That em dash in particular isn't the chatgpt style. But when someone relies heavily on lists of three, that's a red flag for me.

That's clearly Gary Oldman. Just leave the guy alone.

This is mostly true, but one of the professors that I've had issues with ended up giving my contested marks back and then nitpicking the rest of work to death within the bounds of the rubrics. I ended up withdrawing. It just isn't worth it. Nobody is going to read my papers after I finish the course.

I am very far along in my academic career. I have just once piece of advice: don't fight your professor's ideology. The third time I had to go the dean of the department to complain about my professor giving me poor marks because they disagreed with politically was the last time, because now I just write whatever shitty paper they want. It's easier, it will save you from getting retaliated against, and it doesn't matter.

For sure it was dick first. Then when people got got upset the artist had to assure them it was just the start of a massive man.

Just a reminder that going bluesky to make fun of bluesky is just as embarrassing as going bluesky for any other reason.

He got off worse than Reagan, which is saying something. He got "punished" about as harshly as any person who doesn't have their entire head up their ass would expect a president of the US to be, which is barely.

He quite famously did not make it through that scandal.

I'm watching this show. I'm not a big fan or anything, but I like peasants and middle ages stuff. I could do without all the silly names and magic, but we don't get many high production medieval media anymore. Anyway, I feel the show was edited to be released all at once on HBO Max but someone decided to put it out weekly. Infuriating. They've gone through maybe 2 story beats in 5 eps. Just let me binge my slop.

The only good in-game crypto implementation.

Walmart sells digiorno style rising crust frozen pizzas for $4. And they kinda slap if you brush those crusts with olive oil and garlic powder.

Yes, it's mostly nostalgia bait. There are two main benefits for using a safety razor though. If you have a substantial beard they clog less; not an issue if you shave every day but that's getting less common. And if you have sensitive skin they irritate less because you're dragging less blades across your skin. I use a safety razor with the nicest blades I can get because my skin is like a 15th century noble woman's.
