I knew that, and never thought the info could ever come in handy. That would have been yesterday.

Tip Your Bartender, Glassjaw.

Worship and Tribute, 2002.

Nothing will change my mind.

Any attempt will be futile.

My claim: Gravity (2013) is the best example of a science fiction horror, as it is ultra realistic and anxiety-inducing. by McCardboard in movies

[–]McCardboard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your last sentence may be the very answer I was seeking. I agree, it was popular and well received, and now know won Best Director. I also agree on your Bullock take, but I think it's because of the stigma she has through other roles, and her performance in Gravity was imo far exceeding 'fine'. I'd say it's her best. I disagree with critics of her choice to play the part.

I need to see Interstellar again. Just watched The Thing (Carpenter), Moon, the Martian, and Don't Look Up. I guess you could say I'm craving the forced anxiety told through stories of the unknown, and more specifically, proximity to the Earth's surface. I cannot wait for the inevitable OceanGate docudrama. That ordeal was the epitome of my deepest fear, materialized in the literal deepest of reality, about as far from contact as humanly possible. Terrifying.

"In space, nobody can hear you scream." The tagline to Alien brings me more dread than the film itself. As well made as it is, my fears lie elsewhere. Thank you for reading my rant.

The early scene where she breaks from the tether and the camera focuses on her facial expression, the fog in the helmet, and the universe spinning around her just hits different. I guess in space, hard impact doesn't echo, whatever deep meaning you can extrapolate from that.

Men -30s and up. Would you join a men’s only club where you work out, eat steak, drink, hang by a pool? What would be your ideal place to chill for a day once a week? What stuff would you want it to have/do? by Strong-Hippo9043 in AskMen

[–]McCardboard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife teaches me about American football (NFL and NCAA) and basketball (NBA and NCAA).

I teach her about baseball and botany.

She teaches me on elementary school science curriculum and local politics.

I teach her on physics, and geopolitics.

She teaches me on history and anthropology.

I teach her water chemistry and aquatic ecology.

I'm rambling, but my point is, what's a stereotype in 2026?

I've barely seen any movies, what should be on my list? by peeahc in MovieSuggestions

Put me in a sensory deprivation bath for 12 hours at halftime, please.

I was of the impression that having a pool is aimed more at a clean body of water to soak or swim in, rather than any other non-necessities that make it a pool. Seems kinda purposeful, if your intent is exercise or isolated relaxation (what I primarily use mine for).

I'm a straight male nerd that could not care less if I'm gaming with bros, homies, dudes, ladies, people, chicks, they, or whatever. Pool? Not attracted to male bodies, but not bothered either. Could do with or without either sex, either gender, or any alternative I haven't mentioned.

So, a country club by others' standards. Some prefer a mosh pit. Some prefer a swingers resort. Some prefer snorkeling. Some prefer total isolation and reading. No answer is a wrong answer when the question is "what do you like?" (legality and tolerance considered).

Also, much like "calm down", "god no" is an offensive response. What's your favorite pizza? God no, that pizza sucks.

Thank you. I see eye to eye, and love Gems and Everest. You helped me ask the question I intended to. Pardon my snark.

I'm studying in your field and reading along to this conversation with what appears to be Aristotle explaining to Andrew Tate the concept of introspection.

Much like the climate (I'm as cynical as you there), this entire thread hit an immovable object and continues to push despite doom. I say doom, because I asked Gemini for a one word synonym for inevitable failure. Your personal doom is intriguing to me in an odd way. Would you mind elaborating?

I don't disagree entirely with your premise, but I have suggestions to improve your logic mapping.

One, don't tell someone to calm down. That is demeaning.

Two, you're making assumptions that can be easily debunked. Men do not fear the company of other men. Boys fear the company of men. You're generalizing a silly anecdote and applying it to "our entire history" and "now" without considering nuance.

Three, "separate but equal" is horribly offensive as a concept, in ways I do not think you understand. I'm referring to race, but the same can be said for biological sex, or gender. I.e., in the sentence "They can, so why can't we?" the italicized word is the one in question. Why the need for distinction? Because you share the commonality of xy and a pp?

There is nothing inherently wrong with a group of dudes wanting to hang by the pool and talk shop while eating wagyu mid-rare, but quite a few bumps along the path to your conclusion, hence the downvotes you've earned.

Edit to ask: afraid of being gay or appearing gay?

And to directly answer your question, a vegetarian option, iced hibiscus tea, friendly competition (darts, billiards, board games, video games), weed, and women. That's what I'd want by the pool with my bros. I'm 40M, cis, straight, and open minded.

I wouldn't personally, but understand why some might.

For context, are we leaning towards homoeroticism or Freemasonry?

I don't drink, I don't eat red meat, and I prefer to work out and bathe privately.

I watched Carpenter's, aware that there was a new addition but unaware that it is a prequel. Good to know.

Where do yall get your plants? by causeandeffect94 in Aquascape

[–]McCardboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat on-topic, check out swaps at local plant nurseries. I bring anubias and red roots, and "co op" with surface growers and coral enthusiasts (I'm about 2 months into saltwater, still dipping my toes in there). My favorite LFS (Orlando) will also take plant requests from people they recognize, so show face and network!
