Congratulations on having a normal sized head. NONE of their eyeglasses are big enough to fit around my melon. And no, it's not fat getting in the way, just my skull. Tall people have large skulls, go figure. You'd think that an online store would be able to stock more variety in sizing. Overall, I wanted to like them, but I cannot where anything they sell except sunglasses, which oddly enough come in larger sizes. At least the optometrist can put regular lens in sunglasses frames to accommodate my apparently freakish proportions, but neither Zenni nor that other one will.

Use it. It's a word. Stop being a fucking troll.

New words are still real words, even if you can't find it in an internet search. Don't lie to me and tell me you didn't immediately understand that word without needing the definition (because it's just such a damn near universal feeling, not every concept has a word YET in English, wild I know). That immediate reaction to a group of letters seems more real to me than your research skills. Words are more than artefacts to dig up and analyze. A fucking wild amount of our English language is informed by some playwright(s?) just making up words and phrases. Words are magic and this is a hill I will die on.

Lol, "not a real word"? They are right there in front of you in print with a definition and being used. That's literally all it takes to be a real word.

You, your grade school vocabulary, and your abridged dictionary aren't gatekeepers of the lexicon. Dictionaries describe the words people use. Dictionaries absolutely do not prescribe what are real words and which are made up, unless you're French (but even that is a lie). ALL WORDS ARE MADE UP.

Not a real word? Fucking hilarious.

If they were really interested in fair competition, they'd have everyone compete in the nude as the greek Gods intended.

They're not exactly high tech, but my wool blend socks have treated my feet just fine through many hot and often wet miles of wear. They're pretty frictionless inside my boot, they keep my feet from feeling wet even when soaked with sweat, and I don't think I've gotten a single blister since I made the switch. And only because you asked "where do I buy?", the Kirkland brand wool blend ones are my favorite.

Yes, and you'd open that flap downwards I presume because it's generally safer to let gravity pull your vinyl out of the sleeve than reaching your dirty hands in there to distort the package and dirty up the vinyl.

I mean come on. Are you fucking with me? Wikipedia, Musicbrainz.org, Discord, and allmusic.com all have the mountain at the bottom.

It's the gritty psychedelic dystopian cyberpunk movie we didn't deserve. Nintendo had no idea how to produce a movie and just let them run fucking wild. Hollywood should be encouraged to take more chances. Fucking electric bumper cars demolition derby style car chase. Dino-people. Devo (the concept not the band). Psychic fungi. And all the other fucking weirdos. It's not even awesomely bad, it's badassly awesome.

What's most surprising to me is how closely the latest animated Movie Bros. movie followed the very broad strokes of the plot of the original, like a sanitized and fully kitsch commercial reboot, which is kind of appropriate for the world we live in.

Is posting upside-down album covers a new meme? I fully embrace making it one.

Don't forget about Nintendo's own fairy goddesses in Zelda.

You know what's also good "built in AV"? Good design with code that's open to review. There's not nearly as much performance cost to good security if you start from a good foundation. Saying windows is slower because it's doing more security and more anti-virus is like saying I only run slow because I trip over my own feet. Like, no shit, but that's no excuse.

And singing the praises of updates and rollback systems that are like a decade behind everything else and still a consistent pain point for users is a little bit of weird fanboyism too.

If I was about to go on tour with my best friend and he said something stupid that put us in danger from real life lunatics with guns, I'd fucking cancel the tour too because I cared about us both and our relationship. Besides, if you can't tell your friends they're wrong when they're wrong, they're not really your friend. This isn't necessarily the act of betrayal you're making it out to be.

I'm betting that making this statement publicly makes it easier to break the tour contracts, rather than backing out of the tour without saying why.
