They are maximising choice by creating a new lowest rung on the ladder of choices. Now you can buy something good, or buy a Ford!

Rich guys and private islands... I'm sure nothing bad has ever come of that.

Street Fighter was OK, wasn't it? I'm asking because I haven't seen it since I was a teenager and my sensibilities may have changed since then.

Check out the first Mario Bros movie (1993 I think?) if you want to feel your brain vomit out your ears. How they got to that story with the source material is anyone's guess.

Relevant, for those interested in the history of grep. Computerphile

Isn't the point of the Olympics to go there and represent your country? Isn't that what people aspire to do? So fuck off with this nonsense! Let people represent themselves, or admit the Olympics is now defunct and no longer worthwhile.

At least be consistent with it too! I don't know what it's like in the States but internationally we don't get 7/16" bolts or whatever, we get 10-gauge or 8-gauge etc. What the fuck does that mean?? And wiring too: no 8mm wire, no no let's have 6AWG. Jesus christ it's like they enjoy making life difficult.

True! We used to use pounds, shillings, pence as our currency and I'm very glad I never needed to deal with that shit.

Yes. That's how proxies work.

Sure, but do you need some sweet sweet couch in your life? Or if you prefer love handles, perhaps an armchair?

Damn straight. I feel if we still worshipped nature maybe we'd take better care of it. Instead we have religions that propose we're above nature, owners of the world, and we're ripping it to shreds. Such a pity.

I'm probably showing my age but I can't believe no-one has mentioned Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High. I grew up with Joey, Wheels, Snake, Spike, Stephanie etc. Looking back, that was a pretty hard-hitting show aimed at teenagers.
