It’s from /mu/ originally

I saw Keanu Reeves at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I’m not sure the strategy of hiring someone who has personally injected every single drug into his veins at some point in his life to be health chief was ever going to work out.

At least they should give him all the diseases too so we can see if the drugs work!

Her name is Jeanie though, which I’d pronounce differently to Jenny… unless it’s one of those awful new age spellings of a classic name.

Fwiw Jennifer is a fine name and people can figure out the best way to shorten it for their circumstances. Maybe living in a rural community with a lot of donkeys would affect it.

Idk either tbf. Maybe being pessimistic is the smart move here.

I thought he was in his 70s? Maybe you know more about the Brazillian justice system tho.

Yeah my knowledge of strokes is quite limited. I only figured out there were different types, i.e. blood vessels in brain bursting vs blockage in heart stopping blood to brain. There are probably more.

27 years seems pretty lenient given what he was convicted of. I realise that he’ll probably never be free given his age but I don’t think that the defendent’s age should affect the sentence, especially when they still have their supporters like Bolsonaro.

Bell’s Palsy maybe? I don’t think stroke victims are able to pretend they are well while it is in progress.

Technically a lot of the classic curries are british food

Living a healthy lifestyle must give you superhuman abilities to get a good night’s sleep. Can only speculate since I’ve never been in that situation personally.

That makes a lot of sense

I live in a student neighbourhood and when we moved here I thought, “Well my partner and I are still in our 30s and don’t have a family; we’ll be up drinking at the same times the students are.”

I was so wrong. GenZ are strange - they don’t go out like we used to, and instead have early morning alarms for the gym. It’s a coinflip whether the alarm will wake them up though, sometimes their 6AM alarm is going for several hours and others you hear them get up.

Could be worse I guess but now I feel bad having my lame middle aged friends back to the flat after the pubs close.

There is a weird inverse relationship between how long audiences will wait to give a show a chance, and how long execs (specifically Netflix) will give the show.

I think there must be more to the Netflix example. Maybe they are monitoring other data points like web searches or show mentions on fora to quantify buzz and work out if the show has hit potential with target markets. Either that or they get some new opportunity for creative accounting with each show.

Even ATCQ have the unfortunate Georgie Porgie in their back catalogue

200 IQ child thief

Disappointing but he won’t be the last rapper who expresses conservative views. Rap as a genre tends towards having materialistic and conservative lyrics so maybe we shouldn’t be surprised.

You’ve still got Metroid Prime 4 on switch to look forward to

There are still great games coming out on OG Switch. The Hundred Line and SMT: Raidou are two recent highlights.

Honestly the Switch 2 is still a pretty bad value proposition for most people (unless you really love Donkey Kong like me).

Seriously, what’s with posters these days! I used to smoke 20 pans a day in the 90s
