If we're lucky it'll be better than the Halo series. That's a damn low bar, though.

There's been a couple terrible trailers. If you use an ad blocker, don't have cable, and happened to miss the social media posts around when the trailers dropped, then there you go. Happens to me more and more these days.

Because the casting made it clear they aren't even trying to make a true adaptation is the games, so they aren't courting any Borderlands fans.

And everyone else is asking why they made this trashy, lame mad Max ripoff.

And it's not really appropriate for kids, so you can't even use it to make little Timmy shut up for 2 hours.

And there isn't a new game coming out (afaik) so no brand synergy.

They haven't given a single person a single reason to watch it except 'Kevin Hart is allegedly funny, right?'

Thought that was a jumbo box of magnum condoms for half a second... Still seems like a decent haul.

Which takes me to think, maybe there are things men need emotionally that women cannot provide, but I couldn't write a list.

You could probably write entire books and doctoral theses about this right here. In fact I'm sure people have.

I think, fundamentally, men need the same things women need: love, support, a sense of belonging, opportunities for self improvement, on top of all of Maslow's needs, and more. All things that are often denied to people for various societal and economic reasons. And some men will deny themselves these things because we are lied to about what will make us happy.

More than anything many men feel the need to be in control of all aspects of their life. Control their finances, their property, their spouse. But it's impossible to be always in control, so there will always be an angst there. Men who have everything they thought they needed to be happy, and still aren't, may sooner or later look for someone to blame. That makes then vulnerable to divisive rhetoric.

I've never been married but I am a man who, frankly, hasn't ever been very happy in life despite being loved by my family; yes I think a married person can feel very lonely.

It's been done; it's a grayish blue and a dark goldish brown. The lighting really messes with the coloring. Iirc the actually dress was discovered to be blue and black at some point.

I think they're just counting their blessings they aren't holding Intel stock rn

It seems a bit trickier, though

I was never under the impression that most mass shooters do it for fame or notoriety, but rather as revenge for some perceived injustice from society at large or by the particular community they attack.

Even still, it's very far from a healthy mindset.

For what it's worth, they'd never have caught him anyway

Almost a fair point; dems may not have rallied around Harris under other circumstances. But she's only formally run one other time and that was four years ago and against a former VP (Biden). Not quite the same situation today.

Also the line you quoted doesn't seem to have anything to do with the point you're trying to make.
