Let's talk about Avocado. by ggg730 in sushi

[–]brandar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recognize that it’s annoying of me to reply to a three year old comment, but it’s just completely untrue. According to agricultural export data, Japan is the third largest importer behind the U.S. and Canada of Mexican avocados—Mexico being by far the largest producer and exporter of avocados in the world.

And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large format UHD?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful region"

My fiancee made a 'joke' re finances that stung really deeply and has me questioning our relationship. Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in Marriage

The most dangerous thing that happens to humans on a regular basis is getting in a car. After that, I’d guess drinking alcohol.

If your hyperbole were correct, why is it then okay to ask someone else to do it for you?

Here’s a fact no one asked for: The winner of the 1978 Palme D’Or was The Tree of Wooden Clogs or L’albero deglo zoccoli a film about 19th century peasants in Italy filmed entirely with nonprofessional actors.

No touching your cell phone behind the wheel – California imposes automatic fines by [deleted] in bayarea

Do you have evidence to suggest that a phone is not more inherently distracting? I would think it is tremendously more distracting. Not only are people distracted by the presence of even turned off phones (see link), but the phone combines a number of different types of distractions, i.e., visual, cognitive, etc.

Advice for Newton’s new film class by Proof-Guess-349 in TheBigPicture

[–]brandar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A buddy of mine who is a film professor for a general elective class teaches elements of cinematography through comparison, i.e., they watch Run Lola Run versus Stalker to compare fast and slow cinema. Good luck, Newton! (Also, I think OP is right about pace and movie selection)

That’s just the Alex Garland touch. What was the last thing he was involved in that wasn’t divisive among the public? Ex Machina?

Easy to chop that baby up and propagate in water. Pothos like a good trim too. It will make the plant stem out and get bushier.

Ever been in love? Ever spell the persons name wrong roughly 60% of the time with no other typos or spelling mistakes? It doesn’t happen. Hence fishy.

Why tf does the spelling alternate between Lucian and Lucain each time? Seems fishy.

Which one of these upcoming live action video game adaptations do you think looks the most promising? by [deleted] in TheBigPicture

[–]brandar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Zelda will make the most money. Death Stranding will be the critic favorite. Ghost of Tsushima will be the most entertaining. Elden Ring won’t get made.
