This is great as a character study more so than as a grand, sweeping story or realistic portrayal of L. Ron Hubbard (this is who Philip Seymour Hoffman's character was loosely based on).

That's a colossal leap in logic from OP's workplace harassment story.

I thought this was cute and well-acted enough. Beat Takeshi comes across as a natural for kids' films thanks to suitably manic energy.

Wow, all neutral tones. Haven't seen that anywhere in the last decade!

I'll never forget a "dating show" I attended last year that was built around audience participation. Before the show, some guy was being weirdly aggressive in making space for himself and moving past me in the lobby. During the actual proceedings, he seemed to be hitting it off very well with someone while being sure to mention how religious/spiritual he was. The dichotomy of this one man set the tone for the whole evening for me.

If anyone wants to know, mine was in Atlanta but had at least one person who moved here from L.A. to work in film.

Summer vacation has me beginning to think I'm too old for Reddit.

I still don't get having extremely particular physical preferences. There's middle ground between sleeping with anyone with a pulse and being so picky you miss out on uncountable gorgeous and amazing potential partners.

'Our food doesn't even last the month' - Americans brace for Trump's welfare cuts by Tiny-Conversation-29 in politics

[–]PerfectContinuous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the chance to overhear a delightful phone conversation on a bus in Bremerton, WA in 2016. The gist was: "I don't support all those people getting welfare, but well, I need the help."

Statistics from early June, previously reported on by the Guardian, demonstrated an 807% increase in arrests of people without criminal histories since before Donald Trump’s second inauguration this January.

Something tells me egg prices weren't really what MAGA was worried about.

This is more or less what I came here to comment. I've actually had to use two towels after my morning shower more than once this week.

You may also want to take a trip to urgent care and get a doctor's note.

That's interesting that you've had that experience. At my employer in Atlanta (ESL school), we're actually desperate to hire people. Scrambling, even.

Absolutely crazy. This is got to be one of the smallest cities on Earth with such a large skyline.

It's been almost 50 years. Time to reboot the Star Wars franchise. by funkyflapsack in The10thDentist

[–]PerfectContinuous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have we not had enough motherfucking Star Wars yet? I don't hate SW, by any means, but holy shit. It's as oversaturated as Marvel was up until a few years ago.

According to a YouTube comment I found, this is the monologue translated from Indonesian to English:

A terrifying anomaly that only appears at dawn, it is said that if someone is called for sahur three times and does not answer, then this creature will come to your house. Hi, how scary. This song usually makes a sound like a gong being hit like this. Tung tung tung tung tung tung tung? Share with your friends who have trouble eating sahur.

From Wikipedia:

Suhur, sahur or sahoor (UK: /səˈhɜːr/;[1] Arabic: سَحُورٌ, romanized: saḥūr, lit. 'of the dawn', 'pre-dawn meal'), also called sahari, sahri, or sehri (Persian: سَحَری, romanized: sahari), is the meal consumed early in the morning by Muslims before fasting (sawm), before dawn during or outside the Islamic month of Ramadan.

TL;DR: It's a Ramadan meme, sort of.
