I owned a Xbox branded HDD that stopped working after 60 days. It was exactly 61 days. I had tried to get a refund at Best Buy where I bought it and they refused because their return policy said 60 days.

I simply refuse to purchase a Seagate product ever again.

Wait you had a Pebble 2? Most people never received them because the company went under and canceled orders before they officially got released.

Are you sure you’re not thinking of Steel, Time or Round?

So they are Turkey 2.0.

It is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_partner

You mean a sex surrogate?

EDIT: I can’t seem to find it. I learned about sex surrogacy from an episode of Love and Radio (I can’t remember if it is stylized). The whole episode was an interview with a woman who worked professionally as a surrogate. They dealt with sex therapy as well as helping persons who might have physical disabilities that prevented them from experiencing sex.

So they both wanted to start a race war?

He’s not even hiding it.

I’m sorry, but repeating the words associated with an actual murder, but not saying “I am going to kill you” is a bit of a stretch to claim terrorism.

Here is the definition of domestic terrorism from the FBI’s website: “Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.”

What about this incident is violent?

EDIT: Just to be clear, I am in no way defending these people. I just think the terrorism charge is overdoing it. Sure, a threat, but terrorism?

There there are the kind that are the crime, aka political assassins.

People really hate the Marcos family. When he died (which was in Honolulu, where he was being treated), the government initially didn’t allow his body to be brought to Philippines. It took four years till the next administration before his body was returned.

Still, don’t like that the name is shared.

Fuck Lovecraft.

Anyways, I started reading The Light Fantastic and I spotted a parody called “Necrotelicomnicon” which is described of pages made of lizard skin.

I like to point to Idiocracy (a movie you couldn’t make today but I saw for the first time in 2024; I think it was good) which Crocs are used as shoes for the future because they were not widely available and the costume designer said “There’s no way people will wear them.”

I stand vindicated that Crocs are idiotic.

I once got a wrong text from someone identifying themselves as a person named Sky. I proceeded to try to act like I thought they were Sky Tate from Power Rangers S.P.D.

The whole meme and the title are references to “Sugar We’re Goin Down” by Fall Out Boy.

The chorus: 🎵 We’re going down, down in an earlier round/And sugar, we’re going down swinging/ I’ll be your number one with a bullet/ A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it🎵

I knew one teacher that would drink one Code Red a day.

Another was addicted to Diet Coke. They stopped class to have someone deliver a case of it. They wouldn’t continue the lesson (it was an elementary school class in the computer lab) or let anyone touch the computers while they waited.

Aah… I didn’t notice that. But of course I wanted people to see the name as well.
