It's absolutely the best way to see the films. I want to see what the movie was like with the limitations of the time. That's what made it amazing. A lot of modern movies suffer from being able to CGI everything, so they all just turn out boring.
The original Dragonlance book, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, didn't need a map. Because a major plot point was that all the maps they had were pre-cataclysm and over a hundred years old. They had smaller local maps, but no explorers had stitched them together as 100 years is short to do that. So traveling over the map outside of where they would normally be in their lives, meant they couldn't be sure where they were going or where they'd end up.
They went to Tarsis-by-the-sea to take a ship to cut down their travel time, only to find it had become a dry seabed.
They did still have a map, but much more local to where the group started out and lived. I suppose that's why in most fantasy settings, you need a local map, because big world ones like Tolkien had require a lot of stability over a long period of time, along with trade and a market for large map.
Oh great, another insane person in charge of exactly what they shouldn't be. An Abortion Hunter in charge of the CDC, a brain worm in RFK's skin in charge of health, and a rapist con man in charge of everything.
Is it just to piss us off and distract us? Are these candidates just sucking up to Trump the right way? Are these powerful people intentionally destroying the country faster to end the world? Is it just greed?
I feel like it's all of that, but I'm really tired of it and really tired of being so powerless to do anything about it.
None of the stuff they develop trickles down to us, though. Certainly not for free. Unlike NASA discoveries, which were taxpayer funded. We had a stake in it.
I'd love to know the rate of return on ads that show up when you search for something. Does anyone actually want to buy anything from an intrusive search result? I can't imagine it's worth the aggravation.
To hear that they're pulling back from it in the future means we've been suffering on some executive's hope that we're just waiting to buy more all the time.
Too little, too late for many of their previous users.
I might be too proud now, but I would never take abuse from a supervisor/manager again. I quit my previous job after shabby treatment and was unemployed a few months in 2023. Luckily I had a safety net built up that allowed me to do it.
There's nothing more pathetic than a low level manager trying to flex what little authority they have to make themselves feel important. I'd laugh in their face and ignore them. They can fire me if it's that important. It never is. You won't get promoted or a raise that way. But in this economy I don't expect that anyway.
I went in the early summer, and it was a nice, sleepy town. Not crowded, but it was super hot. I'm looking forward to going back! Art at TST changes so it's always interesting to see what's new.
If you're saying your current job at fast food is rewarding, check back in a year with us. Or whenever you quit. Tyrannical managers, unrealistic metrics, no compassion for employees, all drain you quick at fast food. No vacation time, no sick time, yet you have to be ready to pick up a shift within hours.
Maybe you've got a good boss. I hope it works out. I work a desk job in IT and whole I don't see physical results, I'm much happier than working in the service industry. I couldn't make it work there.
Right up until they don't. I remember Android phone makers championing the 3.5mm headphone jacks when Apple decided not to have them anymore. Now Samsung and Google don't have them either.
I mean, good for Sega, but I have a hard time not expecting them to just be saying this for P.R.
20 more years of marvel slop? Who's going to still be watching it, Kevin? No one wants to see them now. Definitely not in 20 years. That's generational fatigue.
Interesting, because 3 million genuine comments for net neutrality in 2017 was not enough to save it (21 million total, but 17 million were likely bots from ISPs). 30k in opposition seems small. I wonder if something else was going on? Maybe they didn't really care about the directive as it wouldn't make them richer? But it certainly unites people against the administration, so that's a win. Maybe Trump is to senile to push Heritage Foundation goals anymore.
Anyway, it's good news and I'll take it! Keep fighting!
Zeal and Ardor, Oranssi Pazuzu, Perturbator all come to mind with multiple albums that would qualify. Though I guess none of them have reached the heights of Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast. But that's a high bar!
Why is it a shitty corporation, if you don't mind expounding upon your thoughts?

It sure feels real. I have a very vague memory of all of that happening. Or maybe I watched a YouTube video about it years ago? It's hard to say.
I do remember they had pictures of the lid during commercial breaks for a while leading up to it, to build hype.

It's all a grift. Celebrities found they can make money off of suckers by putting their name on a crappy product and charging more.
All I see are Krusty brand products. It was common in the 90s, but it's absolutely rampant today.

Good luck and protect your sanity!

Only if you can prove it!

Well he wasn't wrong. News anchors had earpieces so they could hear what the producer was saying. I assume they still do?
It would look like a spy gadget, kind of work like one, but it wasn't ever a secret.
EDIT: also, I believe "snuck" is correct, not "sneaked". Am I the crazy one here?
If I could tell Iran one thing, I'd say "Prove it!"
I'm glad I went with IPVanish over Mullvad. Very similar in features and price.

Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants!
