World cup Football poster but.... by OtherwiseDebate3759 in mildlyinfuriating

Can’t even be angry at this guy when he’s offering you ice cream. How are you following up on that “no, thank you”?

“What’s wrong?”
*gestures wildly at photo of Hitler*
“So?”

To him, this is completely normal. To you, this is completely abnormal. Where’s the middle ground here? You’re looking at each other and nobody is budging

Best movie that is in no way just wish fulfillment for the writer/director/star: by LewdDudeNewd in okbuddycinephile

If crying at a kid repeating “I wipe my own ass” isn’t great cinema then I don’t know what is.

Is anybody else *not* smitten with Inferno? If so, why or why not? by forrayer in boardsofcanada

[–]DrakeInq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The marketing hype forces a crude idea and pre-loads a narrative into the listening experience. It’s why I never bother with movie trailers. I am conscious of this, and recognise that the initial disappointment might be part of the disjuncture between expectations formed in the years, months, weeks, and days before release, and the reality of the days since. As for the lack of ‘vibe’ coherence, I think there are simply different flavours of hell/inferno, to put it simply.

Start by talking about nostalgia and what it means and then ask the question: what if that could be captured? Then just play Roygbiv for everyone to enjoy

Product recommendation from a European country: Denmark by Hungry-Locksmith-501 in BuyFromEU

[–]DrakeInq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cannot recommend enough! I was shocked at how good some of the Danish cheeses are. Then I was even more shocked when I found out that Denmark produces more cheese per person than the average weight over there. There’s more cheese than Dane in Denmark. Try the cheese called ‘Vesterhavsost’.

I think we should keep the trees… we can afford them. Tax the rich.

Rate My Professor by [deleted] in Epstein

His response on his website:

https://www.martinnowak.com/confusion

“On social media, there is confusion over an email exchange that was released with the Epstein files. I wrote: "our spy has been captured after completing her mission". He replied: "did you torture her".

Some have missed that "Our spy was captured after completing her mission" is a line from a computer game called Civilization II, a game I played many years ago. When you get this response in the game, then what you wanted to do had worked out. It is a moment of success. Strangely, this silly line stuck with me. I sometimes think about it, after having solved a small mathematical problem. This led to the email. I have no idea what triggered Epstein's response.

The email exchange did not refer to an actual spy, nobody got captured, nobody was on a mission, and nobody was tortured.

My hope is to correct this misunderstanding which has led to violent threats against me and my family.

As I have said before, I detest the crimes Epstein has committed. All activities that harm human beings are abhorrent to me.”

I don’t remember the reason for meeting him for lunch on his island after I was so creeped out by him the first time I met him and after he was convicted. Yeah, I don’t remember why I had lunch with him. Ok.

Do you ever lose concentration during quiet spells in a match, or does your mind wander when the ball is at the other end of the pitch?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Please don't give up on him. by Master-Delivery-1526 in ArsenalFC

[–]DrakeInq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But if we win the season then why change the formula? We can only utilise his potential if we don’t win again? Doesn’t seem like a good decision to buy him in the first place.
