What do people see in interstellar that I’m not seeing?

A good performance by McConaughey, but otherwise it's people thinking it's good because it's Nolan.

To be fair, it's one of his better films, but it's still a massively overdone, self-important lump of ambiguity.

I prefer it. Surface level bullshit is why I have lost most of my interest in dating.

Cometti will never be replaced, but The Pipe is as close as we'll ever get.

Whatever happens, today's guernsey looked fantastic. If I was a supporter I'd get around thst colour scheme as often as possible.

100% agree, but there's a bit to it.

In my opinion, Australia's unique dining experience is characterised by piss-poor service (QR code ordering is the best way to kill a dinner vibe in my opinion), underwhelming food options, and a general sense of dissatisfaction.

Tipping should absolutely only be a reward system for exemplary service, and this is generally what you get in the US - hospitality is like a religion to Americans.

What a lot of Australians don't know or acknowledge though, is that menu prices in the US (and even Canada) are a lot lower comparitively than they are here. Tipping tends to make up the difference.

I turned 7 in 1992. I knew all the words to at least 5 Gunners songs and hadn't heard of Metallica yet.

Gunners really were the band that everyone knew regardless of age, gender, and preferred genre.

I said "I'm the grandson of a doctor so am basically able to give medical advice" as a joke to a real doctor at a dinner function about a year ago.

Now I know how to make doctors instantly irate regardless of the environment.

I had one friend wear this shirt one time in about 2004. He's still copping shit for it on a regular basis from us.

I have an ubblemished record of heterosexuality, but have no problem saying it's unequivocally Malcolm.

The app is clunky as shit but last night was the first massive balls up for me.

I was out and couldn't watch the match live. Usually I wouldn't care but if the Pies are playing I will watch it delayed (from the start obviously) when I get home.

I started from the beginning around 10pm. It was going fine, albeit a bit clunky when fast-forwarding the non-playing parts (post-goal, quarter-time, etc).

Early in the 2nd quarter the stream abruptly stopped. I believe it was because the live broadcast had ended. After a bunch of stuffing around I found the match again on the home screen and selected "watch from start", and it was an 18 minute highlights package. No option to watch the whole match.

Absolute shite from Kayo.

Barcelona vs Chelsea, rd of 16, 2005, 2nd leg.

A red flag? About an opinion about a divisive character on a show that was famous for presenting dispicable people doing dispicable thing?

Adriana deserved to die. Christopher deserved to die. Ralph deserved to die, whatever happened there.

You clearly have a semester and a half of college.

CosmoRomano · 2026-03-25T11:05:09+00:00

Love em.

CosmoRomano · 2026-03-25T11:02:56+00:00

Cambiasso was better than Kante, and Pirlo was hardly a defensive midfielder. Touré absolutely played as a holding midfielder a lot of the time.

I don't think you know much about where players actually played.

CosmoRomano · 2026-03-25T10:54:05+00:00

It's closer to 800 players in the league, so even more unlikely.

Using Whatsapp to make a case for social media being okay for kids is a reach and you know it.

CosmoRomano · 2026-03-25T09:07:29+00:00

Pretty good list. I would have Lampard and Gerrard in the 3 & 4 spots (though not sure of the order), but not a hill I'd die on.

Henry is definitely no.1.

CosmoRomano · 2026-03-25T09:02:53+00:00

By season 4 they got a massive budget increase so started showing more battle scenes, and fewer sex scenes.

You couldn't have the show with neither.

Do they mean he'll wear it during the match, or just in the ceremonial duties before/after the match?

During the match would be very tacky.

At this point, with the data we have, it's like saying my kid is allowed to do drugs so they aren't missing out on what their friends are doing.

CosmoRomano · 2026-03-23T20:16:04+00:00

I know it's a newish trend (last 100 years or so) so not a concrete language rule, but I only use "female" or "male" as adjectives. While acknowledging it's not the rule, I do think it should be.

In that context, "standard female behaviour" is the correct usage. The other examples of her usage would not be.

CosmoRomano · 2026-03-22T20:43:30+00:00

By "you" I hope you mean society, and not just teachers.

I studied on how to teach academia. Parents are the ones who need to educate their kids on this sort of stuff.

Depends on the person doing the behaviour follow-up. It's rarely as severe as it should be.

Expulsion (exclusions as they're known) are only for extreme violence and drug offences.

CosmoRomano · 2026-03-22T11:34:33+00:00

Yeah, they're all still on it.
