I recently re-watched The Net. There are some pretty silly things in there.
One of my favourites was Sandra on the beach, in mid day tropical sunshine, using one of those old 1994 laptop screens. Riiiiiiight.

It would be fun to make Trump work a job for 90 days. Nothing major. Maybe answering phones for a help line.
9 to 5 desk job.
Monday through Friday.
If he misses a day he has to “find a new job” and start over.
The dude would fucking CRACK like he was being waterboarded!

I don’t have time in my life to have to deal with legal bullshit that isn’t my fault. I’ll just avoid the situation entirely.
Self checkout is a liability.

you’re simply punishing that kid for no reason.
IT’S HIS JOB!
Since when is doing the job you were hired for considered punishment? I’ve worked in a retail environment when I was younger. I always enjoyed being tagged to collect carts. I got to go outside and shuffle around the lot.
And of course it hurts the bottom line. If people start leaving their carts around more, they have to pay someone to collect them. If everyone puts carts in the cart return, they collect from there. If carts are all over the lot, it will take 2 or 3 times longer.

I don’t use those self checkout machines because they’re a serious liability to me. If I fuck up and miss scanning something, then I get a shoplifting charge. Best case, they realize it was a simple mistake a trespass me indefinitely for it.
Fuck you. Ring up the items for me.
I also now have a new policy. If they have more self checkout open than regular checkout, I leave my cart in the parking lot NOT in the buggy corral.
There used to be sort of an unspoken honour system that if they didn’t have to pay a kid to collect carts, prices would stay down. Now they’re reducing their labour AND bumping prices to increase profits.
Fuck you. Collect your own cart.

I see you’ve bought into the globey lie of a round earth.

Or some artists were dropped by their label for no good reason and years later the artist has to pay the label royalties for playing their own songs.

I finally have a use for one of those empty houses in Sanctuary. I’m going to try and fill it.
Thank you random internet human.
- Comment on "Avatar: The Way of Water" returns to theaters on October 3 5 weeks ago:
I’ll agree with you on the first one. My friend wanted to see it and we saw it in 3D - which I usually avoid. I was blown away by the visuals and actually saw it a second time in theatre about a week later with someone else. I kind of didn’t even pay much attention to the plot and dialogue. I just wanted the visuals.
It wasn’t until I saw it a third time at home without the visuals that I realized just how stupid the movie was.

This is your defence? LOL
Only 29.8% of Americans cared enough to stop a known criminal with an authoritarian bent become the last president you’ll ever have?
31% wanted it,
1.1% voted for someone they knew wouldn’t win.
38.1% don’t give a shit what happens. Possibly these people were purged from voter rolls and had their vote stolen. But knowing Americans, I’d happen to guess that percent is well below .5% of the non-voter segment.
Pathetic.

Are people still going to these drab formulaic movies?

I pirated this movie. I made it 10 minute in before I turned it off and deleted the file. One of the most banal pieces of shit I’ve ever turned off.

The geniuses at microsoft SUCK at naming
Apple is worse. Everything has the same name but gen 1, gen 2, gen 3 as a suffix.
- Comment on Chris Parnell still doesn't know why he was fired and rehired at 'SNL' 1 month ago:
SNL has been shit for 40 years and it’s all because of how they run things behind the scenes. It’s chaos.
If they ran it like a proper production they might actually manage to write some funny bits.

I remember reading a few years ago some anthropologists suggested most cave painting were not done by adults but teens because the content of the drawings. They glorify things they aren’t involved in yet. The big hunt, the hottie cave chick, etc.
Looking at those three drawings, I think that solidifies it’s teens.
