  Interesting because they’ve published things on home media in Europe fairly quickly and consistently. You just have to import them. At least most of the shows I’ve been interested in (Marvel Defenders, etc)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite PG rated horror movie?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The MPAA rating system didn’t start widespread use until the early 1970s, and even then (as you’d expect since since it is the MPA"A") only in the USA. Other rating systems in other countries followed later (for the most part).

  So any movie prior to that would have been unrated when it came out. Especially if it was a non-USA production.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite PG rated horror movie?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Does “Jaws” count? It wouldn’t be PG these days but I’d say it counts as horror.

  “The Birds” was technically unrated when it came out. I’ve seen it rated as PG-13 now, but not sure what that’s based on since it is from way before PG-13.

  Someone has to sell them new in order to get them thrift.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NBA unveils special full color courts for in season tournament⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was just thinking I hate it… Maybe I’m just old, but those aren’t Spurs colors for any color scheme they’ve ever had, and I’ve never seen that logo at mid court.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[What if scenario] What if all commercial institutions suddenly decided they no longer intend to acknowledge religious events such as Christmas?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the people you’re thinking about as a problem haven’t read the Bible either. They’d think the stuff Jesus said was commie, bleeding-heart, socialist stuff (because it is)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you get the dry boogers out if you don’t pick your nose?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.

  Or my favorite variation: You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t wipe your friends on the underside of the car seat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your biggest nostalgia ?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sitting on the floor and building whatever I wanted with the, maybe 800, Lego bricks I had.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Thanos had, instead of randomly wiping out 50% of all living things, he had instead in each species wiped out only the dumbest 50% what would the reaction of each avenger have been?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’d still be appalled and try to stop him given their strong moral code. And given that they’d be at full strength they’d probably find a way to stop him and reverse things faster than they did in OTL

  I can’t think of an Avenger or even sidekick who I would put in the bottom 50% of the earth’s population. Even the dumbest are probably in the top 10-15%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't we pump seawater into deserts to revive them?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been done before (though not intentionally at first), at the Salton Sea.

  And the results weren’t that bad (granted possibly a smaller scale than some are imagining when they forecast doom).

  ppic.org/…/the-troubled-history-and-uncertain-fut…

  But the problem is any deserts are deserts for a reason: lack of rainfall and/or natural inflow from rainwater upstream. The result is that you have to keep pumping in tons of water and/or rely on agricultural runoff which is nutrient-depleted and usually full of chemicals.

  Read the rest of the linked article for what’s going on with that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If we are worried about microplastics, why isnt there more outrage over "microfiber" ?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Plastic fibers would be covered under microplastic concerns, and organic fibers (cotton, wool, etc) are easily broken down and don’t stick around in your system.

  Plastics don’t ever go away. They hang around, and we’re discovering they hang around in our bodies too. Organic fiber stuff can be easily broken down or passed through your body.

  Same for me in the USA

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think the Spurs are doing too much with Wemby?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Getting a new, young star that’s at risk of being a media/paparazzi target out of Las Vegas seems like a pretty good idea to me. That’s the potential connection between Brittany and the summer league
