    One could argue that so many people say it’s underrated that it’s become rated in time

    Yes! This is hilariously accurate. He’s very unconventional in many ways and that makes him even more interesting.

    Thanks for clearing that up. Haven’t thought of that angle. Of course it makes sense

    Anyone know what that means? Did they just say fuck it just release what you have we don’t care?

    No ransom was paid after the unnamed company "evicted" the hackers, the DoJ said.

    I don’t have any grandparents left and it’s somehow uncomfortable to ask my mother directly about hers. Not that it’s taboo or something awful happened it’s just…awkward in a way. My dad is dead and he was easier to talk to about old times because it just came naturally.

    Sure you could argue that combining T9 with a general scaling back on screen time could make some sense but saying it’s better than now is sentimentality to me.

    These ghouls have been coming for our children for years without any concerns. One of the worst threats to any parent. Fines are not enough. They need to be punished severely and never trusted again.

    I had a setback with my lower back a week ago and haven’t been able to do my 5 Tibetans yoga rutine until today and it’s been hard. I’ve been trouble free for half a year since beginning the rutine and it was really demotivating crashing again. But at least it seems like the recovery time is vastly better this time.

    Watching Breaking Bad with my son (my third time his first) and it’s just so fucking good. And difficult. We’re at the end of season 2.
    God dammit the lying and gaslighting Walt is doing is really getting to me this time around. As someone who’s done my share of lying and the more popular omission of truth in my life it gets me hard now and suddenly seeing it from the perspective of the people around him is just devastating. It is really true what people say that every time you rewatch this show the sadder and harder it gets. But what a privileged watching it with my son and experiencing his reactions.

    The Pitt isn't as intense and enjoyable with subtitles and another person who doesn't speak English natively and thus doesn't understand everything medically.

    I mean subtitles or not the lingo is hard to follow if you’re not in the field so that seems a bit harsh. I think the “spoiler effect” of showing what they say a millisecond beforehand is reasonable critique against subtitles though.

    I sadly stand corrected then. Just the fact that you repeatedly inhale something unnatural into your lungs should be a dead giveaway but here we apparently are.
