hey there Wild Bill, glad to see a post here again. sorry I quit posting, it was just a number of things. I hope you aren't giving up school time for this, Everett True wouldn't want that.
Hey, aren't you supposed to be focusing on your classes?!? I hope that means they're going well.
I'm glad all that info I put in the sticky was helpful. I'm thinking of taking a break from doing so much social media. The last couple weeks have been rough. Anyway, other people are posting here so I'm glad to see this community will thrive.
Sure, but... is "too much discussion" really a problem that Lemmy has? This is kind of a threatening time for some of us, especially if we don't have a lot of friends irl.
A lot of thought went into that haircut, friend-o.
[The haircut] is wedgy, greasy, somehow old womany, and that, combined with Bardem's machismo, makes it unsettling. The actor himself is supposed to have reacted, "Oh no, now I won't get laid for the next two months," when he saw it.
Now the man behind the cut has emerged. He is a Canadian hairdresser from New Brunswick called Paul LeBlanc who has previously styled hair on movies such as Star Wars and Casino, and who shared an Oscar with make-up artist Dick Smith for his work on Amadeus.
Le Blanc says that his inspiration was from the crusades, "when knights and Muslims were murdering each other, and this was a typical haircut. It was a dangerous time and we wanted to make Javier timeless and dangerous at first sight."
It was kind of funny to watch Hanzawa Naoki, and they'd be like: "As punishment, we're transferring you to this city outside of Tokyo!" And they'd be like: omgz a fate worse than death. And I'd look up the city and it'd be a place with great public transportation, a famous temple, and amazing local cuisine.
"You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won’t be the best workout you have, you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important." -Georges St-Pierre, mixed martial artist
OMG.... I wouldn't have got the joke if you hadn't said that!
Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the U.S. for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959; some were former members of the Nazi Party.
Dunno, I'm not a natural at this, so I'm still "decompressing". I kept thinking of that picture with the kid holding a sign saying "It's so bad, even the introverts are here!"

I mean... you're kind of right, but this is a "read the room" situation.
FWIW most clowns are hard-working, skilled individuals who bring joy to people's lives.
You're right that it varies by state. For example, in Pennsylvania, the ballots have to be received by 8pm on Nov 5. Source: https://www.pa.gov/en/agencies/vote/voter-support/mail-in-and-absentee-ballot.html
Yeah, I know... it's easy to be cynical and do nothing... I have to fight against that feeling every day, I'm dealing with it now even...

The election day ground game is crucial! Don't waste your time just worrying. If you're in the US, look here: https://events.democrats.org/ It's not too late!

We totally need more movies to be set in this era.
Et tu, Bruta?
FWIW the cartoonist Condo lived in Ohio (Toledo, Cleveland, and Findlay) from 1882 to some time after 1910:

p.s. also see Ministry of Space, an alternate history comic book in which the British grab all the scientists instead.
I never really "got" Bach until I saw the smalin visualizations.

Hey, I was working solo through a 42-door canvass list when I saw your post, it was encouraging!
