TopicHow did I miss a follow up film for Heavy Metal 20 freaking years ago? Seriously

Yeah, I rewatched the first (Still freaking great) but only 10 minutes of the second was on youtube and I can't find it anywhere (other then bad sites/unlawful ones whatever). The 10 mins I saw wasn't very impressive though so I'm not gonna rent it or anything for now.

Soundtrack for the original rocked, the stories were great etc. Was nice to rewatch it after all this time.

Makes sense if it sucked that nobody would mention it. I'll still watch it sometime but I bet it'll be on a streaming service at some point (or crackle, it's normally on crackle but not right now).

WTH, I just decided I had not seen Heavy Metal in waaay to long, and checked amazon prime/netflix to see if it was available on either, and in the process found out they made a followup film that I never freaking saw.

I mean

How did I miss that? I think I may even actually watched the original since 2000 tbh, pretty sure I watched it at least once with my wife and we were married in 1999. Somehow, even having tons of nerdish friends, playing DnD for decades, MtG etc, I never once heard about the new film.

That is crazy. Now I just gotta find somewhere that is actually streaming it. Actually kinda wanna rewatch the first and then watch the second right away.

Freezing to death is actually fairly pleasant. You just sort of slowly go numb, drift off to sleep, and then just don't wake up.

For bonus points, you can accelerate the process and feel better on the way out if you get drunk.


Just be sure it's cold enough out cause the effects suck if you don't die. My brother was homeless in Nevada and slept outside but didn't die, he got severe frostburn though and lost some toes. Drifting off may be pleasant but if you wake up I'm guessing it really sucks.

Be happy Jen. If your not happy, do what you can to find happiness. Find a good friend to hang with for one, if you don't have one, that will prevent you from being lonely, and a good friend isn't going to "break up" with you. I think it's super hard with Covid anywhere, this is not when I would want to travel over seas that is for sure.

I would try as hard as you can to finish your degree now, and find things that make you happy, by yourself, or with new friends in the area (that may not have been couple friends you had with your ex before).

I know it's not always easy to find happiness, but putting it off for the future is not a good idea. Nobody knows what the future holds, so enjoy life as much as you can now, while doing what you can to prepare a happy future as well.

I got the flu shot once in the last 20 years. That year I had the flu. It is the only time I've had the flu in over 20 years. I know - blah blah anecdotal evidence blah blah - but I will never get the flu shot again.


Did you get it right after getting the shot?

I believe the shots basically give you a very weak strain of the flu, that your body is supposed to fight off, and therefore, have the anti-bodies to fight off the full strain in the future. The thing is there are multiple strains so the shot may not actually do anything for you, and even if it does, it may only reduce how severe the flu is (If I remember right).

In theory though, perhaps if you have not been exposed to the flu at all, or your immune system is compromised, you could get it even from the shot (no clue, but if you got it right after that would make that more likely).

I used to get the shot every year (I was a teacher) but since I'm avoiding all contact with people due to the virus, it makes absolutely no sense to go somewhere and expose myself potentially to the much more deadly virus, in order to get a flu shot that will only protect me from........getting a flu that is less communicable than the virus is.

The retail one is from a recent article I saw where employees were talking about frustrating experiences with customers. The employee basically had this woman come in, buy 300$ worth of crap, give him a ton of coupons and then returned it all right away (the dude was working the returns normally, but had opened up a register because there was no returns).

He refused and she asked for the manager, it was store policy so he had to accept the returns and refund her the full amount. So unless he was lying (always possible) it happens.

The baskin robins one is from 7 psychopaths (the movie) which I just watched, so may not be real, but, I have seen people get multiple tastes before (never all of them like in the movie lol). I've seen it also at frozen yogurt places (They have these little cups you can fill to taste the yogurts). In Gilroy we used to go to one,and I saw people trying multiple flavors like that (each was like 1/5th of a cone by itself, so if you did it with 5 flavors that was a full cone of frozen yogurt).

Netflix I know people who have done that. The one about birthdays was on facebook as well (some guy had a chart and 1 free something for every day of the year).

I have a friend who used to work for gamestop that does the whole used game thing all the time. HE says it actually helps the stores.

The only one on the list I have done myself is the Taco bell one lol. It was literally the only thing I liked at taco bell (havn't done it for a few years). I do really like their sauces, seriously, more than the sauces I buy at the store (which is what I have done recently). I miss their sauces but I just can't stand their food.

Yeah, eggs used to make me sick, even if I didn't know eggs were in something, which happened alot, I guess over time my body just figured I was an total moron because I kept eating stuff that made me really sick, and evolved to deal with it.

I still can get sick if I eat alot of eggs, but I can eat a whole boiled egg just fine now and not get sick afterwards. Pretty much needs to be cooked though, raw egg, or undercooked egg is still really bad.

I hated mushrooms as well (didn't have an allergic reaction) but now I love them. I may no longer have as bad of a reaction to coconuts as I used to, but I still totally and completely avoid them. Unlike eggs that is pretty easy to do, so I don't think I have developed a tolerance at all.

Hehe, I know. There was a rumor years ago that the flu shot could actually make you allergic to eggs though. I think they did ask if you were allergic to eggs before giving you the flu shot and that is probably where the rumor started.

I WAS allergic to eggs (Still can make me sick, but not nearly as bad) but never had a problem with getting the flu shot.

If you apply a tax for a specific reason and it needs to be voted in, then that tax DOES need to be used for that reason. Like the 12% tax over 400k, is specifically used for social security as an example.

And it's not being robbed, I have friends who make a ton of money and think that way, but you are literally doing a job (those that even work mind you, some of the richest people don't work at all but make more than 99% of americans), and getting paid (in this case) over 400k a year for it. Your not working 4x as many hours as the average American and certainly not more then 8x as many hours.

I get what your saying about having control on how you spend things, but at least in theory we, the people, should have some control over how taxes are spent, and should be able to control those taxes by voting etc. If we voted in taxes to go towards building new hospitals, and building up our infrastructure, that is where the taxes would go, and we SERIOUSLY need both of those, more in some areas than others, but pretty much universally.

Right now, most of that is based on STATE taxes and spending, many hospitals are actually based on donations etc (Even while making wealthy people exceedingly more wealthy). The main hospital in Gilroy for instance was a charity based hospital that closed down because of lack of funding. In the 2 areas I have lived in the last decade or so, 3 hospitals have closed and no hospitals have opened. In both areas schools have also closed (especially back in CA, where 3 schools had closed and there was a huge line of teachers looking for positions and our classrooms were all over 40 students).

Nobody likes taxes, but again, we are talking about taxing income over 400k, past the point of needing money at all for even a very luxiourious lifestyle. Even as you mentioned, saving for retirement, if your making over 400k, it takes like a year or two at that rate to have enough money to retire on just from interest etc.

What is more, by taxing income over 400k, you could reduce taxes for those making less than $100k, reducing the burden on those who barely have enough. Honestly as screwed up as our system is you really shouldn't tax people making less that 24k a year at all, straight up. Right now that is basically the case for the first 12k a person makes and 24k if filing jointly (and a bit more if you have dependants), but I'd say even a single person needs the full 24k to survive/live now adays per year, and min wage many places doesn't even reach that (8$ and hour * 120 hours= $960 a month, or about 12k a year. No taxes (other than SS) on that, but that is still 10%, and rent most places is still close to $1k a month now).

There is no easy fix, but yeah, taxing people making well over a comfortable amount per year, is a pretty easy solution that doesn't really hurt anyone, and helps a ton of people.

If you make 800k a year, and you get taxed an extra 12% on income over 400k, that is about 50k less you'll have at the end of the year. That seems like alot, but your still rocking over 1/2 a mill each year after taxes....more than enough to do anything you want, and honestly the number of people making between 400k and 1 mill a year are pretty small, most people making over 400k are making much more than a mill a year, and wouldn't even really notice the extra taxes (other than it just being less numbers going into their bank accounts).

That doesnt really make sense. They can always donate to make sure the money actually goes to things that can help people if they want instead of going to the government who can do whatever they want with the money... And it probably wont get used on the stuff you want it to get used on if the government gets it... But most people dont just want to pay more money in taxes because they make more. They earned their money, which is more than others, so its theirs. But they can always donate if they think they have more than enough. Forcing them to pay more taxes would kind of suck for them...


Many things are not in effect because we don't have the money/taxes for it. You don't take taxes for nothing, so if you are going to tax more, it has to be for a set reason, IE better healthcare or Social security, affordable housing etc.

Donating yourself isn't really donating most of the time as it's a tax deduction, it's one of the large loopholes that the rich use (often donating to trusts or organizations under their control or that hires friends/family etc (and pays them alot with the donations) etc. Donating if you are taking the basic exemption...that is donating, donating when your itemizing and using the donations to offset what you pay, is just at best controlling where your taxes go (and quite often is avoiding paying taxes at all and diverting the money to relatives and friends).

Why is education for profit in this country? We could easily make it free and pay for it with taxes (and it would use WAY less taxes then we currently are basically using with student loans that won't get paid back in fact).

Why is healthcare for profit, it could be paid for by taxes again, and again would be WAY cheaper (even then what we pay right now just for ER etc).

More taxes (without really hurting anyone that is paying it, since it would be top end taxes over say $400k a year), enable alot of things that people struggle with right now, to be free, and not so inneficient cost wise.

But the exact reasons mentioned above (for profit) is why most of that won't happen, and why most politicians won't fight for it, because more taxes don't just hurt the wealthy directly, but also indirectly by providing services they currently charge an arm and a leg for (and make billions of dollars each year from), like healthcare, education, prisons etc.

Provide that with taxes and you stop a bunch of very rich people from making tons of money, and they have all the power, so how will that ever actually come to pass if the people who actually have the power don't want it.

But the underlying question is.....should people with so much, contribute to society to ensure people who don't have much have at least a basic happy life, with healthcare then can rely on, free education for their children at least so they can hopefully get jobs they like, housing they can afford etc?

Donating to organizations doesn't really help, or at least I have not seen it helping. Changing laws, making things like healthcare free etc, that would help. Making more hospitals available so people don't get turned away, that would help. Allowing people to go to college without wracking up so much debt they can never get out from under it, and some just kill themselves because of it eventually, that would help.

Donations, charitable orginizations etc, are great, and can be done on top of everything else, but honestly, we should have a system that ensures everyone has the ability to have a good, safe life at least in this country and eventually throughout the world. We have the technology to ensure that is true easily, so it's only greed at this point that is holding us back.

I get everything else youre saying in your post and ideally thats how it should be (props to u btw for all that) but I think youre in the overwhelming minority on this point .

im nowhere near 400k a year but even my eyes water at some of the tax deducted from my payslip. Your argument is hes got enough money so he should want to pay more taxes. nah man, I genuinely dont know anyone who would want to pay more taxes


I get I'm not normal, but honestly I have made over 60k before (back when that was actually a decent amount...IE over 10 years ago), and even at just that amount (which isn't really considered that much), I saved alot because I just didn't see what spending more money would accomplish. I had 2 cars, lived in a nice house, ate the food I wanted when I wanted. I didn't get to go on vacations, not because of money, because I was working too much. I just didn't have TIME to spend more money.

Now it's true, I did spend time after work volunteering for a wellness center, or later when planning on going back to college, I volunteered at El Roble after school (which actually ended up getting me my first teaching position even before I got a degree or credentialed in CA), I could have done other things with my time that were more expensive etc.

But yeah, how do people (well back then) spend over 4k a freaking month? I get that now many places your rent can be half that, and the cost of everything has gone up drastically, but back then I seriously couldn't spend more then 2k if I tried.

So yeah, I mean, if I was making freaking more than 5x that much, and someone said "We want you to pay extra taxes over 400k a year, but it will go towards improving the infrastructure (better roads, less traffic, better public transportation), it'll keep people out of jail and prevent people from suffering and it will help provide more healthcare services for everyone. I sure as hell would ALWAYS have been down for that, even if it was just for income back then over 60k, hell I'd have been down for it if it was for income over 40k back then and would have reduced how much I had to spend myself (because as I stated, I had more than I needed).

Everyone doesn't have to be like that, but yeah, if it was me, that is for sure how I would have been, and I still think most people should feel that way for income over 400k. You can either have a tiny bit more (as far as what you can afford/do yourself), or you can help a ton of people have a ton more because they are barely struggling to survive.

But yeah, I get thats not how most humans think. I'm really sad about that, but I get it.

Take a bunch of hot sauce packets from Taco bell when you order 1 taco (efficient, and their sauces are yummy).
Go to baskin robins and sample a ton of different flavoes and buy none (basically getting your ice cream fix for free).
Sign up for monthly free streaming sites like netflix over and over with different emails each time.
Use multiple email accounts to create profiles with different birthdays for free meals/deserts every week.
Buy a ton of stuff using coupons at certain stores and then return it all (at full price).
Buy all of an item that is in high demand, used online, then once you have a monopoly sell them for 2x as much.
Keep buying used games at gamestop and returning them 7 days later for a full refund.

I mean.........

If you make more than 400k a year, do you REALLY need to worry about being taxes 40% or 52% etc?
Money is great, but at some point shouldn't you start thinking about society as a whole and how improving it will probably ALSO improve your own life more than another couple hundred K a year will?

As far as the rate, you have state taxes to add in some places, but the base max tax rate I believe under Bidens plan is 39.6% with 12.4% for social security over 400k a year. That is 52% total, and only on income over 400k.

So yeah, if you ask me, any decent human being making more than 400k a year should want something along those lines, you still get tons of money coming in (many of them millions, some of em billions) but you help support the system and make it a better world for everyone.

I've made decent money before in my life and I would have been happy to pay more taxes on the top end of my income in order to ensure everyone had a safe place to live, health care, free schooling, less people in prison, good mental health etc. I certainly never made anywhere near over 400k a year though, at that point I would probably start my own foundation to help people directly (which btw I have done in my life even though I have never made over $100k a year, I have both finacially helped and volunteered to help people with my time and effort).

You can vote for who you want, you are free to believe what you want, but if you ask me if people should be willing to vote for someone who is going to make them pay more in taxes if they make over 400k (and mind you only on the income over 400k), then my answer is YES. If they are not monsters or extremely selfish, then YES they should.

New to the area so don't now anyone. Add in the virus and have not socialized in the last year. Looking for friends, but open to more eventually (not into hookups).

Love watching movies shows/playing games, reading, cooking, eating. Want to travel but would prefer to do it with a friend. Love kids (Was a teacher).

Financially stable, but not working right now. Have a good sense of humor and fun and am looking for friends or someone to enjoy life with.

Favorite Author is Jim Butcher.

Also added Tom Petty's Free Fallin as my anthem. Added dogs/cats/tea/gamer as my likes.

Need to take and add more pics in the future, but that should do for now.

Steamboat Island north of Olympia WA. Not many people within 10 miles of me, it's a 20-30 min drive into town (Olympia). I also don't like driving at night, so yeah, socializing is gonna be a real pain out here. I doubt there is anyone else on the island on tinder, but who knows.

Even if it's someone in Olympia though, that would be worth the drive into town just to hang out etc. As far as the virus, It's been a year at this point (I got Pnuemonia back in late Nov, Early December of last year) since I have socialized. I am high risk, but eventually you go freaking insane like this. I have barely talked to a person in real life for a very long time. I can have a few friends I hang out with and still be pretty safe.

You know, contrary to Helly's claim I started posting here in 2018.


I believe I started posting within a few months of gamefaqs going live. This user name started in Dec 2001, but that is only because back then they deleted your account if you didn't post for a year, and it had been over a year since I posted (so I had to make a new account).

I "think" my first account was made in 96 but I'm not 100% sure, but I can say without a doubt that I wasn't ever moderated with that account (it was the account I made most of my FAQs for games with).

This account was mainly known for my D2 FAQs and guides back in the day, and I posted on this board as well all the way back then (and hence got some moderations, I think I was even put in like a limbo or something where I couldn't post for awhile (suspended or something?) along time ago.

POTD was always a bad influence on me back in the day, I was younger and sometimes I would get a bit extreme in my opinions etc, and actually post things that should have been moderated etc.

Now I rarely do, but sometimes things can be taken the wrong way etc, and sometimes I still joke but in a way that could be offensive etc.

Still pretty crazy I have been posting on here for close to 25 years at this point.

I actually just today met this 43 year old Korean guy who I'm talking to. He said he'll help me with my Korean. I told him I'm not interested in men with kids but he said we can just be friends since we were enjoying chatting.


That is awesome, actually friends would be great for me, i'm out on an island and freaking bored out of my skull, have not socialized in a year at this point. Would love to just meet some friends in the area, don't care about the gender, but I am not comfortable putting bi on my profile to try and meet cool guys that wanna be friends lol.

WTH, I freaking put 15 miles radius on my tinder profile thing and it's still showing me people mostly 30+ miles away.

I was wrong though, heck most people my age don't look as old as me I guess. So it's just me that looks old (to be fair it auto-set my age range as 35-60 but most are in the late 30's-40's).

Lots of very attractive girls but most of em are in tacoma or further away (which would have been fine when I lived in Tacoma but now it's a good hour drive each way and can be much more due to the base in between here).

I don't wanna date someone that lives far enough away I wouldn't commute to work.

Btw, is Tinder just for hookups or actual dating as well, I didn't think about that, I don't like hook ups. It let me put myself down as straight and demisexual though, so I think that makes it pretty apparant I don't wanna just hook up.

I get moderated every once and awhile for things I should totally not be moderated for, but I just shrug and accept it. There are mods, they have a job to do and if they mod something silly, it's not worth fighting about.

Not like any of our posts are gonna change lives or something.

Yeah It's a greta game I have had since early beta (maybe it was even alpha at first shrug). I've played it a ton, but not since it actually released. I keep meaning to give it a solid go, since new stuff was added, but I get distracted.

It's up there with my most favorite 2d side scrollers though.

No Trump didnt make America great.

The only thing that I want is free healthcare but Bernie is gone.


Free healthcare isn't enough, we need more resources. My wife didn't die because of the cost of healthcare (though the insurance companies sure made our lives more miserable), she died because the hospitals near us were full up from the flu, they even had a tent setup that was full, and she had to be transfered all the way to another state for dialysis. She got a infection in her heart in the process and died from that. If there had been room here (we waited a week for her to be admitted) she would have been fine.

So we need more than free healthcare, we need MORE hospitals, and to invest more money in good healthcare for everyone (while also making it free). Obama set up a plan, but without increasing the amount of resources we had to go with it, it actually probably ended up causing more deaths over all.

I certainly am pro universal free healthcare, but we NEED more resources as well, and honestly first since most/many of the people who need healthcare now, currently have it through obamacare already.

its the collective voice that matters, and the more people that use that voice the better the actual representation
Yeah but the collective voice is stupid as hell because the average human being is a dumb fuck.


Except it's not the collective voice that matters, we are not a republic, we are controlled by the rich and wealthy and always have been. Anything else is just an illusion we have been fed. Other then FDR the majority has basically been ignored and abused throughout American history, certainly within my lifetime they have.

IF you don't have any control over who runs the government, who the options are for you to vote on, then you have no voice. We don't get to vote in school teachers, firemen, people who actually put society first before profit. Only the rich and wealthy are options, and they take care of their own.

I would say there are certainly some dictators that would run a better, more fair, government than we do, because in that case it's up to the morals and beliefs of one person, and there is more of a limit on greed. Here you have thousands and thousands of greedy people willing to take from the masses, with the power to do so.

Voting should be from grass roots up at this point with presidential candidates being grown in each state, and possibly starting in each country of the state, have online digital elections to determine each tier of candidate until you come down to only 2 choices for the entire nation and the popular vote wins it period.

THAT would still not neccesarily be a democracy (still could be a republic) but at least we would choose our own representatives. People would feel like their choices matter, because they would. People who are actually good/caring and in tune with average american lives would end up running things.

We live in a time, and a country, where everyone could live like kings or at least REALLY REALLY well. There is little need for manual labor if time/energy is used to automate most things. Citizens would either not need to work, or work less than 30 hours a week (generally because they want to, and for extra money for pleasure/travel etc). If the wealth of the top 2% were spread across the rest of the nation I believe the numbers state every single american would be getting over 100k a year without working an hour (just based on interest etc).

We have not had an administration that built/focused on our infrastructure in my lifetime, that is freaking crazy. We have not seen great improvements in the low/middle classes standard of living either, even while technology has advanced insanely fast. People are more likely to die today then 20 years ago because of medical issues, not because medicine hasn't improved, but because we have less facilities/staff per citizen than we used to (many hospitals have closed, instead of having more of them to deal with larger populations). Education has more than quadrupled in cost not just within my lifetime, but since I graduated from freaking highschool lol. Meanwhile that education means far less as well, making tons of people end up in serious debt.

We need a great president and administration. We need something that will inspire Americans and make everyone feel good about their country and their future. We don't have one, and we won't have one in the near future. With the negatives going on in the world right now, we have never needed one as badly as we do. I feel so sorry for the young who look forward to a future with global warming, pandemics, housing crisis, job instability and a ton of other problems. At least when I was a kid we just worried about being nuked and instantly killed, which at this point sometimes seems like the good old days sadly.

In a way I kinda feel like the trump presidency might be an overall good thing in the long run, simply because I think maybe it woke a lot of people up and made them realize that if they dont vote or dont make their voices heard we end up with situations like the 2016 candidates

I voted this time, but there are many like me who basically have given up on politics all together, no longer feel like they really have any choice, or that there is even a big diff between the options.

I will probably still vote in the future since it's not a big effort, but it wasn't just this last election that dissillusioned me to the process, it's been going on for decades and that was just the last straw.

True, and I wish you the best at it.

Actually I jumped around from watching one show to another and didn't settle on anything. I did at least finish watching season 2 of The Boys, so that was something. Can't seem to get into The expanse (though it does seem good), Jack ryan season 2, Hanna season 2 or Upload. I think I'm TV showed out:(

Also it's cold as fuck out so I don't even wanna bbq because it's like 32 out there right now (will be 28 later).

If she is your fiance how is she going to take everything from you? Even if you were married in most states she couldn't do that.

Anyway nothing in life is worth living with someone like that, and if she is threatening you then obviously she doesn't love you.

Leave, start over if you have to, and find someone you actually are happy with.

After my wife passed, for about a year afterwards I would forget things like that, I stopped cooking much because I was afraid I'd burn down the house by accident. Also my hearing and sight would just totally go out sometimes as well. That stopped eventually though and I have not had a problem with leaving the stove on in a few years now. It was crazy for awhile though.

I posted all the free games I have on epic awhile ago. It's like $1000 worth of games or something. Yeah, about half of em I already owned on steam, but it's still hundreds of dollars of games, many of them very good ones.

The sad thing is I have never bought anythign from the epic store. I really need to some day. I also have not really PLAYED any of the free games from the store either because I have too many on steam in my backlog lol.

So I don't feel too bad about all the free games since I have not played any of em yet.

Still I got most of my friends to start getting them free as well a year or so ago. They really do give away a ton of good stuff.
