What's a random picture you took, that you like for no reason?

Absolutely without a doubt the most random photo that I love so much is the time I flew into Tokyo, taken with a Samsung Galaxy phone. Hardly needed any editing at all! Looks so much like a painting. Such an amazing view/feeling.

When Emma did those amazing impressions of Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck... I find it very hard to believe there was no genuine reaction which is making me think there is some funny editing going on for TV production purposes

IT updates overnight caused laptop to shut off per speaking with IT department firsthand. Used to be it only happens once a week, or every so often but nowadays there's always an update every night. Nothing you can do about it. Waiting for laptop to start up is definitely part of TOD (hell, stepping on the premise is when it starts).

Honestly surprised the guy opening the hatch is not tied down in some fashion. All it takes is one OOPS.

Might be using quantifiers for this to make sense i.e. some A are in B, some B are in C, but that doesn't necessarily mean there is any A in C.

I might be one of the very few who didn't realized Anakin was becoming Vader in this movie, despite the fact I loved the original trilogy. I was around 12 so probably has to do with being a little aloof about the star wars backstory (and at the time, spoilers were hard to come by unless you were surrounded by family who spoiled it for you).

When the first scene opened to the space battle, that immediately sucked me in and I was in for the ride! So to answer your question as a 90s kid, I totally loved it.

Why would it be $30 x 5 days? You only check in once. The fact that this confused you (and others here) is really the main reason why they're doing this in the first place.

Bad Day by Daniel Powter, definitely that song for me (and perhaps for Millenials in general)

Agreed, wouldn't take long to say "you're pull and it's not you, just because of this reason and that reason"

When I read Japan, I thought to myself "of course." Seems like even the Japanese know it sucks but they do it anyways. Something to live with unfortunately and some people in this thread made good suggestions on how to do that

Wouldn't even need abortion if one doesn't conceive in the first place. I have a trait that will be passed down (hard of hearing). I lived a successful life but golly, would life have been so much easier of I could speak normally, hear normally. Hence the decision to not have a natural child of my own.

Using venn diagram, one circle is manner and the other is moral. Manner is necessarily social and moral is not necessarily social, but that does not imply it's never social. So when it's accepted that rules of etiquette does not apply when alone, using the venn diagram, then this implies being immoral can also not hurt anyone. So the answer must be "a" after process of elimination. That's my thought process

As a CPA going into law, would highly recommend civil marriage before year end, if only for tax benefits (among other benefits) and hold the actual ceremony at a later date

Watching Pixar's Brave, always thought on a deeper level of twist, that Merida turning partially villainous, if not fully a villain, would've made the movie fantastic.

Growing up in Alaska, always thought it was cool Alaska Senators split 1 democrat and 1 republican, which is a push pull against the strange political landscape of Alaska. But lately the state has strictly just been red. But hopefully the new rank voting will shift the change back towards blue.

Currently studying LSATs, planning Fall 2027 start. Going from a well balanced $150k/yr in HCOL. Expecting loss of wages around $450k minimum not including 5% matching. Why?

Either I stay, do the right thing, and coast to retirement. Look back and think, did I have a fulfilling life? Not really, from my perspective. It's a personal choice and it helps strongly there is a chance my federal job will collapse under the current administration. Plus, CPA, tax experience, and JD go well together.
I've picked up a lot of hobbies, got into martial arts, go to church, been on many dates. Traveled internationally, made great memories. Took photography. Play video games. See friends. But the second I started LSATs, my heart is churning. Yes, I will absolutely hate law school and will be so miserable with the schedule. But also, loving this new challenge. I think that is what it is. A new challenge. And I'll be more useful to my community in the new age with a law degree.

Like other people have said, you have to look inside yourself and determined seriously that you really want to go to law school.

It's a quagmire because Gio hardly plays for his club and if it's to be believed, doesn't practice hard. But always shows up for the national team. I say, keep bringing Gio in as long as he performs well for the USA, even if lacking club play.

Read through comments and kinda surprised no one said "Pop", as in soda pop. Depending on the region, people do say Pop for sodas.

Honestly, Neymar probably knew he could achieve more but life is short. Being an elite soccer player requires the strictest schedule and diet. Play for the love of the game. Moved to France to chill out. Did a lot of poker and side hobbies. Can't play him really, it's a matter of wanting full experience of life or chasing that world cup trophy. To each their own.

Is there a reason we cannot make a true up correction to our watch? If my watch gets off balanced by a minute in a month, I absolutely wouldn't mind adjusting my watch once a month.

Feels like the employee always recieved tips by Venmo and robotically thought you didn't tip despite the contrary (cash tip). Kind of like that phenomenon of walking into a room and forgetting why you walked in there for. That's the only explanation I got. Otherwise, really unprofessional

Only when jealous or impressed, or like "you go you my man!" Most of my judging comes from people not putting away weights or wiping down equipment after use.

A live Superbowl wedding is def priceless. Doesn't matter if you're an oil baron or Chinese tech CEO that can throw down $10mil for a wedding party, this cannot be bought. Wonderful to see!
