I have tried 3 different times now to watch Andor, haven't been able to make it passed episode 2. It seems like a really high quality show, but I just don't care at all about this time period or any of these characters

The real ending is that whether it is a dream or not doesnt matter, Cobb accepts it as his reality and is back with his kids, no longer trying to escape.

But yeah the top was wobbling, Cobb isnt dreaming

As an outsider, there's just one thing I don't understand about current GOP and it's supporters.

A lot of them were born in the era when the first thing they taught American kids was that Soviets and Russia were primordial evil and their nemesis. It was always about being better than commies, that was the most important thing.

Fast forward to this past decade and suddenly they love Putin, former KGB agent?
Like why? How?

Back then the chief enemy was communism, not Russia specifically. Russia is no longer communist. Still doesnt excuse them for stanning for Putin, but thats the difference

Isn't there a weird Cortana/Chief AI Girlfriend scene like in Blade Runner 2049? So now Chief is in a love triangle with Cortana and some human Covenant chick?

I've never fought Malenia, but the whole both you and the boss being 1 hit away and lasting for 30 seconds is impressive. Like that must have been very nerve wracking the entire time lol.

Im playing Elden Ring for the first time now, still in the early game, but I have a serious problem of getting a boss down to last hit and then just mashing attack to win, then getting wtfpwnd by a combo and losing

You dont even realize that Yemen is not in Palestine.

That aside, why is it unbelievable to you that an LGBTQ person could have empathy for another marginalized group? At least 19,500 women and children have been murdered by Israel since October. Hell, how many of those killed were LGBTQ, regardless of whether they can be open about it?

Are Jews a marginalized group? Im not caught up on the current hierarchy

Tucker has some huge balls for pressing Putin on this, I was even starting to get a little nervous when Tucker kept asking about it

Maybe that group Queers for Palestine can talk some sense into the Houthis?

Imma be honest, most people don't give a fuck about the report lol

That's literally why this press conference was called though lol

"I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president"

I mean, I can't really see any other reason that he would be doing a press conference so quickly after that report, what else could possibly be so important that it couldn't wait until Friday? Especially because Biden is known for calling lids early.

The MCU ended with Endgame and Spiderman Far From Home/No Way Home + Guardians 3 were nice bonus chapters to tie up loose ends

Biden speech coming up shortly.

What are the odds that Biden is about to announce he isn't running anymore? Newsom and Kamala are licking their chops right now

It's a really good question. It certainly seems like Hur was intending on creating a narrative that was needless. People being questioned being unable to recall things do not usually require such specific framing.

Sounds like Biden not having a good memory was one of the reasons they decided not to charge him:

Private businesses aren't allowed to choose who to hire and fire?

Certainly not in California, they went way above and beyond the national employee protections to guarantee all employees of the state are protected for their political views:

-Section 1101 of the California Labor Code provides: No employer shall make, adopt, or enforce any rule, regulation, or policy: (a) Forbidding or preventing employees from engaging or participating in politics or from becoming candidates for public office. (b) Controlling or directing, or tending to control or direct the political activities or affiliations of employees.

-Section 1102 of the California Labor Code provides: No employer shall coerce or influence or attempt to coerce or influence his employees through or by means of threat of discharge or loss of employment to adopt or follow or refrain from adopting or following any particular course or line of political action or political activity.

I have no idea how this case will turn out, I assume Disney puts some sort of legal protections in their contracts that they make all their actresses sign, but the state law is definitely on the side of the employee in CA

Good lord these guys are natural? How stringent is the testing for this stuff? I'm a tad skeptical.

Its pretty strict, for pros its lot of blood tests like the UFC plus polygraph tests. Lighting and a pump also make them look significantly better than they do in real life. Like this is the dude in his routine, w/ a full tan and oil:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/0333c593.jpg

He looks significantly smaller. He is extremely lean so you can see all the vascularity and muscle striations, but he isn't really that big. His chest actually looks pretty shitty, I think he just has really bad pec genetics. With a shirt on you wouldn't even know he lifts.

Yeah that guy is a genetic freak for sure. This is another natty bodybuilder who has much more average genetics, but has spent several years training hard for it. He got a pro card, but isn't winning any national championships:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/b/bfe27d13.jpg

He is like 155 lbs, 5' 8" when competing, probably looks terrible when he has his shirt on walking in and out of the competition venue lol

Here is a natty bodybuilding pro:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/8b3c7bd3.jpg

Especially with lighting and a pump, you can look damn good as a natty. Granted this guy in particular is a multi time Natural Olympia champ, but you can still get ripped.

The natural guys are just 160-170 lbs at single digit bodyfat, and would look pretty normal (or even a little sickly) with their clothes on, compared to the regular bodybuilders who are 220-280 lbs in single digit bodyfat and look like absolute monsters even with their clothes on

Not sure if its just horror movie tropes or actually part of the lore, but xenomorphs are basically super stealthy silent ninjas when they want to be, expert stalkers

They add in a couple pointless chases and fights in season 2 just to add action, thats for sure. The show is a bit cheesy at times but its fun, I can see why its really popular, sometimes people just want to watch a dude solve mysteries and beat some ass

I think the speculation is that Elon will put his money behind Nelson Peltz in the current fight for the Disney board:

i'd decline any request from trump and refuse to acknowledge him as an official candidate
literally nothing good ever comes from letting him take a stage

I am pretty confident this is what will happen, no way we get debates this year, Biden will say that he doesn't want to platform/acknowledge an insurrectionist

Pretty sure the original creator of True Detective, Nic Pizzolatto, has basically nothing to do with the show? And the new showrunner hasn't made anything of note? Not sure why people expected this to be good

tbh i really dont think theres anything wrong or controversial w/ the idea that your average person should consume less pornography and that their mental health would benefit from doing so
NPR framing this as an attack on masturbation rather than porn is fairly disingenuous tbqh
not as disingenuous as alt right dudes are as a baseline, but still not a good look imo

This is a good point, NPR definitely gets more clicks by framing it as a war against masturbation. But honestly, how many men can even bring themselves to orgasm with no porn and no fantasizing about a porn they just watched? Not many in this day and age.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qJHRvHU8IM

I like Andrew Huberman's view on it. Internet porn is a super stimulus, we didn't evolve for it, having 20 tabs open looking for the perfect video to finish to is not healthy. Its crazy how widespread the belief is now that social media is a major contributor to this explosion in mental health issues, but those same people will turn around and claim there is nothing wrong with doom scrolling internet porn.

I dont even think thats true, tbh.

the album most people wanted to win was SOS by SZA, which had more hits than Midnights, and may have even sold more (the metrics of measuring sales are murky now with streaming but the list I saw put SOS at #2 best selling album of 2023 and Midnights at #3)

AND it was more critically acclaimed, being rated higher, making and topping more year end lists, already winning other AOTY awards, etc

When Midnights came out, 9 of the Billboard top 10 songs were off the album. I am guessing SZA didn't have that impact. Midnights was the #1 album in 2022. Here is the list I found from Billboards for the top 10 albums of 2023:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/27d3d509.png

Rankings wise Midnights was in the 2022 lists while SZA was in 2023, so you can't quite compare them. Maybe its just because T Swifts old albums like Folklore and Lover were still somehow in the 2023 top 10, plus her re-released albums also being in the top 10 really made me overestimate the effects of Midnights specifically? But I don't even know what SZA is lol

Poor Morgan Wallen though he crushed both of them and didn't even get nominated lol

Since I got a Spotify account like 10 years ago I havent listened to the radio or any mainstream music at all, but no question Taylor Swifts album was way way way more impactful than whatever else was nominated

Luffy finally coming back and punching Kizaru to save Bonny is gonna be epic in the anime.

As far as Dorry and Brogy also knowing about Nika, I don't think that is too big of a stretch. We don't know much about the Giants but they do live for a long time, like 300 years. The "burned man" is probably Saul as well, who took all the books about the Void Century back to Elbaf. Dorry and Brogy were also just hanging out with Shanks who most likely told them to go to Egghead, I'm sure Shanks also knows about Luffy = Nika and also told them

$5 says they're all in the southern states, and a few midwest ones and has it pounded into their heads by racist ignorant family members and teachers.

Some other highlights from the poll:
-10% of Democrats think the Holocaust is a myth, compared to 6% of Republicans.
-11% of Democrats think the Holocaust was exaggerated, compared to 8% of Republicans
-19% of Democrats think Jews have too much power in America, compared to 12% of Republicans
-23% of Democrats think Israel exploits Holocaust victimhood for its own purposes, compared to 15% of Republicans.

Yup

They just took a generic sci fi script and slapped the Halo brand on it, the show is objectively trash.

They should have just adapted the first game into the first season, like The Last of Us. Andrew Garland (28 days later, Ex Machina) actually wrote a great script for a Halo movie that followed the first game, it basically turned into a horror movie after the big twist. Would have been a fantastic basis for a show.

Colombian you mean?

That is some cringey AF dialogue, but the bigger problem is they made Wonder Woman look hideous
