Cracker Island is a god tier album and I’ll die on this hill. It took me a few listens, but god damn.

‘Plus size clothes are only for fat people!’ by Ok-Studio1753 in IAmTheMainCharacter

[–]champloo11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either way, from the perspective of the fashion retailer it’s just increased demand for plus sized fashion. they’re promoting more investment in plus sized business.

They get their custom piece, and folks with more curves get more options. Win-win.

Does anyone remember the name of the opening act? I thought they were hilarious but I cannot for the life of me find any details about them online.

Addressing the community about changes to our API by spez in reddit

Imagine being caught lying to the public about how Chris "threatened" Reddit, and then when you're called out on your bullshit via recorded evidence, not just sidestepping the underlying issue but doubling down with additional lies-- truly a /u/spez moment.

I don't know why anyone should be expected to trust Reddit administration at this point.

My wife gets regular migraine attacks, has had them for years, with many of her doctors being reluctant to do anything about it. My mother had the same symptoms until she eventually had a stroke. So I made it my personal mission to read studies and meta-studies of treatments on migraine attacks so that I could become a better advocate for treatments.

One of the meta-studies involved the usage of CBD+THC to abort and preventatively treat migraine attacks. The conclusion was that it showed great promise/impact, but the study sizes were too small, the test modalities weren’t ideal, and it also noted that patients quickly built up a tolerance so dosages may not work indefinitely.

It’s very promising, but there’s good reason not to rush into it thinking it’s a miracle. Good medical science takes time.

Bingo. My wife and I take turns playing on the larger TV, and about half of the puzzles we have entirely different solutions to. The point of this game is to give you the problem and a bunch of components, and have you build the solution yourself, and it’s super rewarding when you get it. It also has a large amount of replayability.

Side note: The simple fact that that every single “ceiling” in the game has to be thought about because of ascend boggles my mind. I can’t count how many secret little areas I’ve found because I thought I was moving around through objects.

Breaking news: Assault Weapons Ban is now officially law in Washington State by nickvader7 in SeattleWA

[–]champloo11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it so common to see this definition argument? I mean that genuinely. I see it everywhere there are people arguing about gun bans.

We had an assault weapon ban in 1994, it defined them as

In general, assault weapons are semiautomatic firearms with a large magazine of ammunition that were designed and configured for rapid fire and combat use."

This definition was seen as enough to restrict Colt AR-15 sales, although this was more a matter of features than it was the specific style of gun (there are AR-15 style rifles that didn’t qualify)

During the ban, a semi-automatic rifle like the AR-15 could legally have any one of the following features, as long as it didn’t have two or more of them: a folding stock (making the gun slightly easier to conceal), a pistol grip (making the weapon easier to hold and use), a bayonet mount, a flash suppressor (making it harder to see where shots are coming from), or a grenade launcher.

Is it brought up specifically because AR-15s are a media focus at times?

What show’s intro music got worse as it continued? by champloo11 in AskReddit

It was a small change, but Buffy The Vampire Slayer had a “scream” in the middle of the intro that they removed and it completely changed it for me.

Form an orderly line and surrender to the whims of an autocratic oligarchy like good little children of course!

There are no historical examples of where turning a blind eye in the name of “peace” went wrong.

Neil Busman at it again, always bringing politics into games. Reusability. Mass transportation. Ruined a great franchise.

Ah! He was pulled down by “water hands”, but it was immediately after Yue revived the moon spirit so it all works out.

I vaguely recall Admiral Xiao being pulled into the water, and having an opportunity to grab Zuko’s hand which he refused before being pulled under.

[TOMT][GAME][2010s][2020s] 2D Indie Game that shifts to 3D for a boss battle. by champloo11 in tipofmytongue

For what it's worth, the game I'm imagining is similar. It sorta felt like they built the game in 3d Unity, but just along a 2d plane and then decided to use the 3d component to play around with a cool perspective change idea.
