I'm a flex player, so I don't really have a main but Peni is my favorite to play and the one I'm best with.

If I hated them any more than I do now, I'd be a republican. Or they would.

Much of the USA government and society is specifically built around making sure something like this could never be effective.

Good fucking riddance. I've been going to retro toy/anime/video game conventions for almost ten years and more and more space has been dedicated to dickheads selling these stupid things.

She called the prince in Snow White a stalker and that the original film is dated during the promotion of the live-action Snow White.

That's kind of hilarious.

Just accept it. There's no need to compound the unavoidable negative effects of modern food by stressing about them. Avoid all the most obviously and easily avoidable harmful things and move on.

she said the wrong things at the wrong time

Never really saw the appeal in any of it, so no.

No reason to celebrate or feel good. He's another evil person who got way more time on this planet than they ever deserved and died never getting what was actually deserved. Another bad guy won. Shit sucks.

Loool oh come on Eric is cool!

Also I always liked that southern playing actress, who was in that one singing movie with kendrick. She felt like a parks and rec character. Except like, completely extreme.

It's a lot better than Twilight but still not anywhere near good enough to warrant the level of derision there was.

I watched it a few months ago and had to track down and attack all the people I knew who liked it while shitting on Twilight.

Mandatory re-education and mass incarcerations are the only way, honestly, and that will require a country that actually cares about punishing white supremacists. That is not and has never been America, so yeah, lost cause.

Because Europe wasn't sending their best 500 years ago.

I have a sci-fi novella series that was initially based on that premise. I diverged from it once I realized the comics had explored the themes I wanted to, or outright did a lot of my ideas (some of them scene for scene and word for word).

There's zero interest from traditional publishing and I don't know if I want to self-publish but I'm pretty sure there's an audience for it, so I do want to get it out there.

No. I want more and zanier crossovers.

I didn't like it. I also didn't like Hereditary.

I remember this thread on homebrew-talk about session beers where people were arguing about what the limit was and some people were legit arguing up to 6% ABV. As the conversation went on, you could sense the gears turning in a lot of people's heads that they might have a drinking problem.

Nope. Even hated it as a kid, which made being a young adult in the peak Hot Topic emo/scene years really difficult.

That's definitely a Test Big Boot

By watching the self-help series Being Human (Syfy, not BBC).

As an aspiring author with dozens of completed projects and zero confidence to do anything with them, I admire the delusion.

Of all the things you could've put after "Trump should've," you go with that?

I hate Steve Carell so my views on The Office are skewed but I really enjoyed The Paper.

I liked all three of them, though The Marvels is way below the others. She-Hulk telegraphing the manosphere hate they got was some beautiful shit though.

He was always shit on immigration. I remember this being one of the key issues that would bring out the "Bernie was the compromise candidate" by the electorally-abstinent far left who were harangued when they couldn't find even him palatable enough.

By the end of the Full House one, I paused it because I absolutely could not remember what the right one sounded like and it was freaking me out.

I can accept Jigsaw, the nuanced, sympathetic monster as the backdrop for other characters' stories but a whole movie of playing him straight(er) against an unambiguously evil person right out of The Villain Factory is a non-starter for me. Terribly uninteresting premise that brought down the whole thing.

As for VI, I'll take the criticism on that placement because it really wasn't any better or worse than a lot of the others I placed higher. It just didn't resonate with me AT ALL for whatever reason and is the only one I struggled to get through aside from X.

1 > 4 > 2 > 5 > 7 = 8 > 3 > 9 > 6 > 10

I don't have it in me to do a detailed breakdown of each movie. I will say 1 is the only truly decent movie out of all of them but I was surprised that some of them weren't just complete shit, even if they were all repetitive and convoluted. Most of them still had some fun and neat things here and there that made them worth a watch. The bleakness of them is also just hilarious after a bit, in a "Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes" kind of way. The thing I hated most about them was how hand-holdsy the flashbacks were.

In terms of horror franchises running too long and declining in quality, it doesn't seem any more egregious than any other. I was really expecting something way worse based on where I had left the franchise (the third one) and the way people shit on it. These lows are indeed low but honestly, I'm not sure they're any lower than the lows of all the other big horror hitters. I'd re-watch 9, 6, or 10 before I'd re-watch like 75% of the movies in the Halloween franchise, for example. Of course, none of these could dream of being half as good as the original Halloween, but still.

Overall, I don't regret watching them but I'm not recommending them.

I hate Hasan, dogs, all forms of animal abuse, and selective outrage about animal abuse so this whole ordeal has my head spinning.

Reminder: There's 10 of them.

I usually do 31 horror movies in 31 days for October/Halloween, anyway, and I'm already in it, so might as well go all in.

I think I'm going to make a separate topic so I can be as spoilery as I want.

beef farmers can get fucked either way tbqh

I watched the first two again because of this topic and enjoyed them as much as I remember (well, as much as these movies can be enjoyed upon re-watching).

I've unfortunately decided to just to roll with it and go through with the whole franchise as I have far too much downtime and not enough energy/attention span for worthwhile endeavors.

I'll report back after each movie.

Three still sucks btw.

I'd say 2012/13 at the latest.

this might sound unhinged but I think he's bait, honestly.

I like one and two. Three sucked and I don't think I saw any after that.

I'm a huge fan of AFI.

I really enjoyed this one because it hearkens back to something they used to be really good at: putting together a cohesive album. All of their best albums are pretty masterfully arranged and very flow-y, best consumed in full, in order, no skippables.

Somewhere along the way, they lost the ability to do that and it seemed more and more like they just put out a collection of songs with nothing in particular binding one to the next. In everything from DU to Bodies, it was painfully clear there were favorites and fillers. Even if there were good tracks on an album, they felt out of place or were blunted in a dud sandwich.

This one, on the other hand, feels like a very carefully and deliberately curated album and I love to see... erm... hear it.

I enjoyed each song but my highlights:

Holy Visions
VOIDWARD, I BEND BACK (my personal favorite and one that might make top 50 AFI songs for me <_<)
Nooneunderground

I'll have to give it like six or seven more listens before I have my final thoughts. I'm thinking it's a solid B-tier. I'm hesitant to give it an A-tier rating because I feel too much of it would be owed to what an upswing it is from Bodies.

I don't know how to behave myself. I will not elaborate.

(also for this particular one, I'm recovering from surgery and not doing jack shit anyway)

overblown

I was also a natural lucid dreamer, and just had wild-ass dreams in general, for as long as I can remember. I found out pretty early on that I could "wake up" in the dream and while I was terrified at first because I thought I was stuck, I eventually gained a bit of control over it. It wasn't like full-on world crafting though. For instance, I couldn't intentionally dream up people <_<

Sadly, I attribute it to a very traumatic childhood and the resulting C-PTSD because once I got a grip on things and found the ability to handle the waking world well enough to start enjoying life, my ability to do it was severely diminished.

The only time it happens now is if I'm supremely stressed and overwhelmed. I do still have crazy ass dreams on the regular but now I realize I'm dreaming and just wake up instead of hanging around.

If I lucid dream, it's never during one of my crazy dreams but the exact opposite. I'm just kind of chilling in an empty room and having a convo with myself about why it's happening. Last time it happened, I just said, "I don't have time for this. Call (therapist) in the morning" and literally laid my ass down on the bare floor and went to sleep in the dream.

But yeah, sleep is just for sleep now. I haven't really thought about trying to do it because I'm usually so exhausted that I'm out when my head hits the pillow and everything goes autopilot.

(This is just my experience. I am in no way implying that there's a concrete connection between lucid dreaming and an unfulfilling/traumatic life, only stating that I'm pretty sure that's why it happened for me)

Dislike both. Billy Idol is another musician I've heard my whole life but only recently realized I don't actually like.

Pho, easily

ramen kinda sucks.

No. Eating pigs is evil.

guiado was robbed

Yes.

Yep. Plenty of complex carbs and fiber from whole grains and legumes, healthy fats from nuts and seeds, usually served with antioxidant rich fruits and veggies. I have a small amount of processed foods here and there, I'm only human, but it's few and far between.

harm reduction is the only way to go
