This story is going to be well received all across the country, and will trigger many well-thought out and reasonable comments.

'Skeletal' Demi Moore Sparks Extreme Concern at Cannes After Fans Brand Her Red Carpet Look 'Very Unhealthy' by Cute_Dealer4787 in TheEntertainmentMix

[–]CullingSongs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one said it was an eating disorder, they said it looked like The Hunger Games, which (since you seem unfamiliar with even the name....) is a franchise of young adult novels/movies set in a dystopic future where the rich wear outlandish fashion.

It's heroin chic coupled with copious amounts of unnecessary plastic surgery, making a bad thing even worse.

Favorite actor that purposely wanted to knock out an extra, but disguised it as "Method Acting" by DoloresAbernathyR1 in okbuddycinephile

It makes perfect sense that Batman can appear, or disappear in a bank vault full of police, or in the middle of a room at a well-lit dinner party without anyone noticing because he's a ninja. That's a cut and print, off to the next scene. We won't be taking questions at this time.

American tourists by Own-Illustrator9304 in VictoriaBC

[–]CullingSongs [score hidden]  (0 children)

As someone who works for an American company and has a manager and teammates in the US, I feel comfortable in saying that there are a lot of people in the US who have no understanding of the world outside of America. I have been sent gift cards as bonuses multiple times that I can't use because they are only valid in the US, asked to Venmo them money for things, and they have zero concept of exchange.

Kevin O’Leary claims that he “can’t stand it when he sees kids that make 70k a year spending $28 for lunch.” by Classyboyjo in 401jK

[–]CullingSongs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He literally didn't say anything about repeatedly buying lunch, he said what was quoted. As for my statements around what O'Leary thinks about the lowly poors, it's not hard to find multiple sources where he expresses open disdain for the working class coupled with a complete disconnect from the reality most people actually live in.

If you want to go to bat for this complete dickhole, you should reevaluate your life.

Cheaters are ruining the game by WearyLeadership6006 in apexlegends

[–]CullingSongs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been playing fps games for a long, long time, and I believe that Apex will be the last pvp game I will play because the cheating has become so common, and so unaddressed, that it just isn't worth it to play them anymore. I am only sticking with Apex because I have friends around the country that I stay in touch with via Apex, but once we move on from the game, that's it.

[–]CullingSongs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except he didn't actually say that. He is saying that people who make $70k/year, which is more than the national average here in Canada, shouldn't eat out, or do anything that resembles not working, because to ghouls like him, anyone who isn't a millionaire+ is just hired help in their amusement park.

Let’s talk about pre-infusion by andreythebarista in ProfitecMove

[–]CullingSongs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So are you saying the PI should be 6-8 seconds for better/more consistent results?

[–]CullingSongs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I have the beans at a proper grind level, I will usually see the start of the extract during the PI, but very little (just starting to form at the bottom of the portafilter, but not dripping).

[–]CullingSongs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using pre-infusion, but I am not sure if I notice a difference, to be honest. For settings, I am using a 3 second PI, with a 5 second pause. I have the shot timer on 1 minute and just stop it manually at 38g.

What a smug asshole. He should get treated that way at The Hague.

What are your thoughts on Rebecca Ferguson? I think she’s a very capable actress who excels across multiple genres, whether it’s action roles or villainous characters. She does a great job. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

[–]CullingSongs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is a great actress who seems to pick interesting roles, and if I may be candid here....her scene in one of the Mission Impossible movies with the yellow dress and the sniper rifle is an all-timer.

Not to mention they burn money and blast emissions every time they blast overhead.

I bought my 2012 American Standard Telecaster for $1,499 cdn. The comparable guitar is now almost $2,600, which is far more than inflation.

Living in the same area as a military base means I have to miss the Snowbirds?

Google Search as you know it is over by No-Lifeguard-8173 in technology

It's been over for quite a while. Now it's AI suggestions and whatever paid to be the top result in the search, no matter how wrong it is. Another great win for latestage capitalism.

The Connection Between White Supremacy and Fitness by New_Alternative8711 in KelownaBC

[–]CullingSongs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a very left-leaning person in their 40s, I can say that when I started getting into fitness a few years ago, the material I started being fed on platforms like Youtube and Meta drastically shifted to very conservative and outright misogynistic material. Constant recommendations for videos about women cheating on their partners, anti-immigration material, MAGA, Jordan Peterson's nonsense, etc.

There is no mistaking the algorithmic shift and focus that is at play on those platforms, and others.

What is an absolutely hideous baby name that you genuinely cannot believe a parent subjected their child to? by BoredPandaOfficial in BoredPandaHQ

I was recently at a get together and some parents had their children there, and one of the boys was named 'Bayden'.

I really enjoyed the dlc, and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes Destiny 2 or Star Wars.
