I seem to have liked this movie more than most here, but I have to really disagree with this point specifically in re: Steve Trevor. The entire emotional arc of Diana and Steve in this movie is based on the relationship they created in the first movie and the fact that she has to sacrifice him AGAIN to save the world.

I thought they did a decent job of showing the progression in the big chase scene. First, she gets shot, which we’ve never seen before. Then, she’s obviously tiring as she works her way from truck to truck. Then, she can’t just use her powers to toss trucks off; she’s having to use every ounce of strength she has to…

I’ll preface this by saying that I know nothing of Twitch culture, but isn’t “simp” already a slur? I didn’t know of its current context, but I remember that word as short-hand for “simpleton” and typically being used as a slur against people with intellectual disabilities, much like the r-word.

That’s what I was thinking.  We have multiple “User” accounts on our PS4, but they’re all linked to one PS+ account. Though I could see a scenario where, say, roommates share a Playstation with multiple PS+ accounts so they can buy their own games. As others have said, though, this is likely an issue of one console…

They wrapped up the big, season(s)-long story arc last week, including a long, retrospective montage, so I would expect that the finale is going to be fairly standalone.

Yeah, a couple of toilet paper rolls stuffed with dryer lint are as good as any store-bought fire starter.

I feel like CBS is in a tough place. Paramount just doesn’t have the brand recognition to go the Disney Plus route. I mean, Disney+Marvel+Pixar+Simpsons tells you all you need to know. You know what’s on Disney Plus. Paramount has a bunch of different franchises, but nothing you’re going to sell a service around.

I would recommend Twilight Zone and Why Women Kill as well but, yeah, there’s not much to keep you subscribing for months at a time.

I would argue that the less effective a vaccine is, the MORE it should be mandated (assuming it’s safe obviously). A 90% effective vaccine given to 55% of students is going to have the same efficacy as a 50% vaccine given to 100% of students, so if it’s less effective, we need more people to get it for it to work.

Not even “non-major.” The Minneapolis suburb I just moved out of has plenty of townhomes available for that sub-$225k and a median household income of $85k.

Somebody hasn’t watched Discovery all through yet.

I live in Minneapolis and, here, there are just a lot of 75+ year old houses with radiator heating, so it’s really expensive to run ductwork. And given how rarely it gets above 90, you can usually get by with a couple of window units or mini-splits. Newer houses have central AC, obviously, but I’ve seen places built…

I know it was a joke, but Johnny Cash wasn’t his birth name, either. His given name was JR Cash, but the army wouldn’t let him enlist as that, so he changed it to John R. Cash.

My Nazi mask and Trump shirt have people asking a lot of questions already answered by my Nazi mask and Trump shirt.

Somebody else made the point today that there are cases of people being infected with measles multiple times even though, for the most part, immunity to measles is lifelong and can be achieved through vaccine.

Yeah, those extended tree lines with fertile farmland in between basically scream, “There used to be a river here.”

I think Lego Harry Potter was really the progenitor of that style of Lego game. The use of Hogwarts as a sandbox hub was super-smart and contained enough that it didn’t feel overwhelming, like Manhattan often does in the Lego Marvel games. I thought the use of spells as the differentiators was really clever, too.

My Roku remote can control the Roku, turn on the television and control the volume on the sound bar. I actually misplaced the television remote a few weeks ago and haven’t really even looked for it.  And that’s on a television that was a year-old model when we bought it four years ago.

I agree but...maybe that’s the point?  The beautiful facade was just hiding the evil beneath.  That’s kind of a theme in Bioshock.  Every attempt to create utopia ends in disaster because people aren’t perfect, so you can’t create any perfection that relies on humans.

I suppose. It’s still a hell of a price to pay. I played all three on PS3 within the last few years and I don’t think I paid $50 for the lot combined, netting them all through $20 or less sales. And, like I said, the collection was just free on PS4 and can probably be bought for $20 or so pretty frequently.

I just…
