Really?

A montage of people enjoying the product, doing all the things you love to do in life (according to them), without seeing any specifications of the product, doesn't work?

I'm shocked!

My cat just shits shit. Sometimes is liquid shit. I don't know what you're sighing for.

I went to court once because the morning after a party, I still blew just over 0.05.

While there, I saw a guy who had his lawyer dad there speaking for him. The guy was in stopped traffic, mounted a sidewalk, hit a child on their bicycle, and fled the scene, later telling his dad who called the police.

He got a 1 year suspension on his licence, no jail time, and fine like 900€. I remember hearing the person behind me say, "Fucking bullshit" as we waited for our turn.

In comparison, I got 300€ and a six month suspension, no record. I was told it would be worse, but it was clear that I was unaware that I may have still had alcohol in my system. Which is true, because I stopped and went to bed early, knowing I had to be up early to drive to the markets.

Apparently I could've also hit children and sped off the road to get around traffic for just 600€ more...

I forget there's a subculture of strangers that decide the not masturbate for a month, in solidarity, for no reason at all.

The idea that someone takes it so seriously that they include it under the Achievements section of their resume. And one day, finally, the hiring manager is a fellow cultist.

Yes! Both terminators were so weirdly inhuman without being inhuman. And it was the 1980s and they just kind of nailed that with total realism that had no reason for being as good as it was.

It was like a new chapter of sci-fi really leaning into the realistic expectations of the future instead of the fantastical versions. It's the same reason why Bladerunner was so good and stood the test of time. No bullshit interpretation. Just, "Everyone calm down about your ideas of the future. What would actually happen? How would this thing actually be if it really happened?"

I just rewatched this a couple months ago. Now I want to watch it again. T2 is one of the all-time greats of cinema history. Arny is awesome in the role, the story is excellent, the directing is perfect. Edward will forever be John Connor with every other actor doing their best to fit his character, because that's John.

You are right. T1 would've been what T2 was if it had T2's budget and backing. T1 was so good that is started the hype train and we got T2 for it.

They're both excellent, but T2 got the attention the idea deserved from the beginning and they made the most of it.

Hollywood makes "This is why we can't have nice things" a reality.

Yeah. As society becomes more complex, maturity and preparedness comes much later. "Growing up" takes much longer.

Go back a thousand years, things were much simpler. There was less to navigate and learn so "the real world" started much earlier.

Look at any other creature without society and see how their life unfolds. They're "adult" very quickly because within a short time they've got enough figured out to go out into the world alone.

Meanwhile, we're now at a point where it's normal to have a first child in the 30s and 40s, feeling completely unready.

I'm actually surprised at the reactions.

This is a very, "Yeah..." thing.

Maybe it's people's concept of time is centred around the ego. Like, they don't realise how short 80 years is. That's only 80 orbits 🤣

Wait until you find out the dinosaurs were basically "yesterday" in Earth's timeline.

We're very brief. "Life's short" isn't just some quirky saying.

I'm low maintenance because it's a pain in the arse when others are involved.

I think you might not be entirely sure what ego is/means. "Egotistical" derived from it, but they're not the same thing.

Otherwise, you're basically just saying what I said.

cough ....Worth...it... splutter

You'd think as a climber, I know a lot of knots, but I don't know this one. In fact I only know the figure 8, bowline, how to tie a prusik, and a reef, which I usually fuck up first go.

Basically, don't ask a rock climber to help out with knots unless your life depends on it, then you're good.

Sounded like the kind of knot that's good for climbing. Bomb proof and easy to untie. So I looked it up and it does indeed get used, but it looks too complicated, so risky. Never seen it done, but also, never seen anyone risk tying two ropes together. I'd rather anchor in and wait for a rescue.

Yeah, right? Unless she's commuting several hours a day with a horse trailer, that thing permanently lives in gutted out apartment or small warehouse. It hasn't had grass under its hoofs ever and it barely gets to see it because of the blinders. So healthy. Probably can't run well or for far because it just doesn't know open space and roam.

Kind of okay with the lost city of Trumpis.

Seeing him avoid going to the UK because Trump going transtrumpic.

Because gender is a social concept, here's the thing about anything gender-related; it doesn't exist until you're told about it.

What this person is ironically pointing out is that their children's lack of knowledge on the topic would've made them better at discerning a vote based on policy and skill, not on social identifiers based on the physical form one occupies.

spits tooth... "Your mum."
