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

    This is me on the modern internet in general. Its like watching a bunch of deaf mutes pass around little colorful pictures to each other, interspersed with the occasional actual post. Theres basically no scenario where I'm gonna sit and watch a video online. I have no idea why people abandoned...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I do agree with this, they did it at least twice early in the movie, and both times it was like "why did you blow so much effects budget on a throwaway scene no one cares about?"

    Its hard to wrap my head around not riding sqqq/spxu in this environment. I like investments that make the number go up rather than down. Obviously there will be green days and it'll hurt for a day or two. Do we sit around laughing at bulls every time theres a red day? In both cases it just...

    The Umbrella Academy

    No I dont want a prolonged explanation. I wanted anything other than literally "I'm trans now". they chose to go with "I'm trans now". It would have been much better to simply ignore it. She shows up, shes a dude now, no one mentions it ever, the show goes on. They could have done something...

    So USAK (trucking company I used to hold) is up 100% overnight. Sure glad I sold that a long time ago! Dodged that bullet In other news, between the BS rally we've had this week and the incoming social chaos - time to get back on the inverse ETFs. Sold my TQQQ yesterday, didnt make much off the...

    The Umbrella Academy

    The tranny thing was ridiculous. I thought they were gonna do some multiverse thing with it. They literally had her come out as trans on screen instead and we have to sit through her whining about it and all her siblings being "supportive" I cant think of a worse way they could have handled it...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    Dunno when all the edgelords crawled out of the woodwork into this thread. It was a good movie, one of the best so far in Phase 4. Not a great movie, it was no Spider Man No Way Home. But most of the criticisms here are retarded. There were two really dumb things in the movie. Two. 1. in your...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I dunno, I think the arc in Wandavision - Loki - No Way Home - Strange 2 tells a pretty epic story, on paper. It certainly doesnt have a tenth of the emotional weight of the Infinity War saga, as its played out here, but it seems like a big story in principle, a lot happened. But as a story...

    Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)

    I made it about 10 or 15 min before falling asleep. Boy, they really wanted to make sure there are no doubts that dumbledore is gay, gay, gay. Thats about all I got. Is that all Hollywood has left? "like that other movie, but now with more GAY!" boooooring

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    If you consider any MCU visually cool enough to be worth seeing on the big screen I think this ones gonna fall in that category too. There are lots of things to complain about but most are minor. Its much closer to Spiderman Far From Home than Eternals IMO

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    people who pronounce species like it has an sh in it. yes some dictionaries list that as an acceptable alternative pronunciation. doesnt change how retarded it sounds. just stop related, people who stumble around trying to invent a new word "specie" to describe a single species

    I've been riding inverse ETFs down the slope since April, took profits over the last week. I suspect we'll see a small fools rally from here. No illusions about trying to time it to a particular time of day but I'm betting on a short rally, maybe a week or so. People just cant seem to help...

    As far as I've read, you claim capital gains and losses on crypto more or less the same as stocks. I don't have crypto but thats what the internet tells me.

    The Fast Food Thread

    You are right about those crinkle cut fries. They are the only standard fries in the whole fast food industry that are actually seasoned properly. You are so wrong about that burger though. Its a microwaved piece of weird textured meat. Its kind of like when somebody fucks up a burger by...

    I like to speculate about it this way. Edgar has an incurable disease, he knows he's gonna die. And he doesnt have anyone he loves. And deep down hes just a nihilist.

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    Theres countless movies so boring and unappealing I never tried to watch them or turned them off almost immediately. Impossible to rate those, I feel like boring movies is a different category entirely. But in terms of movies so bad I was pissed off I had watched part of it, my list is one...

    The show has pretty clearly established that supres are easier to kill than they think. Based on what the show has established so far, we have every reason to believe you could simply stick a bomb up his ass, or a tiny person with shrink/grow powers, and it would be enough to kill him. Its...

    Writers who define an abbreviation then never fucking use it again the article. Its like opening a quotation or parenthesis and never closing it.

    No, I'm all for eliminating human interactions in fast food. No problem with those ordering kiosk things, and I'd greatly prefer robot fast food cooks. I'm just saying fuck installing new software from a fast food company on my own device in order to buy a motherfucking cheeseburger and then...

    Its an important part of the identity of all degenerates. They all insist theyre somehow different and superior to the other kinds of degenerates. The guys who just suck dicks?

    Agreed on the meat birds, thats why we're doing them ourselves. The processing fees are close to the cost of a rotisserie chicken (I know, loss leaders etc., but still) The pig math is complicated because we sold one, traded one, and kept one. But our total costs (including the pigs, the food...

    She-Hulk

    I think thats correct, and its a shame. Itd be a great vehicle to - for the first time in modern cinema - propose the idea that women should get a goddam handle on their emotions (the exact opposite of the message in Captain Marvel)

    She-Hulk

    The trailer isnt bad, looks like its worth trying. I'm kind of shocked they managed to keep her white (or at least passing white, I dunno the actress). And feminine. Except for the weirdly small boobs. Like, every part of her gets bigger when she transforms but her boobs stay the same?

    So bacon day has come and gone.

Impressively efficient and humane; he shot them in a head with the rifle. Not a second of...
