I wonder how much (white) nerd rage would have happened if they kept the elastic and stretchy powers right after having Reed Richards appear in Dr. Strange.

This article isn’t about “how far can you sustain yourself biologically without eating”, it’s about “things that make you irritable”. Yes, our ancestors fasted for days on end and were still able to stay alive but I bet they were pretty irritable. They also died at much earlier ages and from a lot more things.

Yeah, because our biology hasn’t changed at all in the 10,000+ years since agriculture became a thing lol.

This felt like a “hey remember this franchise? This world? These characters? Cool cause we’re making a second one!” And that was it. Nothing really exciting. I guess we are still 7 months out so we will get a proper teaser trailer and real trailer still. But this isn’t a great start.

Sorry, but MAN did this look boring af at the theater. There was even a laugh or tow at mine. I don’t think this will be the blockbuster they think it will...

It was a surprise but I can't say I care nor excited about it. The first one wasn't even that great, just a showcase for 3D. But 3D movies are dead now. 

Doctor Strange 2 doing nearly as much domestically in its first weekend as the first movie did in its entire run is why Marvel never panics about “modest” first-movie money takes. They have the patience to let heroes find their audience over time, through home release and crossover adventures.

I did notice one split-second thing.

If god didn’t want me to clean out my ears with a qtip why did he put a button in there that feels oh so so good when I hit it?

Counterpoint: No. Just don’t be an idiot.....

We aren’t designed to sustain fasting for days as a normal occurence. We are designed to eat when we are hungry. As a matter of fact, our bodies will retain fat if we go without food for too long. It’s a response to hunger. If our ancestors went without food for days, it was due to a shortage of food, not because they…

Believe me, the judge sees every eye roll, every smirk, every shrug, and every anguished expression you make, and it does not make you seem as charming or honest as you think it does.

I’ve seen a lot of people say “They’re both horrible people.” and I don’t really get it. Things so far really seem like Amber Heard has lied and bullshit her way to being a victim where as Johnny Depp appears to have, outside of some angry texts not even sent to her directly, not done anything verifiable to her.

Depp is getting away with snickering because it’s basically Amber Heard vs Capt Jack Sparrow, and that’s to be expected of Jack Sparrow. You half expect him to pull out a jug of rum and pop the cork with his teeth at any given moment. And I think that lends a bit of an unfair advantage for Depp, as anyone else would…

I edit court reporter transcripts, so I’ll add one more thing. There is someone in the room writing everything that is said. So speak slowly; enunciate (especially with acronyms - so many letters sound the same!); don’t use a ton of fillers like um, uh, and like; spell names; and most important, don’t talk over anyone.

And most importantly, moments of levity do in fact exist in courtrooms. So if you feel any flatulence coming on, as is fairly common in moments of extreme stress, take my advice and wait until its quiet before employing the “let it rip” technique. Make no facial expressions, don’t turn your head, and watch as everyone…

Except longer and with more superfluous descriptions of meals and clothing. 

The critique on consumer culture is fantastic, and even some of the critique on distractions is great.

To me, Fight Club has always been about that, not the physical fighting.

I think the people who REALLY like Fight Club understand it, and as you pointed out the novel fleshes it out more.
