Totally gonna do this in the future

Not every kind gesture is flirting, my fellow cephalopod. Sometimes people do nice things to be nice. Telling someone that you hope their day goes well/improves is kind but it can feel insincere when it's stranger to stranger. Something small like a favorite candy bar is a more intentional way to do something nice

Federal THC ban send hemp companies scrambling

Reply in thread

Dumbass here (so please don't take my word as gospel),

What this is referring to are products that have intoxicating effects that are derived from hemp. Those products have less than 0.3% THC by weight so they could be manufactured and sold because of provisions in the 2018 bill. It's an entirely separate product from traditional marijuana. States that have legalized weed won't have the "normal" weed market impacted

‘Top Gun 3’ Officially in the Works With Tom Cruise Returning

The dark wizards have already worked this magic

Admittedly, I've not seen either Top Gun. Never really appealed to me. I do think it's sweet that he was able to be included in the last movie. I do have skin in the game, however, because I am a KNOWER of TRUTH. THE TRUTH is that Tombstone is one of the goddamn greatest movies of all time and that's in large part because of Kilmer's performance as Doc Holliday.

I'm not even a Western guy but this shit still blows my dick off every time I see it

I'm sure the computers can do a serviceable job of making a facsimile of an actor but the physicality won't be there. The person won't be there. Movies are better when real actors are on sets with people and interacting with the things the viewer will see. Even if there's a stand in for the digital "actor", things aren't gonna feel right. To quote the wise philosopher Harry S. Plinkett, "You might not have noticed it, but your brain did."

Star Fox Direct 6/5/2026

What if Assault is hidden away in the game too? In 64, players could unlock an on-foot multiplayer mode if they medaled all the planets. Maybe, just maybe, when those truly devoted to Mr. McCloud get all of the medals in the new one, on-foot multiplayer opens up with the entirety of Star Fox Assault's multiplayer.
