No. The whole Mandela Effect from the mid 80s when people are like "I remember when he was released in the 1980s and it was so wonderful."

Wut?

The Mandela Effect was named because people claimed they remember him dying in prison in the 80s. Not being released.

The Mandela Effect is when I seen something that gave me hope in society but later realized I was just on drugs and we are all doomed.

What's it called when I rub my eyes really hard and I see concentric circles... spirals... within spirals.. infinite spirals within spirals... Moire... fate.. a knot...?

I'm having a mandolin effect, I think I'm closer to Baron of Hell. I just don't remember people saying they remember what they felt when something didn't happen, or when people are mistaken. I tried to communicate this on a day I missed my medication doses, so, well.. now you have a view into my education from 1st Grade to Bachelor's Degree.
HOW did I manage to get so far?

Also..

I've heard people complain and have lengthy arguments about this. In Wrath of Kha, Kirk kills the thing that crawls out of Chekov's ear violating the prime directive. It climbed out of an ear covered in blood. By this logic, the Alien movie xenomorphs should not have been killed either. Is Carter Burke from Aliens a precursor charter figurehead to the United Federation of Planets who suggested the Prime Directive, where it evolved from a business point of view, to a genuine(?) concern for life?

No, because Carter Burke is a ratfunk sonofabeach.

Max, what drugs are you on and where can I get some?

Modesty forbids, but missing doses, late doses or taking them on an empty stomach makes things interesting for life and my dreaming states. Fortunately they're prescription medications. I suggest prayer, Klingons don't take prisoners.

Hanatarash was notorious for their dangerous live shows. Some of the band's most infamous shows included Eye cutting a dead cat in half with a machete, strapping a circular saw to his back and almost cutting his leg off, and destroying part of a venue with an excavator by driving it through the back wall and onto the stage.[2]

At a 1985 show in Tokyo's Superloft, the audience were required to fill out forms due to the possibility of harm caused by the show. The show was stopped due to Eye preparing to throw a lit molotov cocktail onto the stage. The performance cost ¥600,000 (approximately $9,000 US) in repairs.[3]

After several years of the intense live shows, Hanatarash was forbidden from performing at most venues, and were only allowed to return to live performances in the 1990s after Eye would agree to cease his destructive on-stage behavior.[3]

I finally saw a Cybertruck in person and it is so much uglier and ridiculous than any picture can convey- everything else with Musk aside, I can’t believe people would pay for that thing.

I feel the same. Saw one parked a block from my apartment and had to laugh.
It gives off an "unfinished" vibe much stronger in person.

I've always had a soft spot for Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit, despite it in several ways not being a good game (and in some ways, being laughably bad), but I saw someone online tonight describe Quantic Dream/David Cage's output as "equivalent to one of those trashy page-turners where you know the story is stupid and you will ultimately be disappointed by it but you just gotta see what happens next" and I don't think anyone's ever described it better.

Today I had to watch one of the case managers at my new job face down a teenaged client having a behavioral episode. This client was a head taller and had a good hundred, hundred fifty pounds on her and was holding up a blunt object as if to strike her with it. She stood there, without raising a hand to defend herself, and said, perfectly calmly and without fear, "this isn't you. You are a good person. Please don't hurt me."

He put the object down. If he hadn't, she would be in the hospital and I would have had to subdue him and I don't know what would have happened to him or to me after that.

I want to be as brave and good at this job as she is.

Tesla recalls the Cybertruck for faulty accelerator pedals that can get stuck

Not some.

Every. Single. One.

Concerning!

EDIT: Also, they've sold 3,878 of these things so far, which is sub-DeLorean sales numbers.

On the upside, I guess, if they can have it featured prominently in a beloved Sci-Fi movie franchise, everyone will love it!

Musk will probably build a movie studio himself just to get a movie made about the stupid thing.

I just figured out what it reminds me of and it seems appropriate considering stuck accelerators:
a coffin!

it almost looks like it was designed to fail that way, I can’t believe that didn’t come up in testing

It did.

Too bad the customers were doing the testing.

The cybertruck is apparently now connected to roughly twice as many deaths as the Ford Pinto was when it was recalled.

Looking into it.

I just saw an Early Access Let's Play for Manor Lords and I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME FOR A NEW GAME, GUYS.

I'm looking forward to it, but I'm waiting for the full release. I have too many completed games to play!

I've been sticking to the mantra that one Early Access game at a time is enough.

Except that Valheim doesn't count. Alright?! It doesn't count! That's all I'm saying...

You know, I think the Great Gazoo, the goofy green alien in the Flintstones is part of the continuum and is also a Q, like Q in Star Trek. They both show up and snap their fingers and something happens, or they make things happen. They both have contempt for those not as smart as they are, were as Q is more creatively insulting, Gazoo is more to the point and calls Fred and Barney "dumb-dumbs.". Gazoo created a doomsday machine, but Q just likes to toy with humans and other species and wouldn't care what happened to them, unless he would get in trouble. Huh I have issues.

That might be the most sane thing you've said in a while, Max.

Bite your tongue! It's a secret..

I just did a fart that smelled exactly like hot pennies.
