I like the Castlevania explanation for why crosses work on vampires:

“Vampires are basically an evolved predator species, so their eyesight is pretty different to ours. Turns out that if you put a big geometric shape right up close in their field of vision, it confuses the shit out of their brains and, you know, makes them panic.”

“Time for TICKLES!”

I believe the term you’re looking for is “stank face”. I’ll sometimes do this when I’m listening to a song and a part is especially virtuosic or surprising. When you see a musician doing it it’s often either concentration or them hitting sort of a flow state where they’re really feeling what they’re playing.

If the press were capable of speaking this plainly we wouldn’t be here in the first place.

“Protestors claim video appears to show President eating homeless man. White House Press Secretary claims without evidence that the man was in fact a chicken nugget. President posts message saying ‘I LOVE KILLING AND EATING THE POOR!’ And now, we speak to some Republican think tank guy about how The Left are making food scarcity worse.”

I recently got stuck with a Tesla rental on a trip and discovered that while it doesn’t have handy stuff like Android Auto, it does have a customizable fart feature. I knew Musk was a jackass, but that (and now this) really drives it home.

Depends. Is the paint made out of puréed billionaires?

Too soon.

“You know this plastic prison of theirs won’t hold me forever. The war is still coming, Charles.”

Emphasis on “when it thinks”. Not much point to a privacy control that the device can just ignore for unspecified reasons, and they had 150+ instances of that occurring in this data set.

Nobody working on the inside has ever leaked anything regarding this potentially massive breach of privacy? A perfectly secret conspiracy by everyone involved?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but…

FWIW I’m not seeing this on the Play Store for Firefox (yet?) on my Pixel 8a, and I’m not seeing any warnings on Beta or Nightly either:

Without any additional details, I have to admit I’m skeptical. “My brain won’t let me be productive? I know, weed will make this better!” sounds… counterintuitive.

Beaten, mulched, boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew?
