It is completely beyond me why anyone buys a $20 social deduction board game that is mechanically identical to the social deduction game you can play with a beat up deck of cards.

The automatic tip options that all restaurants have now seem like a positive change since presumably people's inherent laziness means they're less likely to hit "other" and then type in "0" so a lot of people who wouldn't have tipped anything are now tipping.

But I can't help but suspect there's some other nefarious purpose.

When the options are defaulted to 25%, 30%, and 35% I'm hitting other.

lol I didn't know there was a boardgame equivalent of "why wouldn't you simply download ROMs to a Raspberry Pi?"

I once felt like a hero for tipping 20% all the time at everything. It kinda feels like the way I fell out of love with personal recycling, which I do more and more but know the value just isn't there for the effort. But I love giving 20% card plus extra cash to dudes delivering my late night food. Those guys are the real

Was Fraser's The Mummy 2 bad?

I remember seeing The Mummy in the theater and loving it. Then I remember seeing the sequel and hating it so much. I've only seen either movie once, both in the theater but can't remember why I hated it so much. I know it had a lot to do with the slapstick dumbass cousin(?) character.

2 is a good background movie. You can put it on while you're doing something and every time you look up something entertaining will be happening but not engrossing enough to make yu stop doing your laundry or whatever.

Now The Mummy 3, that one was bad.

Elections are not electoralism. Electoralism implies a belief that the system in which we currently live can be changed, or organised more effectively, via current methods of voting.

English should adopt punctuation at the start of a sentence rather than the end

I say this having read dialogue out loud with one inflection then getting to the end only to find out it should have been a different one. Embarrassing!

I have encountered this in a non-restaurant regular shop and you'd better believe I hit 0 on that loving thing.

It's good that they made many sequels to the Munmy. More good films should be run into the ground. Movie bloatmaxing is good.

I would much rather argue over which fight actually deserved the oscar than which supporting actress did the best job.

Frankly, I don't think there should even be a best supporting actress category. I think all women are leads, and they all deserve to win.

Giving someone the middle finger when you’re angry at them only ever makes you look like an impotent loser.

I’ve been flipped off twice in the past six months and both times I wasn’t insulted, I just thought “wow that guy’s a loser”

True, but when you're driving there aren't many better ways to express your displeasure with other people. Maybe they don't care but at least they are made aware of my impotent loser opinion about them.

I wouldn't go as far to say "gently caress" them, but if a show's/movie's primary appeal is "nostalgia", it's probably not very good. Looking at you, Stranger Things. Also Ready Player One, but that's horrible for so many other reasons than relying on nostalgia for its appeal.
