That’s amazing.

If Earth orbit doesn’t count as leaving Earth, then Lunar orbit counts as being in Lunar territory.

I mean someone had to establish precedent. Can’t have people just coming from the moon without their papers.

HIS THRONE

“Earth” literally just means “the dirt under your feet”.

But most of us don’t identify our location so broadly. We say what state or country we’re in, and identify culturally that way. I imagine that won’t change when there are people living on the Moon. They’ll identify by the name of the base or settlement they live in.

I’m more interested in where the “border” is in this case. At what altitude are you no longer considered to be in US airspace?

That’s how a lot of marketing astroturfing works though.

You let people post things organically, then you signal boost the shit out of them, and nobody can claim it’s false or contrived, because OP really did just post a thing they like.

Yeah I think I’ll just light a match.

I was just tapping it on the side of the sink after rinsing it off and it came apart at the T joint. I thought about just using a spoon but figured the metal would scratch it up over time.

If you like that reality garbage, I won’t yuck your yum, but I enjoyed not having to see any of it. I miss being able to forget that shit like Obese Hoarder Wars or Little Person with 13 Kids exists.

Having to configure settings all over again on every single device pissed me off, especially since the new app didn’t even have subtitles customization of any kind. As someone who uses subtitles for almost all viewing, nothing turns me off of a streaming service faster than being stuck with shitty black bars and gigantic blocky text by default and being unable to change it.

And for fuck’s sake, nobody likes video previews with sound, and you can take your credit-skipping autoplay and shove it up your corporate ass.

I sign into “max” now and get bombarded on the home screen with basic cable reality show trash, and every time that happens it just makes me want to use it less. The only thing keeping me coming back is the occasional Soderbergh project and an as-of-yet still decent catalogue of movies, though even that has dropped off noticeably.

I would drop my subscription if it wasn’t bundled into my phone plan.

For me it’s because of Cinemax - ie Skinemax - which used to be associated with the softcore porn they’d play late at night.

It always mystified me that HBO Max was even able to use that name since it was so evocative of another premium cable network.

My current one has definitely held up better than the first one, so I’ll give them that. And it was still functional, but the stirring paddle had snapped, so I figured I’d get another and put the old one in the camper.

I wouldn’t call this thing BIFL. It’ll last a couple of years, but I’m on my second one now. The graduated numbers wear off pretty quickly, the rubber will break down eventually, and in my first one, eventually hairline cracks started appearing in the tube. It’s well made for what it is, but almost nothing made primarily of plastic will be BIFL, just because of material shortcomings alone.

It does make a good cup though, even with the reusable metal filters, which are the real BIFL.

So you’re saying we should switch to a .exe domain…

You are not alone.

Fair enough, I just see enough obvious staged videos as it is, and it’s not my bag. But you do you. Cheers.

Ah yes, the common rejoinder against the critic class by the poor creator.

Did you watch any of them? It couldn’t be more obvious how staged they all are to accomplish the specific gag.
