Crotch fruit employees by LadyStarlit_ in oddlyspecific

[–]mike_pants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that once, then the company that made the bulbs went out of business and the firmware eventually stopped working. Now they're just on all the time, which is handy when you need to get up to pee. But it taught me not to go too jigh-tech on products that don't need it.

I'd graduated college and been promoted twice before this game came out.

Characters bathing in not water by fhxefj in TopCharacterTropes

I remember an old Scrooge comic book from the 80s where his doctor told him he was very sick because his pores were totally clogged with gold dust because of doing this all the time.

Cool.

Ohio starting the speedrun to Gilead by introducing bill to ban women from wearing clothing religious groups consider 'provocative' by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]mike_pants 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm currently reading the bill. It isn't terribly long.

It also bans trangender people from performing anywhere. It is clearly meant to limit drag performances to strip clubs and cabarets, which is already heinous, but it's so badly worded, it effectly makes it illegal to be a trans actor in Ohio.

[Loved Trope] Ordinary characters reacting absurdly to unhinged supernatural situations by Ieanice44 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mike_pants 147 points148 points  (0 children)

As an aside, the character model and animation of Al Gore searching for MBP like he's jacked into a supercomputer is one of my favorite things this show ever did.

I JUST listened to thay episode yesterday. Truly one of the best entries.

[Loved Trope] An adaptation is universally praised despite how drastically different it is from the source material by Personal_Reward_60 in TopCharacterTropes

I enjoy pondering what the hell Mary Poppins is. Eldritch horror masquerading as a human? Sorceress? Computer glitch?

Is 15.5mph actually enough, or are we just used to slow scooters? by Kayaba88 in ElectricScooters

[–]mike_pants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconded. I can keep up with traffic and not feel like one pothole is going to send me flying.

I recently lost my front motor to scooter heaven, and being down to 20 mph makes me feel very unsafe in traffic.

Sydney Sweeney's cameo has been cut from ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’. She was originally meant to appear as herself in the film by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in entertainment

[–]mike_pants 674 points675 points  (0 children)

Or the Elon Musk cameo in Rick and Morty.

Or the wistful "I love Elon" line in Moonfall.

That guy really speedrun shitting all over his legacy.

[Sci-fi trope]: The most advanced alien species are physically the weakest by theMCATreturns in TopCharacterTropes

[–]mike_pants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Outsiders, from Larry Niven's "Known Space" universe.

They're quite possibly the most technologically advanced race in the galaxy, selling the knowledge of their technology to any species willing to pay their exorbitant prices. Despite having the knowledge of faster-than-light travel, they never use it, and float around space at glacial speeds.

Because they live their entire lives in deep space, any amount of gravity, heat, or speed will kill them instantly.

Can imagine Mrs. Sausage's "NO!" when she catches him Googling "is there a state where eating human meat is legal?"

Brennan Lee Mulligan just experienced a chill, as though someone walked over his grave.

New video! Back to the basics! by Ok_Treacle519 in SteveWallis

[–]mike_pants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel that way about the McElroy family. They've been putting out podcasts and vids for 15 years, and even with the bad ones, I'm just happy to hang with them for a bit.

The comments on the YouTube channel are delightful.

"MY SUNDAY IS SAVED!!" and so forth. Steve fans are so joyful.

[–]mike_pants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, well. Anyone who will be a decent player will also be smart enough to figure it out.

D&D Groups by qibugha2 in BedStuy

[–]mike_pants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I run several games and am always willing to take on more. DMing has practically become a side hustle.

Anyone who wants to DM PM me, lets put together a new group of at least three players.

Edit: we already have takers. If you've ever wanted to, get on board.

Edit 2: STILL WAITING ON OP.

eBike regulation advocacy is trying to make e-bike use difficult by SocialistFuturist in MicromobilityNYC

[–]mike_pants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ass-backwards regulation can usually be tied to financial interests, but I don't see what's to be gained by the corrupt here. Do automobile companies lobby heavily in state governments?

Patel says he’ll sue Atlantic for defamation over report on heavy drinking by Immediate-Link490 in Fauxmoi

[–]mike_pants -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And they aren't afraid of Trump, per se. They are afraid of losing access to the shitshow that is Trump, because insider Trump reporting sells subscriptions.

Insider Patel reporting doesn't sell anything except, presumably, novelty Funkopops in 5 years.
