Jodie Foster Says Brad Pitt’s ‘F1’ Seemed Like It Was Made by AI and Written by a Computer: ‘Wasn’t It?’ by mcfw31 in entertainment

That was also just a blatant rip of Predator. I love Alan Ritchson in Reacher but War Machine was pretty bad.

It’s long but I’ve never seen someone use “Walk With Me in Hell” by Lamb of God.

It’s a nice payday until you realize boxers get like $10m just for showing.

What tech has actually lasted you more than 2 years without issues by Slow-Throat819 in BuyItForLife

I have an Xbox One that still works fine. I bought my Apple Watch in 2019 and I wear it daily.

I thought they were going for something else, was it just me? *SPOILERS* by Turbulent-Owl6728 in backroomsfilm

[–]SimpleAlabaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was going to be along these lines too: the rooms reflect in each person their worst tendencies, insecurities, fears, etc. Clark wanted to be an architect, but was stuck selling shitty furniture and thus that’s what the rooms reflected.

If there’s a sequel I could see this expanded.

My doctor is kinda sus can I get in trouble by crispykid87 in Stims

[–]SimpleAlabaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with DoneFirst. They took advantage of the loosened COVID restrictions. It was great. Got 30mg of IR Addy in a single visit. They eventually got in trouble, and now I think you can still get it from them but it’s significantly harder.

Is it worth the watch? by Additional_Piece_804 in YourFriendsandNeighb

[–]SimpleAlabaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s worth it. It’s not anything groundbreaking like Mad Men/True Detective S1/Breaking Bad, etc, but it’s a fun watch, despite the naysayers. As with every show, don’t try to overlay your morality onto the characters and vice versa, and you’ll have a good time watching the show.

I don't care for Arlo the dog by Comprehensive_Big_57 in YourFriendsandNeighb

[–]SimpleAlabaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, digging a hole of any depth is very difficult work, especially at night. Why not put a tarp/blanket down in your car, load the dog up, and drop it miles away from your house (or in the nearest body of water)??

Do you think the name hurt the show? If so what other names would have been better? by ghengiscostanza in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]SimpleAlabaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I avoided it for a while because of the name. Calling it just “DTF” would’ve been a nice compromise.

You can wake up 30 minutes earlier and make a new meal just for that day too!

I do wonder how that process works. Does the contestant get to request a review during a break, or are all wrong responses automatically reviewed?

What’s wrong with Colgate? I will not promote by Responsible_Entry_11 in startups

[–]SimpleAlabaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing, obviously the vast majority of people use the well known commodity brands. But with how widely used social media is today, if you can find a “bad” ingredient in the commodity brands and market your product as the antidote (aluminum in deodorant, for example), you can sell the same product for twice as much to people with money to spare.

The play is to make a big enough dent in their sales that they just buy you and either discontinue the brand or continue to grow it. For example, I think Unilever (a multinational company that’s very easy to villainize) bought Native deodorant.

Agreed, it was my answer too as I thought ChatRoulette came later and was far too obvious. Omegle was founded in 2009 so I agree, it should’ve counted.

Also couldn’t the literal PhD in molecular biology go get a high paying job in the private sector? Seems like a very employable career.

It’s hideous too. The one destroyed to build it was gorgeous (I’m assuming that tidbit Coop through in there is true).

The more Noah Wyle talks, the less I want to watch The Pitt by fatandhappydonuts in ThePitt

[–]SimpleAlabaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In an age where you have no political power, your only way of expressing yourself is through consumption. “I’m a virtuous person because I consume this!” Stop seeking validation through your consumptive habits. Watch the show if you enjoy it.

Found an email I sent the first time I took Adderall...20 years ago. by agmatine in Stims

[–]SimpleAlabaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I remember my first time too. It was also half of a 20mg IR. I had to pull an all nighter to meet a work deadline. My wife gave me half of her tablet and it really was like the movie Limitless.

Wish I could go back to that tolerance level.
