If only someone or something could please you. We’ll keep trying, “BlueSeraph”.

The writing and humor aren’t bad, but the poke at the last Star Wars movies being made by shitty people trying to collect a paycheck is just pure laziness. If you’re going to use worn out tropes, at least pick ones that are actually true or funny. Other than the striving too hard to get voted cool kid, good article.

What does “hospice movie night” mean? Are you currently at a hospice care facility? Also, thanks for your take on the film I agree with every point.

100% this. Plus, why spend money needlessly? You wouldn’t want to put the stress of a high torque modern performance engine on an older chassis.

It isn’t that the trailer “should be doing a lot of the braking”. The trailer _will_ be doing all of it’s own braking. Drum brakes aren’t the greatest, and personally I’d put discs on it, but I’m sure there are some engineering reasons for his decision, and honestly if you don’t live in a mountainous area there’s

This is why you see more and more acceptance of bi-racial marriages and children, and white old grandparents doting on their obvious bi-racial grandkids as they push them around the grocery store. It’s become so prevalent, esp. now in lower income neighborhoods that almost every family has some. I see so many more

This is so on point I wish I could give you one gigantic star instead of a feeble little one. The average person getting an abortion is exactly that, an average person. Average people in those areas (I live in Southern Indiana, pretty much ground zero for meth addiction and poor people) are going to be hit sooooo very

You’re conflating “cluster of cells” or even possibly “non-viable fetus” with actual children, born or ‘unborn’, whatever that means. But you know, nice try I guess?

He’s literally responsible for some of the most commercially successful AND well made films of all time. All these haters in here are just jostling for the coveted “cool kid” title of shitting on something they all secretly, most definitely can’t wait to see. I know I’m stoked!

Why, yes you are. If you don’t think so, try buying those things and then not paying them off and see what happens to them. If you want that same car to remain in that same house’s driveway you’re compelled to continue working and paying. The only thing that really separates you philosophically is you get to pick

Absolutely this. 100%.

I think you’re wanting to use the word ‘corroborate’ here, not collaborate. Her allegations do seem to be getting more intense, but that could also be because this is the first time (I think) that she’s been able to testify on her own behalf in this trial. My feeling is that unless someone knows either of these people

Hi there. Just wanted to stop by and say “go fuck yourself”. No, really. Go fuck yourself.

Can you count to 60? I bet you can if you try. There’s a difference between having a numerical advantage, and having a ruling advantage. Without 60 votes in the Senate, and without abolishing the filibuster, the Democrats control nothing in the Senate.

That would likely create wild swings in inventory levels, possibly making feast and famine ebbs and flows. I get what you’re saying, but I think that could potentially make things worse, not better.

engaging in this kind of ‘whataboutism’ only diminishes the damage and harm being caused by Putin right now. You have a very valid point about US imperialism, but keep it in it’s own lane where it should receive it’s own concentrated fire and not be diluted by what’s coming to Putin.

Absolutely, 100%. I was 10 years old in 1977 watching Star Wars when it first came out, and there was not a single person that left the theater (after clapping and cheering their hearts out) that didn’t consider it a ‘one and done’ film with a wonderful wrap up and conclusion. Most people, myself included, assumed

Goddamn right. I watched something on Youtube or somewhere that had all the music cut out, and it was crazily eerie. Your whole post nails this.

100% accurate, and a lot of people would do better for themselves if they more better understood this. Many of the academics and the institutions themselves are quite liberal, but the boards that run them know what they’re doing and what their job is; to make mad bank.

I’m not entirely sure what your definition of “carrier” is here, but it must be pretty flexible. I know in general the term is inclusive of conventionally powered, ski lifts, and gator freighters, but honestly having served on several US nuclear powered flattops, I can tell you the rest of them out there don’t hold a
