It was pretty bad. It had, like, years of build up that didn't feel like it was going anywhere, tied into a previous fantastic Thor story for no particular reason, and completely changed the lore of the symbiotes (again). All to bring in a really generic big bad who *minor spoilers* stomps on every hero as soon as he gets to Earth just to show he's a super real threat guys I promise. I didn't read much more of it because it felt have a dozen stories they've done already recently. Unless you're super invested in Venom and caught up on his previous stories, don't bother.

And I'm not just saying that because priority one seems to be making Kong look like a chump next to Godzilla.
Why do people keep saying this? Kong literally turned Godzilla into a side character of his own universe. And the fights they had with each other were very careful to make sure neither one of them came out as clearly superior. They powered Kong way up to even be anywhere close to Godzilla who should have been able to blast his ass six ways to sundown.

I think its largely that mentally stable people dont go into every conversation worried about their flaws. Narcissistic do that too, but theyre usually overcompensating so its obvious in other ways.

Im a horribly flawed individual, but its not going to be something I type in every post or leave as a signature. Maybe youre talking to someone who is concerned or trying to mask their flaws? Oryou know, a troll, you already had one in this topic.
This. Everyone is flawed to some degree but mine are so minimal that it's not something that takes an active part in everything I say and do and I certainly don't post here with the voice of my flaws.

Okay, a question:
How long is "very recently"?
Because the The Bajau people, often referred to as Sea Nomads, have lived an entirely marine-dependent existence, traveling the Southeast Asian seas on houseboats for over 1,000 years.

Also, the Bajau have genetic differences leading to diving-related phenotypes, specifically an enlarged spleen caused by a mutation on the PDE10A gene.
So a very small group that has specifically divergent evolutionary traits giving them an upper hand at swimming?

Apparently it's not a natural instinct. Humans are not designed for swimming and have never had a major interest in it until very recently. The majority of the world can't actually swim. It's just so ubiquitous in the first world that we don't think about a lot of people not having access to places where they could even learn.

I really like seeing success stories like this and Cyberpunk.

And anyone who still harbors a weird grudge against these things needs to take a deep breath.

That's what I'm asking. There's been nothing but bitching and moaning about CE "dying" and how there's going to be a mass exodus, but has anyone actually been able to drag themselves away? It seems like most people here are addicted to this place.

how is he gimmicky? why is okay for other directors to have a certain style, but when Wes Anderson does it it's considered pretentious and cringe? Can't like a Wes Anderson film without being called a tryhard hipster.

Who even says this? He's a well lauded director. But his style is much more of a gimmick than other directors because it's so extreme and completely saturates his movies. You can take any single frame and tell it's a Wes Anderson movie vs other directors that just like a certain lighting style, or have a proclivity for long takes. It's one of his biggest strengths and weaknesses.

Seriously. Tubi is probably my favorite overall site because it's got stuff other sites wouldn't touch and it's completely free. I get it doesn't have a whole lot of mainstream appeal but they do still host a good number of blockbusters and stuff. But if you're into obscure stuff or B movies it's a must.

Apart from that, just because they're more narrow, it's either criterion or I get shudder every october.

I like living in NYC so far (about 6 weeks) but I still wouldn't want to do it long term. People talk about how you can find anything you want at any time but the only things around here are shitty corner stores and smatterings of pizza, and Mexican food, and a few other things. Even the couple of grocery stores around here have awful produce and less selection combined than a local Harris Teeter back in SC. I have to take a 20 minute subway ride to get to anything of real note. And it's not like I live way out in the Bronx or something. I'm on the upper east side. And it is absolutely fucking filthy.

Honestly that sounds pretty cool. Can't think if Neeson has ever done a comedy before but I can picture him in the role.

Dan Gregor, Doug Mand and Akiva Schaffer, the trio behind the live-action film Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers, penned the script with contributions from Seth MacFarlane, Mark Hentemann and Alec Sulkin. Akiva will direct.

This however, has me right out. Way too many cooks in the kitchen, and they're all SNL and Family Guy writers? You can fuck right off with that.

Because unless you're the most conservative of conservatives, no one cares.

If an adult stumbles upon it, they either go "oh, that's odd" and move on, or are into it and seek out more videos.

So the concern then falls on whether it is age-appropriate material. Otherwise it's just needless pearl clutching.
It's not even about prudishness. These women are gaming the system and pretending to be actual content creators in order to sell porn. How is that not strange to you? Complaining about "twitchthots" is all the rage. Why are they protected on youtube?

stuff.
A lot of this is true. Youtube is just from a different time period of the internet compared to modern streaming and social media. Everything on the internet used to just be free and no one could have predicted the insane growth Youtube would have over a couple decades. So going from this old school video sharing site to the one and only content creation site like it on the web, there's no great turning point for where and how it should change. They're free to host ads just as much as I'm free to block them. Eventually one side or the other will give in, but until then, there's no easy transition to a traditional paid platform.

And my personal perspective, Youtube is one of the biggest sites on the web, owned by one of the biggest companies in the world. With the various behind the scene ad deals they have, investors, and the pure ubiquitousness of the site, there's no way they're hurting for money enough that they are forced to change to a full premium model.
