Yuekit is the most sensible and informed person on this fucking website.

My father in law never saw The Thing. He never watched scifi at all really and would watch re-runs of tv shows that people of his parents age would watch on tv.
I think about him not seeing it a lot, I reckon he would have liked it. The characters in another situation could have been in a cowboy film and still been cool.- Classic that still holds up. And one of the 'few' superior remakes.MrT

The main problem with suicide is you only get to experience one option. Imagine the untold horrors of everything we never saw in Groundhog Day.

As long as it does not last more than two days, there are a lot of advantages to a bout of diarrhea when you are trying to kick start a weight loss program.

Is it possible to be a flaming hetero?
- ...without being homophobic in any way?jagara
- Ever seen jojo’s bizarre adventure?scarabin
- Only closet gays are homophobicdrgs
- @drgs I think that's a gross oversimplification (albeit containing truth).jagara
- Aren't closeted gays heterophobic?
(I'm not saying they're not justified.)CyBrainX - Hmm... maybe? Closeted gays are usually acting homophobic, to insure the world that they're not gay?jagara

So, we can all agree that bitcoin was bad for the environment.
So many wasted computational cycles.
We've not seen anything yet. This world will burn as we consume its worth generating absolute bullshit, via complex ML / pseudo-AI constructs.
Disreality will become; Swamped awash with high carbon cost fuckallitudes of every and any utterly nonsensical type.

- I think there are worse things that bitcoin for the environment, bitcoin is an easy target "ponzi, tulips, bad for environment"shapesalad
- Bitcoin by it's nature, encourages sustainable sources of energy, wasted energy etc, as that's economically encouraged.shapesalad
- If you can capture wasted energy, or free eco source energy, capture into a form of value - you'd seek it out.shapesalad
- For someone that shits on cannabis, you sure sound like a teenager who's half way through his first 1/4 of soap bar.Nairn
- Mind you, me too probably. lolNairn
- note he's not saying bitcoin is not bad for the environment.kingsteven
- and not really trying very hard to explain it or he'll realise he's talking absolute pretentious nonsense...kingsteven
- love that "Bitcoin by it's nature" which just means "Bitcoin uses lots of energy, all the time" :Dkingsteven
- the fanciful definition 'wasted energy' - which usually means dissipation. here somewhere between 'excess' and ' yet to be harnessed'... wildkingsteven
- over 60% of generated energy dissipates in to heat through the grid and power transformers before it reaches a mining rig (that turns the rest in to heat)kingsteven
- believing in bitcoin is a prerequisite to the very belief renewable energy can be wasted (in the way shape portrays). gateway drug indeedkingsteven
- Optoelectronics will helpdrgs
- As much as I hate emojis, they might be the least horrible thing on your list.

I should've tried, at least once, to get a voice acting gig.
I think I'd love a job like that.
- It's never too late! Ring up some recording studios, and record some samples.Continuity
- Friend of mine is a voice actor. Makes great money and loves it. He was the guy in high school who could narrate an entire Monty python film with all the voicesGnash

Why don't we have ninjas in movies anymore?
The last one I can remember that had ninjas is The Wolverine, which was, what? 2012? '13?
I like ninjas. They need to make a comback.
- Ninjas are a bit silly now, though as a kid it was my dream to be one.
Also https://www.youtube.…PhanLo - There were some in Daredevil https://www.youtube.…PhanLo
- ^ Aah, I never did watch that show.Continuity
- And they're not silly ... they're awesome. :(Continuity
- Lego Ninjago movie?uan
- That‘s what kids are into...Ninjagos and Pokemons...uan
- Think I watched every bad ninja movie in the video shop. Just think street lights probably would catch them out more in modern times. :-)PhanLo
- ^ This is why ninjas have throwing stars.monNom
- Pffft. No self-respecting ninja would ever get caught out by something as banal as a street light!Continuity
- Movies are full of ninjas. You just can’t seem ‘em ‘cause they’re ninjasscarabin
- This was TOP
https://www.imdb.com…grafician - When I was 12 and into ninja movies I convinced my mom to rent one because it said "not rated" on the VHS cover.palimpsest
- It had a lot of gore, obese topless women that might have been sex slaves and dirt bikes. When she walked by as I was watching it she wanted to stop it.palimpsest
- But a deal is a deal and I could finish watching it. I found it really weird for a ninja movie, specially the dirt bikes. Has anyone seen it?palimpsest
- Sounds pretty sweetYakuZoku
- Be ready for TMNT mayhem, mark my words.ApeRobot
- If you remember the name of the film, palimp, let us know. It sounds awful enough to be awesome.Continuity
- I'm looking for it but can't find it. I do it every 2 years when I remember it. I think it had subtitles, really low budget.palimpsest
- @PhanLo has seen all of them so I'm waiting on him.palimpsest
- I got it from this small shop in downtown Baltimore. I don't remember, because at the time I couldn't tell, if it was an arty rental place or a fetish one.palimpsest
- I know exactly what street it was on though: 800 North Charles.palimpsest
- superheroes with superpowers killed the ninjasneverscared
- My ex... Japanese... couldn't understand why the west thinks ninjas are cool - in Japan it's seen as dorky/nerdy/childish...shapesalad
- I reckon I saw that movie too Palimpsest but can’t remember the titlePhanLo
- Well, I wanna know what it is!Continuity
- I'd like to get rid of ninjas and superheroes unless they know how ridiculous they are, like Adam West.CyBrainX

I want an RTS game based on Lego, with tech trees that sort of follow Lego's evolution, with an aesthetic emphasis primarily concerned with 70s/80s space lego, but ultimately anything goes. You want to mix duplo red block with some ninjago (?) and some 80s lego flowers as a radar jammer? go right ahead!
You build new units in game as you would normal lego and 'somehow magically' various bits turn into guns or scanners or eyes or whsatever.
Something like this could be a low-mid level hover tank unit, for instance
- And obviously when they're attacked they fall apart into their respective lego components, which could be harvested for re-use.Nairn
- this is more of a million dollar idea. special parts could be included in builds to give them their "powers" or characteristic. combine for fun². inspiringimbecile
- bridge building would be key. but just custom units but custom structures that could be blown upcannonball1978
- They tried to make a Lego open world Minecraft rip and it failed once. Maybe again.monospaced
- This isn't that, but this is at least partly inspired by what Minecraft promises, still, after all these years.. https://www.qbn.com/…Nairn
- @c1978 - you're quite right, the entire environment should be lego... although small tanks would judder like a mf'er over all those bumps :)Nairn
- Yeah I know this isn’t that. This would be better than the Lego game they tried rolling out that failed.monospaced

I think about eating burgers quite a lot.
I think I think about eating burgers more than I actually eat them.

I am constantly getting weird incel vibes from omahadesigns and NBQOO. They are so similar in their ignorant treatment / questioning of women's behaviour and posting of videos regarding "Chads" that I can't help both of them represent this meme to a T.
Feel free to downvote if you go through life believing women owe you anything

I have a mental misstep that always amuses me when I see it - Y'know those self-congratulatory tees that Marathon runners or Ironman participators wear that proclaim their completion of whatever event? They usually say "Finisher" on with some ca-razy image or statement, well every time I see that I mix it up with 'fluffer' and imagine that they actually completed some porn stint getting the dude to 'finish' on their hands or hair or whatever.
it's a really poor and broken thought, but it ..er.. comes up EVERY TIME I see them, Which is lots, where I live. The twats.

Just got back from H&M to get some underwear, and — as I was unpacking them to get them into the wash — I happened to glance at one of the packages, where the features of said pants was laid out:
• Durable fit (Okay, cool, I don't want them to lose their shape, I suppose)
• Breathable (Excellent, though assumed. If you're selling pants made of non-breathable fabric, maybe you should get out of the underwear business, because you clearly don't know what you're doing)
• Support (Err ... eh?)Why lay this out? Support? Okay, some guys want their package held in place, but I wouldn't call that 'support', as such.
Testicles are not breasts. They're tiny wee things by comparison, and weigh nothing. They don't necessarily need 'support'.
I mean, come on. It's a slippery slope from 'support' to 'push-up', and then where will we be?
'PUSH-UP PANTS, FOR MAXIMUM BALL CLEAVAGE.'
- On the other hand, since people are tanning their arseholes, I suppose all bets are off, at this point.Continuity
- Maybe an underwire for the ballsack? Or maybe two little underwires, one for each of the boys?
This is how you Idle Thoughts, people.Continuity - And actually, if you're not buying boxer shorts, isn't 'support' assumed anyway? Like, that's the whole point of buying not-boxers, right? Why point it out?Continuity
- Ha! Nairn and Continuity inventing a new 21st century literary movement in front of our eyes. Keep it coming, bravo sirs.fadein11
- Bro have you even seen an old man’s ballsnb
- I submit to you, sir, that that's irrelevant. Not-boxers would hold his geriatric scrot in place, as they would a young man's (like me).Continuity
- We're not trying to lift our 'nads in a show-off position with our undies, you know.Continuity
- That’s “support”nb
- Eh. To me, 'suppose' means more 'lift' rather than 'hold in place'.Continuity
- Semanticnb
- In the context of underpants, anyway.Continuity
