Halo was best when it was Halo:CE played 4v4 on two linked systems, with the teams on two screens in an undersized dorm room in 2002. Alternatively, two people playing through the entire game in co-op mode and finishing at 3 in the morning.

Everything since then has been mid at best

I not only liked it, but am apparently one of today’s lucky 10,000.

Thanks for posting

Hexcuse me, I do not steal memes, thank you very much!

I procure image macros

Hey OP, I’m too late seeing this but I want you to know I love you for doing it.

Keep being awesome ♥️

I stop in when I’m on a computer to check three subreddits that are directly related to my trade, and a fourth that is for my local community. The rest is pretty shit TBH. Even my hobbies are better represented on discord these days

False.

Licking can only be done with a tongue.

Eyelids moisten eyeballs. They are moist. You have moist, squishy eyeballs, and the eyelids help keep em moist.

Mmmm. Moist. Like wearing socks in a creek

Arschgeweih is my favorite, my second favorite is from Dungeons and Daddies (Not a BDSM Podcast), where they called them Women’s Empowerment tattoos

The English word “devil”, in reference to highly seasoned food, was in use in the 18th century, with the first known print reference appearing in 1786.[2] In the 19th century, the adjective “deviled” came to be used most often with spicy or zesty food, including eggs prepared with mustard, pepper, or other ingredients stuffed in the yolk cavity.[

I have wondered why they were called deviled eggs for a while. Now I have a greater understanding of why some of my WASP and Appalachian family think anything with more than salt and black pepper is “too spicy”.

Apparently I’m from the family branch that not only buys Anal Prolapser Hot Sauce from Ace Hardware, but also makes and sells it

Dude is a wordsmith.

Time is not a mirror
It’s some distorted view
Of the way you thought you was
And what you thought they thought of you

So judge all you like, and you do seem to like it

Oh, sorry, my tone is difficult to read over text. I forget that sometimes. I was, in fact, speaking against condemning people for their dietary decisions. Processed food is engineered to be addictive and not provide long term benefit, and obesity is like the one sin people can still condemn others for indiscriminately. But yeah, easy to read my post as the opposite of that, my bad

And man, yeah, weight fluctuating despite consistent caloric intake because of stress? Oh yes! Add to that the fact that a person has less mental bandwidth to give to dietary needs and it can become a negative feedback loop. I’m living that reality right now. Plus changes in metabolism from middle age. It sucks

tl;dr: I 100% agree with you

As quality of life declines, addictions will rise. Anything to stave off the cortisol and get a little more dopamine. Anything to make life a little less miserable. And the most socially acceptable addiction, the one they engineer daily to be more effective?

Food

And it’s totally fine to eat what you like, to have a big dinner with friends, to treat yourself. Until it isn’t. Until you cross an abstract threshold from socially acceptable to being a glutton. You wake up one morning and you’re a fat piece of shit draining resources and injuring nurses with your giant obese ass. Why didn’t you exercise a little self control? Why didn’t you go for a jog? Just exert a little willpower you lazy bastard. You deserve this. Actions have consequences.

You deserve to die on the factory floor before you can collect a pension, you selfish asshole

There are two stories here. One is that a middle aged man in poor health unexpectedly died right after finishing his shift. That’s the story you read. The other is that there is a systemic abuse of power by management to overwork higher seniority workers until they quit or are in too poor health to work. That’s the story I read.

Well, it’s your own damn fault you’re so damn fat
Shame, shame, shame
All the food on the shelf
Was engineered for your health
So, you’re gonna have to take the blame

This is the type of pedantry that annoys me and yet I admire. Bravo, good fellow, I salute you

So i kinda went on a thought rabbit hole here

1. I like jokes like this, in part because they only work in written form. Because if they were using base 10 they’d say “You’re a ten”, but base 2 would be “You’re a one zero” (or one oh)

2. Wait, do people actually say “ten” when expressing two in binary? Do they actually say “one, ten, eleven, one hundred, one hundred and one, one hundred and ten…”?

3. Have I been expressing binary incorrectly?

4. Am I overthinking this?

5. Honestly though, my favorite written pun is “Religions are more interested in profits than prophets”

Anyway, puns are fun. How do you say binary numbers?

I tried Heliboard but it just didn’t do it for me

Lol, been there

As a past victim of GBoard I will not pile on to OP for their glaring typo. Instead, here’s the quote from the Wikipedia article linked above

Osama Khalid (أسامة خالد), a Saudi Arabian former administrator of the Arabic Wikipedia, was sentenced to five years imprisonment in September 2020 for “swaying public opinion” and “violating public morals” by making edits “critical about the persecution of political activists in the country.” Khalid’s sentence was increased to 32 years in September 2022 as part of a campaign to lengthen the sentences of political detainees, according to Democracy for the Arab World Now and SMEX, a Lebanese non-governmental organization.

Ziyad al-Sofiani (زياد السفياني), also a former administrator of the Arabic Wikipedia, was likewise charged with “swaying public opinion” and “violating public morals” by making edits “critical about the persecution of political activists in the country.” He was sentenced in September 2020 to eight years in prison and was released in March 2025.
