Everyone loves a buffet!
Prove it, show us the Rizz!
I’m absolutely not denigrating Pratchett or calling him boring. I sincerely think he’s great. I just think those other books are pretty great too. They’re all really interesting reads. I don’t mind reading disturbing material though, my first grown-up novel was The Shining swiped from my dad’s bookshelf.😅
Terry Pratchett is great and all, but don’t you have any interest in learning new things? The Jungle is essentially journalism, it exposed real shit that was happening in our own country… and being fed to us. It changed minds. It basically led to the creation of the food and drug administration. It saved lives. That’s a powerful work of art. Revulsion is the intended response. It’s kind of a horror novel.
The other books you listed…. How about wonder? Hope? Fear? Fascination? Dread? Excitement? At least they make you feel something. Boredom is what kills love for reading in my experience. None of the books you listed are boring.
Those books are all fucking awesome.
156 movies!? That’s like 3 per year since the ‘70s! That motherfucker works hard.
Would he have been cast for his Marvel role if he never said “motherfucker” in previous iconic roles? It’s impossible to detangle the impact of motherfucker from his success. If we could quantify the value of every word prior to his first on-screen motherfucker, and compare with his post-motherfucker value-per-word that might help support the hypothesis that motherfuckers are worth more.
I think your great grandfather might have killed mine. I’m totally OK with this.
I vote vanilla extract.
Every time you hear a buzzing in your ear, or see an eerie glow emanating from the woods, it would help you remember that you need to pick up butter at the store! That’s marketing.
I love the land o’ lakes mothsquitoman!
Mmmm fizzy beef wine!
How many times have you repeated this process? Why was one flayed dick not enough?
It’s not making fun of suicide. It’s not glorifying it or making it seem like a good thing. It’s poking fun at Guy Feieri, and how he loves flavor so much he’d season a bullet even in the depths of despair. Taking suicide seriously is a prerequisite to enjoying the joke.
Being exposed to triggering material sucks, and I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you can get to a place where you’re comfortable engaging with humor around this topic some day!
Microsoft shall be owned by all!
Dammit, now I’m craving seven corndogs!
You’ve never met a woman. Unsurprising, and probably for the best.
The part supplier is the issue, the airlines weren’t aware they were being sold counterfeit parts. Chances are that many airlines, including small ones, purchased parts from this supplier. I’d be more likely to trust an airline that found these counterfeit parts than one who didn’t, it means they have a good maintenance / inspection system.
Hmm, space is a little different because so many products are one-offs. It’s hard to design checklists and detailed procedures when you’re making what are essentially prototypes each time. So you make more general processes and then your engineers apply them as needed to each unique build. It can end up looking like a bit of a mess. Space builds rely a lot on expert techs, good modular documentation, and multiple layers of engineering oversight because things change along the way and you can’t always plan for it.
I’m a process engineer at a different aerospace company. I standardize as much as I can and work hard to make instructions clear but man it’s a struggle. Boeing’s space group needs to pay people enough to retain good talent, because they’re all making decisions all day long.
