When I was younger, sure. It wouldn't be uncommon for me to polish off ab entire 2 liter and a single bag of chips or a whole pizza in one Saturday night of gaming.

Now? God no. One can and I'm done.

I highly doubt Bass is telling the whole story here. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual scenerio went something like this:

*Kid drops popcorn*
Wife: Stewardess! My kid spilled her popcorn, we need it swept up!
Flight attendant: We'll clean it up with the rest of the plane after disembarking ma'am.
Wife: But I don't wanna sit here with popcorn at my feet!
Flight attendent: Ma'am, we can't have you standing up and moving around while the plane is in the air, and we can't sweep while you can your kids are sitting there. You can pick it up yourself if you want, otherwise you'll have to wait until after we land.
Wife: *huffs* Fine, then I will do it myself!
Idiot pitcher: *throws temper tantrum on Twitter*

If you're going to use capital punishment there's few crimes more deserving of it than raping a child, but...

Yeah. This.

Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story are the only two worth playing. You can safely ignore the existence of the other three.

My phone isn't thinking, or self aware of its existence or have free will.

Obi-Wan literally says in AotC, "If droids could think, there'd be none of us here.", implying that a droid's sentience and thought-process is still limited to it's programming to some extent.

That said R2-D2 and C-3PO clearly "think" on their own several times throughout the series and 3PO in particular is repeatedly afraid of his own destruction or deactivation which is usually a key trait of full AIs (pretty much every organic vs AI story in fiction starts with the AIs developing a fear of organic beings shutting them down), so they're either extremely hyperadvanced droids (which considering one is a run-of-the-mill astromech droid and the other was literally built by a child slave in his free time, I sincerely doubt) or Lucas simply never fully thought through what a "droid" actually is.

Hawaii and New Hamshire too. Possibly Delware as well, I can't tell if that one near it's tip is actually in Delaware or is Pennsylvania or New Jersey.

I just went from Win7 to Win10 like last year lol

I just built a new PC with Win 11 in January, I was still using 7 up until that point.

I played and loved the first three games but I had heard the 4th one was really bad so I never played it, and then I didn't even know there was two more until years later so I never played them at all.

So I'm quite looking forward to replaying the first three for the first time in like 15 years and then experiencing 4, 5 and 6 for the first time.

A fifth of a gallon, which is the rough US conversion of a typical 750 ml bottle.

Skipping through his last few efforts, they have scored very poorly. Nothing he did in 2022 scored above 5 out of 10, with most in the high 3's and low 4's.

Almost everything he's done in the last 3 years were low budget Direct-to-DVD/Streaming movies that spent nearly the entirety of the budgets that they had on him. A 5 would be a high rating for movies like that.

Like Corrective Measures which was a "Tubi Original Movie". I didn't even know that was a thing until right now. How much money could Tubi be possibly pouring into original productions? Especially after paying whatever Bruce wanted for his 2 days of filming?

I highly doubt they try to actually do anything with the stock they own besides make money with it. These moves honestly feel like them trying to insulate themselves from the future (being an oil rich country and all)

This is exactly what it is. The Saudi's aren't stupid. They can see that the era of oil is coming to an end, and something like 80% of their current economy is linked to oil. If they just sit on their hands and do nothing then when that bubble bursts their economy will collapse and the royal family's lavish lifestyle will disappear. So instead they're trying to get ahead of the game now by investing their money in businesses and technologies that will still exist in 100 years when oil no longer does.

Originally the movie was to be called "Licence Revoked", but American test audiences were confused because they associated the term with the DMV, which is not featured anywhere in the film.

No, seriously.

The Remaster is based on the Trilogy version. It has the Fission Metroids in the Phazon Mines that were not present in the NTSC GC version. It also has all the glitch fixes that the Trilogy version had. So I'd assume it also has this lore fix as well.

The Disney+ version of A New Hope for whatever reason adds a shot of Greedo saying it right before Han shoots him.

Tesla's are bad but still fairly uncommon where I am. Mercedes-Benz is still the cream of the crop for awful "the world revolves around me" style drivers.

I'm pretty sure I remember getting a 3KL once, but I can't remember what for.

Otherwise I've had a few NKLs and all have been for really stupid stuff like quoting other modded posts or my personal favourite: "spoilers" for mentioning the name of the optional boss in SMRPG in like 2015 nearly two decades after the game came out.

A 64-square-foot Pallet shelter starts at $4,900.
But external costs such as sewage, electricity, and internet bumped the cost of each bed at the Alexandria Park location up to about $43,000.

So wait, that's the cost to the company running this thing right? They're not actually charging people $43,000 for what is essentially a tool shed with a bed in it.

Person of the Year does not necessarily mean they are a positive force in the world

This. There's been several Persons of the Year who have been generally regarded as bad people. Hitler being the obvious one. But also Stalin, Putin, The Ayatollah, Trump, both Bushes, Reagan, Nixon, 3 Popes, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Ted Turner. Hell, even Newt Gingrich was Person of the Year once.

But of course this is Elon Musk we're talking about and I'm sure his tiny mind is incapable of the higher thought needed to realize that the most important person in any given year does not necessarily have to be so for good reasons.

A medium? Easy. Done that multiple times.

did they think our entire military was comprised of white males or

Yes. To a lot of people "military" means "tough" and they probably picture all soldiers looking like Stallone or Schwarzenegger clones. The idea that the average soldier looks just like the millennials that line up at Starbucks for pumpkin spice lattes while playing on their iPhones that they always complain about would completely befuddle them because those type of people aren't "tough".

I've only seen TNG and DS9.

TNG: The one where Dr. Crusher inherits her grandmas house and falls in love with a ghost whom her grandma was also sleeping with. Like even if you've never seen an episode of TNG you can just read that plot synopsis and go "Yep, that's got to be the worst episode of the series".

DS9: My first thought was that awful board game episode from the first season but...

the one where Qwark got a temporary sex change

...that. Definitely that.

-11C, with a wind chill of -29C. I can't remember the last time it was this cold. Probably that polar vortex year which was...2014?

Dumb question: Has Kurtwood Smith been in anything bad?

Under Siege 2. Which unlike the first one was just a by-the-book terrible Steven Seagal movie.

Women were banned from education before we went in. It shouldnt be a surprise its returned to that now weve left. You cant force a cultural shift like that. Especially in only two decades. Its multi generational.

The push for women's rights in Afghanistan started in the 1920s and in 1964 women were granted full equal rights in the constitution which lasted until the first Taliban takeover in 1996. It's not like women were denied education, segregated in society, and forced to wear full body coverings for centuries all the way up until the US kicked out the Taliban in 2001.

Kingdra wasn't in gen 1.
There were better ways to deal with dragon by then.

Not really. Water/Dragon only had a weekness to Dragon until Fairy was introduced, and Gen 2 only had three damage dealing Dragon moves (not counting Dragon Rage); Twister, Dragonbreath and Outrage; all of which had poor distribution

I've never been much of a fan of their roast beef, but their turkey club sandwich is a top tier fast food sandwich and their curly fries are probably the best of all the fast food fries.

1 Double Cheeseburger, 2 Jr. Chickens, and a habanero dipping sauce to put on the Jr. Chickens.

Depends on the type of sandwich or burger. Some things are complimented by pickles and some things are ruined by them.

I've literally been on a highway with a 120 kph speed limit before, so no.

From my experience those who find draws "anticlimactic" generally lack an understanding and/or appreciation for the game outside of goals. Not a single English fan would tell you they deserved to win.

Draws being "anticlimactic" and otherwise unacceptable is a very American (and to a lesser extent, Canadian) mindset.

For example, MLB plays extra innings until there's a winner in every game. Hell, there have been games that went so long they suspended play for the night and resumed the next day rather than just calling it a draw. However in Japan and Korea's baseball leagues there's a 12 inning maximum. If it's still tied at the end of 12 innings, it's a draw.

And if you look at sports common outside of North America but rare here, such as cricket, ties are usually seen as fair and acceptable outcomes unless it's like a single-elimination tournament where a winner obviously is required.

Our boys ice hockey team won the city championship every year I was there and went on to win the provincial championship once as well.

And if you want to call it a "championship" our cheerleading team won some apparently big national competition in my senior year.

Mass killings really aren't an issue in Canada.
Guns (particularly handguns) are already heavily restricted.

This won't affect much.

It'll also almost certainly be repealed the minute Conservatives win a federal majority again just like what happened with the Long Gun Registry.

Either Doom 64, Quake 64 or Turok. I know I played them all around the same time but I don't know which was actually first.

Dangerous? How?

South Korea is not in any current wars. I doubt there's that much action to be had.

Even if they're not actively engaged in warfare, being assigned as a guard at the DMZ or on a submarine patrolling the Sea of Japan in certainly more dangerous than being an office clerk at one of the military academies. And I'm sure all 7 will be given assignments like the latter and not the former.

Pro tip. If you ever end up in Quebec or France, dont turn right on red unless you want an angry French police officer to flip their shit on you and give you a bunch of arbitrary fines.

Actually you can turn right on red in almost all of Quebec now too. Montreal Island is the only holdout where it's still illegal.

We only have one McDonalds with the double speaker thing like this and there's no way to form two lines at it. The medians in the parking lot funnel the cars into a single file line until you get to the speakers where it finally branches off, so doing what TC is suggesting is the only way it works.
