Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.

Why do people want to go eat at the tire restaurants anyway?

In case this wasn't joke: the whole point of the guide was to sell more cars and hence more tires by telling people all the great places they could go if they had a car. The idea was a 1-star rating meant it was worth stopping at on your way, 2 stars meant the place was going out of your way for, and three stars meant it was worth a trip specifically to go there.

There's so much stuff to watch on Crunchyroll if you like anime that it's like the easiest subscription to justify to yourself ever.

The path of tranquility: learn to love romance animes, watch them with her
The path of chaos: read the mangas they were adapted from and carefully nitpick every place where the anime adaptation changed something for the worse
The path of "why are you coming to PYF for relationship advice": find something you enjoy that she doesn't and do that while she's watching her animes

Halo Infinite released a free nameplate this afternoon in celebration of Juneteenth. The name for the color palette for that nameplate was certainly a choice.



The color palette's name has since been updated to "Freedom." No word on it from the devs yet.

EDIT: Dev tweet.

So uh, why was the internal name that anyway? OK calling it Nameplate_Palette_69 would be inconvenient but uh, why not something not explicitly uhhhh that Nameplate_Juneteenth_22 there, done

As the games take place in Africa when on Earth, all of the Spartan-side vehicles, paint jobs, you name it are named after African mammals. Warthog and the Mongoose probably the two most well known. But there's also the Sandcat, Jackrabbit, the list goes on. Presumably they just name the paint schemes and stuff the name of the animal even internally so they can publish it on any day they want to... and have just learned the reason not to schedule things that way and that your idea is much better.

Oh that does make sense, although again, maybe call it Giraffe or something? I'm sure there's African mammals which wouldn't have that immediate connotation.

Bonobos are neat and in a vacuum there's nothing wrong with naming stuff after them. Naming some special celebratory Juneteenth thing after them is obviously pretty hosed up, though.

quote:

LENEXA, KAN. — Hostess Brands, Inc. is launching a limited-edition snack called $TWINKcoin under its Twinkies snack cake brand. The new $TWINKcoin is a play on the current cryptocurrency frenzy and features coin-shaped cakes.

The cakes are similar to Twinkies in composition and flavor — featuring a vanilla sponge cake exterior and crème-filled interior — but have been made in a disc shape to mimic the shape of an enlarged coin.

The new $TWINKcoin snack cakes will be available at Walmart stores starting at the end of June for a limited time. They are distributed in boxes of 10 individually wrapped cakes at the suggested retail price of $3.49.

Questionable name aside, at least it's an actual product and not an NFT like I thought it was going to be.

- it is a real product, not an nft
- it has absolutely nothing to actually do with cryptocurrency which makes the name a bit cheeky

this leads me to believe they have self-awareness and a sense of humor, so i think they are well aware of what they're doing. good marketing imo

I'm here to spoil the fun! It's an infamous shock image, a picture of a woman's cooch and she has...some kind of condition, possibly an STD, that is giving her genitals a heavy blue tinge.

Fun fact: there's also a penis version, called SpecialFriedRice.
