Well, there’s no reason for you to feel like mages have all the fun on the sidelines. If you’re all the way to Drangleic Castle, you should have access to a Soul Vessel and can freely respec to an Int build if you’d like to try it. Just bring the vessel back to the witches from the start of the game and swap over
I don’t know about Galaxy Quest, but the early 2000s were big for the R-rated sex comedy, it’s probably the defining genre for that time period in my mind. Wet Hot American Summer, Wedding Crashers, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Another Gay Movie, etc. Idk what exactly it was and I think a lot of the era aged pretty poorly tbh, but it was definitely the style of the time. You even kinda see it bleed into other genres of the era, like Freddie vs Jason is ostensibly a horror film but has a lot of shots that would not look out of place in a raunchy comedy.
There was even going to be a third movie, but between the second one underperforming and Freddie walking away citing issues with censorship of the first movie, which I believe was initially going to go for an R-rating, as well as the studio kinda underpaying everyone for the second, it got canned.
What’s wild is that while I remember loving the second film as a kid, as an adult I think the first is just a fundamentally better movie. There’s a lot of fun moments in the second, like sexy Velma or Shaggy and Scooby raiding a fridge of potions, but the plot really feels like an excuse to have a series of unconnected bits, whereas the first is like a real movie with characters having arcs.
so far my cats have watched Inuyasha, Bleach, the One Piece 4kids dub, and Ranma 1/2. Considering they seem just as happy watching the TV’s demo reel, I think they just enjoy the lights and colors. It’s some enrichment in their environment though, so I always try to put something on for them if I’m gonna be out of the house for a chunk of time.
this is the part that really baffles me, though I guess I can’t expect much from the class that seems to be literally incapable of foresight.
Like say AI actually does get there. Some company is able to crack human consciousness and we get truly intelligent AI, good enough to replace your workforce with… that AI isn’t going to be free. It’s going to be a monthly fee for your business. and then when you’re fully reliant on AI, when skilled labor is simply too difficult to cultivate any further, it’s going to inevitably enshittify. These corpos will end up slaves to the AI company.
It’s like they fundamentally cannot see that they are giving up control. They’re so fucking stupid.
I think anyone who seriously wants to defend society as we know it needs to have their brain examined. Studying it could help us prevent future generations from becoming so stupid.
Yeah, it’s a hot new thing so it’s definitely getting overprescribed. I got diagnosed with it after some intermittent vomiting with lots of nausea. After the symptoms still persisted after six months without smoking any, they started to take me a little more seriously. I’ve also known friends who’ve had issues misdiagnosed.
At this point, it seems like if you’ve smoken marijuana and have any stomach issue, they’ll say it’s CHS
I would make the argument that our species resorting to violent conflict over shareable resources is a pretty damning indictment of human nature.
Tribalism exists, it’s a scientific fact. You can overcome the biases it imposes through cognitive effort, but at a baseline we are predisposed to hate anyone who we believe “doesn’t belong.” That’s not inherently evil, but it is asshole behavior.
what if we kept the animals in a big dome
There was a brief time when Tommy Chong was on a band under the name “4 N*'s and a C*,” and every now and again I remember that fact and think “What the actual fuck was he thinking.”
I mean, it’s the Israeli special so yeah probably. but at the same time, it doesn’t seem like Iran seriously expects them to agree to it either, so they’re at least prepared for the sudden but inevitable betrayal.
yeaaa.
It’d be nice to go out and get whatever food I want, but I have to eat the cheap groceries I have in my apt because I need money to be allowed to continue living
I dunno if it was the best, but the pizza that lives in my memory was a whopping 24" pizza from a local place. That’s over 450 square inches of 'za, or 11 square meters for the Europeans.
It was glorious, and took four incredibly high stoners about a day and a half to work through.
I’m talking from a US perspective, but I work in an education adjacent field that reviews a lot of homeschool student’s academic records from across the country. IMO, there are two types of homeschoolers. There’s the students who are truly brilliant living in a part of the country that doesn’t value education, and they’re practically forced into homeschooling (or a popular online program like Stanford Online High School) in order to receive an actual education that could challenge them. They do get less socialization than their traditional schooled peers, but they’d get mercilessly bullied at a traditional school so it’s hard to say how much value that socialization has.
The other type are the religious fundies. I have even more hands-on experience with this style, as some of my cousins were homeschooled in this manner. IMO, this shit should be illegal. It’s accepted because someone is typically monitoring these students’ academic progress, but I can say with confidence that Republican states are letting a lot of shit slide. It’s religious indoctrination at a level beyond what you would even find at a religious private school. Typically, these students are better socialized than the other homeschool students, though with the caveat that all their socialization happens in religious settings.
sorry full of valuable resources? what, corn? dataservers? pedophiles?
the U.S. is not some piggy bank waiting to be cracked. Realistically, the current US military exists to defend America from all the nations it’s pissed off by invading them in the past. It’s a self-fullfilling system.
actually, from a historical perspective, it’s been the Dems who have accelerated ICE. Biden and especially Obama were much more instrumental in the agency coming into more and more power. Trump’s getting to play with the toy now, but it was bought by Dems.
I’m about to take a super shit on the villain of the week
don’t let the others get you down, wanting to lick/bite is perfectly normal bottom behavior
Wouldn’t the issue be that the message of the prequels was too muddied and not understood by general audiences? Like I feel Lucas really did try and put together a story about how fascism can flourish in the face of weak liberalism, democracy dying in thunderous applause, etc but it didn’t quite land because almost all the dialogue was written by an alien.
