That's incredible. I was writing out a lot about how it's one of those things where if you're not great at it, you can just glom on to somebody who is, but was having some difficulty with the wording and scrolled down. So are you feeding @Gorillatactics album recommendations now and if so, can the rest of us get in on that?
Baiting them into quitting just selects for a bait-averse capitalist. Tom from MySpace decided to enjoy his life and we got Zuck.
" he asked, plugging his ears and running for the exit.
Have you read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future? I showed it to somebody who left religion decades earlier and could see what a gut punch it still was. I think he had basically substituted indefinite space exploration for heaven and finding out that even that's not an option was like losing faith a second time.
I went to the totality zone of the solar eclipse and people were giving their little kids the lunar eclipse explanation, saying the earth's shadow was going to cover the moon. People who deliberately came to the event where what was going on was explained countless times got it that wrong. People back then were just as smart as us; not very. The only reason there weren't freak-outs of historical importance is that the whole thing is over before you can organize a cult around it.
Watching All Quiet on the Western Front (1979) in history class. Since Vietnam, war coverage in the US has been heavily censored, often to the point where we're just given casualty figures. I don't know how other people process those figures, but their reactions seem to me like they aren't processing them at all. The words are spoken, the number displayed on the screen and the audience waits for sports and the weather. To me, it's that number times some nightmare-fuel death from that movie.
After school came 9/11, then the Iraq invasion, then the '04 election where the democrats put up Kerry, who had voted for the war. I could vote for an instigator of that unfathomable amount of suffering or for an enabler. I wish I had just written off democrats then instead of falling for Bernie years later.
Knowing more than 3 flags is nerdery to a chud. Even if one realized what flag you were carrying, they'd have to weigh the possibility of getting punched and being told to "shut up, nerd" after announcing it. I think you'd stand a good chance of going home safely.
Are there more specific rumors as to the investigations out there that the times isn't printing? I feel like I just finished an episode and have to contend with the post-episode thread for a week.
If Journey's worst offense is looking uncool, that puts them ahead of most classic rock bands. Also now have Wheel in the Sky playing in my head and about to play it out loud, thanks (seriously).
It really seems like it's dying out. Or at least isn't attracting any newer Tom Cruises. Like look where we are, on a thread where the maybe-scientologist's name requires elaboration because most people aren't familiar.
Barron goes, an action movie to rescue him ensues, but when they get to him, he sides with his new drug buddies, so . . .
Still inaccurate -- 1.7% of GSW patients are there for GSW to the penis (GSWP). By only considering patients, there's a bias against GSWs where treatment was not sought. If a bullet grazes my shoulder while I was doing something I don't want known to everybody, I might try to treat it at home. GSWP? I'm going to see a doctor, a real doctor, not somebody's cousin who almost finished nursing training, an actual doctor, so the second wound ends up in the numerator and denominator while the first contributes to neither.
Moonfall. Started it on a plane 10 minutes too late to see the whole thing, came home and immediately pirated it to get closure on that garbage.
Wouldn't that be great, too? Five-base baseball with no commercials, a new World Series where the name isn't a joke and they keep the name because what's the imperial core doing to do about it?
The dogs vs. fent-sniffing-machines part of the 2024 debate will be machine guns vs. drones in 2028.
I couldn't find this post and was worried that there was something horribly wrong with the Beekeeper movie and you deleted the post. Downloading now.
My renewal letter says, in part, "[i]f you fail to fully execute a new lease by September 22, 2024, your lease will go to Month to Month at the rate of $0.00."
If they don't correct that, can I stay rent-free?
I recently read about the break up of standard oil and I learned that Rockefeller became poorer as a result of the break up. I understand that...
