All of this has made me look into the types of planes I’m flying on a given route, especially domestically. I’ll take a slightly later or earlier flight to get on an A321S or anything non-Boeing at this point. Given the problems that are popping up with the 737-NG’s and new reports about the 787 (which is a shame…

that was hands down the worst GoT episode to date. terrible structure, nonsensical action sequences, and garbage usage of the dragons.

Air Force 1 had a pretty fun scene with F-15s protecting the plane against the MiGs. Not a full movie, but definitely a fun dogfight scene nonetheless.

holy fucking shit this fat ass is a real life female Cartman

i’m guessing nobody here has ever seen a Bollywood movie...

I actually find this incredibly interesting. On the one hand, Twitter is a service that’s opt-in. It’s not a primary means of communication, nor is it government sponsored, so does it actually fall under the purview of the 1st amendment if the president blocks someone on there? The government isn’t stopping that…

it’s funny you mention Beyonce and Coldplay / Hymn for the Weekend. As a Hindu, my problem with that video was the idea that when you go to India you see mystics floating while deep in meditation, and the implied notion that “feeling drunk and high” is what it’s like being in India as a foreigner and exploring some…

Hindu here, and I’m not speaking on behalf of all other Hindus, but to me this isn’t appropriation. I turned towards my wife with a perplexed look then said “did you hear that??! that was tight!!”

I am a minority, and by minority, part of a truly small minority (Indians, dot not feather) and sort of live on both sides of whether or not minorities are treated poorly in this country. I feel it the most when I’m traveling. Brown people are inherently regarded as slightly more suspect when traveling even…

fair point. but in terms of overall length of match, these go on for at least an hour. the average boxing match lasts 15-20 minutes depending on number of rounds? MMA 25 minutes?

Apart from hockey and basketball which require the fast transition between offense and defense, I’ll always maintain that badminton and tennis are the most mentally and physically demanding / grueling sports out there. When it gets tough, you don’t have a teammate there*.

this is the great / shitty part of this multi-sided clusterfuck of a controversy. It’s great he turned down the role because he actually understands what the issue is. But it’s also shitty that it takes a white person to raise the issues of minorities, especially when it involves characters of Asian descent, which…

I’ve seen all 3, with the 3rd just this past weekend and loved it. The virus in and of itself seems to have some sort of natural progress to it. In this sense, the virus that was introduced in the first movie has naturally mutated over time and evolved to force humans to devolve and primates to evolve. Nothing was…

I rewatched it this weekend and for me the tragic ending was the only way to this could’ve worked. Having them escape and end somewhere else kind of removes what was at stake. They all worked for something greater than themselves and rebelled against the rebellion itself. Having them all willingly sacrifice…

heard the same story myself on the way in to work. when I heard the news later in the day I thought Wanny knew about it and they were just reminiscing. Sad all around.

i hope you got dickpunched for that headline.

When I was visiting family back in India we went to see a movie and they played that before the film started. Definitely caught me by surprised because I had no idea it was a thing. I doubt the average american fatass in the theater will be bothered to actually stand for it and put their tub of extra buttered popcorn…

People still get excited for this? Serious question - what is the point of these events anymore? It’s clear Apple is still playing catchup to the rest of the field for the past couple of years despite being the miles-ahead leader for such a long time. What is going to be so magical and innovative this time? No…

right...except that military spending has been at its highest levels ever under Obama. Also DADT was a Clinton initiative. We also have military personnel in over 130 countries, and under Obama have launched more drone strikes in more countries than under any other President. So let’s stop with the whole GOP are…
