Strands #198 “On the rebound” 🟡🔵🔵🔵 🔵🔵

Tap for spoilerThought it was bounce but wasn’t. Found basketball which I thought would be the spangram, but spring was there in the corner alone. So had to be bounce related, just worked off that

I bet “that’s not what happened” with zero elaboration has a single digit success rate

Weirdly, this comment is a little hasty but only because of recent developments. ONN presumably didn’t make enough money so it was canceled, thus they couldn’t keep doing sketches like that. Now that The Onion has bought itself from its corporate owners, ONN is said to be returning. If the new ONN sucks this comment will be accurate though.

I love this one. I sometimes fit “post office box” into sentences just to say it the way Duncan does.

Side note, I saw Duncan’s actor in an episode of Always Sunny a few years ago and it was lovely seeing him. He’s probably my favorite from ONN. The segment about Nigeria where he accidentally reads about Niger is a phenomenal use of visual comedy

How fucking stupid.

“Resorts World Las Vegas is dedicated at all times to ensuring a safe, secure, and comfortable environment for all of our valued guests,” the statement begins. 

Resorts World said the latest policy was established “in light of recent events in Las Vegas, and the increasing ransomware threats to casinos and hotels on the Strip,”

Hard to see this absurd invasion of privacy as being for anything but that last bit. Hope this results in significantly fewer guests, but it feels like the vote-with-your-wallet part of capitalism stopped working some time ago.

Wait I’m still a bit confused. Do people use the brush part?

Hi, could you link a public version? This wants me to log into Google but I do not have an account

Ah I see. I’m kind of wondering how you got the money to buy out a Starbucks location.

Have you considered a video blog on YouTube? Documenting bodily changes and such

[–] thrawn 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I agree, I saw some people approaching you quite harshly which does not seem useful.

We must all remember that we don’t know everything. I still think you may be undergoing mental stress of some sort (doesn’t have to be schizophrenia or psychosis), and think that images documenting these bodily changes in you or your cats should show one way or another. If you’re not comfortable sharing either here, I’d highly recommend sharing them with your psychiatrist and therapist when you can.

And well, if I ultimately ended up wrong, I would hate to have been rude to someone with wings. You’ll no doubt understand how skepticism remains for a long time, but I’ll always entertain being wrong no matter what it is.
