I like to watch CinemaSins and Honest Trailers for all the movies I'm curious about but don't want to watch. It's like Cliff's Notes with commentary notes to use in conversation to "prove you watched it."
And you'd think something like that would get bipartisan support too. There's just no vision in Washington.

Your fetish is gonna be served by AI pretty soon, so there is that.

Also be on the look out for the step where you get to gently caress a sex doll with skynet in it, shortly before it kills everyone.

It might be a narrow window in time, so get ready. :shrug:

Legit one of the best albums, ever. Better than what Nirvana ever did.

I’ve been arguing this since 1994, and all I ever hear is how insane Love is and how she killed Kurt.
Dude….Courtney couldn’t have kept her mouth shut about anything for more than five seconds, you think she could mastermind a murder plot? The only thing she killed was multiple bottles of Xanax.

I saw Hole at the Fillmore on that tour and it legit was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to, and I’ve probably been to 500+.

Nightwish has a pretty wide array of songs, so would be interested in hearing what you sampled.

Amaranth which was alright, nothing that interesting. Nemo which I preferred. And because it seems appropriate I listened to Phantom of the Opera which I liked a lot. Of the vocalists she was my favorite and if I'm listening to more it will probably be her era although I'm not sure when it ends.

Mega Man 3 isn't that great a game. A lot of it is just nostalgia. Unfinished, repetitive (the four stages after you beat the Robot Masters, plus Wily's Fortress plus defeating Protoman, plus defeating Wily himself), and unoriginal Robot Master powers (Top Spin :laffo:). Both 2 and 4 are better games.

I prefer 3 but for a long time that was the unpopular opinion. It's definitely shifted but I don't know when.

I think Nightwish would sound better if they either used real instruments instead of the sampled ones they use, or leaned harder into the synth angle. Their violins sound too much like violins to sound synthy but way too synthy to fool anyone.

It's insanely hosed up that Google knows everything about me, is scraping my emails for keywords to tailor ads to me, tracks my phone, monitors my eye movements when I watch porn so they can do Ex Machina to me, and after all that, they're still showing me Youtube ads for Suzume even though I already bought the bluray. You know I bought it! Why are you still trying to sell it to me?! It's annoying to me to see the ad over and over again, but it's also a failure on Google's part to not immediately move on and try to get me to buy a different anime.

I might have argued with you a few years ago but these days production that goes into a "big" podcast is kind of wild to me.

Although one thing audio books do that podcasts don't is they keep the actual audio of the spoken word very very clean.

Great.

I don't get people that are way into barbecuing. Good barbecue or smoked meat is good, but many other things are just as good. I suspect that the enthusiasm of men surrounding a barbecue is at least a little bit forced.

Also eating outside isn't that great. A picnic where you bring just enough prepared food in a cooler is fine, you sit and eat and maybe fly a kite or take a walk, throw a ball around, and the weather is really, really good, and it's all simple, that rocks. Tossing a couple sandwiches in a backpack, going on a hike, and eating at a beautiful spot, then getting up and hiking back, that's wonderful. Haven't been "real" camping, but that sounds fun too.

Having to set up a bunch of uncomfortable chairs because the ground is disgusting, setting up a barbecue and getting smoke in your face, moving every couple minutes to stay in the shade because it's miserably hot, literally having to bring small house or tent with you because being actually, completely outside is that unpleasant, these are all signs that you should be inside. And then maybe you walk across dirt and rocks to wade in a man-made lake. This all sucks.

One more: most restaurants are propped up by being able to grossly underpay employees and shouldn't exist in the first place, but going to a restaurant and eating outside as you overlook a busy street or a hot parking lot is like willingly being the butt of a joke. If you can smell a parking lot or street while you eat, and every three minutes you hear the blast of a car horn as someone locks their car, you should probably eat somewhere else. (Or learn to cook.)

Well of course because there are more people, per capita numbers would be more relevant, and it should only include people in the "cultural elite" (people that have access to the internet) that consume such content. Even then, because anyone can broadcast now, it must be at an all time high.

No, obviously tik tok would not be included in the theater of the mind. Tik tok is video and theater of the mind means you imagine the visuals in your mind
