If we say that the accepted pronunciation of “X” is “ex” then we run into an even bigger problem than Prince’s logo.

“Ex” User says… Is this a former user of the website or current?

A user on the website “ex” is too long winded and sounds like I’m saying a hypothetical.

Users on “ex” - although shorter, X is a street name for ecstacy and user is sometimes used as shorthand for drug user (e.g. User and abuser) so why should we be listening to a cracked out party kid?

The golden ticket is “formerly Twitter” because we actually know what the fuck that one is.

I’m willing to bet there’s at least one X user on X right now.

How long was Prince “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince”?

Yeah, the rest of his life.

Twitter probably will have the same laid upon it.

Look at it this way, BMI is a cross section of weight and height. I was considered “overweight” for ages because I just had tree trunk thighs from hiking and weightlifting. Like, less than 16% body fat but told I’m ‘overweight’ every time I got weighed.

The ruler was fucking wrong.

Nowadays, I’m much more of a fat fuck so the ruler is right now but only just so… I’m still under 25% when using hydrostatic!

The whole road while taking a dash pic at 70mph.

BMW drivers have the same opinions about whatever you’re driving too… Even other Beemers. At least the second part.

You throwing babies away?

You’re just supposed to say the two in sequence.

1. Slap it
2. That’s not going anywhere
3. As you walk away, say “ain’t going nowhere”
4. Drive away and watch as you sand blast everything in your rear view

Called once to ask, they said go to urgent care.

Then billed me for a telehealth visit and also the Urgent Care billed me too.

Didn’t have precision munitions back then. Didn’t have drones that can monitor the battlefield from across the globe and provide real-time video feeds.

Besides, in this case, Israel is playing Germany’s role.

The ludicrousness is the point. “Capture a creature in a ball”… How close is that to Red Dead’s lasso? Could Nintendo patent capturing a creature with a rope? Does anyone hold that patent yet? No, it would be silly to try to patent something like that - yet at one point I’m certain it was someone’s “technique” while everyone else was jumping on the horses back like Breath of the Wild.

Imagine if you had a hammer and decided to use it to hit a nail and then someone came along and said “I see you’re using my method to build a house! Pay up!”

Well, you can’t patent something like that!

Imagine you open up a game engine, any engine, and decide you need to point to an objective so you decide to use an arrow. A game company says “You’re using our method to identify objectives! Pay up!” and that one is a unique mechanic?

How long has humanity been using arrows to point to things? How can you patent it just because it’s a digital arrow?

I dunno if I could manage to spend $30 just to be reminded of something that’ll be forgotten by December…

Are you sure you’re not a Sony Psyop to get us all to buy Concord merch to help recoup the loss?

Technically the triangle just refers to ‘relationships’ and not ‘romantic relationships’ so two male friends and one female love interest works as a triangle but one woman with two male strangers doesn’t with because that’s just a V.

This was a movie that I’d seen one day and promptly forgot the name of it. I tried in vain to find out years later. I asked my mom and she had no idea what I was talking about. I asked everyone and no one even knew. I was convinced it was a fever dream or something.

Until I heard Tech N9ne’s Everybody Move and he said “Falling Down like Michael Douglas” and it was a core memory unlocked and I finally got to watch it again.

It was every bit as good as I remember.

A lot of prior military folks will use males and females just because that’s how it’s been drilled into them. Male and female latrines, not men and women’s bathrooms. Male and female barracks, not men and women’s dorms. Male and female standards, etc etc.

The Zero Suit is looking pretty baggy in this picture for some reason.

From my experiences it goes more like this “In an ideal world, we’d behave this way. We’re not in an ideal world though and your competitors have no problem doing this so you should know what to do, in case the market determines it’s the best course.” with a knowing wink thrown in.

Hey, don’t blame us. YOU dated him.

Like, seven billion of them. Assuming half the world is below average of your expectation of things, that’s 3.5 billion people.

I learned to sneeze like that long before dabbing was a thing and it wasn’t until someone commented that I just dabbed on them that it connected those dots.

Regardless, I still sneeze in my elbow.
