I think he’s like most long-time actors. He’s had some great roles that wouldn’t have been anywhere near as good had someone else done it, and he’s had “meh” and flops.
You can’t act for 40-ish years and not have a mixed bag.

“Lila” is a name applied to a picture with text written by the author attempting to emotionally manipulate the reader into forming some sort of attachment to the image.
Maybe I’m too cynical, but the internet has soured me to these stories. Like the “trolley test” trying to force the viewer to choose between who dies, I see the man behind the curtain making the reader responsible for the results, and they can get fucked.

I never understood the argument about waiting for ED/ER care in socialized medicine vs the US’s.
Everyone is triaged, everyone waits in the ER. The sprained ankle or sniffle goes last, the stroke is seen immediately. Every country’s medical system has medical mistakes.
Like the meme says, the US will bankrupt you for care - and in no small part because people will put off care until a condition is potentially serious because they can’t afford to take time off for it or the cost of the care itself.

Every hotel ever these days it seems. I guess it’s cheaper than replacing a curtain, or the curtain rod every jackass seems to have to yank on and bend for some reason.

It needs to yell it at a startling volume compared to what you were listening at.
- Comment on Let’s start protecting people instead of profits 4 days ago:
We’re basically headed toward a dystopic authoritarian oligarchy with huge disparity. It’s gonna look like all those fictional dystopias portrayed in Elysium or Neuromancer but without all the cool tech. Yeah, we should have these social programs for people…but unless we crush the oligarchy they’ll create continuous pressure to make sure these social programs are as shitty as possible and be functionally the caricature of socialism the right wing uses for its propaganda. They won’t stop bleeding the people for more. But the thing is, if we get rid of the oligarchy we’ll not need such a huge social safety net*.
*we should have a good one anyway, but it shouldn’t be a response to the disparity created by billionaires, we should just have one by default.

And this is why libertarianism is bullshit.
- Comment on The Price of this Candy Bar 5 days ago:
Read my edit. Someone asked about lbs and I saw the large price and “2”, so my brain went to “absurdly large American candy bar for $6+”
My mistake.
- Comment on The Price of this Candy Bar 5 days ago:
Ah, I got confused thinking it was a 2lb bar, some absurd weight for the price. Def not. My mistake.
That’s then $1.25/oz which is definitely a very expensive bar.
- Comment on The Price of this Candy Bar 5 days ago:
2 lb bar @ 6.49 is 20¢/oz.
Snickers King Size is about $3 @ 3.29 oz.
The 2lb bar despite the sticker shock is a far cheaper candy bar by weight.
- Comment on The Price of this Candy Bar 5 days ago:
Lbs is a shortened version of the Greek word for measuring scales. So it actually doesn‘t mean a specific weight, but more like “weighed” or something.

It never ceases reminding me that trying to pigeonhole ND people by their “condition” never works. That’s why it’s a spectrum.

Don’t loan your friend money.
Give it to them and never expect it back.
That old saying about loaning a friend money means you’ll probably lose the money and the friend both is pretty true.

Just standard modern conservatism. Wrecking a few people’s lives is worth catching people doing nothing wrong. But you might.

Typical askreddit post, lol.

Right up there with all the “have you ever sexy sexed the sexything? Would you if a sexyperson was involved?”
