Alan tudyk?

Andy serkis?

That one guy who does a shitload of videogames and anime dubs whose name always escapes me?

Imagine trying to justify thousands of murdered children because some people decided to attack a festival.

An attack, I might add, the government had been informed of and bafflingly did the opposite of adding protection to heavy traffic areas…

Livestock Guardian Dog

Things like Great Pyrenees, Kuchi, most things with “shepherd” in the name, mastiffs. Breeds like that.

Anecdote time: I have a Pyrenees collie mix, and a small terrier. The Pyrenees protects the terrier when they’re outside, mostly from the hawks/owls that like to fly around the fields looking for rodents. But I have gone to check on them before and opened the door just in time to see the Pyrenees barking up a storm chasing off a coyote. I’m confident that a coyote wouldn’t be able to get through my fence and attack the terrier before I could grab something and fight/scare it off, but I know with the Big Boye out there I don’t have to worry about it (but still do, people tell me I Dan leave them out there for longer periods but I keep pacing by the windows and back door to check on them every minute or so they’re out there)

I’d love to see a video that takes this concept, but walks around with it. Literally

Start by getting out of a car on the side of the street or in a parking lot, and when the camera gets out of the car, all the “car areas” drop away, leaving only the paths you’re “allowed” to take. Tiny sections right against the parking spaces, zebra crossings, sidewalks, all normal (or in this style).

Camera goes about a normal day, and as they’re looking around, all the car designated areas are just voids.

Bonus points if areas you’re technically not supposed to walk are boxed off in like a video game style DO NOT ENTER wall. For instance, there are sections of my city with NO sidewalks, up against private residences. So your options are walk over people’s yards or in the street. In this scenario, it’s a void against a wall. Good luck.

I’m just thinking about walking to get to downtown, and there’s no way I could do it without being somewhere I’m “not allowed”. And imagining the massive voids everywhere is a bit depressing. Not that roads and parking lot deserts are any less depressing… I need to go walk in the woods for a bit…

I was momentarily spooked, but scoob is safely running away.

And shaggy is there too I guess but we all know who the real star is.

I looked my mother in the eyes after a long day once and responded to a similar statement with “No, I hated your chilli when I was a kid.”

She really does make the absolute worst chilli I’ve ever tasted. It’s so bland. There is almost no chilli powder in it, just some salt and a little bit of pre-ground pepper from a packaged salt/pepper shaker. The recipe amounts to “throw some hamburger and tomato sauce with canned beans in a pot and cook it for an hour and then add random amounts of all THREE seasonings”

It’s a wonder I survived to be able to cook on my own.

I fucking hate modern categories.

If I see Lord of the Rings listed in my science fiction category again I’m gonna reach through the internet to back hand whoever decided that through their computer screen.

No, The Expanse does not count as Fantasy.

Is it fantastical? I guess.

Does it fit the movie genre of Fantasy?

Fuck no. It’s 'Hard science fiction" as in science fiction based on real world science. Star trek is more soft science fiction. Possible, but basically magic to us. Star WARS on the other hand, I’d say fits into both.

Most of my gripes come from science fiction categories and how their movies are labeled. I swear I once saw Bridget Jones listed in science fiction.

You lament the growing appetite for murder yet readily praise the death of musicals.

If I had 3 of my friends and a piano, we’d dance and sing our frustrations at you!

My mother WORKS IN HEALTHCARE as the intermediary for the hospital network and the insurance companies.

She literally sees the Financials of people every fucking day.

And still she thinks socialized Healthcare would tank the entire US. I’ve shown charts, studies, anecdotal evidence out the wazoo (which is where anecdotal evidence usually comes from) But no, I can’t possibly be right about this, it would mean someone who got stabbed will have to wait on 600 people with the sniffles to be seen by a doctor in 6 months. Because I guess in socialized medicine, triage doesn’t exist? You can’t logic someone out of a position they didn’t logic themselves into.

You’re literally partially making sure you still get PAID when shit happens.

Very good point, and I honestly wonder how common that knowledge even is.

Then again, almost all anti-union propaganda hinges on people not knowing enough about the subject to call it out. As with most propaganda.

Legit had someone from my last job start going on a break room tirade about how “those damn unions just want your money” but strangely had no rebuttal when asked why giving them 2% of your paycheck is a bad thing when they negotiated your RAISE to be 15% and your health benefits add up to an additional savings of around 20%.

I’m SO SORRY you’re getting extra money and healthcare rather than the NOTHING you had before.

Nowadays I like to print up cards with unionizing information on them, facts vs myths, links to read up more, anti-union tactics, links to join unions, links to find HELP setting up a union, and basically anything I could cram into a business card. Now I leave about 10 of them any time I go into a non union store.

Given how previous management has reacted to “someone” leaving these in the break room, I’m sure I’ve caused a few sleepless nights.

The supreme court is supposed to be based on certain numbers, when those numbers increased the SC could have been increased, but hasn’t been.

Basically all it would take is for the president to decide “hey this court is supposed to be bigger, because the rules it wrote for itself say so” and sign a few things and boom. Increased court size.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever read her diary, or the ORIGINAL diary, but the original non-edited version, she goes into detail about her sexuality and specifically about another girl. Her father basically ripped out/omitted pages out of shame.

Since the version the school approved was the same version just graphic novellized, you can bet a Texas school did NOT approve the original version.
