In their defense, Republicans also hate the south. They just lie to their faces about it

No, it's basically the same thing as Carl Sagan's cosmic calendar

It's got real Stefon energy. "A long, long time ago, say... Monday"

September 19th according to the trailer. I'm not sure if that's Japan or global though

It tracks Mr Fantastic has a high win rate, I swear he's tankier than some of the actual tanks. Fuck is he annoying to deal with

Looks like this was Danny Boyle week for me:

Brokeback Mountain 4.5/5: what a beautiful tragedy. It's one of those movies where you don't really fault anyone for their behavior despite the fact that it keeps making everyone's lives a little more miserable

M3GAN 2.0 4/5: I know everyone is comparing this to T2 but honestly it felt like more like the Scary Movie: Mission Impossible (Movie: Impossible?) which is a compliment. Still very funny and I like them mostly ditching the horror elements

Yesterday 2.5/5: I think this had opportunity but by bailing on The Beatles music and making it a goofy love story I think it kinda loses the plot

28 Days Later 3.5/5: I got the whole "people are the real monsters" message but I still didn't think this really nailed it

28 Weeks Later 3/5: Once again, I understand what political point it's making, it's just not as smart as it thinks it is

USS Callister: Into Infinity 4/5: Look, if TV shows are going to be movie length I'm going to count them as movies. Good Star Trek spin off with interesting sci-fi stuff and bullshit capitalist nonsense throughout

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. 3.5/5: I understand how you built a whole TV show around Napoleon Solo's charisma. I imagine this would have had a future if Armie Hamer wasn't a fucking cannibal

What a terrible website. I couldn't even read it without it loading ads and moving my screen everywhere

I used goodreads because different editions are presented differently. It puts Dune at 658 and PHM at 476. If you want to truly go apples to apples the kindle edition of both, which I assume has consistent font/margins/spacing/etc has Dune at 883 and PHM at 482 for a 400 page difference on an eReader. Comparing the task of turning a vacation book into a movie vs adaptating a legendary book into movie (which was so difficult to do, that this is the third attempt and the first commercially successful one) is a false equivalence

Probably toggleable statistics. So I could choose to see information about people above their heads. Mood, age, name, net worth, and stuff like that. It'd be something I could turn on/off and choose what's stats I want to see at any given time

  1. No it isn't, Hail Mary is 180 pages shorter than Dune
  2. Dune is way more dense than Hail Mary, Weir very clearly writes his books to become movies. Way more dialog, much simpler problems, and clearly defined acts translate much easier to the screen
  3. They'll obviously have to cut some parts, but having read/seen The Martian I don't think anything of major importance was lost

I usually look for a recent episode with someone I like or a topic I think is interesting

One thing I couldn't agree with in Novocaine is that he didn't like that nickname. If you can't feel pain and people start calling you Novocaine that's a badass nickname, I would introduce myself to my parents as Novocaine if people called me that

Drop fucking sucked, also it wasn't even about the stupid ass Drop

Connection: a song about Dune and a song from Dune

 

When janitor Winston Gooze is exposed to a catastrophic toxic accident, he’s transformed into a new kind of hero: The Toxic Avenger. Now, Toxie must rise from outcast to savior, taking on ruthless corporate overlords and corrupt forces who threaten his son, his friends, and his community. In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive.

 

For those of us who still use reddit on occasion, I'm sure you've noticed AI is running rampant over there, from the multitude of variations of "Am I the Asshole", "Malicious Compliance", and especially in the comments. A lot of the explain the joke subreddits and in particular "Peter Explain the Joke" seem to ask questions so obvious that I am curious if it's designed to test AI responses and use upvotes to score the results. I know there're a lot of dipshits out there but are there so many that those posts routinely reach the front page multiple times a day? Is it just plain old karma farming?

Artifact Creature- Construct [rare]

This creature enters with X +1/+1 counters on it.

Many of the inventions built to fight the Phyrexians have since been repurposed for civilian use.

 

Player 2: I don't even know what that means

Me: Exactly!

Defenestration (n): the action of throwing someone out of a window

 

When someone links to a community if you open the post and then follow the link it works fine. If you're browsing with cards and try to follow the link from the card without opening the actual post it attempts to open the link in a browser which fails because the link is not the full URL. It would be nice if clicking the link would take me to that community on that instance, which is what it does when you open the post and click the link
