First thing I remember was asking Papa why
For there were many things I didn't know

And Daddy always smiled, took me by the hand
Saying someday you'll understand

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast, and you better learn it young
'Cause someday, never comes

Counterpoint: Watch more violent movies.

If someone gets decapitated or fed through a wood chipper then you know for sure they're dead and not unconscious.

Only the most recent.

I also have never had any issues with game breaking bugs like that. I've encountered some glitches but nothing a save+reload couldn't fix. Everything just resets to its normal spawn point.

Right, and for pronouns you don't just put apostrophe s after. So you don't make "it" possessive by adding apostrophe s just like you don't add apostrophe s to "he" or "him" to make it possessive.

If you treat the pronoun "it" like a regular (non-pronoun) noun instead of like other pronouns, that is itself an exception.

As "its" is used to indicate possession by "it", "its" is an exception to apostrophe-s construction as used to indicate possessive forms.

Most, if not all, pronouns work that way though.

"The man's arm" becomes "his arm" not "him's arm". "The woman's arm" becomes "her arm" not "her's arm". Similarly, "the robot's arm" becomes "its arm" not "it's arm".

I don't really care if people use "it's" instead of "its" , but I don't think it's a unique exception. The only thing that's unique is that it is pronounced the same way as if you tacked an apostrophe and an s on the end. If we used the word "hims" instead of "his", I'm sure people would start putting an apostrophe in there too.

Everything about that episode is incredible. It absolutely deserved the three Emmy awards it won (best writing, best lead actor, best supporting actress).

I can think of so many more "or shit, the scene where" sentences you could add to that paragraph. It's just one incredible scene after another. So much happens in such a short time but it doesn't feel rushed—you just feel things rapidly spiraling out of control in such a visceral way.

That's actually why Mr T adopted his moniker.

I think about my father being called "boy", my uncle being called "boy", my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called "boy". So I questioned myself: "What does a black man have to do before he's given respect as a man?" So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody's mouth is "Mr."

RIP to a legend

For the last couple decades, Phil was an outspoken advocate for organ donations thanks to a donor named Cody who saved his life. Every concert he would ask people to consider becoming an organ donor. If you're not already, think about it. As Phil said, you could "save the life of someone you'll never meet".

But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we'd just eat more
And buy really expensive ketchups with it
That's right, all the fanciest-, Dijon ketchup, mm, mm

That was when he took LSD for the first time intentionally. There was one time before that when he absorbed it accidentally.

I remember this episode of Parks and Recreation

What sort of eggs are that shape? And why have they never been introduced to the Lilliputians?

People say this a lot and I believe it's based on this quote:

I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn’t mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure.

Many people seem to interpret "that song isn't mine anymore" to mean "that song is now Cash's". But here's another quote:

Then I got a CD in the post. I listened to it and it was very strange. It was this other person inhabiting my most personal song. I’d known where I was when I wrote it. I know what I was thinking about. I know how I felt. Hearing it was like someone kissing your girlfriend. It felt invasive.

To me, that doesn't sound like he's saying it's Cash's song now or that Cash's version is better. It's more that Cash proved to him that even though this was a deeply personal song about his own life and struggles that he's not the only one capable of doing it justice. He realized that other talented artists can take that song about him and transform it into a song about them. The song's not his anymore because it could be anyone's song.

The player believes that this transformation feature is in Bloodborne but wasn’t ever added to the playable game.

Uhh... What? It was added in the DLC with the Beast's Embrace rune. Equip that rune and the Beast Claw and voila! You're now a beast.

I really liked Dawncaster but then I didn't play it for awhile and when I came back it had changed significantly and all the builds that I used to win with consistently no longer worked out. Honestly it's probably more balanced now than before but I haven't spent enough time with it to get good again.

I'd add Slice and Dice to that list
