I was lucky enough to catch them live in the exmilitary era and it was awesome

materially speaking calculations sometimes change when one person involved is incredibly wealthy. he has surely tried it on with a much larger number than that.

It is a real thing in dating sites and whatnot that many ppl won’t date below a stated height threshold, in that sense it does literally add difficulty. I have been told “x would never date you, you’re too short” on a couple occasions and some other weird remarks over the years. but generally people who are going to filter potential partners by height are generally to be avoided anyway imo

I watched the entire thing. I feel dumber and less informed now than I was before watching. My conclusion: both candidates should be gently placed in a field and set upon by dogs or perhaps wolves.

I did notice one thing - in terms of correcting outright bullshit when possible and asking decent questions I thought the moderation was considerably better than the Biden-Trump one and it did not matter at all, because both candidates were doing the “answer the question you wish they’d asked” thing everyone has now internalized as the least risky way to handle these things. Harris did a slightly different version of this where she adds a “I’m gonna tackle that point by point” type preamble before not doing that.

OTOH at least two “Squad” members still backing him (AOC and Pressley)

There’s a general “gym rat” atmosphere to the job-workplace itself which suits me fine though I have like no spare energy to work out on top of doing 8-14 hour house moves. that said I don’t see myself going back to computer based work anytime soon, my body likes all this activity too much.

my actual recommendations are trying to sneak in some stretching every morning and lift with yr knees and things that aren’t your back as much as possible! also make sure you’re getting a lot of rest. I don’t seem as injury prone as some of my younger co-workers and I think they’re not getting enough sleep.

that sounds like hell, big panes of breakable material make me soooo nervous

it’s a reference to this Nathan For You episode

really enjoying it. the s2e7 antics made me want to revisit s1 again.

I have a source with knowledge of the artist and they are convinced they did this in a deliberately fucked up way just to fuck with the royals.

so what is being proposed here? prequel? sequel? “what if” where gollum gets to run off and open a diner?

nolan/joy should have been thrown in actual jail for how they ran that shit into the ground in record time

I found the pacing a little ponderous, also the cut-to-black structure reminded me of a much better show (scavengers reign) but overall I didn’t hate it. I do think nolan and co trip over themselves a bit trying to be too clever / subvert expectation, but not to an obnoxious westworld degree thankfully

point taken but I recommend not referencing the director of those movies in an even accidentally approving context ever

unfortunately the whole season mostly sucked, a few cool moments aside

It’s not a classic or anything (the whole scenario is pretty op only contrived) but it has some solid laughs, decent performances and doesn’t overstay its welcome. Obviously the social commentary is limited/lib AF but that comes with the territory. Sterling K Brown is really good and I’d like to see him get Supporting (to the extent that I care).

really really didn’t like it (and I’ve liked pretty much every other yogurt lanthimos joint). one or two-joke movie stretched to agonizing length. rehashed tim burton garbage aesthetic. one-note supporting characters they did nothing with over 140 mins. totally frictionless / conflict-free - everyone loves bella everywhere she goes and the pathetic men are obviously no match. also a small thing but the “means of production” shit was embarrassingly wrong. I did chuckle at willem dafoe saying “cocaine”

didn’t like oppy or barbie either but the trinity test was cool and I get nominating big well-liked event movies even if the america farrera monologue made me want to die

I’ve seen 8/10 of the best pic nominees and would rank them thusly

Zone of Interest > Holdovers > American Fiction > Killers of the Flower Moon > Anatomy of a Fall >>>>> Oppenheimer > Barbie > Poor Things

Poor Things and Barbie already have the same plot.
