    The Fast Food Thread

    This is the way. Bonus points that it pisses off and confuses NPCs so much. "But I don't get it, why wouldnt you want to use the app?"

    Marvel Universe stuff

    If you don't like Loki falling in love with himself and then betraying himself and in the process breaking the multiverse, I don't know why you watch comic book movies at all. That show was not just ok, it was very good. It was rewatchable good, first MCU thing since Endgame thats been rewatchable.

    Snow White (2024)

    I don't get this trend to not cast actual little people in the roles they were born to play. First Wonka now this. I mean, I guess its all part of the same thing as casting severely unattractive black chicks in roles intended for attractive white women. But this is just weird. Its like, this...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Can AI actors stick to acting and refrain from expressing political opinions? Then they'll be better than human actors. Someday actors will be reminded that their job is literally to stand there looking the way the makeup artist made them look, saying words somebody else wrote, the way someone...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Archaeology is barely better than Ufology interms of making wildass speculations based on very little evidence. They find a sharp rock and all of a sudden think they know something about early cultures or people. Not just speculate or imagine, but "know". I'm not even skeptical about the...

    Wonka (2023)

    Watched that ridiculous trailer and it deserves a second post. Lets skip right over the obligatory magic black girl and just go right to the fact that they're casting full size people as Oompa Loompas, denying Little People the roles they were born for. That is some fucking appropriation right...

    Wonka (2023)

    Thing is, I think Chalamet would be great casting for a young version of Johhny Depp as Willy Wonka. The problem is that Johnny Depp Willy Wonka fucking sucked. A movie about young Gene Wilders Wonka might be fun though. Have him start all bright eyed and optimistic, and by the end hes the...

    Oh, I saw it. Its just that between his mention of burning eggs (I think that was meant as use up rather than burn, but still), and his mention of storebought motherfucking crust, I figured it was just someone trying to fuck with me. And I'm trying to respond less to deliberate provocations, no...

    Secret Invasion

    The "spy shit without superpowers" part has always been the most boring and pointless part of the MCU. Now they've got a whole show about it, neat. First MCU show my kids and I have started then lost interest partway through the first episode. Booooooring.

    I'd criticize you for "not messing with crust" except half the quiche fans in the trhead have been recommending storebought motherfucking crust. I'm having trouble finding the right words to express my contempt for people being intimidated by a cooking task that involves 2-3 ingredients and...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Actually this is the only reason I think the discovery of aliens would affect religion at all. Almost all sentient life we've ever discovered was religious. I'm pretty sure aliens would be too if they existed.

    Time Travel: What would you do?

    See? this is what I'm talking about. Anybody who pretends they're gonna go alter history books is full of shit. We've all got stuff much closer to home we'd like to change first. This shit is like the whole reason a person would take the risks of time travel in the first place.

    If I'm killing an animal I raised for food, I feel something very close to remorse. It takes an act of will to put it aside and deliberately harvest the animal. Quickly, humanely, hopefully painlessly. If I'm killing a wild animal that has caused problems on my farm, I feel completely neutral...

    Project Blue Beam is by far the most plausible explanation. Besides. What subject was ever documented exclusively on youtube and tiktok and then actually turned out to be true? Almost everything is fake and gay now, but if its only on youtube and tiktok, its especially fake and gay.

    Odd that the us line stops around 2010 while the others continue. Still, it shows a minor decrease from 1970 to that point. But I concede that the opposite has been happening elsewhere especially in developing countries.

    I'm confused, why is NDAQ down 12% while QQQ is up 0.6%? Not holding either one, just don't get the disconnect. edit to forestall the probably still inevitable: yes I understand that they are different things and am not looking for the basic description of each, but rather any speculations...
