I like Aquaman 1 on the wavelength of “Dolph Lundgren is riding a sea-war-horse, I cannot hate this”, so if A2 is more of wonderfully cartoon stuff like that, bring it.

Now, probably a year or so later, Arthur and Hera (Amber Heard) have a child

cheers for this review, been looking for someone who wasn’t biased in a way that they seem like they only went to shit all over it online. this is a very fair review, i’m gonna have to go check it out. i love popcorn flicks because i don’t have to think about much. 

At no point did the movie feel like one director’s vision. You can tell that it was chopped up by focus tests, because it kind of lurches from set piece to set piece with very brief, small scenes doing most of the character work. It also repeats several story and character beats, both from earlier in the movie, and…

It’s a silly blog that I pitched because I wanted to have some fun. I promise you, it’s not a ploy or anything for MASSIVE TRAFFIC. Sometimes, we just post stuff to have fun.

if i can be just a little honest here: the missing block quote was actually my fault. the kinja had it previously, but the cms decided not to keep it when i published the post after checks and edits. (gotta love kinja, right?) that said i appreciate y’all not dragging me for this. as you’ve noted, g/o media’s been…

I didn’t mention Fortnite because (to me at least) its long been a brand playground that I don’t even think about as having a distinct universe anymore. (I know it has lore, but even that is intermingled with BRANDS)

Because self checkout is generally quicker and I don’t have to deal with a person. And I can bag stuff myself better than most baggers do it these days.

When the store maintains 2 or maybe 3 “manned” checkout stations, the option is often “add 20 minutes wait to your trip” or “use self checkout.”  Gone are the days of full service in grocery stores.

I overwhelmingly agreed. Cutting in line because you’re too impatient to wait five seconds or too shy to say “excuse me, but that register is open” isn’t a rule of etiquette that I’m willing to observe.

This is exactly why a lot of stores have now disabled the scales entirely. Sure, theft has increased, but it’s significantly increased customer satisfaction (customers feel like the kiosks are doing a better job weighing the stuff, even though now they’re not weighing it at all, and honestly, it felt like the kiosks…

Sometimes, if they’re hanging on too long, overly determined to use one particular [kiosk], I’ll go around them to the open one since they clearly didn’t want it too much.

The store I usually go to seems to have disabled the scales a year or two ago, probably for just that reason. It’s nice to be able to just put the bag right in the cart now

I have been using self-checkout almost exclusively since covid - it seemed easier and meant less human contact, which is a good thing when you’re trying to avoid getting sick. I don’t understand the bagging thing - with a few exceptions almost every self-checkout allows or makes you scan something and put it right…

Honestly with Luke gone I don’t see a point in returning to this site anymore. His were some of the few articles I found tolerable to read or even mildly informative without relying on constant opinion and hearsay without research being done.

Do you have a diesel truck? Have you been on the trucker side of the island at night? When you fill up on the trucker side of the island on the regular, you’ll understand why a place that’s trying to be a tourist attraction and advertise clean bathrooms doesn’t want to deal with pee bottles.

Tom Layton here, the original Plaintiff. What you all must know is that the auto auctions prohibit buyers from bringing scan tools on to auction property. Therefore, you must believe what the auctions claim. Furthermore, of the 500 or so FedEx vans I personally purchased 99% of them were purchased on-line facilitated…

This. And if you have an HOA, ffs show up to the meeting(s). I’m a first time home owner. My HOA has a single annual meeting just to get the budget approved for simple stuff like lawn mowing service for spaces that aren’t owned by any one person.

ok i’m only just now pouring through the comments here and while i always appreciate some thoughtful discussion around my writing and / or the topic, we gotta chill with the threats of violence. like, do i believe that some people should get punched in the face? absolutely, the dude who did this to justfoxii’s car…

Do I need to add the Riot one? It felt like it was in a weird place, I wasn’t sure.
