Also, no human being has pronounced two words with as much mustard as Maya Rudolph does when pronounces "Bubble bath" as the Hormone Monstress on Big Mouth.

Reminds me of Patton Oswalt’s bit on being “B-word fat”. (I’d like but I’m on my phone. I think it’s part of My Weakness Is Strong.)

CptDomano has an extra life stream going. Some of us are going to guest on it and play fighting games tonight.

SFV and SC6 for sure. Who knows where else the night takes us.

Come on by for ridicule and donations (for the kids).

9:30 ish to 12:30 ish Eastern.

I find mentioning dark souls and seeing what happens is a great way to find solid friends in parties. I have made 3!

It seemed like maybe the bride wasn't into Dark Souls... Who knew?

According to Homer, the ancient Greeks ate only meat and bread, AND YET the sandwich wasn't invented until the 18th century?

Is a hotdog a sandwich?

The Greeks' meat-in-bread technology was so advanced they completely bypassed the sandwich and went straight to gyros.

Voting achievement unlocked.

Nevermind folks, misread something.

Get out of here with your hot dog questions!

This Marie Callender's FROZEN dinner says "Warm, Hearty and Delicious" on the box. I rather think that is false advertising.

They're describing the kind of hugs they'd like to give you.

There is another massive wildfire in California.

If you heat it up it may qualify for at least one of the three criteria. Also check the ingredients list, it may contain hearts if it has any “meat” content

"Delicious" means "contains stuff we found on the floor of the deli"

Sometimes I’m surprised we still have areas left to burn out here.

I'm no spoiler-phobe, but I am pretty freaking annoyed that, while looking for help with treasure maps in RDR2 using IGN's guides, I quite easily ended up clicking on a page that I'm 95% sure is a massive end-game spoiler.

It's not a huge surprise, but well done IGN for opting not to do the most basic work of hiding, again, an enormous end-game spoiler.

Pretty sure that would never happen with a Prima strategy guide.

They were strategy guides. Take them for all in all. We shall not look upon their like again.

Oops.

I need a black box for my subconscious so I can find out how, within a minute of waking up and not consuming any media or talking to anybody but my cat, I got that Sum 41 song stuck in my head all day.

It’s the power of the ear worm. You could try to replace it with a different ear worm. I suggest

i can’t go for that no no no can do i can’t go for that no no no can do i can’t go for that no no no can do i can’t go for that no no no can do i can’t go for that no no no can do

I read that when you get a song stuck in your head the best way to get it out is to imagine/sing the end of the song so your brain marks it as complete. Of course that doesn't help when you don't remember how the song ends...

Nah, nah, nah, nah-na-na-nah, nah-na-na-nah, hey Jude...

Welp, deleted* my twitter today. We'll see if that sticks.

*They don't really let you delete it, it's a "deactivation" that doesn't stick if you log in again. Kinda wish they'd just let me nuke the thing from orbit, but apparently it can disappear completely after 30 days. Somehow I don't think they'll get rid of it all, even then.

I don't know if they've changed their policies in the last few years, but I deleted my Twitter account awhile back, and it appears to have been completely nuked. I assume my old tweets are floating around an archive somewhere in Twitter headquarters, but the public-facing elements of my account are all gone. Someone else has even been able to register with my old handle.

I mean, there's no public-facing element anymore, but the contents of my account definitely still exist, as I logged in just to see what would happen, and it reactivated my account 100%.

I imagine that's quite deliberate, so that people who were waffling on deleting their accounts can walk that decision back extremely easily, since Twitter is better served by you being on their service rather than not. There may also be a legal aspect to it, I dunno.

You might want to wait until after those 30 days have passed. I mean yeah, it's a deletion that's a deactivation for a certain waiting period. That's pretty common (I'm dealing with that with Valve right now). But it doesn't mean that your account won't get deleted at all.

But hey, if it makes you feel any better, just think: you have a longer wait to delete your Steam or Twitter account than to buy an assault rifle! Go America!

Jury is still out on which of those can actually cause more damage in the wrong hands.

Steam or Twitter? I vote Twitter.

If a facehugger were to latch onto a Jedi, would the result be an alien with force powers and reflexes? And if so, how screwed would the universe be?

Universes plural.
