sparklies...

    Have you never watched a woman try to back up? Its funny shit, if you ever get the opportunity to watch when they don't know youre watching. The look of pure confusion.

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    fell asleep part way through, may finish it someday. The lasso shit is so fucking dumb. I cant think of an appropriate analogy, any other superhero where their signature thing was done so badly. Its like if they did a spider man movie but made the web shooters somehow so gay that every time...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Saw this article that I thought did a good job of expressing the most likely (in my view) answer https://www.universetoday.com/148088/beyond-fermis-paradox-xv-what-is-the-percolation-theory-hypothesis/

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I enjoyed this story, and wanted to make sure I understand this correctly. After a night of alcoholic ranting, when she started down a similar path on the second night, you hid her mixer? Not drugs or alcohol, but Coca-Cola? I don't know whether to shake my head or salute.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    My jimmy rustle is that there are still retailers shipping time-sensitive deliveries with USPS. USPS literally stopped functioning in May-June of this year. I was shipping many packages a week so it was obvious. Like anyone rational I switched to UPS. But somehow a bunch of retailers decided...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    It worked in spiderverse specifically because of the multiverse storyline. Race and gender swapping established heroes is fine in multiverse / what-if storylines. Whats fucking retarded is when they try to pretend Batman was always black, Wonder Woman was always a latinx transwoman, or The...

    Dune (2020)

    Some of the elements in the beginning of son's books are interesting. The early cyborg stuff. I *hate* how he shoehorned his pulp d-list sci fi garbage into being the main unknown antagonist. I hate how he took every interesting technology or concept in the Dune universe and overexplained it in...

    Dune (2020)

    This. NEVER read the shit by Herbert's son. It will taint all your memories of the series and make you hate sci fi itself for a time. They are the worst things I've ever read.

    Dune (2020)

    I can't like this comment enough. God Emperor Leto is the reason I re-read these books every few years. He's a concept I've never seen explored in any other book, let alone explored so well.

    Dune (2020)

    Movie theater sound systems are one of the best reasons to watch movies at home. The big screen is awesome and has no downsides assuming you get a good seat. In theaters, the sound that is always turned up roughly 5 to 10 times louder than it should be, with the bass cranked to 11, and a weird...

    Because of the best selling sci fi books of all time, yes. I read that on a book jacket once. Not gonna look it up and confirm cause it damn well should be true

    WTF, I knew Chicago fucked up pizza, they can't do wings either? What is that crusty shit all over the outside where the beautiful crispy skin should be? Come the boogaloo, we've got to make sure no one makes it out of that city alive. For the sake of our shared culinary future.

    I've never understood this. I'm like, you know you don't actually have to answer every time this thing rings, right? I don't answer the phone if it's in another room. Fuck that, I'll check who it was next time I'm in that room. I'm not on call.

    The Great Filter Hypothesis

    This is a machine's view of humanity, not a human's. Regardless of the precise shape of the population size vs innovation curve, the additional humans contribute in so many other ways that this relationship hardly matters. Each individual can look at their own network of loved ones and...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    See, thats where all this post modernism and relativism bullshit gets us. A honking horn doesnt mean different things depending on what the honker feels at the time. A honking horn means one thing. It means "FUCK YOU, MOTHERFUCKING COCKSUCKER". If someone is confused about the meaning of the...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Yeah, fuck the USPS. One of our local drivers refuses to get out of her truck to deliver packages, and always has. So she's always just thrown them on the ground in our driveway. Usually close to the house, sometimes not. I have a long ass driveway. Anyway, lately she's taken to pulling into...
