It almost certainly won’t work but I’d be curious if any test credit card numbers work for that purpose. They still pass the Luhn algorithm, but I’m guessing Google is still gonna reach out to some service to verify the CC details.

Yes! I am glad to see someone spreading this around again because this is possibly the greatest series of commercials ever produced. 100% perfect example of advertising done right!

Fun fact: that speech was a first draft. The writer made himself a note to revise it, but got busy enough with other stuff that he forgot. He remembered last minute when they were prepping to shoot the scene, but it was too late as Bill Pullman had already memorized it and had also spent time listening to unedited recordings of presidents giving big speeches throughout history to make sure it had the correct tone (this is also why he has the kind of awkward start).

A Perfect Circle - Thinking of You

Maynard has stated that song is about jerking off to the thought of having anal sex with someone.

Apologies, this is a rant. Please ignore if you are an em dash fan and know that I am not ranting at you, but at its creator.

As someone who has had to deal with comparing text output via automated tests, this thread hurts. I hate Em Dashes and whoever invented them with a burning passion. They make text comparison a nightmare.

“Let’s invent a character that looks exactly like a slightly longer hyphen, but isn’t!” Brilliant. Well done.

Why not just make the hyphen longer instead so people can just type it, like they do with every other character? Nope, instead, let’s invent a different character that can only be typed if you know the Unicode ID.

Even worse is the fact that there are also En Dashes. Because we definitely needed both and couldn’t just type multiple consecutive hyphens to make the line longer…

The worst part is that if you are writing physically, and you’re not a robot, there is no way to distinguish between these at all; they are all just hyphens.

If you want a wacky, unique rhythm game: Gitaroo Man

For the PS2 entry into one of the best shoot em up series of all time: Gradius V

For a fun, anime themed, voice acted tactical RPG that you can just literally play forever because it seemingly invented the “looping, start over but with better base stats” mechanic that idle games use these days: Disgaea

(As a bonus, the original PS2 version of Disgaea has a different voice for one of the characters than it does in other releases because they lost the rights or some thing like that, so you get to experience it in a slightly different manner than most other people.)

Annoyed by haircuts? Interesting. And the places you like often close? I’m very curious about this because I just go to super cuts or whatever but corporate chain and it’s always super relaxing to me. I get to tell them to do the same thing they always have done (since it’s saved in my profile based on phone number), then just sit, relax and close my eyes for like 15 minutes while someone cuts my hair for me and then leave looking better than when I arrived.

I only get my hair cut like 2 to 3 times a year. Basically when it starts getting in my eyes and becoming a nuisance. I rarely trim my facial hair too. Just once it starts becoming annoying to eat messier foods.
