I go by a single-letter name, and I'd like my Facebook to reflect that, but single-letter names aren't permissible on FB unless it's on your driver's license or some poo poo. You also can't use any punctuation or special characters. Is there some kind of workaround for this? And why the Zuck gotta be so fuckin lame? (I know why, it's because FB is an info vampire and they need actionable intel). Legally change your name so that it's on your driver's license.

UGK single-handedly saved Texas. Fun fact: Diamonds and Wood is probably the song I've listened to the most in my lifetime. Also, Z-RO's Mo City Don (Freestyle) is like the unofficial anthem of Houston, which makes that city better than most cities.

Snak posted:My rice cooker used to make perfect rice every time. Then my fuckin moron roommate threw out the measuring cup that came with it and now it's basically worthless. I can never get the measurement right. I have a cheap $14 Black and Decker rice cooker I've had for ten years. I've cooked rice, quinoa, grits, oatmeal, and even pasta with it. Don't even bother with measurements - just use the same cup/scoop/thing for the water and put just under twice as much as the dry. Mine has a plastic basket to go on top, so I can put in some broccoli to go with some rice or quinoa.

Looking forward to seeing Darnielle at Targets this week. The guy's music communicates to the more difficult, eccentric parts of my brain in a way that isn't totally healthy (I find it kind of agitating and triggering even) but is really powerful regardless. I'd like to read his first novel soon.

Way to go homie, enjoy child. I'm getting another one, first one is turning out ok so. The problem for the GOP is that the the market exchange WAS their plan, Obamacare was a fiddled with rehash of a Heritage Foundation plan mooted by pre Stagflation Nixon 50 years ago. And their insurance and pharma backers are insanely pissed about losing the mother of all government supplements. They painted themselves into a corner.

This was something she could do while she was alive. She could cast images into things. Possible even people (I think she caused nightmares). But now she's a ghost, so these images are haunted by her and allow her to manifest. It's not really that dumb, and I think it is kind of a cool twist on traditional haunting mechanics.

It has literally been over a decade since I watched anything Ring related, but the haunted tape and the image of Sadako/Samara crawling out of a well are two separate, distinct aspects of the haunting - the haunted video that plants the curse in you is the result of someone building a house over sadako's death site and the ghost haunting the poo poo out of a VHS recorder, and isn't actually a depictional video so much as a montage of freaky poo poo. Samara/Sadako crawling out of a TV and glaring you to death is what happens seven days later when the curse has matured and the ghost can physically manifest in your presence.

Egbert Souse posted:Alright, that makes sense. It's like, the images are a manifestation of her suffering, and she she can transmit them into various media. And when a person sees them, those images are now in that person's mind. Which gives Samara a link to that person and allows her to haunt them. It's a mimetic, psychic malware. I really like the idea that a series of images can "infect" a person. And a deeply disturbed psychic has created a series of images that functions as a rootkit to other people's perception of reality. It's basically the opposite of that terrible movie "One Missed Call" that was one of many imitators of the The Ring. The premise of that movie is that, for some reason, the ghost leaves you a voicemail. Your phone never actually rings, because it's a ghost call, but a missed call and a voicemail appear. And once you* listen to this voicemail, the ghost kills you. *It turns out it doesn't matter who listens to it. The script says the ghost works one way, but let me break down how this ghost works according to the actual events of the film: The missed call part is accurate. That happens. But you don't have to hear it. One of things that happens in the movie is that someone's phone is in police evidence, and someone else listens to it. Then the ghost goes to the phone owner and kills them. But it gets better: The ghost actually has now limitations of power. Sometime it manifests as, like, a fuckin ghost you can see and tries to stab you with a ghost-knife. But other times, it can actually just final destination people: One character is killed when a freak accident at a nearby construction site launched a piece of rebar into his chest from a hundred feet away. So the ghost doesn't have to call you, you don't have to hear the message, and then you just end up dying somehow. While I might have accidentally made it sound good, it's loving terrible boring, because there's nothing to understand or figure out. It's a textbook haunting story, with a bunch of scenes designed to ape the feel of The Grudge and Final Destination and a gimmick like The Ring, but none of it fuckin works at all. And this is an actual scene that happens in the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dummM9M_0Qc Skip to like 1:20 if you don't want to be bored out of your mind for... well 1 minute and 20 seconds.
