I think you’re confused why he brought up shaking anything at all, what you’re missing is that he brought up shaking an umbrella as a reply to the OP image that talks about shaking booty aka dancing.

The Finnish thing is that they don’t shake booty. The umbrella being the only thing they shake was just a way to highlight that they aren’t dancing like Colombians.

A quick read of the reddit questions that have already been asked before he shows up to start answering, it points to you not being alone.

When I was young I heard the phrase “time marches inexorably forward” and I always thought it was one of those really cool phrases everyone knew from some philosopher or like from Shakespeare or some highbrow source of wisdom or wit.

Recently I looked it up, and I can’t for the life of me figure out where it came from, or why I thought it was one of those ubiquitous things everyone had heard before. It was probably actually from some X-Men cartoon or something silly but I’ll never figure it out.

I wish I could go back in time and figure out where I heard that phrase with that specific wording but, you know what they say…

Its hilarious seeing the same “absolutely insane” tag that I have used.

The background lore of the TV show Severance is gonna create a new rise of ether used as a recreational drug in a sort of “do not build the torment nexus” way.

To be perfectly fair, saying “there’s nothing else to say” is a way stronger example of a thought terminating exercise. Yet here we both are.

I think your untreated trauma is negatively affecting how you treat the people around you.

In 2000, The Thirteenth Floor was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film but lost to The Matrix.

Yeah that’s a pretty good sell. I’ll check it out.

Huh? Wouldn’t you be really surprised if they had the ability to unlock the beta art during a time when the beta art hasn’t even been replaced yet?

The Wild Truth

Is that theory based on a hunch you had, or is it maybe based on the memoir that his sister wrote where she says so?

Most people have that XKCD memorized. That one and the “I’m so meta even this acronym” one of course.

This guy is the coolest type of hacker.

very nice, thanks for the link.

Mastering nethack was one of my proudest achievements in a way that is incredibly embarrassing, but also the only people who know nethack enough to be properly embarrassed for me are also the people that might understand my pride lol.
