This thread is so fucking funny. Of all the issues to get all morally outraged over: downloading copies of digital entertainment This is how I know y'all are mostly leftists down deep despite a momentary affection for Trump -- some of you people fixate on the dumbest and least important shit...

I dont get it. Are all ethnicities with skin darker than snow interchangeable to you? Thats exactly my complaint. An Arabic/European race in the book, and they cast a black chick. Would a Filipina also have been a good fit? A Thai? how about an Australian Aboriginal? I mean its about finding the...

LOL thats what we've learned from Game of Thrones? Every time you watch Dany's bizarre black eyebrows on a platinum blond chick look, thats what you think? What I think is "there are a couple dozen actually blond actresses who could deliver these lines just as well". Not like theres some...

... and there it fucking is. In 2019 America, the only acceptable love interest for a white man is a black woman. every. fucking. time. It barely happens in real life; it doesnt follow the story; its jarring and fucking stupid. Its like "we're remaking Cleopatra but this time we're having...

it goes without saying that for the few weeks or months when fresh is cheaper or equal, you buy fresh. Or it should go without saying if some body didnt cherry pick counter examples to argue a really silly point. My argument was obviously "dont insist on buying fresh because its often much...

I thought this was the "eating on a budget thread", not the "FOH gourmet chefs thread" Frozen vegetables are way cheaper, available year round, have more consistent quality across different stores, and nutritionally nearly identical to fresh. No one disagrees fresh veggies taste better. Of...

Taste? hell yeah. No comparison.

OK. What is the obsession with "fresh produce"? The nutritional difference between fresh, canned, and frozen is very very minor in most cases. Insisting on fresh produce is antithetical to eating cheap. I thought the goal was to eat a reasonable tasty and nutritious diet for a very small amount...

This discussion of produce quality at specific grocery seems like an irrelevant tangent. Yes, at any grocery store, sometimes a particular item looks shitty (like the tomatoes posted earlier) or a particular item is too expensive that week. So you don't get those items that week. Or you go to...

In all seriousness, yes, our sample sizes are too small to draw statistically significant conclusions. I just dont think that means we should return to pointless theorycrafting abut which one "should" be better or worse for kids.

You misread my post. All women I've known from divorced homes are unstable and crazy, specifically when it comes to relationships with men. Some small fraction of women I've known from intact families are marginally less crazy. Zero versus a small fraction is a difference.

Number of stable, well adjusted women I've ever met who came from a divorced home: 0 Number of women I've met who had shitty parents: lots. most? Trying to argue from theory about which one "should" be worse for kids is one thing, but when I look at the evidence I have a hard time escaping the...

... and now I watched Ep 1. WTF did I just watch? Amy is a black girl and Babcock is a hot chick? Modern casting is so SJW it can't even be parodied.

The books had some really great parts, it was actually a pretty interesting look at the vampire apocalypse. Then that fucking ending that makes Stephen King look like a master of a well-crafted ending. Perhaps the worst ending in memory to any book I've ever enjoyed. Earlier parts were the...

I dont understand this thread. Grown up forum requires us to pretend that period blood doesnt stink? I dont care how much you like your woman, her shit still smells like shit and her period blood still smells like period blood. Doesnt mean sex is off the table, but lets acknowledge that the...

I get the historical point you're making, but a. Having kids without being married doesnt work well. Marriage is in the best interests of the children. b. they didnt always call it marriage but the pair bond has probably been around for several million years. Marriage just codified that...

This is an unbreakable law of the universe. Well said.

How about "do you want your genetic lineage to go extinct forever, or get married with all its pros and cons?"

The fact that marriage has become a one-sided contract is a problem with no-fault divorce, not a problem with marriage. Regardless, if you dont get divorced, that part is a non issue. Marriage is about producing children (evolutionary success), not some kind of mechanism to optimize fun. With...

Yeah, I agree but this was way too far on the other end of the spectrum. Take Primer for example. No one could accuse them of holding your hand. Watched it > 3 times and still have moments of confusion. But at the same time, no one can accuse Primer of not telling the story. This movie was...

LOL very well put. >10 years into marriage and I still cant keep track of all these meaningless details and am still getting in trouble for it. Dating two women? Fuck that. My wife likes to open damn near every statement with "remember X that I told you about?" Now really, her goal is to get...

When every remake of any property in a genre sucks balls, that may be telling you something about the genre itself. Just sayin.

Fuck writers who think its artistically interesting to set up a big mystery and never explain even the smallest part of it. This could have been an interesting movie if they'd bothered to actually tell the fucking story.

Absolutely loved the visual style. Hands down best visual recreation of a comic book style in a movie that I've ever seen. And as someone who often bitches at forced diversity in superhero movies.... not one second of diversity in this movie felt forced. Really, really well done. This goes...

This. Its like reading reports from a third world country, or those rat overcrowding experiments. People walk right onto your porch and take shit? LOL

Great trailer. I am amazed how theyve taken a bunch of c-list comic book characters and turned it into not only the biggest superhero blockbuster movies ever, but also movies with genuine emotional impact. April is so fucking far away.

In fairness, I am not at all sure that what Lumi is arguing is contrary to Eintein's concept of relativity. Does time actually move at different rates for two different observers or does it just appear to from the perspective of those observers? I'm not sure thats a crazy question to ask. If it...

People who call actresses "actors". I mean, WTF is gained by this? She's obviously a woman. She acts. The word you're looking for is actress.

AWS is cheap and appears very stable... no idea how it scales with heavy traffic but I bet they have solutions that would help there too...

100% agree. Then you go adopt a mutt and discover theyre asking $400-$600. Whatever route you take, the culture of spending around pets is fucking dumb. Mutt puppies should be literally free, they cost nothing to produce. You have to actively take steps and spend money to AVOID producing them...

The freedom to format your code however you want, so it looks the way you want it to and is as readable as possible. I mostly talk shit for fun when it comes to Python, like Mac vs PC, but in all seriousness I cant understand why anyone would support a language that enforces a particular...

Shut your whore mouth. Perl is properly viewed as an alternative to Python, and in that context its undeniably better. Unless you hate freedom and flexibility, and really enjoy languages that enforce particular rules for whitespace characters.

You don't hit a kid on the face. Thats what they have a butt for. 10 years old isnt too old for a spanking. A spanking is more humiliating and guaranteed to cause zero damage. That said, the parents who didnt discipline him are just as much to blame.

Thats so funny. I always loved that, back when I set an alarm. It was like ha, I win, fucker! as I'd turn off the alarm without ever having to hear it. Eventually I always woke up before the alarm and stopped setting it.

I hate the sound of alarm clocks so much I stopped setting mine well over a decade ago. I literally only set it for unusual cases e.g. 4 AM wakeups to go get on a plane or something. Normal days, I just get up. Fuck the sound of alarm clocks. Way to start the day off angry -- here ya go, first...

For some reason when conversations about fights come up on FOH things always go sideways fast. WTF is this spitting on the face is assault, shit? People are saying theyd resort to physical violence over this? And a quick google shows that in fact youre right and its legally considered assault...

Holy shit, that is divorce worthy. I literally stopped seeing a girl in college because she used the snooze button. That was rare for me, usually I waited til they got tired of my shit and started cheating on me with a friend. Wait, that was out loud. Anyway, fuck the snooze button and...

Somehow each trailer looks worse than the last. And I guess if thats a final trailer, this confirms officially that they arent somehow fixing ghettofire with e.g. CGI gold skin or something. Theyre seriously going with ghetto rat in a pink wig.

LOL "Piracy" Its the ethical equivalent of loaning your friend a paperback, but theyre still calling it "piracy". If theyre going for absurd hyperbole perhaps they could at least pick a "crime" thats not universally admired and romanticized to the point Disney has made billions of dollars from...
