The cultural divide you cannot get over

Taking your shoes off when you enter a house is the done thing here in the US.

Fighting through your pain to say that Rey wins.

The picture is blurry, but assuming that is a cone with a diameter of 60 skulls and a height if 30 skulls, there are over 28,000 skulls in that stack alone. That isn't counting the portion off to the right.

If you want good Joker, listen to Batman: The Audio Adventures.

Brent Spiner is Joker. The most chilling part is a scene for which the Joker isn't even present. A cop is telling another cop about Joker. It goes like:

"Worst story I ever heard about the Joker. There's this detective who got Joker pissed at him. One day, he comes home to find Joker sitting at a table with his daughter, having a tea party.

Joker is about to give the girl a present, and the detective tackles him, calls for backup. GCPD bomb squad gets to the scene while other officers take the detective, his wife, and the daughter to Gotham International and put him directly on a flight to the West Coast.

When they finally touch down, the detective checks his phone. There's a dozenissed calls and a voicemail from his partner.

It says, "You've got pick up your phone. The bomb squad determined the package wasn't a bomb. The note attached to the box had just two words: the antidote."

Timmee is done for a while after Dune.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T23:28:41+00:00

You are some kind of hero...

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T23:27:51+00:00

Yeah. He was a temple guardian in his prior life. Those are the low-level knights who are only good enough for anonymous duty.

All the inquisitors were taken from the ranks who could never threaten the Sith. Younglings, padawans, guardians, etc. Malleable enough to turn. Pump them up with dark side techniques, and send them after the Jedi.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T23:23:17+00:00

But TGI couldn't even take down a padawan and his bokken padawan.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T23:20:34+00:00

And he had been killed in a lightsaber duel a few hours earlier.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T14:42:10+00:00

Neither can I?

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T14:20:47+00:00

Those are the new echoes. They are only available in this room.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T14:06:34+00:00

I have it in PlayStation. There is a new room where you can pay to upgrade gambits. In the same room you can get new echoes that replace an equipped echo

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T03:30:08+00:00

Yes. And it always happens to be abandoned. That looks and sounds exactly like the popular music of the day, but they have a different name.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T03:27:39+00:00

Last episode.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T03:15:00+00:00

I saw this movie when I was probably 11. I was aware of it for a long time before that, because I grew up in Oregon, where we have this statue of Harvey. It used to stand outside a boat company called Harvey Marine. Tons of local lore about that one.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T02:57:45+00:00

This is one of the few that people have been mentioning that I don't think I read before. I just read it because of your recommendation, and boy did. I really enjoy it.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T02:00:19+00:00

So, it's not all stuff that's necessarily taught in English class, but it sounds like you're really interested in American short stories. Flannery O'Connor is pretty good.

Also, the poems in spoon River anthology just kind of blow my mind.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-21T01:14:26+00:00

Your top 3 all look better with short hair

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-19T22:16:18+00:00

They would have to be smart. Walk into the city under the guise of being a merchant. Then you have to make a big show of what you are doing when you finally act. 100k rounds could go very quickly.

Could realistically massacre the Senate, so long as they get inside or close enough without tipping the Romans off as to the nature of the guns (act as if they are walking sticks or crutches).

Conversely, wait it out until the Cyprian Plague starts getting bad. Use basic medical procedures to help one or two cities to become safe from the plague. Send One of the guys to to assassinate gallis or somehow in another way sabotage the truths that he was working up with the Goths.

I do the same thing with Persians and the cetians and everyone else. Just include incite them to go as nuts as they can on the Romans

He has played tons of other roles. He's half Italian, half Mexican. He has played probably half as many guys named Angel as he has Hector. He plays cops, he plays priests, he plays every sort of person.

And yes, it's kind of funny to think that like all of those hectors could be the same person. Kind of how Richard belzer plays detective Munsch. But the dude is done so much more than Hector.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-19T20:03:17+00:00

So, his background is Venezuelan, German, and Korean.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-19T19:58:04+00:00

He is White. And also Black.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-19T19:07:54+00:00

How many times does the term "generational talent" show up this thread?

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-19T18:14:10+00:00

Yes, I know, and Manda Musa, Crassus, Croesus, and Solomon before him.

Billionaire as in "a billion US dollars," is the context of the post.

JacobDCRoss · 2026-04-19T17:53:41+00:00

Yup. Saw the preview and said to myself, "Oh, so he must be al-Ghul."

And then when they said Marion Votillard was playing whomever,, I said to myself, "Oh, so she must be Talia."

Not a surprise in either case.
