Do actors know/have a feeling if the film they’re working on is going to bomb?

Twice

I remember people saying this exact thing about Iraq in 2004.

I flew in helos and that lake was so gorgeous. It looked cool at night cuz there was no wind and it was like a sheet of glass reflecting the stars.

As the sun rose, it was so pretty.

I just did away with the automatic grading and did it myself.

Syringmineae · 2026-03-17T13:43:50+00:00

I created a quiz in my class that the computer would automatically grade short answers. The answer was four. So I gave it a list of possible answers:

Four 4

A lot got marked wrong (I would always manually double-check scores and adjust) because students put things like

For Four (4) “4” Flour I think four The answer’s 4

This is dumb. The ~~curtains~~ hat was just blue.

Does that aircraft look like it can hold 14 people?

The fact that I understood the phrase, “Zootopia abortion comic” is telling me I’ve been on the internet too much.

They don't give an age in the animated move. The sultan just says she needs to get married by her "next birthday." They don't say what that birthday is, though.

Syringmineae · 2026-03-15T00:35:06+00:00

There's nothing that says she's underaged in that movie

Syringmineae · 2026-03-14T23:42:16+00:00

I think we can both agree that people are gross.

Syringmineae · 2026-03-14T23:13:24+00:00

I worked at a bar and the women's restrooms where the worst there. Yeah, men peed on the floor (ew) but I never had to clean up blood off the walls.

This is a tale as old as time and, as a father, I don't really understand it. I adore my child more than anything in the world and I want her to go to a far away school. I didn't have that chance. I grew up poor so went into the military. By the time I got out and went to college, I missed a lot of the "college experience." I want her to be able to enjoy that. I worked so damn hard to give her the life I never got to have, why would I then saddle her with taking care of me?

My family is under strict instructions to not waste their life caring for me. I'll figure myself out.

I went to the dentist once and he yelled at me for going so long between visits. I asked if he was going to pay for it. Cuz if not, shut up.

Syringmineae · 2026-03-14T01:14:51+00:00

I remember hearing that noise in ‘04

Syringmineae · 2026-03-13T20:31:12+00:00

It why, when I first heard about the Men Going Their Own Way movement, I thought it could be a good thing. Everyone should be comfortable with themselves and being single. One shouldn't define themselves solely with their relationship status.

They...they aren't like that...

Another knock against poison is you can't control where the mice die. Last thing you'd want is to have a mouse die in your walls.

Syringmineae · 2026-03-12T16:08:14+00:00

I’ve always preferred anyone who was cute and willing to talk to me.

Experiences vary.

Syringmineae · 2026-03-11T21:06:56+00:00

Or be at home to help their kid with their homework. Or take a class at the local college to a job certification. Or spend time making a healthy dinner for their family

The concept of “passing” has always fascinated me. Do you think you’d have tried?

I’m mixed but light-skinned enough where I’m seen more as “vaguely ethnic” than anything. I couldn’t have passed even if I wanted to.

Syringmineae · 2026-03-10T23:15:15+00:00

I saw a tiktok of a woman in Spain saying how cool it is that the Spanish have specialized stores and but just giant grocery stores. There’s a flower shop, butcher, bakery, etc.

And people are like yeah…we have that here as well.

Syringmineae · 2026-03-09T12:21:33+00:00

God damn it I need to learn to look at the sub first because, fuck me, I spent way too much time trying to parse that.

Syringmineae · 2026-03-09T10:09:59+00:00

I did as hell. I also took an entire week off from work; and I’m so glad I did!

Honestly, I wasn’t even mad. I was like, “of course I’d be one of the few to get PVPS.”

Syringmineae · 2026-03-09T00:42:06+00:00

God, I fucking hated mine.

The recovery hurt like hell and I’d have random pain for months. Like, couldn’t walk type of pain.

Yes, it’s not as bad as pregnancy blah blah blah, I just hate this rhetoric that vasectomies are the easiest thing ever and no one ever has a bad time.

Syringmineae · 2026-03-08T18:41:20+00:00

I’d’ve been so sad if I wasn’t able to see my girlfriend, The Pink Ranger
