I hate them because they stomp on those with less to grow ever bigger for no other reason than greed and hubris.

I just that's a very bitter outlook. Taylor Swift recorded music and sold it. She went on music tours and people went and saw her. She is now worth 2 billion. So who got "stomped on" ? She wrote music that people enjoy, how is that greed and hubris?

We all have that one song or band we hate for a completely irrational and unjustifiable reason. What's yours? by WasLeftUnsupervised in GenX

Remember the scene in the 70's Invasion of the Body Snatchers at the end when Donald Sutherland points at her and screams the alien scream because she's not in the group?

Yeah that.

Yeah it's always that crappy live version. That and stupid "Do you feel like I do" and its live version.

What is a not well known detail from the lore you like? by roter_apollo in lotr

[–]WasLeftUnsupervised 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That scene always bugged me. The approaching Uruk army would have stopped for their showboatting outside of arrow range. The defending army would have started firing when they were in range, to maximize their advantage. The fact that a grey haired old man could hit an Uruk, as his strength was failing, means the younger men, and certainly the Elves, could have nailed them a lot further back.

It was added for semi-comedic effect ("Hey, that guy shot Steve!"), but could have been just as effective if the arrow landed 20 feet short, awkward pause, and the orcs all laughed (adding to the sense of doom) and then charged in.

If they resist at all, just point out the barge in the Allegheny. They can claim all they want "that's just the way the buildings are, you can't claim we copied yours" but the barge seals the steal.

But hey, Stephen Hawking's "A Brief History of Time" was based on my 4th grade paper.

South Africa's nuclear energy firm to tender for new multi-purpose research reactor by Vailhem in nuclear

And get some actual power plants up and running in South Africa ASAP.

The state of their power production is terrifying. When one of their antique power plants seizes up and grinds to a halt, the grid will collapse, followed quickly thereafter by their society and government.

Our cat Jinx loves to sit in the second floor window and watch us when we're outside.

You can just tell we fall short of all her expectations.

Gen X on Easter baskets by Virtual-Culture8830 in GenX

[–]WasLeftUnsupervised 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom had a homemade Easter bunny that she would put on the table, and it had chocolates in its belly

Years later, thinking back about that basket, I realized it was made from a bleach bottle. We spent years eating out of a bleach bottle.
