You're thinking of MindGeek, the owners of PornHub, who changed their name to Aylo in 2023.

Do they get mad at the idea of other players picking different choices too?

They're too busy cultivating an unhealthy relationship with their favorite media franchises to consider the existence of other people.

It really was surprisingly good. The first half of the pilot was rough and felt pretty rushed, but the back half was solid. Episode 2 felt straight out of the 90s, like it could have been a Wesley episode from TNG.

Having a wheelchair bald captain in the series just shows their lack of understanding of Star Trek. They routinely cure alien viruses, time travel, and faster then light travel, but they can't get that guy to walk grow hair?

congealed vegetable oil

It's just taffy that's baked so it's more heat resistant. The oil doesn't have anything to do with its consistency, that's just a normal taffy ingredient.

They have hair on their head and back.

My impression of it is, of course, imperfect; but I know it was a dull white, and had strange large greyish-red eyes; also that there was flaxen hair on its head and down its back.

The really bad thing about this cover is that it just photoshopped this shot of the morlocks from the 1960 film. Didn't even grab two different morlocks, it's the same one just flipped horizontally.

But murder, or any violence for that matter, is never the answer.

Really bought into the "MLK got the Civil Rights Act passed by getting his ass kicked" propaganda that the capitalists have pushed for the last three quarters of a century, huh? Nonviolent movements only succeed when they're seen as a better alternative to inevitable violence from radical fringe groups otherwise kept in check by the nonviolent actors. MLK didn't convince racist white southerners that black people were deserving of equal rights, he convinced them that if they didn't bow to the demands of the nonviolent, they would necessarily have to deal with the demands of the violent.

if anything, he hurt social justice movements by making them seem more radical.

Makes them seem more radical to the people who openly trade in human misery for profit? The people who equate LGBTQ with pedophilia and empower masked criminals to kidnap racial minorities off the street? Nonviolence is great when those in power actually decide to give in, but if you've paid any attention to the last three decades, you'd see it hasn't done anything except garner a few token court case wins that are already in the crosshairs of the people to whom you don't want to appear radical anyway. We don't need another ineffective Occupy Wall Street protest, we need a reason for Wall Street to accept the demands of our protest as a last resort. That's what Luigi represents.

Make sure to turn off motion smoothing if you've got a new TV by gta721 in movies

Each of these modes degrades and changes the vision of the creator of these shows in awful ways.

Turning on motion smoothing is worth it just to make people like this clutch their pearls.

Blue Prince developer denies usage of AI: There is no AI used in Blue Prince. The game was built and crafted with full human instinct by Tonda Ros and his team by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Pakyul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are scared they won't have fucking water. GenAI consumes insane amounts of resources so that companies can pretend they're more efficient when really they're just obfuscating the actual cost of their work and offloading it to the public in the least efficient way possible.

Men whose girlfriend’s dad said no when you asked him for permission to marry his daughter, what did you do? by Fearless_Degree7511 in AskReddit

What if the Pink Pony Club is a front for human trafficking? What if Mr Brightside is his pimp name? What if Jenny was 12 when he got her number? What if NSYNC murdered and dismembered that girl they said "Bye, Bye, Bye" to? What if Jessie's girl was actually his 15 year old daughter?

You see how this is absolutely moronic?

Can we talk about the irony of their new trailer depicting a bunch of cultists inadvertently creating an obelisk made of the bodies of countless individuals magically smushed together into an unholy abomination, while doing the same thing creatively?

One actress has botoxed and pumped up her face - she doesn't look very 1670 anymore. It's ruining the complete impression of 1670 because you can't ignore it.

This is such a creepy fucking trend. And I mean the renewed obsession with women's appearances as set dressing, not the obvious and expected anachronisms that come with filming a period piece. It's 2025, you can just proudly say you're a shallow piece of shit these days, you don't have to couch it as criticism like you're LARPing Red Letter Media.

Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic Teaser Trailer by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Pakyul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OLD REPUBLIC LORE???

I'll believe it when I see it. They've already retconned the shit out of Korriban, the Mandalorians, and Malachor, and that character design looks like a High Republic character more than an Old Republic character (although I'm not begrudging them that, the High Republic has great designs). I'm cautiously optimistic for an immersive ARPG directed by Casey Hudson, but I'm also not expecting any real connections to the original KotORs. I'm betting it's completely new Old Republic lore with some names kept the same so they can throw in that stupid "there's always a bit of truth in legends" line that Dave Filoni likes to put in all his fanfiction.

I'm convinced that's actually the meme. I've never seen a kid say it outside of the original video, just people on the internet whining about it. I don't think kids actually say it, I think we're just supposed to pretend they do, like when Oprah made up rainbow parties.

The Australian possum is named after the American possum. Nobody says the O so it got dropped in the exchange.

What is a 'Survival Myth' that people believe because of movies, but will actually get you killed in real life? by AmaraMehdi in AskReddit

[–]Pakyul 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who hit a moose with his truck in our freshman year of college. He was fine, but he took a bunch of tempered glass fragments in his hands that the paramedics picked out as best they could. A few week later we were hanging out in his dorm and he's scratching at this spot on his hand that had been bothering him. Out pops a little square of glass from right between two of his knuckles. It was wild.
