I will watch all of these. Thanks!

How much evidence do we have for this? I want to believe it since it's my favorite fact so far, which means I should be extra cautious before believing it.

I loved the show, but never would have guessed it was based on reality. Great facts!

Making your own meaning is Existentialism talk! Embrace the lack of meaning!

I looked around the house but couldn't find it. You sure it's not in your backpack OP?

Mine weren't either. Unbearably miserable for everyone until they got divorced, then it was just regular miserable. Would not recommend.

Most importantly, since there are infinite other options in-between that are just as likely as God existing, some can have negative reward values if you choose "worship God anyway". It is just as likely that there is a vengeful Anti-God that will torture you for eternity if you worship the Abrahamic God, which would completely negate the rewards from the original wager.

It was definitely considered piracy by the public at the time. Everyone I knew called it a "legal grey area", but as far as I know it was legally permissable.

The media companies tried their hardest to make it sound like you were destroying the entire industry and you'd go to jail for life as soon as they caught you.

What makes me mad is the boomers I watched copy rentals and NFL games are the same ones telling me I'm stealing by using an ad blocker.

When I was a kid we would have yearly morel hunts. My uncles were always scouting the neighbors' woods, and once morels were sighted we'd sneak onto their property and gather bags of 'em. We'd usually get about 10 pounds between the six of us cousins. Then Grandma would fry them up and we'd feast.

One year I ate at least a pound by myself. That night I got so violently ill I thought I would die. I never ate morels again.

Now you have me wondering if one of us picked a not-morel and I was the unlucky one who ate it.

I was just thinking this should be a "First time?" meme instead. It feels like there's always one instance down.

But it's nice that Lemmy as a whole is never down, just individual pieces.

Universe is my favorite, with SG1 close behind. I feel like Universe tried too hard to be Battlestar Galactica at first and the network wasn't impressed when it didn't hit it off like BSG. I would have loved another season.

My kid is obsessed with the Mario sets. Unfortunately almost none of them have physical instructions, so you need to use the LEGO Mario app.

Sometimes I will find him going through the instructions on the iPad for sets we don't even own. He just likes watching it get built and doesn't know YouTube is a thing yet.
