I know it's exclusively used ironically these days but "serving oval office" is still a very unpleasant phrase and I wish people would stop using it at all.

I hope not :(

Someone else said they thought the triple parentheses was a white supremacist thing. I've been doing it for twenty years, mimicking a style taken from Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

It's meant to represent an echo and I think it's from some Nazi podcast where they put an echo on all Jewish sounding last names.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. One person mentioning it to me seemed like a niche thing, but I guess it's a fuckin thing.

Hope you guys will give me some leniency in my posts as I try to break a decades-long habit because fuckin fascists gently caress

I'm very happy that fast-food places that utilized Freestyle machines are slowly moving back to normal fountain drinks that taste like the real thing and not some weird off brand concoction. If I wanted Caulk-o-Cola, Spit, or Mr. Pube, I'd just go to Dollar Tree and get a 2L not pay $2.39 for a large cup and have them dispensed out of a Coke-branded machine.

"Controllers" should revert to their optimal form; a single joystick, with a hat, four buttons on top, two triggers, little slidey things, and forcefeedback that cause it to fly off your desk despite the rubber suction cups.

Yeah, I like mine, but I get it's mostly an aesthetic thing. Aesthetic isn't the right word here probably.

I don't even dislike membrane keyboards, I just like the mechanical ones more.

I dislike as seeing media being described as “mature” because it never means being actually meant for emotionally mature people, it just means being full of swearing and boobs.

I also hate the term “anime” being used as an adjective because it’s so nebulous what it usually means.

The Man Who Sold The World (the album) is easily one of Bowie's best works and it rarely ever gets its due. I think it gets overshadowed by the "big" names like Ziggy Stardust, Hunky Dory and Aladdin Sane.

I'd even go so far as to say that I think Man Who Sold The World is superior to Ziggy. I've never been able to connect with the themes of Ziggy like I did for MWSTW.

You can literally take a dirt bike anywhere. That's the point.

Beach. Take a dirt bike.

Woods. Take a dirt bike.

Shopping mall. Dirt bike.

Highway. Dirt bike.

Running drugs across the border. Dirt bike.

Delivering pizza. Dirt bike.

There's nothing you can't do on a dirt bike.

Definitely reasonable to get overshadowed by HD and Ziggy coming right after it but it is definitely A-tier.

Agreed. For an album recorded by a guy in the middle stages of cocaine psychosis, it’s a fantastic piece of work.
