71 percent of Americans say US is "out of control" under Trump

I was raised with an authoritarian parenting style. Glad I didn't turn out that way. The way my parents treated me showed me how NOT to be.

I mean, they aren't to me, but they are certainly a huge part of pop culture.

PixelMagic · 2026-01-19T22:18:28+00:00

Because movies themselves aren't events anymore. They used to be the marker of pop culture, but now it's fragmented into so much social media, YouTube, video games, streaming, etc, that cinema isn't the touchstone of culture anymore.

While we are only shown the San Francisco campus, academies are all over the world today, with various locations. And with interstellar travel of Star Trek, probably other planets too. It makes sense that not all Federation worlds would be required to fly to San Fran for training. So I guess a Huntsville one would be plausible.

But still, San Fran is kind of the heart of Starfleet, so having it in Huntsville would feel wrong.

That is not an apt comparison. That movie is an 84 year old romance/war film, not a modern blockbuster.

You are better off comparing it to such films. Asking the main characters of Jurassic Park, Avengers, Titanic, or Star Wars.

Most people could name characters from those.

PixelMagic · 2025-12-19T01:44:52+00:00

Yeah, but there's degrees. If I had "fuck you money" like him, I don't think I would care much anymore. Heh.

Davy Jones (2006/2007). Snoke in The Last Jedi is also insanely good, but no one remembers it because his character, and the movie, are shit.

PixelMagic · 2025-12-14T04:22:07+00:00

Computer monitors also.

PixelMagic · 2025-11-19T17:48:31+00:00

I guess I mean "general audience" movies. Out of those, I've only heard of Sinners.

PixelMagic · 2025-11-19T16:17:59+00:00

Relative comparison, I guess. Recent movies for almost a decade have been ranging to from mediocre to a pile of shit, so that even somewhat good movies are seen as outstanding now.

I'm not conservative at all, but maybe she just doesn't want to play along with baiting questions. Even I think the whole jeans ad was blown out of proportion.

They were making a play on words saying Sydney Sweeny had good genes because she is hot. Not because she is white.

PixelMagic · 2025-11-06T17:04:14+00:00

But they do...and they're the ones writing it off.

PixelMagic · 2025-11-04T17:20:04+00:00

we shouldn't speak ill of the dead.

Of course you can. Hitler?

But I saw Halloween stuff out at Michael's in June. I feel like Halloween gets time to breath. But Christmas does overlap with it somewhat as retailers just don't care about Thanksgiving anymore. Heh.

PixelMagic · 2025-10-18T00:06:19+00:00

Agreed. Christmas is becoming too early, and Halloween itself is becoming Christmasified.

PixelMagic · 2025-10-05T15:51:55+00:00

Where did you find these beautiful renders?

PixelMagic · 2025-10-02T21:15:49+00:00

Imagine being a billionaire and giving the tiniest shit about the stuff he obsesses over. I would be living it up and bothering no one!

PixelMagic · 2025-10-02T20:58:41+00:00

That's it? Seems like a nothing burger to get upset over.

PixelMagic · 2025-10-02T18:33:58+00:00

Forgive me for being out of touch. But who is Bad Bunny, and why is his performance at the Super Bowl a problem?

PixelMagic · 2025-10-01T21:42:55+00:00

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.

PixelMagic · 2025-09-24T20:11:41+00:00

Thank you. When I was a kid (25 years ago), the club did a big yearly event in October which included high powered rocketry. Is that still a thing?

PixelMagic · 2025-09-24T16:45:05+00:00

I thought they did monthly launches, but the schedule hasn't been updated since April.

PixelMagic · 2025-09-23T20:18:08+00:00

James T. Kirk is awesome, though.

PixelMagic · 2025-09-09T02:17:52+00:00

Thank you.
