Who is the offspring of the Nameless Mist. Who is the offspring of Azathoth, the blind idiot. If Azathoth wakes up we’re all fucking goners.

It’s a hierarchy of horrors starting with Boo from Mario Bros, on through The Grinch and Cthulhu, and topped off by Azathoth.

Yep. She’s not publicly eating babies and being carried on a palanquin by the poors. She ain’t good, but her badness is orders of magnitude below some of the mustache twirling villains out here tying people to railroad tracks.

Many vulnerable people, morons, and heavy ketamine users already think it.

To add to your point, Xiaohongshu has plenty of people on it who aren’t Chinese as well. Loads. It’s not like they’re in cultural blackout.

Mongo is appalled.

I’m already a cowboy skeleton, just with a few extra layers.

I have a memory foam Texas King. It only remembers the Alamo.

I never saw Chip, Dale, Monterey Jack, Gadget, or Zipper dressed like that.

It’s a formal occasion so loincloths, French cuffs (not the shirt, just the cuffs), and bowties. And formal sandals.

The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

Walk nothing. I’ll be on a palanquin carried by my groomsmen.

Or we can all just assume that since Steam hasn’t released the price these guys are just misleading people for views and put them on our permanently do not watch list. Couple that with someone being smarmy about the content rather than talking to people and it seems like something I wouldn’t personally enjoy.

That looks really cool! I’ll likely pick up a couple of the new controllers, but I’ve currently got a few mini PCs scattered around the house for gaming so I won’t need a steam machine until one of these craps out on me. But I’m very excited for the folks who will be able to get and enjoy it!

Are you saying I can’t wear fleece lined tights?

If you want to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe.

That last sentence is the one. Until someone comes out with a study we’re not going to know because what we see is informed by where we choose to go. I’m not generally in places where you can buy fancy coffee so I don’t see it, but I sure hear about it. If we’re only going by what I see then hardly anyone drinks coffee and people order green tea shots at an alarming rate.

You’re definitely not wrong there. There’s good coffee here but you’ve got to go out of your way to get it. I’ll have it from time to time, but I’m not a huge coffee drinker. I’m an unsweet tea guy. You know, or bourbon. I was inoculated by institutional government coffee years ago so nothing phases me.

Is it? I’m not the one downvoting here, I’m just not convinced. There’s still a lot of folks drinking drip coffee at home or at greasy spoon joints every day. Starbucks and the like is loudly popular but tons of folks still use the old drip machines or (ugh) cup/pod systems.

I’ve got a stack of old 14.4 modems I’ll sell them if they’ll grift on that for a bit.

That definitely became a thing. They think if you have an older car it means you won’t have insurance so they’ll be able to ticket you. Drug dealers around here used to ride in hoopties (the assumption at the time was that cops wouldn’t stop them because they knew they didn’t have any money) which probably doesn’t help the perception of older cars. They moved on a while back to newer and more invisible cars like slightly used SUVs.

For a while the number of white cars on the road was like 1/3 (the greatest number), black cars made up about 1/5, and red was 5%. But red cars were pulled over the second most.
