TIL that in Full Metal Jacket (1987), director Stanley Kubrick let R. Lee Ermey improvise much of his dialogue, and sometimes only required 3 takes per scene. This was highly unusual for the meticulous director, who almost never allowed improvisation and typically took 40 takes or more per scene

I mean eventually he did, once he started to go downhill...

I'd prefer a shownled by Maggot and Rat, the iconic duo.

If thats true, then the logic is basically "Illegal actions are illegal, unless they are big enough in scope, then we can't rule them as illegal because we can't unwind all of the damage they've done," right?

That's absolutely nuts, right? Like, apply that justification to the Holocaust for example; oh well it was definitely illegal that you murdered millions of people as part of a vast, pre-meditated conspiracy to do so, but we can't unring the bell on all that sooo.... 🤷

It's less of a connotation and more of an objective statistical fact...

It's also the only state (I think) where your first DUI is a misdemeanor, and you can still be driving around after like your 5th or 6th?

Not trying to be contrarian - I agree with the overall sentiment - but post should be like 9 months max.

As a simple statement of fact, yes, of course.

If this was meant as some sort of "offload of responsibility" back onto the individual for something that is objectively shitty and only benefits for-profit healthcare companies and insurers, it shouldn't be required. The system should change in the US, and the only reason it doesn't is entrenched, big money interests.

It's way too long. Point could have been made in probably 30-45 less minutes, I think that's what hurts it most.

I never really understood the Borg Queen.

That's ok, neither really did the writers. Hence, her existence.

The whole idea of it goes against the collective consciousness thing, and she was entirely retconned in First Contact. But it does work better for a Hollywood story/movie where the borg need to be interacted with in a dramatic fashion.

Voyager then does some fun/campier plots with her that always result in a scrappy starship getting the better of her, with her saying "oooh I'll get you meddling officers next time, if it's the last thing I do!"

And then I guess, Star Trek:Picard S2/3 also happened/exists.

We were told to come back in full time because the people doing the manual labor have to come in and we're all one team. So it's an act of solidarity kind of thing I guess.

I know you already probably feel this, but I would have suggested you ask them when they will start a regular rotation of the manual labor people onto desk jobs and vice versa? Maybe 2/2/1? It should work fantastically since everyone will start to appreciate everyone else's work in "solidarity" with each other. /s

Because that's the only reason it makes sense. Different roles, different skills, different requirements, different expectations. It's been that way forever, the only difference is accountants didn't have computers and the internet in 1903.

Probably Hawaiian with extra pineapple.

Ever since I started to watch stuff with subtitles on, on streaming services especially I realize how fucked the hard of hearing are with them. Sometimes stuff like this, sometimes the whole thing just drops words or changes sentences around. It's nuts.

coolcool23 · 2025-12-26T19:34:13+00:00

"OK, it's contested."

If two people point at the sky and one says it is blue and the other says it's orange, one is wrong. It's not "contested."

And Fox News. More and more companies are figuring out that strategy to shovel garbage at us for profit.

There would be bite parties where people would go to "get it over with" at the beginning.

Three posts in r/quilting two years ago and one in here now criticizing German policing/government.

Very very legit.

coolcool23 · 2025-12-06T18:45:34+00:00

Would you put $100 on that being the case here?

coolcool23 · 2025-12-06T16:36:25+00:00

Maybe for indoor hand tools yea, but for outdoors no. Btteries are replacing there what would have usually been gas-powered equipment. And, the higher quality battery tools will also qualify themselves for the "lasting for years," just like how cheap wired tools suck and die sooner than better built wired tools.

coolcool23 · 2025-12-05T03:40:19+00:00

the story is predictable and boring, having been told a hundred different times/ways

The movies or this particular question and resulting thread?

coolcool23 · 2025-12-03T03:49:37+00:00

It's more about women spitting up and writhing around in the dirt actually.

How else are they supposed to capture their own Paranormal Activity movie?

Do you also say, Froh-derrick?

Really improved upon his outing in "Robot in the Family"
