I wonder if it’s a mobile thing because I have the same issue on my tablet (which I completely gave up using for Walmart) but never on my PC.

I can’t believe anyone looking at this would think it’s real, wtf

Lolll so great, glad you had fun :) Corba-Man was nightmare fuel for a while when I was a kid. DPK’s face was already seared into my brain from The Warriors, I was so afraid of him!

Hope you like it! Now that I’ve talked about it I feel an itch for a double bill this weekend haha!

Wonderful thank you!!

The expressions of the humans really struck me as a kid, I could feel their terror (and anger) without really understanding the whole thing. Side-related but I’ve the 13thfloor tab opened for a few days and I haven’t explored it yet. Guess I should do that now :)

I love Altered States. And for some reason I always associate it with Dreamscape and I like watching them together.

Fantastic Planet is one of my all time favorite movies and I think it ages dreadfully well.

It’s so good. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I love how the story is told based on observations rather than exposition through dialogues. I don’t always need to relate to characters and their lives, sometime I just want to know about the weird gravity or atmosphere and stuff. For the longest time people said it could not be made into a movie, but Denis Villeneuve stepped up to the plate and I cannot wait to see what he does with it.

I listened to And Then She Vanished by Nick Jones and found it entertaining enough to start the second book in the series right after. It’s not really scifi, I mean, time travel could easily be tagged fantasy as well. I don’t know if I’ll finish the series though. It’s missing something that I can’t quite put my finger on. Somewhat shallow and the secondary characters are paper thin. Fine reading to pass the time (or spend 12 hours on a train…) but nothing I’ll be thinking about once I’m done. I’ve been struggling to get through the first few chapters of Perdido Street Station for a while, I may give it another go this weekend.

Absolutely love the book and read it a few times already. It’s fast paced and engaging. I enjoy the sciency parts as much as the relationship building between the two characters. It has a very straightforward narrative and does not try to be more than it is. It’s nothing deep, but straight up good entertainment. I went in expecting as much so I was not disappointed.

That’s fucking terrifying!

Renting is basically the only way to have housing in certain parts of the world. In large cities too. Not everyone that rents is bad at decision making or on the verge of homelessness…

In this specific case, she was able to blow 12k in renos on a rental and has a Roche Bobois couch that’s worth at least 10k in the setup she has (she mentions this on her twitter feed). To be fair, she also says she realizes she made a terrible mistake and is taking the criticism in stride, so good for her, lesson learned. All this to say, yes she acted stupidly, regardless of how shitty the landlord seem to be.

I agree with you that the housing system needs to change. That conversation has been going on forever. But the solution is not to have everyone strive to own a house.

I agree that the landlord is a shitstain, but that tenant is not the best at decision making either. I can understand spending a couple of hundreds if it makes your life better, but she basically handed over a 12k check to that landlord. I can’t see any good reason to do this.

I do the same! And you know, I think this is a hobby by itself. It’s also very useful when talking with strangers if they tell you they practice one of the hobbies you’ve binged on. You can ask them more pointed, interesting questions and it makes for great conversations!

My first thought reading the question “blood in the streets”. Coffee has been around for hundreds of years and is deeply cultural in many parts of the world. I don’t see any reality where that could happen.

What goes through the mind of people like this? Don’t they realize they are being dicks? Regardless of the weather the thought of using an umbrella in a crowd would never even cross my mind, even less so in a seated venue, wtf?

Oh I see. I’m sorry, you guys in medical really have it fucking hard. Hang in there, and best of luck!

That sounds very satisfying, wow! I swear to god, half the meetings I attend are just soooo unproductive. Talk about this project, where we were, where we are, where we are going. But it always ends up that I have to jog people’s memory, ask why what was supposed to get done didn’t and when it will be. Rinse and repeat. I love that approach, makes people accountable and saves everyone’s time.

That’s a big one. Also lack of hobbies or passions.
