Once I spilled my trader Joe’s chicken Tikka masala all over my pants and while it wasn’t really a big mess in the long run it was still very disappointing in the moment

I worked putting together DCPs for theaters and managing checking the subtitles in the beginning of 2020, and was always impressed with the quality of the timing. If anything ruined a joke (which was pretty rare) I’d take it upon myself to split the line and adjust the timing to work better. I’ve always wondered why it seems like streaming subs have always been much worse, you’d think they would just use the same ones.

Not accurate, hands too big

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly not how the fediverse works, unless you mean the admins of specific instances

Yes. Average people don’t know what an adblocker is or even that there are different browsers. Let alone know how to install an extension. We’re fucked

I bet this will make it into the writing of Hifi Rush 2. (Tango Gameworks got bought by Krafton). The whole game is refreshingly unabashedly anti corporate and dunks on corporate culture in every way they can

Wait wtf is this

I tried to put 1941 with a period at the end. Did the period do some weird syntax thing? Oh looking again looks like it’s just cut off weird on voyager. Anyone else see this?

1941. It’s the funniest movie ever made.

Came out in 1979, Spielberg directed, Zemeckis wrote it, John Williams did the score, it has John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Christopher Lee, Toshirô Mifune, among others.

It was way way ahead of its time. There are more jokes and setups & payoffs than entire decades of more recent movies (I’m not even exaggerating much). The practical effects are awesome and they blow up tons of stuff for real. It’s refreshingly anti-war. It has absolutely bonkers set pieces. You might recognize things they try that you see in Spielberg’s and Zemeckis’ later movies. Can’t reccomend it enough.

Make sure to watch the extended cut because it just includes all the missing scenes from the theatrical, which just has gaps and loose ends.

Supplies!

Watch in a theater if there’s an event near you or with a bunch of friends. The theatrical cuts are much better paced. It was even criticized for being much faster than the books. If you get to the Mines of Moria (1/2 of the way through the first) and you’re not hooked then it’s not for you. LoTR is movie magic. Not just “wow that was a great movie” but something that transcends the medium, and makes you ask, “HOW did they DO that?” Hope you give it another shot. Cheers

Seriously. We need a functional government and world leaders who can manage id systems and verification with privacy and security in mind, and act reasonably in the public’s interest, just like they do for driver’s licenses, voting, taxes, etc.

looks outside

Oh no

I’M OLD GREEEEEGGG

Excellent Jacob Geller on this exact phenomenon:

His video essays are so good they make me wish supposedly “one of the best in the country” school systems that I went through didn’t condition me to loathe writing so I would have some practice and skills to write things myself.

I have a feeling it’s as simple as wanting to use all the toys they’ve spent trillions on over the years and just want to see big explosions and play war.

Imagine if our society provided taxpayer funded paintball/airsoft/bomb ranges so all these warmongers can get their rocks off without hurting people.

I was gonna use teams for a few groups of people, but fuck this noise. What are the best alternatives? Something like slack or discord but those have their issues too

Best way I’ve heard to describe him is, “at least he’s lawful evil”
