It's funny how much this scene has changed. As someone who read the book, it makes me forget which variation happened in the book.
How all this evolved from Han being the only one who shot is kind of silly. Is the scene that much character defining?

Talk to a doctor. sounds like Depression.
When I bring up emotions to my doctor, they basically ask questions about motivation, old tasks you would enjoy, etc.
If you really can't find enjoyment, then I can almost guarantee it's depression. I'm not a doctor though.

It doesn't take long to bake a pizza.
It's all still a lazy, luxury. Being lazy isn't always bad, you just gotta earn it. When it's all the time, you're just a lazy person. Where will it end?
It's easy to be lazy, but the easy and the right thing are not always the same thing.

I'm a lazy person, but I earn it for it myself. I don't rely much on others, just public services like heating and water. If I eat someone else's food or drink, it's an occasion, not part of my routine.

Too long: those who fail to plan, plan to fail. There's lots of (lazy) backup options for those who fail to plan.

Look at most processed canned and frozen goods. The amount of salt is not reflective to taste.
It is also something quite personal that can build a tolerance to. So like something being salty could eventually taste fine. I imagine with all the ramen I eat, my salt taste is a little weak.

It's everything after that killed Sega. America wanted to ride out the genesis with accessories and add ons, really diminishing confidence in the company and Japan was moving on, but both didn't seem to communicate well with each other.
Once Adidas took over, they killed the dreamcast and Sega's hardware market (until this point at least), though that would take a few years and Sega of America dropping games for like a year on Saturn.

Unions are needed to stop corporate greed and exploitation. Unions also help keep lazy and incompetent workers in the way. We need something in the middle.


A good management team plus union is incredible. You feel safe, most people work hard and management has a lot of pull and freedom with their workers. Management can deal with the lazy workers and the union can deal with any problem the worker may have.

It's a shift.
Games have changed a bit. There's still games being made that would fit in with older generations but new gamers don't want that. They started to play games now for a reason.

Start playing games you missed and it's like a new game. I miss games being really arcade like, but also being a full game as well. Like, fighters with a ton of unlockable characters.
You still see these things, just not as much.

Using cash though, that's scary. Young kids really take security for granted. It scares me when someone can't pay cause all they have is apple pay on their phone. They are mostly adults, but that to me is a child/teen. An adult isn't reliant on so many things.

There's like a bicycle handle bar looking thing for push ups, sit ups, etc. You just place it on the ground however you wanna use it.
There's also push up handles that twist to enhance your push up.
Most things you'll find that is convenient, will probably only enhance a workout instead of provide a new one.
There's cycle wheels you can put on the ground to pedal anytime.

I'm a current barista... I can confirm the water is just about all the same. Some spouts may have a few degree difference, but that's due to it travelling a little further.
All the temperatures are pretty standard and already set.
In fact, the machines will even let you know when it needs to heat the water and stuff.

Maybe you just don't like how Starbucks roasts it coffee. If you really wanted, you could use the water from the espresso pump and use it as a pour over making way too much work.

The same water (temp) that touches the espresso is the same for the coffee.

Idk if I'd say terrible. Considering how many varieties and they're not bottom quality; to me, it's all coffee though.
It is freshly ground and brewed constantly, being made with super filtered water. It's not anything God-tier though that people make it out to be justify the price.
Now the coffee in frap roasts, that's a different story. That's just instant coffee made with filtered water. That's what is usually in the expensive drinks, too.

You've got the people who will buy anything and try anything, paying $6+ for a drink and then you've the people who are hooked on it but don't know what they're drinking cause they were once trying to fit in.
Then again, what can you expect from a group of people who can't make their own coffee?

It's insulting to pass a pet as a service animal. That's the one I see the most. People try to say it's a service dog, then you call them out and it becomes an emotional support dog, etc. It boils down to people being entitled and having to own a life.

My brother in law watched it. Said it's got great action at the end, some in the beginning and WAY TOO MUCH talking in between. Nothing happens that's interesting or makes any sense. It's like they were trying to wrap up the franchise while introducing new ideas at the same time; either trying to retcon the previous movies or just plain forgot what was said.


Almost sounds like a set up for an action packed sequel.
John Wick 2 was similar, but a decent movie overall. Then the 3rd brought back the action and stuff. 2 had nice background and stuff, but I wasn't there for that.
