    Friends was in a supermarket the other day. He bought an item labelled “Liquid Death”.

    What the product actually was is something he never buys because he never needs it, but because of the fantastically insane name of the product he said he just had to buy it!

    That product? The one named Liquid Death?

    Do you want to know what it was?

    It was a 12 pack of 500ml cans of water

    This kind of marketing works, kids. Something so unexpected you just have to buy it!




  • Disagree with the second one.

    You’ve never seen people dining with photographs / stuffed toys / [other miscellaneous items] ?

    Just use one of those LLMs that talk back to you in real time, give it the voice of your waifu, and put your phone near the photo / animé figurine / pony plushie with conveniently placed hole in the rear and you have a fully interactive evening out with your favourite fictional character!





  • Thanks! Plenty of people questioned my choice - I questioned my choice 😂 - even as I was dropping hundreds on getting the dual controls installed.

    But honestly, it has been such a perfect choice ❤️ thankfully the gearbox fucked up IN warranty! But apart from that one got no complaints. The learners love it as well!

    Plenty of horsepower gives them confidence on the motorways 😎 and the power delivery is so smooth ❤️ it is literally just a Golf with a sporty body

    I love writing myself and I absolutely despise it.

    Not to send you down the TV trope rabbit hole, but I believe it’s “The power of trust” where side characters put unreasonable amounts of trust into a character they’ve only just met (Doctor Who is a bloody classic at this one), mixed with a bit of “The Gift” where people will grant the protagonist unrealistically generous gifts for little to nothing in return.

    And it’s not like CJ ever gets called out on the bullshit he does, either. The mission that absolutely stands out to me in terms of CJ’s insanity is the one where he straight up murders the construction site manager in cold blood for harassing Kendl.

    Sure, the part where you wreck the construction site makes sense, but to then bury the guy in concrete is plain stupid. If I were Kendl I’d be fucking horrified 😅
