Surprised to see so much Odyssey content in this movie (Sand Kingdom, the T-Rex from Cascade/Wooded Kingdom). I would have thought they’d be saving Odyssey for a third film, particularly since this one also appears to be eating some of Sunshine’s spotlight.
And I know that Sand Kingdom was a brief backdrop in the first movie, but there’s a difference between having it as background set dressing vs. actually going there for a protracted scene in the movie.
The urban-rural border
Not that Haiti was necessarily at fault for that, though. It was either brace for further conquest, or submit to incredibly harsh terms of peace that would still see the country stripped of all its wealth.
I’m not the previous poster, but the French Revolution > Reign of Terror > Napoleonic Era > etc. comes to mind. A cycle of despots one after another.
I think it was considered normal for couples to argue pretty much daily.
How many people grew up thinking that marriage is supposed to look like that ? My gawd. People must have been miserable.
Probably likely for a lot of folks. It took so. damn. long. for divorce to be made legal across the western world, and even longer than that to get to the point where the burden of an unhappy marriage was no longer outweighed by the scandal of divorce.
Before no-fault divorces became common, unhappy couples would sometimes even voluntarily fake an affair just to act as “proof” of adultery for a divorce.
You gotta throw me a bone here Mickey, what am I even looking at?
I wanted to build a computer a couple years ago, but the prices they were charging for individual components even then just didn’t make sense compared to buying a more affordable, comparably strong pre-built.
I can’t imagine trying to build one now with these RAM prices, it’s insane.
Did the GPU shortages ever really end, though? We just have more shortages on top of it.
Maybe Christ is just a euphemism for cock
It never hurts just to start tossing out applications and see what you get. The best way to get better at interviewing is to do more interviews. Even if you think your odds of landing something are low, just go into it with the mentality of getting more practice until it feels comfortable. And who knows, you might be surprised by a good offer.
But I would also recommend being selective with where you apply, too. Basically don’t sell your skillset too low, and don’t apply for the types of open-ended jobs that will attract thousands of applicants and only waste your time. It can be absolutely soul crushing to send out 100 applications and never even get a response from 90 of them, but a good opportunity will come along eventually and you can develop a sense of which listings aren’t worth your time.
I just assumed they were the weird emphasis quotes people do for some reason
I had to look up his bio (where I learned that he had just died, this post makes more sense now) and found that he actually had no biological children, so he would actually be eligible for a Darwin Award.
Can’t say it’s original, I definitely stole it from someone else here who had the same grievance.
Yeah, that’s what I tried first, but it was basically a game of whack-a-moe.
I don’t like the nuclear option of outright blocking people, but blocking a single person is easier than blocking two dozen communities, and it future proofs it when they continue making new ones.
My trick: I ended up just blocking 5 or 6 total users and see almost none of it.
That full self driving Tesla is actually running into him so quickly that his mind hasn’t processed it happening and his body has begun to fuse into the chassis. Just a very good high-speed camera.
Reminds me of back when Microsoft tried making their Tay chatbot. But when Tay was regurgitating Nazi/white supremacist talking points, it was a huge deal and they killed it immediately.
The only difference now is that people stopped caring, since the companies can’t seem to be held accountable for it.
‘You would never find a nicer, kinder person,’ the father added about his son. ‘He’s a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband. I couldn’t be more proud of him.’
“Nice” and “kind” seem mutually exclusive with “committed, conservative Christian”
Aww, that context gives this whole meme a lot more depth to me. I can’t entirely articulate why, but I guess it’s just nice to know that he was actually wholesome and loved.
