  1. was kind of waiting for that, but no that's how everyone I've actually come in contact with physically across the states would describe that read at least. It was something when it was written in the 50's, but mainly because the boomer effect, and that's only made sadder if it's the only standing set of qualities people can use to reinforce their feeling it's a good read....The book is definitely not timeless in any regard imo. Sorry.
  2. Had to google that to even remember he's the guy in The Catcher in the Rye. Thanks for bringing back memories of being forced to listen to people read that god awful book, and me attempting to read it on my own for class but not even being able to make it through a whole chapter because it's sad piece of sloppy repressed memories of the author. edit: I sometimes forget just how polarizing of a novel it's supposed to be, and I've only read it for high school, and then later creative writing classes college level. I've never not hated it though it's almost like... If you were going to make Hayden Caulfield so unlikeable, and like a symbol of innocence or protecting it at least do it from the third person so we don't have to listen to him rambling.. The plot is lacking you have little to no character progression.. You def either love or hate that book and I'm in the hate camp. Fuck Hayden Caulfield I'm fucking triggered.
  3. It's almost like this critique wasn't about a TikTok account...For me finding a TikToker worth even a few seconds view is at least 1/100000. There's really nothing but, nothing-burger mongers on there, and if you think I'm being hyperbolic I considered adding 6 zeros, but no... There are true gems that exist on TikTok I guess. I've found more than a few I guess that made their start at least on TikTok or have good content............ BUT SHEESH..
  4. I had my own kind of driver or drivers by my exiting years though lol... One of them was a rapper as well....Here's the setup: "Hey I'm on leave and just trying to find a ride to the airport so I can go to my home state.. yellow cab trippin... this other service... trippin. How much you want?" Him: "Damn man I got my kid right now but I'll do that for like $50.86 and I'll make sure we can turn up..." Me: "bet!" Dude was an ex cab driver running his own bus though lol.. Me at the airport...."MAke sure your dad don't open this bottle 'till yall get home." Dude's kid: "MAn yall stupid as fuck whatever I better not have to drive again." /Joke Kind of.
  5. never been in those NY/NJ cabs or where ever those Hollywood style cabs supposed to be from lol.... All my cab drivers back when I was in places that had them had TOO MANY questions, and would never shut up the whole ride. Like even the Indian ones were trying to be political analysts the times.. like what you think about this, You like the current president? To be fair though I only took cabs when it was pretty clear I was military so I guess they automatically assumed it's cool to politic me.
  6. That dude probably had the best shit.
  7. It's too cold to be playing angry birds outside.
  8. Mines Grover Cleveland. I think at least at one point he was the only U.S. president to serve two nonconsecutive terms, but also he was responsible for a lot of the native american protections we see today... In a weird way. The Dawes Act fucked a whole lot of shit up and allowed NA land to be sold. I've been looking into it and I don't know or I'm not completely sure why someone would name their kid Grover Cleveland because that shit was still bad, but my great grandfather was named that, my grandfather was born on the Tahlequah res. though he moved out and became a policeman for a small town in Texas lol. Weird shit. Gotta be clear I'm not really a fan of his policies when I say this I just think it's Ironic as hell my GGF was named after the man. Do I want to know why or not lol? He championed himself as a protector of NA's but supposedly did more harm than good idk.
  9. Fine...This guy once got so lost in that hooha it took six expeditions and 7 years to get him out. We told the rescue teams to put him back in, but they just dropped him and backed away slowly before issuing a full scale retreat.
  10. Heh.. Good thing I traded pokemon then that time huh?
  11. Damn how'd you know? They know to give me a straw at KFC already.
  12. Once finished a restaurants publicity food challenge without chewing a single bite.
  13. So in other words it's just the latest science fair winner for geneticists.
  14. Sounds like the concept behind Xenoblade at least. So many other Sci-fi thrillers/games, but I guess what I'm remembering about Xenoblade in particular that relates to this is that the powers that be were supposedly in a space station moments before a cataclysmic event was suppose to destroy everything anyway, but before it could one was prompted to hit a magic reset button of sorts that caused a machine within or the whole station to basically rewrite all matter within it's reach into the new worlds you see in the Xenoblade chronicles games. Ended up feeling like a nice touch to the lore especially when you get out of the cloud realms and finally see the scorched "Earth" like stages at the end. Only they were so far advanced in the game fiction they didn't create a digital world to escape to...They had a machine that pretty much rewrote reality itself I guess?
  15. Is banned from Canada for fighting with the wrong stick during a hockey tournament.
  16. I mean not to put an end to anybody's doom scrolling but scientists have had the capability for a while... The first synthetic life form was a bacterium created in 2010 by scientists at the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI). The bacterium, called JCVI-syn1.0, had a synthetic genome. https://www.jcvi.org/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3878377/#:~:text=In 2010%2C staff at the,scientists may well do so. One of the limiting factors if you ask me is that THEY are human. Hell you can even factor AI into the mix but it learns off OUR knowledge, and starts to get AI down syndrome if somebody doesn't mommy it. Interesting post just saying that we are still a Far Cry from Cyberpunk if that's what you're hoping for. I am still reading though can it survive outside a lab? I'm sure the science has to be interesting and groundbreaking but that article is sooo barebones...
  17. I want to say artificial life has been done more than a few times now....
  18. Once asked why every single odd number has the letter e in it at a Wendy's drive through.
  19. Hmm now it's this though because I probably have adhd, and whales.
