Think I spent more time on triple triad than in the game around it.

The board game?

Take a step back and look in the mirror:

I've personally known two people that have died in motorcycle accidents. These were dudes that were pretty safely oriented. Like wore all the gear all the time, rain or shine.

One of them took a spill and his bike pushed his femur through his hip and partly into his torso. He surprisingly lived through that accident. After he recovered he went back to riding as if nothing happened. He was fine for 7 years until he got involved in another accident and didn't get lucky a second time.

If you have people that even remotely depend on you please just think carefully if it's worth the risk. You're actually about 4000% more likely to die on a motorcycle per mile traveled compared to a regular car. I'm not making that number up.

There's a very good reason ER docs call them "donorcycles"

Please tell me you're not still riding one of those death machines.

 

Secretary of education Linda McMahon keeps calling AI, A1.

Only the best people.

McMahon said she’d heard about “a school system that’s going to start making sure that first graders, or even pre-Ks, have A1 teaching in every year,” which she said was a “wonderful thing.”

But the comment wasn’t just an isolated slip of the tongue. McMahon added, “Kids are sponges. They just absorb everything. It wasn’t all that long ago that it was, ‘We’re going to have internet in our schools!’ Now let’s see A1 and how can that be helpful.”

I mean, this is the King. Can you really blame him?

His social credit rating was probably too low from playing MMOs.

Lol that face. It's like he was pulled out of a restaurant in the middle of a succulent Chinese meal.

As much as it enrages me to say so, yes 🤢

I kinda feel the last season of Game of Thrones was so transcendentally bad it tainted my memories of everything good before it. I still can't bring myself to rewatch the first 5 good seasons :<

I mean it was a good year for movies overall

In addition to Shawshank there was Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction it was up against.

The real tragedy was Saving Private Ryan losing it to fucking Shakespeare in Love 🤮
