@scribus two people, straight-up eighty years old, start scuffling when the get off the bus. Idk who started it but they were each saying the other one shoved them. They were yelling and pushing each other and one of them started demanding we call the police and then when the police came suddenly the dude didn’t speak English and we had to get a Chinese-speaking cashier to interpret and at some point in the translation his story changed and he said nobody shoved anybody, she just fell. Nobody got arrested but I’m pretty sure the lady’s gonna press charges cos they’re neighbors and they have to see each other every day.

@scribus If I had some hair gel I could make the perfect emo look. Yeah, very awkward.
-
@scribus they are not that long. The hair at the front is a little bit annoying when it falls into my eyes. They are so long that they reach easily the tip of my nose.
-
@scribus I hope so too. Maybe I'll go a bit sooner to the coiffeur and cut my hair. I haven't been there for over 7 months and my family is nagging me because of my terrible hair.

@scribus This stuff is why I hope Biden’s lead remains as it is or grows. If he wins with a vote share that’s closer to Bush 2004 than Obama 2008, Trump will litigate every close state and throw us into a Supreme Court headache even worse than Bush v. Gore.

@scribus A long time ago there were a few bats. I don't know if there are any now. Even back then they were hard to spot flying in the twilight.

@scribus one of the things Biden has going for him is that he’s running against a maniac, if it was Biden vs Romney then Kanye would probably run off with a Ross Perot sized vote haul that ultimately would change nothing but would make him feel like he did something.
-
@scribus oh yeah that too, I was thinking about the industry at large but also individual people saying "I didn't know this racist thing I actively engaged in was racist" is something I don't often buy
-
@scribus the sentiment is nice and all but working from the societal equivalent of an F to a C- and calling it a day is not the big move they must think it is

@scribus iirc the ruling was that government accounts (which includes Trump’s personal account, due to some records act that encompasses both his and Obama’s Twitter history) are public forums and therefore cannot block people, but PRIVATE political accounts are not. IE, the state party can block users because the party is not affiliated with the government, and “campaign accounts” (which most Reps tend to use instead of their office accounts) can do so as well.

@scribus The Hobbit is a short book but it compresses time a lot and a lot and things are not very well told because they come somewhat out of nowhere. 3 movies is a bit much, I can agree that 2 would be very fine.
Reading Inu Yasha to the end was easier than Lord of the Rings. I HATE all those lengthy scenic descriptions in LOTR and my brain fades out too quickly to get past them. LOTR would work a lot better as a comic because those would be held to a brief instance and not minutes and multiple pages. To be frank: Inu Yasha has also big pacing issues. It could have been easily cut in half without losing too much of its substance. Towards the end it got DBZ-like when it comes to stretching the content and delay the inevitable. -
@scribus I’m such a boring Fluffle Puffin drunk too, I didn’t do ANYTHING regrettable besides get sick. Never drinking again.

@scribus Ubuntu is dead to me. I rather use Gentoo and compile everything myself than use Ubuntu ever again.

@scribus I saw a video about the last Blockbuster end of last year and I haven't noticed any Pokémon Snap photo printing stations.

@scribus There is PRECEDENT for something like that, bits of I think The Lion King and Pocahontas were animated remotely after an earthquake temporarily shut down Disney’s Glendale campus, but there’s no way it would be able to be coordinated on a large scale long term basis pre-digital era. Al Jean said that he encouraged staff at the Simpsons’ relatively new in-house animation studio to work from home well before California’s stay-at-home orders and work wasn’t slowed in the slightest in spite of that. Could not have happened twenty years ago.

@scribus my thoughts boil down to "pretty OK". If you enjoy the meta-ness of Rick & Morty you'll appreciate it also in Community. I have the series mostly as background noise while I browse the Internet and for that purpose it's great. While The Office was more grounded in its world Community puts up a notch into the absurd. That doesn't work every time but not that much that it breaks the enjoyment. However the main character Jeff's behaviour can be very grating, as well some others. I'm at episode 20 and so far I'm willing to keep it going.

@scribus I'll allow it http://rainbowdash.net/url/875539

@scribus Peer, slightly older, we went to school together. I’m pretty flippant about it because “tried to” is a key phrase, I was fortunately able to recognize what was going on pretty quickly and remove myself from the situation.

@scribus laughed myself to tears earlier reading this tweet https://twitter.com/InternetHippo/status/1267307371434393601

@scribus Do this with a few wooden poles or metal tubes and some wire. You can also use it as a support to lay a nylon or wire mesh on top if you expect hail. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875532

@scribus I don't think I'm capable of doing anything without making a joke about it (ie episode 4 had a very frank and real discussion about suicide with the subtext being that I, the creator, am depressed, followed immediately by a joke about it) but the scene as it currently exists is not a "joke"
