Sweet potato biscuits! I have never tried that but now I want to.

I adored the first one. Exciting!

Wait, you mean they’ll release a new NBA game next year? Just like they do every year? Amazing.

This is true, and I’m genuinely angry about that.

Yes please! It’s a brilliant game and I will happily buy an updated version.

I agree with the other three, but this is wrong about “narcissists”. “Narcissistic Personality Disorder” is a diagnosis, but calling someone a “narcissist” isn’t. That’s just a description of someone’s personality. It’s much older than the diagnosis, going back to the Greek myth of Narcissus. The diagnosis doesn’t get to co-opt the much older usage.

I’m genuinely kind of mad that I didn’t think of this joke first.

A recent entry, but I adore Ms. Marvel. She’s very much like Peter Parker when he was introduced—teenager, dealing with real-world problems as well as superhero problems—except that she’s also a Pakistani immigrant living in New Jersey, so she has culture clash issues to deal with on top of the rest. The best parts of her story are when her superhero life intersects with her family/friends life, just like Peter Parker back in the 60s.

Not a fan of the new “she’s actually a mutant and being drawn into the Krakoa X-Men storylines”. I love the Krakoa X-men storylines but I think they don’t fit with her very grounded character.

Honestly? Just their basic tacos. Maybe the Doritos version if they still have those. But just get a couple of the hard tacos with some Fire sauce. If you like those, you may like other things on the menu; if you don’t, you probably won’t like any of it. They’re Taco Bell distilled.

On one hand, Roxxon are badly overplayed as villains. On the other hand, I’ve enjoyed every Al Ewing work I’ve ever read. So on balance, sure, I’ll check it out.

This is an obnoxious answer, but Gordon Ramsay yells so much about everyone else getting Beef Wellington wrong, I’d like to have his Beef Wellington, but made by him under the exact same conditions where the contestants got it wrong, with no special privileges.

 

The fun of Lemmy’s “all” is that you see posts from all around the world. Today my feed is suddenly full of memes in German about an old white guy with an eyepatch. Who is he, and why is he suddenly a meme?

 

Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.

 

A lot of movies, especially horror movies (I’m watching one now) depict blind people as not having pupils. But my understanding, based on blind people I’ve met, is that the problem is usually in the lens or the retina, and that they have pupils the same as everyone else. Are there actually blind people out there whose eyes are 100% white, or is that purely a Hollywood invention?
