Yeah. It’s not a big deal, but how you handle it really matters. (This is advice for anyone else reading I’m sure you know)
If you miss your turn because you’re daydreaming or whatever, just keep going. DO NOT swerve three lanes over to an exit or whatever other dumb shit. You fucked up. Deal with it without putting other people in danger.

I was a professional driver for 20 years. I can attest that autopilot is a real thing.
It’s easy to monitor traffic on either side but end up daydreaming and miss a turn.
- Comment on If Open Source is so great... 1 day ago:
The same should be said for any GPS app.
Card end up down pedestrian paths because the driver didn’t think about what the GPS was telling them.
- Comment on "We Were Asleep At The Wheel": Ridley Scott Reflects On Divisive Alien Prequel Prometheus 3 days ago:
Yeah, after Aliens (I like it better than the first one) the franchise went downhill. I still like the newer movies, but that James Cameron guy really seems like he knows a thing a two about how to make a good movie.
- Comment on "We Were Asleep At The Wheel": Ridley Scott Reflects On Divisive Alien Prequel Prometheus 3 days ago:
Huh. Yeah I haven’t followed it that closely, but I seem to remember talk around the releases of those movies that they were part of a trilogy of Ridley Scott directed prequels.
Maybe I’m misremembering, and I haven’t seen Romulus yet, but it doesn’t seem like part of that trilogy from the trailers. 🤷♂️
- Comment on "We Were Asleep At The Wheel": Ridley Scott Reflects On Divisive Alien Prequel Prometheus 3 days ago:
Oh, I didn’t think that was it.
I thought Ridley Scott was supposed to direct all 3 prequels and that Romulus was set after Alien 3
- Comment on "We Were Asleep At The Wheel": Ridley Scott Reflects On Divisive Alien Prequel Prometheus 3 days ago:
Wasn’t this supposed to be a trilogy? We got Covenant, where’s the third movie?

This is why you shouldn’t get rid of all your work. Keep a bit and make it immaculate. If they ask why you haven’t done more, just say “nobody asked me to.”

But that’s not what happened. They literally disappeared, along with the gut biome

Sounds boring
- Comment on Actor Chris Pratt produces faith-based film about military chaplains 1 week ago:
Not the guy you asked, but I’m wondering how a film is “faith-based.”
MASH had a chaplain. It’s been done. 🤷♂️

There’s a ton of great horror-comedies (great if you’re in to that kind of thing anyway)
And Idle Hands is one of them.

Delivering the mail is every bit - if not more - important than killing foreigners for oil

Interesting. Sounds nice.

Yeah apartments don’t usually pay for water or heat where I live. It’s also a huge waste of water
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 3 weeks ago:
Not really an answer to your question, but if you live somewhere that freezes think about where your pipes are.
You gotta heat the bathroom and kitchen and any other rooms that may have pipes running through them.
Or, you could leave your taps trickling, but that expensive too.

- Comment on [Weekly thread] It's Wednesday, which movies have you been watching? 4 weeks ago:
I got a library card recently and realized they have a bunch of DC Comics animated movies I’ve never heard, so I’ve been taking out lots of those lately. Aside from that, I picked up Jacob’s Ladder on my last trip. Haven’t watched it yet.
- Comment on Marvel Studios’ ‘Blade’ Removed From 2025 Release Schedule, Disney Dates ‘Predator: Badlands’ Instead 4 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s been in development hell for a while.
Better they sit on the idea and come back to it later than try to rush it.
- Comment on ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ to Lose $150 Million to $200 Million in Theatrical Run After Bombing at Box Office 5 weeks ago:
Apparently the director didn’t want to do a sequel so he came up with a bad idea that he thought the studio would never go for, but they did.

I don’t see the problem with this. Everything in that 30 second clip was in the movie.

Yeah and then I had a lady ask to check my receipt because there’s not enough room to put everything on the fucking thing all at once so I told her no and walked out.
