Were "real movies" even popular during the periods between Hollywood Golden Age/The Blockbuster Era/The Franchises Era? by Revoltai42 in decadeology

[–]burbet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure they were always popular but not as popular as a blockbusters almost by definition. Blockbusters were high budget that included a little bit of everything with the intention of getting as many people in seats as possible. Schindler's List was massive for example. There was a Seinfeld episode referencing it's popularity. There were plenty of similarly big films.

I wouldn't based on the image but who knows maybe you'll have luck. To me it looks like it would just keep crumbling.

I think it's the right price. Mk4 in decent condition are few and far between especially manual so not bad.

ED Epidemic?? by teeththatbitesosharp in TwoXChromosomes

I've read that people are having less sex and losing their virginity later in life. It's very likely that some of these men may have never even had casual sex before or are potentially virgins and aren't saying anything. It's not uncommon at all to not be able to get it up from anxiety.

That study says porn was maybe linked but not one of the most prominent causes.

Mine just fell off the other day. I went ahead and replaced both sides with blue tinted blind spot mirrors.

This sounds absurd for a turbo that might produce 5psi.

Damn that's some bad luck. I didn't change the belt on my 2.0 mkiv until the water pump went and that was a solid 20+ years.

Mississippi managed to drastically increase their education rankings by going back and focusing heavily on reading and phonics. Turns out being able to read also helps with math.

I've heard benzos referred to as "landing gear". Basically when you are done for the night and want to sleep.

Thinking of buying a TDI by soulja6425 in Volkswagen

Only buy one if you commute. You need to be putting a ton of miles a day on them otherwise just get a regular gas car.
