USians are too entitled to be called anything else besides American

I know they're popular but they've never clicked for me, any kind of ranting YouTubers are just not my thing

Buddy, you are eating gruel. Putting some seeds on it upgrades you from peasant to bird at best

I like how 99% of discussions right now refer to the villain as "the villain" because she was so forgettable we don't remember her name

So you have no interest in this Aang remake?

Nope. Cartoon was great, what's the point in watching the exact same story play out again just because it's not animated?

Zikten posted...

I want both. A remake of korra would be just as fun as this upcoming one

But why is the same thing but in live action worth watching?

Smashingpmkns posted...

They're making animated stuff for Paramount+ iirc.

Exactly. Why do people want live-action adaptions when they're making more content in a medium that's already well regarded?

Ivynn posted...

Still wary since the original creators dropped out because of creative differences but we'll see. Looks pretty at least.

At this point it's pretty clear that they got a better offer from Paramount and chose that instead of repeating the same thing, which is far more interesting anyway to me than watching the same thing but in live action

There's only like five good movies in the entire MCU but people have been eating them up for over a decade, now with a female lead they're suddenly able to tell the quality is shit

The only good parts of the movie are the beginning after the party, just seeing the team goof around each other, and in the final battle where Hawkeye has his speech to Wanda

It's far more likely he stumbled upon her dead body and freaked out, then was advised to lie because he shouldn't be connected to the crime scene

Not a good look if true. It's very easy for celebrities to discount rumors and allegations, imagine reading a headline about yourself that's completely false -- it'd make you suspicious of everything.
Gotta be hard, they were coworkers on That 70's Show, opened a restaurant in LA together, and went on to do The Ranch. I'm sure they were genuinely friends and a lot of people have issues with writing off friends entirely.

Just sucks because it discounts so much of Kutcher's work, hopefully this is not true or taken out of context.

Just from the way you're writing about her, you can tell TC doesn't take her autonomy seriously.

it feels so...selfish of her. She's worked a lot on herself but not much on us. That feels unfair.

pedro45 posted...

I really don't think she's thought this through longterm.

pedro45 posted...

i don't feel like she's completely thinking this through.

pedro45 posted...

She follows trends a lot and can get sucked into them.

Just from the way these are written, I wouldn't want to be with someone who thinks so little of me. Especially if she's been focusing on herself (which is a good thing and something everyone should be doing, including you TC)

Why were you going to couples therapy in the first place?
Sometimes people change, they grow, etc. It sucks but it's also life, if you really care for her you wouldn't want to hold her back

Swear if that Metamorphosis came out today people would accuse Kafka of having a bug fetish or something.

I mean, that's still not impossible

Obvious to everyone that he's a piece of shit trying to create a narrative that she's an awful mother

Basically the same reason when Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello got divorced.

No, Sofia has been very clear she does not want any more children and he was butthurt about it

tl;dr: a kid will eat a cookie I leave out, even with me knowing that doesn't take away from the choice

Doesn't seem too complicated. Break it down:
Senior = Longest time with the company or negotiated a higher pay than their coworkers
Continuous Improvement = Engineer role focused on improving efficiency
Manager = More responsibility than others or a BS role used to extract more labor out of an employee

Really the only issue is the middle section if you're not familiar with engineering or kaizen, lean, six sigma, etc.

It's a scummy practice but also, gamers are dumb enough to pay it so why not get some extra cash for no extra work?

Speaking of bizarre responses.

What exactly is fun/good/goofy about the fall of the Jedi?

Not familiar with the literal hundreds of memes from the movie?

indica posted...

Bizarre response that doesn't relate to anything I said, but I love character driven TV when it's actually got interesting characters with depth and isn't stupid as fuck >_>

Yeah, the issue is that it's both not fun and not good. Something fun like RotS is still good even if it's goofy, something serious and character driven like Andor is good even without lightsabers and the force.
Stuff like Mando and Ashoka are just boring

I was shooting heroin and reading The Fountainhead in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.
Bad news, detective. We got a situation.
What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?
Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars worth of bitcoins.
The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?
Not yet. But mark my words: were going to figure out who did this and were going to take them down provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.
Easy, chief, I said. Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.
He laughed. Thats why youre the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.
Dont worry, I said. Im on it.
I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.
Home Depot Presents the Police! I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. Nobody move unless you want to! They didnt.
Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime? No one spoke up.
Come on, I said. Dont you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?
It didnt seem like they did.
Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, Im just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.
Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didnt care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.
I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.
Subway Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag! I yelled.
Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.
Stop right there! I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.
I was losing him. Listen, Ill pay you to stop! I yelled. What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? Ill offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn Bob Barr 08 extra-large long-sleeved mens T-shirt!
He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.
All right, all right! the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.
Whyd you do it? I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs on the guy.
Because I was afraid.
Afraid?
Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers, he said. Im a central banker.
I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.
Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street, I said. No matter how many bitcoins you steal, youll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.
He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.

is this the last movie for that Amber heard ho?

She moved out of the country. Regardless of how people feel about Heard, her daughter is innocent and deserves to live a life where she won't be bothered

I built my first PC last week and MSI Afterburner clocks it at 40-45 degrees when just browsing. Been playing BG3 and it gets up to 70-75 during some cutscenes. Is that ok?
It's a 4080

Rinsing before putting in dishwasher wastes more water and time than just placing directly into the dishwasher, unless you've got an old appliance it'll be able to clean your dishes easily

Shippers make everyone gay even if they're obviously not gay. That's just "more evidence" that they're secretly gay.

Nah I get that. I was fairly active on Potter forums 15-20 years ago and it was generally accepted he was written as an "eccentric lifelong bachelor" which was interpreted as an older gay man.

It was a popular fan theory that he was gay for years before she announced it.

White savior movie starring a woman who married a literal Nazi.

It's serviceable. Even accepting that it's a kids movie, it's still not near the top

what exactly does qualified immunity include?

Basically when a cop fucks up they can't be held liable if they believe they were acting in good faith. This is true of all people who work for the government, you can't sue a building inspector who missed something when signing off on the code.
This leads me to believe we should reduce what constitutes good faith as opposed to QI as a whole

Yeah, I know it's got a few 'better' options than you'd need but for comparison this was what I was building before I saw those kits: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4bbZL9

I think there's a point with the shapeshifted bear. Why is it acceptable for a character to have sex with an NPC who can transform into a bear but not an NPC who can transform into a child? Both are gross but one gets "haha so quirky" reactions and the other one gets disgust

General Audiences don't care about "soft reboot versus hard reboot" and don't get twisted out of shape like dweebs on the internet do about keeping the same actor and changing others

Do ads even work? Like how many of you have bought something you randomly saw on an ad?

They definitely work. The fact you don't think they do means they're even more effective

Would it help if they just hid the fees in the ticket price and list it at $306?
