That’s so cute. Can we step on it now?
- Comment on Favorite B-Movies? 2 days ago:
Yeah, I used a carriage return between them but I guess Lemmy doesn’t work that way.
- Comment on Favorite B-Movies? 3 days ago:
Gataca was a more recent film, like 2008 or something. It starred Ethan Hawk, Jude Law and Uma Thurman. Ethan plays a naturally born person trying to excel in a world where only generically enhanced people seem to have any rights. It’s a little slow and cerebral but I like underdog stories. Fun fact, the name Gataca was derived from the four letters used to define genes G A T and C.

Big trouble and buckaroo bonsai are two of my favorites.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 1 week ago:
Why would you come back?
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 2 weeks ago:
Eyes Wide Shut. What a piece of crap.
- Comment on Which actor did not have a single bad film? 2 weeks ago:
He DOES have some bad movies, but not many. I really don’t like the guy either, but I like a lot of his movies. You forgot Oblivion and Jerry Maguire for instance.

Better than lying and feeding him a line of BS that he can be president or an astronaut or something when the likelihood is so low. Tell him he would make a great accountant. Is he good at math. LOL.

Great. So we’re stuck like this?

I heard that NASA upgraded the likelihood of Earth being hit by an asteroid and I thought to myself…that might not be so bad.
- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry, but this is NOT the kind of person I want in prison. AND I don’t want prisons profiting off her misery.
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I would say the same thing about Americans (yes I know you’re Americans too. I think we all know I mean the US). If you meet MAGA on the street in a non-political way, they might be super nice. You might have a great interaction. I have traveled around the world and I maintain that food service personnel in the US are the friendliest. I’m guessing many of them are MAGA.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 weeks ago:
Well that was my point. Tariffs give greed the opportunity to metastasize in the darkness, because people expect the price to go up anyway.
- Comment on What is your favorite movie? 2 weeks ago:
- Forrest Gump.
- Shawshank Redemption.
- The Marian.
- Dances with Wolves.
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 2 weeks ago:
Ah, don’t be so hard on yourself. I’ve only had great experiences traveling in Canada and I like to think of Canadians as our brothers. There’s good and bad everywhere. I might have had a miserable trip to New Zealand if I had left just an hour later. Who knows.
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 2 weeks ago:
New Zealand. So wanted to stay there. Made Canadians look a little rude. LOL.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 2 weeks ago:
This is the problem with tariffs, it’s an opportunity for greedy corporations to increase prices MORE than the tariffs or on products not covered by the tariffs and no one will be the wiser.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 2 weeks ago:
Ha!! I’m not old at all. I got 21 points!
- Comment on Rocky rock rocking 3 weeks ago:
Is it? Could be a pebble. We don’t have a scale after all.
- Comment on What is a TV show that was one of your favourites, but just went on for far too long? 3 weeks ago:
Virtually all of them that went beyond four seasons.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 4 weeks ago:
Well, yeah, this is essentially why I’m not running.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 4 weeks ago:
RUN! I don’t know why people get so attached to a piece of land, especially when it can cost you your life. They are artificial lines created on the globe. The real question, is where to run.
- Comment on What was the 'bear vs man' controversy? 5 weeks ago:
I think you may have missed a small but important part of the concept. I believe women also felt the LIKELIHOOD of a man being dangerous was higher than the bear’s, for all the reasons you stated.
If women had overall very favorable interactions with men they might choose the man in the woods because a bear is very unlikely to help her. So the man would be the obvious choice with such a low probability event. But to them, it isn’t low probability and that speaks volumes.
- Comment on Who gets all the tariff money about to be collected from US citizens buying products from Canada? 1 month ago:
Well the US collects taxes and a tariff is a tax so yeah, it will generate funds to run the government. I think this is why Trump likes them. He sees a huge influx in the taxes collected. Plus his followers are so stupid they think China/Canada/Mexico is paying them. Win/win for him. No wonder he thinks it’s the greatest word in the dictionary.
