To be fair, the GOP promised a lot of things. “Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.”

Lightyear (2022) had a trailer that is straight up false advertising. The trailer shows him contacting Star Command, something that never occurs in the movie. Still bitter about that.

Battle Los Angeles (2011) probably the biggest gap between the trailer’s quality and the film’s quality I’ve ever seen.

Giglie (2003), a movie on a lot of lists for being one of the worst of all time. The story behind it is that Ben Affleck and J-Lo got together during filming. The problem is, it wasn’t a romcom. J-Lo’s character was a lesbian. But because the of their real life romance, they rewrote the ending so the two get together.

The Dark Knight surveillance tech is real life now. We’re screwed.

How many hours of Mongolian throat singing are you down for?

You could just explore a place via street view, but how old are those images?

They have dates in the corner.

This is incredibly depressing, but also what if that’s bad for animals and bugs and stuff? Seems like it could cause serious problems all the way up the food chain.

That’s broadcast TV. The major networks (ABC/NBC/CBS) had censors. Cable gets away with a lot more, and if it’s streaming only there are basically no rules.

Pretty sure Hitler’s death was international news.

Depends on the storytelling style. If you turned Forrest Gump into a TV show you could probably get 20-30 hours worth.

Buy 3, get 3 free. On 12 packs of soda. So it’s a “12 pack” but really it’s a 72 pack if you want the price to make sense.

Name brand potato chips. Doritos over $5 a bag is insane. They were 2 for 5 just a few years ago.

Trix commercials. I get to steal food from that rabbit all day with zero consequences.

There’s a joke here somewhere but I need you to explain it.

The data above says it’s 0.55 degrees C over the last 20 years. Not that I’m trying to downplay it. A couple degrees is all it takes to cause massive disruptions.

I see workaholism as basically identical to emotional unavailability

Pretty sure workaholics don’t see it that way. And that seems like a fairly inevitable conflict point if you’re dating someone who works a lot. Your opinion seems clear, you don’t want to date a workaholic.

Myself, I would probably have some of the same problems you have. Not sure if I’d want to be with someone who is routinely unavailable. But there it’s a trade off, people need a job, I’m sure I’d tolerate it to a point. Not sure where that breaking point would be specifically. I’ve noticed people who are workaholics usually have a work hard phase then a play hard phase, where they spend a bunch of money and own a bunch of random toys. Even though they’re usually only available like 3 days a month to use them. I’m not as much of a ‘big splurge purchase’ kind of person. So not sure that personality type would do well with me.

Yes, it’s a sex trafficking law. Many of the most prominent examples, especially the older ones, were junk. They arrested the world heavyweight champion Jack Johnson because he had a white girlfriend. For ‘sex trafficking’ her.

Originally the ‘white slavery’ act (prostitution aka ‘white slavery’ was a common term around the late 18th-early 19th-century). Anyone accused of violating this bill was basically being accused of being a pimp.

Comedian Lenny Bruce was repeatedly arrested and prosecuted for “obscenity” for using swear words in his comedy act. All things that would be considered fairly tame and normal comedy today.

Pretty much anyone who was prosecuted using the Mann Act. Which was used to attack foreigners and undesirable minorities. Generally labeled them having girlfriends as “sex trafficking”.

Chaplin met Joan Barry, age 24, in 1941. He signed her to a $75-a-week contract for a film he was putting together, and she became his mistress. By mid-1942, Chaplin let her contract expire. To send her home, Chaplin paid her train fare to New York which led to his arrest.[23][25] Chaplin was acquitted of the charges.

Paid for your mistress to go home? Sex trafficking!

No, bb forums were like one singular sub/instance with lots of dedicated people and like 3 ‘off topic’ sections for the fans of that subject to talk about nothing.

There are significantly fewer bugs on monoculture lawns. Never been clear if that’s from all the poison, or if it’s from the lack of plant diversity.

Stardew Valley, GTA5, Cities Skylines. All games that you can basically buy once and be done. I can put them down, come back in 2-4 months, and pick up right where I left off.
