    Looks like somebody decided to make a sport based on the New Order video:


    And the whole production seems cheesy AF! Like the whole audience is made up of only the other man-slappers.

    TMW you look up Ben Curtis (the 'Dude, you're gettin' a Dell!' guy from the commercials) and learn that he's an actor who starred in various movies and videogames -- was even the voice of the local population in GTA V

    That moment when you're trying to write a song, but it's all coming out in the wrong order and no amount of telling yourself that even the best songwriters don't get everything in the correct order first time every time is helping... so three hours in all you've actually written is the title.

    Bonus point: you've got three titles.

    Tmw you dream a part of one of your stories (it's not even written down, yet) as a music video. And it was beautiful (sigh ;))!

    TMW you're sent a link to a Polish movie and it turns out to have a great story. The follow up was also pretty good.

    I started learning a little Polish during the early lockdowns; I think I'll watch it and see if I can recognize a few words.

    ... you get an email from the bank offering free financial advice and rather than think it’s just an auto-generated circular going out to countless other customers, you immediately assume there’s some accountant watching your spending who thinks, “Geez! This guy’s out of control. We must step in and save him from himself before he ends up penniless!”

    TMW a new Pokémon game actually leaves you intrigued.

    I've never cared for the Pokémon franchise, even when it first started, yet here I am. xD

    TMW you check your Nest (home security camera) neighborhood alerts and see there was a shooting a few blocks away, a porch pirate ripping off amazon packages another few blocks away, a sex offender who moved in a few streets over, several lost cats, several found dogs, and a coyote sighting.

    I'm not sure I want to know about any of this. I guess it's good to know what's good (or not) in the neighborhood, but if technology connects us any closer, I'll be able to taste what half the city had for lunch this afternoon. You know that shit will be coming soon... sensory implants to link the phone direct to the dome.

    Where cushions are comfy, and straps hold firm.
    Since many a 'smart' phone user takes it into the bathroom,
    so...I hope they don't come up with some kind of extra sensory
    to enhance the experience with a phone. :blech:

    TMW I just had to make all that. No, I am not sorry at all. I have zero regrets.
