UK, gen x, single, dude, IT professional since stone age. I like food, movies, books, games anything creative, art and crafts and also dogs. Dogs are the best people. Dogs are awesome. Woof. Awooo.... but they will break your heart. I'm into caring people, I think we all benefit from care and support and an understanding of how hard life can be sometimes. I think being kind sometimes gets lost in our hectic pressured world, and that's a shame. I don't like the pattern the modern world seems to force people into of always struggling and having to fight for survival - I think there must be a better way in our modern clever age. I am a proponent for mental health care, I have helped many friends and people through difficult times, and have gone through a lot myself. I find this to be an extremely important area that often gets neglected and often mishandled. I have a lot of time for listening to people and their stories and just being there. A little help goes a long way.
Sudden Frenchman sounds like something I would have to look up in the urban dictionary.
Definitely not bullshittery. I would guess you're either already running through a VPN, or, whatever you're routing through is. Or, your ip range doesn't resolve to being from the UK - you're very lucky ( someone at your ISP hasn't registered their IP range, or done it incorrectly ).
Sure I know. But Keir and Co. have had plenty of time to either rework it or kill it. They didn't. Started by one. Finished by another. And Keir ends up being the captain in charge at time of release. Bad look.
I'm apparently uhh, Swedish. My hobbies include eating surstromming and visiting Ikea.
Ha ha. Fantastic. I'm in.
Brit here. It's wild I now have to use a VPN to use imgur. Good old Keir. He's such a treasure. Roll on ID cards. I'm sure that's going to also be an absolute triumph.
I love this. I think we should setup a confusing dual system where some use chomps. I'd use chomps. This message is brought to you via the wonders of a VPN from behind the Bellend Firewall of Britain.
mmmmmmMMMMMmmmmm.
Eh, to be honest, at this point, being sacrificed in the woods sounds like a mercy.
Yes but wait, hold in a minute. You see one is the pain of others - which is irrelevant. And the other is personal discomfort - which is very important. Duh.
David Whittaker was awesome, he composed many a great piece of music on ancient hardware.
Wasp Factory 2.0
Does it bother anyone else that he's sitting in front of it for reference, but the art is from a completely different perspective. Feels more performative than useful. Cool art regardless. But still.
Feels like human nature of excess vs temperance. Drink til you're hammered. Hangover recovery. Or diets. Or excercise. Or spending. For the US you get bonus points if your excess wild period includes some form of social demonising or ethnic cleansing. McCarthyism. Trumpism.
Whilst I appreciate all viewpoints, I do think that a contemporary lens can lack a good deal of self awareness with regards to its own sense of smug superiority - prevalent throughout the ages whenever a contemporary period looks backwards. Take that also with a pinch of salt. Relevancy and style changes over time and takes no prisoners. Including with any given contemporary moment which will also age out.
One of my fave films. And. Personally. I love the bit at the start of the movie with Egg talking to the lawyer and he gives a brief magic demonstration. Fantastic ! Because it builds up to it. Pfft. Magic. Come on. Please. Bzzt. See ? That was nothing. But that's how it always starts. Small ! Cut scene cue awesome music ! I get chills with it. Awesome.
I don't have a lot of the same takes on the film as you do on it, but then, this film is my era, and I don't view it through the modern lens. 1/
I do like how the modern era has romanticised living in ever smaller and more transient spaces. It's like a victorian era wealth gap and lack of decent living space for people got a massive dose of marketing and propaganda to make it cool. Living out of your car ? In a hovel No no no ! So out dated. Don't say that. Say you live an open and bohemian lifestyle free from such burdens as having a home, or security, or a future, or not shitting 1 foot away from your pillow. Good times.
Or the grandkids did make it that far but they only have time for survival - picking through the ruins of the old world to make it through to the next day. No netflix. No documentaries. Famine. Plague. Environmental and socioeconomic collapse. On a brighter note, there will be a lot less social media influencers.
Wow. I remember this. I think I still have it somewhere lurking in a dusty drive share.
I believe you Kermit.
Assuming by "end" you mean things equal out - this makes an enormous assumption that all such historical crises are broadly equivalent with the contemporary and will follow the same cycle. This takes no account of things like speed of transmission of an idea versus how long it can take for someone to mull it over, nor facts like psychological impact and consequence in a near instantaneous global village, nor the idea of tipping points pushing past previous equilibriums. In short. I'd say naive.
At that height it's less of a waterfall and more of a humidifier
My boss was a narcissist who didn't deserve me !
It's because - as every ork knows - purple makes things invisible, or at least much harder to spot. Thus, your depraved 4' long mega schlong 4000 that you keep next to your sofa is safe from the judgemental regard of visiting friends and family allowing you to safely meet the gaze of your father over dinner.
I don't think any of us deserve dogs, all you can do is try to be as good of a person as they think you are.
Is this the alpine equivalent of carrying all the groceries in from the car in one go ?
A pathological narcissist as grand leader, a literal lunatic running the asylum is creating a twisted horror of a country you say ? I'm shocked. Who could have predicted that letting someone with a severe mental dysfunction be in charge would result in a place people don't like living ? Maybe there should be like, some safeguards against letting crazy people run for office. Preferably before they've burnt said office to the ground. But. I'm sure it's fine. US exceptionalism and all that.
You have to have the egg duo, of the egg in the bath, and the scotch egg at formula 1. And then David Mitchell having a meltdown about it all.
