Or we will pull through it, jettisoning the billionaire capitalist class and learning how to survive and thrive again.
Do I believe it? Fuck no. But it’s not worth discarding the possibility. I’ve spent my life trying to be better. Others can too. And enough people trying to be better might be able to pull through.
- Comment on How are you actually doing today? 3 days ago:
Stressed as all hell. My job depends on the things Trump is currently trying to block. If that goes, I dunno how to pay the mortgage.
So I’m exhausted, haven’t slept well in a week. Otherwise okay. I’ve got my family and my pets. Friends to play games with.

He looks a bit sketchy.
- Comment on Marvel Snap is banned, just like TikTok 1 week ago:
When they get it back up and running, they should apologize for The Blip.
- Comment on if you've had or have anger issues, how did you become a better human? 2 weeks ago:
As an atheist, this.
Can I change it? No? Not worth my effort to fester over.
I can focus on those things I can change, and try to expand that area, but being upset that other people are wrong is endless.
- Comment on Hollywood Doesn’t Make Movies Like ‘The Fugitive’ Anymore 3 weeks ago:
As the one who said it was a remake of a show, I will give you that. It was peak adaptation of an older show. You’re very right there, it’s a damn good movie that stands on its own, regardless of where the idea came from.
I just liked throwing that typical argument back in the face of the writer. Hollywood keeps trying to recapture that lightning in a bottle, and gets criticized for it.
We just had The Fall Guy, too!
- Comment on Hollywood Doesn’t Make Movies Like ‘The Fugitive’ Anymore 3 weeks ago:
It was a remake of an old TV show.
I thought Hollywood was all out of ideas?!
- Comment on Opinion | Biden Left Us With a ‘Prius Economy’ [a hybrid model of green energy and fossil fuels, wedged together side by side.] It’s Time for Something Different. 3 weeks ago:
We are about to be left with an economy stripped for parts.
- Comment on Discussion - what is the last movie you couldn't finish? 1 month ago:
Hundreds of Beavers.
I knew nothing about it going in other than good buzz, and it never drew me in at all. Made it about twenty minutes.
Way back in the day? My mom and I walked out of Death Becomes Her in the theater. It’s a very tonally confused movie, but the main issue was that it had been days or weeks since her mom had died.
- Comment on What video game company/developer/publisher loves shitting on it's fans? 1 month ago:
In 1983 or so I bought a Japanese themed RPG for the Apple IIe published by EA.
It didn’t like the disk drive we had, so the copy protection would reboot over and over.
There were only two models of disk drive for the Apple IIe.
EA has always been this way.

Fuck EA.
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 2 months ago:
I always dissolve into laughter at the ‘going into town for supplies’ scene. It’s just perfect.

That’s awesome! Glad you found yourself. Not everyone does.
- Comment on ‘It’s the damnedest thing I’ve ever seen’: 10 film flops that became classics – ranked! 2 months ago:
Strange Days is a classic?
I thought of it as a bit too clunky in its execution. But I’ll admit Juliette Lewis has always been a distractingly terrible actor in my eyes. And she can’t sing either.
I will admit it’s good enough to deserve a better reception than it’s theatrical release though.

I would never trust anything Kennedy said.
- Comment on Why am I seeing "plan your voting day strategy" so often? 3 months ago:
We don’t have these issues here in Minnesota. Plenty of polling places, short lines.
Here in Duluth I live right across the street from the church that is a polling station. Never taken me more than ten minutes including the walk there and back.

- Comment on Row erupts over Farage constituency surgeries after he told LBC the public ‘will flow through door with knives' 4 months ago:
Yup, thank you again. I’d gathered from the article that it was likely a sort of political consultation but even looking in a dictionary didn’t exactly clear it up.
- Comment on Row erupts over Farage constituency surgeries after he told LBC the public ‘will flow through door with knives' 4 months ago:
Thank you!
- Comment on Row erupts over Farage constituency surgeries after he told LBC the public ‘will flow through door with knives' 4 months ago:
I’m a dumb American who has never seen the word surgeries used in this context. Can someone explain?
- Comment on Do deaf people play media with sound on? 4 months ago:
He was an asshole too. But it is something easier to forget without the audible cue.
- Comment on Do deaf people play media with sound on? 4 months ago:
I lived with a deaf man for a few months and one thing I noticed is he would often forget to turn off the water in the kitchen.
He didn’t watch TV at all and was not at all respectful when someone was watching or listening to something. Just constant interruptions.
- Comment on If the obscenely wealthy benefit most from having Republicans in power; and collectively they have disproportionate control over the economy; wouldn't they use that power to sabotage Democrats? 4 months ago:
I’m 50 and I hate that piece of shit.
- Comment on Andrew Greenberg, co-creator of the classic RPG Wizardry, has passed away 5 months ago:
My first CRPG, only behind D&D.
My dad ran a campaign for our family when I was seven or so. Original D&D, not even advanced. It didn’t last terribly long but left a lifelong impression.
- Comment on Steam Suffers Major DDoS Attack During Launch of “Black Myth: Wukong” 5 months ago:
Probably Epic. It’s one of the times Steam is at peak usage and sabotaging a big Steam launch would ‘work well’ for them.
Of course trying to sabotage and failing makes Steam look better, which is why Epic continues to flounder.
- Comment on Megalopolis | Official Trailer 5 months ago:
It’s really not a good sign when Coppola spends a third of the trailer harping on his own hits and how critics at the time didn’t appreciate them and uses it as a callback.
Feels a little bit like Stephen King writing himself into The Dark Tower.
- Comment on [Discussion] What do you think about "Knives out" movies? 5 months ago:
I can’t get over them still calling them Knives Out mysteries. It really seems like a terrible misstep.
They were fun movies but not compelling enough mysteries.

Of his movies, I’ve only seen I Heart Huckabees, and after reading about his antics during the filming, fuck that guy.
