Good thing you didn’t silently laugh externally

I used to run a comedy show during this era.

We straight up kicked those fucks out

No, have one now.

Just fish and cats are two separate categories in my head that didn’t connect.

I also thought it might have meant the social media term for catfish or something.

I think a good contrast to this is when my dad saved a goose he accidentally snared in his fishing line. If flew straight across mid-cast.

He had to reel it in while it honked and freaked out and and tried to bite him but after that, they were pals.

Brought its goslings to see him on subsequent visits and everything.

It’s a little opaque but he’s doing a black power salute to the black dude because he has black lung.

Do you think billionaires operate in a moral fashion? That their journey was one paved to the top by the ethical treatment of others?

Perhaps we need a new morality because I find that operating inside of prescribed moral bounds is shooting yourself in the foot when making this particular kind of argument.

You operate morally, they use every dirty trick in the book, including killing you.

In prison!

Such an incredible line.

I understand how, in retrospect, it may feel like it isn’t groundbreaking, but do consider that before Die Hard, there really wasn’t anything quite like it.

A quote straight from Wikipedia:

It is considered to have revitalized the action genre, largely due to its depiction of McClane as a vulnerable and fallible protagonist, in contrast to the muscle-bound and invincible heroes of other films of the period.

While it did sort of fall apart and away from what made it great in the later sequels, I think it’s important to put the film into the context of when it was released and what it did to the genre.

All that to say, Die Hard fucking rules.

I read that three times and still feel like I’m having a stroke.

1000%.

I’ve noticed across platforms, posts, texts, etc.

My guess is that there’s been a slow infiltration of “AI powered” autocorrect across the industry.

Other than that, I don’t really have a good answer to the broad, sweeping degradation of autocorrect.

But you’re definitely not the only one.

I personally resigned from a subreddit I founded and moderated for 11 years. Had nearly 300k subscribers but enough is enough.

Reddit isn’t like it was when I started using it 17 years ago and it’s not going back.

Fuck Spez.

Feels like Reddit way back in the day, honestly.

I’m talking like 17 years ago way back.

Loving it! So much fun, silly content!
