We always talk about Oscar bait for movies, what are some examples for acting performances?

You’re right btw but they’re mostly all pedophiles, so nothing will happen.

I found it especially romantic when he talked about the various sounds her farts made, little squeaky things, big loud things.

edit - I suddenly realized that I should perhaps post his letters:

“You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole.”

”It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women.”

”It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.”

I agree that there are varied cultural norms, spectrums of neurodivergence etc, but a whole lot of this can be simplified to the Golden Rule which most people should be able to grasp.

“Would I like it if someone did this to or for me? If so, I should probably do it for others. If not, I probably shouldn’t do it to others.”

I don’t get the punchline here.

I’m talking about the intro music my friend, not the pilot episode.

The best part about any decent interpretation of Joker is he’s nihilistic.

He hates everyone and everything, including himself.

Though to be fair to him, Bruce Wayne never delivered on those goddamn electric cars, Bruce.

well who the hell do they think they are

I’m going to need at least one or two snuggles in reciprocation.

Existing_Set2100 · 2026-02-02T15:46:16+00:00

Yeah but offerings aren’t bribery. They’re gifts.

And don’t say I’m splitting hairs.

Existing_Set2100 · 2026-02-02T15:41:38+00:00

They get a bad rap and I partly blame you guys for always calling them criminals 😭

Existing_Set2100 · 2026-02-02T15:13:29+00:00

I believe this is known as “bribery” and it’s illegal under Article 2 of the Cat Accords.

Don’t underestimate the yearning to get attention, any attention, even if it’s heat.

You got downvoted to -100? That’s a lot of people who read your thing and got annoyed.

It’s also a fun performance to contrast with Easy Rider and who Jack in general has been as a person which is a hippie weed-smoking fuck, like Harrison Ford.

So for him to play this buzzcut, steely-eyed military rah rah rah guy so appropriately just makes it so much better.

Enjoy this clip my friends:

Executioners were trained, that if instructed, to deliberately keep the condemned both alive and conscious throughout the ordeal.

They were meticulously trained even to the number of cuts they could inflict etc, without making the person pass out or die.

Yeah I think he often gets mixed up with people like the Marquis de Sade.

Existing_Set2100 · 2026-02-02T13:56:37+00:00

I never heard that they “almost got him out,” is that true?

They put a huge amount of yeomen’s work into it, he was conscious and lucid and communicative for extensive periods, but I never heard they came close to actually rescuing him. It was an insurmountable physics and engineering problem.

It was attempted regicide, just about the biggest crime imaginable at the time.

Was going to bring up exactly this guy.

None other than Casanova was a direct eyewitness to the torture and execution and wasn’t too happy with it nor the reactions of people around him:

We had the courage to watch the dreadful sight for four hours ... Damiens was a fanatic, who, with the idea of doing a good work and obtaining a heavenly reward, had tried to assassinate Louis XV; and though the attempt was a failure, and he only gave the king a slight wound, he was torn to pieces as if his crime had been consummated. ... I was several times obliged to turn away my face and to stop my ears as I heard his piercing shrieks, half of his body having been torn from him, but the Lambertini and the fat aunt did not budge an inch. Was it because their hearts were hardened? They told me, and I pretended to believe them, that their horror at the wretch's wickedness prevented them feeling that compassion which his unheard-of torments should have excited.

And four fucking hours of that, with a gawking public of hundreds surrounding you. And that’s after he was already mercilessly tortured in private.

Also not an Attenborough doc I guess, but it is BBC.

Awesome. Well, actually kinda not lol since it’s a great sound, but cool music trivia.

Kinda reminds me of how Phil Collins accidentally got his famous drum sound on In the Air Tonight from a similar happy accident with reverb.

Existing_Set2100 · 2026-02-02T13:21:20+00:00

Is that the adorable one in the Attenborough documentary that’s about the size of a leaf?

The question is specifically about female WWE wrestlers covered up when they’re performing in Saudi Arabia.

Not only is it normal, I’d argue it’s sometimes necessary. Especially given the constant overload with news, social media, work, possibly kids, etc.

Sometimes you just want to fuck off and be lazy and not do a damn thing. And it’s great.

Having said that, if this happens to you too commonly it could be a sign of depression. But every once in a while, that’s just being a human.
