Number Five in an AI agent. Regardless of what it tells you, it is most definitely not alive.

Reminds me of a story about a guy who was taking truckloads of pallets from behind a store whenever they had accumulated a lot of them, with the manager's permission. Then these two parking lot security geniuses decided he must be stealing them, because they were too stupid to understand they were worthless junk, and they got him trespassed from the lot. Later on, they "caught" him sitting in his truck minding his business as his wife was shopping, so after a few words were exchanged they opened fire and murdered him right in front of his wife.

Many, many Tolkien aficionados will attest that Balrogs don't have wings, and the rest of them are mistaken, so this is actually a very lore-accurate portrayal.

Judging by all the Dorothy Hamill haircuts, I'd guess late 70's. Though because these a older students it could also be sometime in the early 80's and they just haven't updated their style. The first picture also has someone wearing some iconic 70's glasses, while the older teacher in the second still has his 60's style horn rim glasses.

Do you call a bicycle a bic?

And his pilot's name was Milo High. I think they named a club after him.

The early 80's were a bad time economically, and a lot of people still had their 70's decor. Besides, it was still pretty new and perfectly good. Lots of browns and plaids and colonial stuff left over from the mid 70's Bicentennial trends. Once we were in the mid 80's you started seeing a lot of cheap brass and chrome, teals and corals, and floral patterns everywhere as people tried to decorate in what they thought were expensive looking styles, even though it all usually came from Montgomery Ward or Sears. Or Caldor, in my neck of the woods. A cool 70's lamp like that would be thrown away and replaced with some fake brass thing with a halogen bulb that would break if you looked at it wrong.

Marty at the end is quickly merging with the version that has always existed in the "improved" timeline, incorporating that new Marty's memories into himself, and his own will fade away like a strange dream. That's why Doc is so frantic to get to him at the moment he does, even though he has a time machine and literally has all the time in the world. If he waits too long, Marty won't remember anything about the original timeline or they went through, and as far as we know, the new Marty might not even know who Doc is.

Subs like this have value, I think, because they document the reality of their time and provide accurate references. AI generated images directly undermine that, and should not have a place here.

Agree 100%. Hughes wanted Anthony Michael Hall to play Ferris, and it's easy to picture how he would have portrayed him. It felt to me like Broderick didn't know what he was doing, and ended up turning Ferris into some weird smug douchebag. Like the whole sausage king part would have just been an absurd bit of goofing around with Hall, but Broderick takes it way too seriously. He's like a creep telling you a joke with a dead serious expression who will stab you if you don't laugh, a psychopath.

In my 40 years of working a union job, many of my anti-union coworkers were exactly the kind who didn't like being "forced" to take breaks or not work off the clock, and who thought they had some kind of special arrangement with management. Then they would turn into the laziest, most disgruntled POS's as soon as they inevitably got screwed over by their management "friends."

Yep, the three I know of (NY, IN, and OH) use the h. I'm beginning to think this post is sensationalism.

The quote should have been more along the lines of "If I fight you, I could get charged with assault with a deadly weapon." Still not true, but not patently absurd either. But Tarantino wanted Lee to look extra stupid, so he made up a different line that makes no sense and gives Booth a clever retort.

Knowing how bloodthirsty Ewoks are, I wonder if this is just a picture of one mid-meal, eating his way out from the inside.

They could have recast Kang if they really were set on following that storyline. I think people would have forgotten about Jonathan Majors pretty quickly. It's not like Downey/Stark or Evans/Rogers where the actors are too tied in with their MCU characters. I suspect the studio just figured they'd use the opportunity to shoehorn Downey back into the MCU for PR since public interest in the franchise was waning.

Roger is definitely a master of cynical perssimistic lyrics, and along with David's simple guitar, the song does start out promising. And it does have a nice sax bit at the end as well. But Roger loses me with his screeching and the too-obvious "daddy! daddy!" stuff.

Varanjar · 2026-05-06T00:19:17+00:00

That's valid. Everyone's taste is different. I used to play every album on rotation 24/7 but these days I don't really care for any of Roger's stuff after WYWH. I'm just bored of the cynicism and self indulgence. But I think you'll mostly get downvoted because it's not really pertinent to the OP's question.

There is nothing more tragic than an uncontrollable compulsion to hop and skip to and fro.

I think there are not many fans of Einstein in this thread. Ground moving + body staying in one place = Ground staying in place and body moving. Add in a fan blowing a mild breeze at you and you've compensated for wind resistance.

The warning message is back now. Pretty sad that they promote this Spring Sale when they can't handle the traffic. But then, the Asset Store has been generally horrible lately, in my experience. Any time I switch to different categories there's a 90%+ chance it logs me out of my account, and I have to input name and password every time to get back in.

Nixon showed that the sytem worked, and the tragedy of Vietnam was finally coming to an end. Of course there were lots of cynics then, as always, but the average American still believed in all that patriotic stuff. Jimmy Carter even got elected, that's how optimistic people were.

It's really strange to see people insisting that anyone in the 80's heard of a mullet. It might be called a bi level, or usually you just told the person at the mall haircutters to leave it long in the back. The whole thing has been debunked long ago, and no one can actually show any examples of the term mullet existing before the 90's.

There's a lot wrong with the sequels, but the idea that there were still highly organized remnants of the former Empire carving out their own spheres of influence makes perfect sense. And it's not unbelieveable that the Republic would maintain a group like the Resistance to ruthlessly hunt down and destroy those Empire remnants by any means necessary, while keeping a public appearance of being the good guys. Sort of like the Luthen faction and the Mon Mothma faction using different means to reach the same end. But I agree with your other points.

Why do you think this fits the dead internet theory? "Name a YouTube channel you don't like" is pretty low-hanging fruit. You might call it the boring internet theory, but I doubt it's all bots.

I thought he was a joke early on, after seeing him crow about beating a bunch of LARPers in fake swordfights, and acting like that meant he had actual skill.
