(I am fine, it was not much. Developed hemroids thanks to surgical complications and sometimes they get bitchy)

A toilet can have little a blood, as a treat.

*gets up*
*looks at snow and forecast*
*preemptively declares telework and goes back to bed til work time*

If they don't like it oh well :P The office is open / closed message says open with no delay unlike yesterday when the roads were worse. Silly as we got a bunch overnight onto refreezing ice..

@Phorm @anthracite same!

Reminded this morning of that aesthetic where characters put a CD *in it's case* into a disk drive like that just...how they work!

It was bizarrely common for a while.

@orrery If it's not a single statement, bits can be broken out and responded to. The thing I have issue is this:

"Hey, this part of the video makes you look like an asshole."
"Well, watch the whole two hours and I don't"

There's...not a good way to respond to that in a useful fashion?

This is fine, by contrast

""Hey, this part of the video makes you look like an asshole."
"Watch the section before and after, I was taking both sides / quoting something / setting up something to condemn it"
or
"Watch the section before and after where I explain that better"

This can be worked with. The first is the kind of strategy I see out of jackasses. 9/10 "but the context" has no context, it's just stalling.

@orrery

Accuracy over brevity is fine. But two hours is far too much to evaluate as a single statement. That's not accuracy that's dissembling.

So what I see is fillibuster and gish gallop. Nothing can be responded to because "context" would surely prove otherwise, regardless of the video's context or content.

Therefore the speaker can never be proven wrong.

@orrery @orrery That's a refrain I hear from a lot of assholes, so I'm not sure I find it particularly persuasive? Especially given the selection bias there.

"You didn't listen to this entire two hour ramble" isn't much of a defense to "Hey this part makes you look like an ass." If there's actual context, it's better to just supply it. (see: the latest Biden thing when you just have to put the surrounding paragraph or two into place).

(now from the right account)

@Phorm Ah good the genie control panel still works

That moment when it looks like the dog is howling but no it's just a very loud very lazy yawn.

Also someone introduced my dragon to fire poi, and I think I may have to buy some nomex :P

Hello 2020!

I want to time travel back, find the person who invented means testing, and bury them alive in forms.

"Eat your food Shinji" #outofcontexttheater

@kauko looks about right to me

@balloonpup So all the presents are just black plushies, right? totally safe? ;)

And now fireworks at 2am. o.O

Also as a capstone film Endgame does it a lot better.

I'd give it a B, maybe a C+. It makes the pattern from the original trilogy fit (first is good, second is very good third is mostly good but flawed)

Very rushed at times, certain things didn't feel earned because of that. They fucked up in *exactly* the way I expected but then mostly made it ok.

Overall if Carrie Fisher was alive I think the movie would have been very different and much stronger.
