What we won:

Some good fishin in key-beck

Of all the industries that are potentially threatened by automation, trucking is among the most vulnerable. That’s something like 3.36m blue collar jobs that pay relatively well and don’t involve body-destroying labor.

Agreed, he was compelling in GotG 1, but bordering on obnoxious in #2 (to be fair I was pretty down on #2 in general, but still). He was anguished in the first one, and we can see a bit of that when he’s talking about his family with Mantis in the second, but overall he’s effectively a cartoon character.

I’m pretty sure he’s never actually said anything too controversial. The internet initially got mad at him because he went to a church that Elliot Page said was anti-LGBTQ (after which he said he believes anyone should be able to love who they want) and it kind of just became a thing afterward that certain segments of…

That’s how they get you. A little comfort for a whole lot of lost liberties. Before you know it is all social credit on your ass.

He is not wrong, but still comes across as callous for someone who promotes himself as a social conscious investor. What constitutes “care”? I have not heard of any outcry from any of the Muslim nations. And for that matter, no one seems to be trying to punish Myanmar for Rohingya persecution. Where are the UN…

You seem to be mistaken, celebrated thespian Steven Toast is in the new Star Wars.

It will have to be presented as an obvious and immediate thread to Boomers’ retirement accounts. Otherwise, they and their generational cohorts that control the federal and state governments aren’t going to do shit.

The Pacific Northwest doesn’t end at the border either. That atmospheric river poured so much water into British Columbia that hillsides that had been burnt clean after that massive heat wave where Lytton was hotter than Las Vegas has EVER been (and burned down less than a week later) let go in massive landslides that…

Say what you will about the quality of the movies themselves, but I have always been a little confused when people say that DC didn’t take enough time or release enough movies in the leadup to Justice League. Iron Man (2008) -> Avengers (2012), 4 years, six movies (five if you ignore Incredible Hulk, which many people…

Where’s Patton’s shout out is all I’m asking...

That’s not distasteful, and if more people realized that, more people would echo your sentiment. Because that’s exactly what every rational human being is thinking right now.

Janine Melnitz : “Do you want some coffee, Siri?”

Siri: [to Egon] “Do I?”

Dr. Egon Spengler : “Yes, have some.”

They can explain and re-explain it seven ways to Sunday all they want; there’s still no justification for including it as a post-credit scene.

You seem like the perfect example of someone that should watch it but won’t, because you should. 

No worries. You can watch it unfold in real time over the next few years.

I think the reason so many of us aren’t really talking about climate change is because we’re fucking tired and hopeless. We’ve reached the point the characters reach in the final act - we’ve talked, we’ve advocated, we’ve “raised awareness,” we’ve supported politicians we thought would do something, and we’ve realized…
