- Comment on Daniel Craig Drops Out of DC Studios War Movie 'Sgt. Rock' 1 day ago:
If they are going to do a ww2 comic, I vote for ‘Blackhawk.’ In the original version, Blackhawk was Polish, and his team came from all the Allied nations. Of course, they’d update the Chinese ‘pilot.’

I’m going to have to argue grammar here.
Cismen are ‘cunts’

So, bitchiness isn’t femininity?

- Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? 4 days ago:
Try this book.
“Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail. I always had jobs, and never particularly liked working. I did the tests in the book and got pointed at a job I actually enjoyed doing.
Even on rainy Mondays I didn’t hate having to leave the house.
Having a job you like solves a lot of your problems.
- Comment on But they are two bangin shirts 1 week ago:
Reminds of a twitter exchange I saw a while back [it gets reposted a lot]
A woman complains that there’s a double standard that forces women to buy a lot of clothes and have many different looks.
A man responds that he doesn’t care if he sees a woman wearing the same thing every day.

Based on the short story “They’re Made Of Meat”
- Comment on George Carlin spent nearly his entire life trying to warn us of what is happening 1 week ago:
I only post this because I saw someone say that they’d never vote because Carlin had a comedy routine where he said he’d never vote.
Carlin was an iconoclast; I think he’d hate the idea that people were trying to turn him into an icon. He was an entertainer and happily worked with Fox Television to make a sit com.
- Comment on Why are dwarf planets not considered planets but dwarf stars are considered stars? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s a grammar thing, not a science thing.
For example, we consider everything from Buckingham Palace to a one bedroom house to be a “building.”
Similarly, everything from a broom closet to ballroom is a ‘room.’
- Comment on I'm rich and powerful so I can violate laws and brag about it on social media 2 weeks ago:
“Unapologetic” may be the biggest self own I’ve ever seen.
Every coach I’ve ever had or heard of demanded that the students learn to treat other people with respect.
Only infants don’t have to apologize, because they are infants, and don’t know better.
- Comment on Does anyone know what Trump is going to do with people with mental disabilities who get SSDI? Or can someone link me something on Trump and SSDI since google is cleaning up Trump from searches? 2 weeks ago:
California used to have a great state-wide mental health system. Plenty of beds for people who needed help. Ronald Reagan came in and cut the program to save money. Suddenly the Golden State had a big homelessness problem. That meant that police and prison budgets could be increased.
It worked so well that Reagan did the exact same thing as soon as he was inaugurated.

Don’t discount practical effects. Watch “The Thing” or “American Werewolf in London” if you don’t believe me.
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman Gives Live-Action Comedy Update, Says Star Trek Can “Broaden” 2 weeks ago:
If you are unfamiliar with him, look up a writer named Poul Anderson. He specialized in creating ‘strange new worlds’ and populated them with all sorts of great characters. “War Of The Wingmen” is a good novel to start with.
- Comment on Alex Kurtzman Gives Live-Action Comedy Update, Says Star Trek Can “Broaden” 2 weeks ago:
I been saying this for a while.
Drop all the ‘canon’ lore. No more Klingons, Romulans, Vulcans, or Borg. In fact, no six foot tall, five fingered aliens. Aliens will look completely unlike humans.
Wipe all memory and start 100% fresh.
- Comment on I am in the US and its gotten very political but as pretty much a peon do I just tune the stuff out thinking its fear mongering? Or should I closely pay attention to it? 3 weeks ago:
Politics is life.
You might as well ask to avoid gravity.
- Comment on Is it weird to hate a language because it bring up bad memories/feelings? 3 weeks ago:
If it were me, I’d find a Cantonese speaking actor with a really nice voice and have them record some positive affirmations specific to me.
Things like “You are better than your family,” or “You deserve to feel better.”
You can probably find something similar already recorded on a site like Audible
Just the opinion of a rando on the interwebs.

Murphy’s Razor is the silliest.
It should be “Anything that can be simple will not be.”
- Comment on Is it weird that I have to resort the idea of "Determinism" to be able to move on? 4 weeks ago:
Kurt Vonnegut said this was the best prayer he knew.
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change,
"The courage to change the things I can,
“And the wisdom to know the difference.”
It’s not Joe’s fault he lost his job when the factory closed, it is his fault that he didn’t go to the local college and take some courses to learn a new skill.

Did it ever play in the theaters?
I mean, I saw the coming attractions but I honestly never saw it playing anywhere.

There’s a saying in therapy. If someone is sad all the time they have to learn to get mad, and if they are mad all the time they have to learn to be sad.
- Comment on Yet they know what dishware I'm looking for... 1 month ago:
I just read an old [1940s?] mystery where the culprit records himself on a new fangled phonograph record and then uses that to cover his crime. His employees know he’s in the habit of locking his door and playing loud music/talking to himself while he works, so no one suspects locks the door to his office. Later they all swear he was at work when the murder occurred.
- Comment on We overpaid you and need you to pay back $.23 1 month ago:
True story.
I use EZ Pass. I got a letter from them telling me they had taken 46 cents out of my account. The cost of the stamp on the letter was 48 cents.
- Comment on Nicole Kidman on Babygirl, Stanley Kubrick, Madonna and Courtney Love 1 month ago:
NY Times used to have a series where the reporter would sit with two celebs. One that stands out was a conversation with Anjelica Houston and Sophia Coppola. Both are third generation Oscar winners. That’s the kind of interview I like to read.
- Comment on Nicole Kidman on Babygirl, Stanley Kubrick, Madonna and Courtney Love 1 month ago:
Vapid interview, don’t bother. mho
- Comment on I can't hear you 1 month ago:
The only person who tried to talk to you when you had headphones on was your grandmother. The rest of the family gave up on you long ago.
- Comment on Racism nas gone too woke! 1 month ago:
My favorite Kurt Vonnegut book is ‘Mother Night.’ At one point a white supremist teams up with ‘The Black Fuhrer of Harlem.’ An FBI man asks the white guy why he’s working with an African-American?
“We both agree that the wrong people are in charge.”
- Comment on It insists upon itself 1 month ago:
Also, knowing who to shoot and when to kill them is kind of a big deal.
The man who shot Don Vito thought he was untouchable because he was going to the meeting with a police captain.
