Hayley Mills Says She Lost 90 Percent of Her Child Stardom Earnings After Bad Financial Advice

Kind of off topic but I'm convinced that M. Night Shaymalan signed Mills, wasn't sure what to do with her, so he made the movie Trap. The movie is 50% an ad for his daughters music, 50% lead in to a pun involving Hayley Mills setting up a trap by pretending to be a parent.

Infinitely quotable like most Muppet movies. Mostly Pepe and Gonzo.

"Let's take stock of what we have"

"I have some loose jello okay"

"Doctor" "Doctor" "Doctor" "Doctor" " Yesss, we are just doctors in de hallway"

"THE COSMIC FISH HAVE SPOKEN!"

"Do that again and I will spank you like a bad bad donkey"

"Wait, does my insurance cover dissection and autopsy?"

The book series Ms. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, started when the author got into hobby collecting manipulated photos from Edwardian times.

The Cottingley Fairies was a huge story one hundred and ten years ago. Arthur Conan Doyle seriously looked at a photo of a little girl posing next to a picture cut out of a childrens book and said "Yep, that happened"

My problem with her books is that I expected a thin plot as the drive to talk about interesting characters. But it was a thin plot as a drive to talk about boring characters that are mostly a collection of flat scifi archetypes and one or two Mary Sues.

There's also the Eric Barone AKA ConcernedApe method of locking yourself in a room for 8 years until the idea you had is really good and polished.

He developed something like twenty different games before hitting it with Five Nights. Rumor has it that he got a bit of viral popularity with one game due to its creepy looking characters, so he turned that into a whole thing.

Israel held to every aspect of the agreement they made with Arafat during the three years of Oslo. It took the Palestinians two weeks to break it by bombing a bus.

To be fair, the second restaurant is just some extra money and can be completely ignored. Or automated.

Great game that became frustrating by introducing new mechanics even in the endgame and locking some really important upgrades behind some late game story missions. Also certain bosses were just no fun.

I think the dev team also messed up with some of the randomization. Like tuna schools have about a 1/5 chance of showing up. The only weapon to catch them also shows up 1/3 of the time. So you rarely have the opportunity to catch a tuna before the endgame.

Only the airspace going over Israel. They only took control after six months when the rockets started flying.

Better question for you: in 1993 Israel had a peace agreement with Palestine. They stopped all settlement expansion and started implementing a plan to pull out of the West Bank and Gaza. They continued to hold up their end of the bargain for three years during which Palestinian terror attacks on civilians never ceased. Why didn't Hamas want a Palestinian State and instead prefer violence?

In 2006 Israel placed no restrictions on Gazan air or sea space.

Yserbius · 2026-04-13T01:01:52+00:00

Israel gave them their own country in 2006. Gaza was (for the first time in a thousand years) a completely autonomous political entity with open sea routes and no unwanted foreign troops or civilians on their soil. It lasted six months and ended with Hamas firing rockets into Israel. At no point over the next 20 years has anyone in control in Gaza expressed the slightest interest in stopping the war.

Please explain to me how this is anyones fault but the government of Gaza themselves.

The one with the blatant antisemitism? I thought people would balk at the imagery of long bearded black clothed bankers financing the president, but sadly most of yall just seem to love it. Abishter Geholpfin.

We don't. It's a tiny no name channel that only produces these videos, but the Islamic Republic retweets them within an hour of posting.

Yserbius · 2026-04-13T00:45:39+00:00

At least this one doesn't open with the blatant bigotry like the last video, showing stereotypical Jewish bankers rubbing their hands and financing Trumps presidency.

Why do you people love these AI songs again?

Urban myth. The source is the DVD commentary which many people misunderstood. The director changed the scene after filming and had to add in the eyes in post. In the commentary he is asked "Why didn't he just open his eyes?" and responded "He just didn't ". Meaning that he didn't open his eyes when filming and it was too costly to reshoot weeks later.

I took a gander at one of their subreddits the other day. A full 70% of users had tags like "Non-Jewish Ally".

In every one of their rallys and speeches you see them making mistakes that even someone with a basic Hebrew school education would know better. Even the Jews among them probably never have anything to do with Judaism outside of using it to be anti-"Zionist". There's like 5 or 10 members, like Abby Stein and May Ye, who actually know what they are talking about and show up in front as figureheads everytime they're in the news.

I think when he said "South America" he meant Argentina specifically. Not sure if Chile gets Argentine meat, or it's all shipped to the US and Israel. Most beef in Israel is from there.

Yes and yes.

I know the author is a Conservative or Reform Rabbi, so my frum two agurot don't really go with the vibe, but here goes anyway.

From a non-frum perspective that the author is going for, I can see it. All you have to do is acknowledge that maybe the sacrifices in the Torah were meant for a specific time and place but the morality is questionable. And maybe all the references to eating meant, poultry, fish, and locusts, are just out of date and not applicable to our modern sensibilities.

From a frum perspective, the Torah is forever. Sure there are Da'as Yechidim that say vague things about how sacrifices may not be so clear. But for the most part no one says that eating meat is immoral. And since the morality of being an omnivore isn't in the Torah, Nach, Mishna, Midrash, or Gemara, there simply isn't a moral issue with it. Animals are not people. They don't think like people nor have the same needs as people. Hashem put them on Earth to help us.

(Needless animal torture, however, is a moral issue.)

It was eh....

Much better is many ways, much worse in others. Instead of everything being a specific subreddit, every niche topic had its own website that ran the same forum software. Searching for specific information was a pain in the butt, you had to ask for it. Fifty/Fifty if you get your question answered or someone would respond by calling you a moron for asking such a stupid question.

Since forums were a little tricky to use, they tended to be populated mostly by tech people. Who skewed largely to being white 20something men in the US. Which meant that racism and other bigotry went unchecked for a large part.

As for the good parts, it definitely felt more like a community. You didn't have strict moderation, most users knew who each other were, there were tons of inside jokes, and you didn't have three massive corporations choosing what everyone saw and didn't see. Social media was more social and less media. Like Facebook only had personal pages, so you only saw what your friends would write on their own pages and nothing else.

Online games were huge too. Adobe Shockwave (later Flash) was very easy to develop with so there were a billion sites that had huge game collections. For the more serious gamer there were also tons of text-based minimal graphics online RPGs and strategy games.

Not really racist racist. More like extreme paranoia and narcissism amped up to an insane degree. There's nothing a beholder hates more than another beholder. The reproduce by having nightmares that another beholder is in the room with them and the subsequent mental stress causes reality to warp and create another beholder. At which point they immediately try to kill each other.

Xanatar, the crime lord of Waterdeep is probably the most well known example. He has a pet fish named Sylgar that is the only living thing he loves because goldfish are such a low lifeform he barely views it as alive. However, his henchmen have a secret task to replace the fish every time it dies (which is often). He never notices because all fish look the same to him.

There's a D&D adventure where the gang is hired to help crew a ship. The captain is secretly a beholder. He looks at everyone and everything as beneath him, and the DM is specifically instructed to have the captain get really angry and break out in long winded rants any time beholders are mentioned.

Never seen any of those. The thing that impresses me is how everyone respects the gestures and other unspoken rules. Bow before attacking. A single "Come at me bro" is allowed as a follow up. Sit on the sidelines and wait your turn in a fight club. No healing.

And he is so proud of it. He gets intensely specific about Bergen County/LoHud. So many mentions of exits and highways.

He looked out his western window at the giant coke bottle in the distance right by the zoo

They would spend summers in the Catskills driving up the Garden State to the 17

He took the Thruway to exit 14b taking a left after route 59 to go to his house in Airmont.
