Historians incorrectly discussing doom scrolling: Here we have a random Internet person discussing the popular method of playing the video game Doom on a PC, which the controls are modified for a scrolling click-wheel on a mouse can perform a rapid-fire shot from a weapon. It was rather unclear what they meant by asking the person reading what someone wanted them to do in replace of this.

Are they gonna feed Brawndo to the AI?

There is a sequence in New Moon that is a time jump of multiple seasons. There a literal like four blank pages that indicate the character, Bella, is in a catatonic-like state. She literally can’t form a response to what was occurring around her. Many readers assume this is a cheap way of doing a time jump but even the movie depicts Bella a catatonic state.

I recall we get a sense of internal monologue but everything coming from Edward’s POV is lacking any depth or emotion. When Bella speaks, it is monotone. If you’ve seen the movies you’d think Kristen Stewart was giving a deflected performance that might suggest some disinterest in the role. Not saying I enjoy the movies or the books (as an adult), but this performance to me is spot on for how Bella is depicted.

EDIT: Unrelated, the cars in the movies are not a product placement. Mayers wrote Edward driving a Volvo.

I don’t recall any suggestion of their intelligence. Just that whenever Edward attempted to “read” her mind, he could never glean a single thought. It was a blank void.

Not just a minor but person who might have a mental disorder/illness. In case you never read Twilight, the vampires have unique abilities, Edward’s being telepathy. When he meets Bella, he is unable to detect any thoughts from her. The entire book Bella is literally described as having no subconscious thoughts.

Lord Zedd is Chrome?

Isn’t there a documentary flat earthers filmed in which they debunked their own beliefs?

THAT’S NOT THE CHARACTER’S NAME YOU WEIRDO TECH BRO!

Yes I am mad at Elon. Blade Runner: The Final Cut is my favorite movie.

I still don’t understand it after all these years.

If they had gotten the same actor who played the college football player, that would have made it better. They made a call back to the sketch in one of the East-West Bowl sketches where a player is named AY AY RON.

Pretty much one of the best sketches they did.

If one of you’ll says some silly ass name, this whole class is gonna feel my wrath.

Please don’t say artisanal. That is a bullshit word. There is such a thing called speciality which is a technical term for coffee that is graded at 80-100 points. If you are using words like artisanal or gourmet, you are not knowable. Those in my opinion are bullshit words that make poor quality coffee sound fancy and super gross.

I only drink speciality.

Back in 2019 during the commodity crisis when the price was below a $1, they pretended to contribute lots of money to helping their farmers. The company publicly announced they were donating money to the farms they owned. That amount based on available financial data suggested that that money was equal to a single afternoon’s profits.

The point here is that Starbucks could have been contributing to the falling price of commodities, which they should have released more current financial data for. More transparency would have given a better idea if they were having a positive or negative impact. What this all boiled down to was simply saying what they paid their farms. If they did that, it would have been better.

No it is not.

Please don’t consume Starbucks. They have a reputation for buying from farms in Brazil and Guatemala that employe slave labor and child labor.

EDIT: Starbucks also abuses the Italian language. None of their drinks are what they claim to be. That mocha you had is too large to be a mocha.

If anyone says aliens, I’m just going to call you speciesist towards your own people.

Tobias Funke would like a word.

Well to my understanding, aren’t tax related things not controlled by them? Does Congress as a whole control those things?

It because D.C. is not a state, and they have no Representative in Congress.
