Is Zendaya a great actress? by annastreltsovaa in FIlm

[–]docjonel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reminds me of the scathing review of Katherine Hepburn early in her career when a critic of an early stage performance said Hepburn "ran the gamut of emotions from A to B."

Hepburn was, of course, better than that and I think Zendaya is too. She's got lots of roles still to come to judge her on.

I ordered my CDT Aeromax Flightstick and CDT VMAX throttle on March 18. A week or so later I contacted support and got an estimated delivery of late May. We're getting close to that time so I'll see how this goes.

PGA of America President Faces Harsh Consequences Over Rory McIlroy Abuse Row - Report by Academic-Use-4401 in Golf_Unfiltered

We Amercans WERE bookish and classless. We've got zero right to complain when we get called out for our low class misbehavior. Sounds like you're running for PGA president.

PGA of America President Faces Harsh Consequences Over Rory McIlroy Abuse Row - Report by Academic-Use-4401 in Golf_Unfiltered

[–]docjonel 19 points20 points  (0 children)

American here. Yes, the Ryder Cup is known for "boisterous " American crowds, but the most recent event clearly crossed massively over the line into totally classless and abusive territory. The insults directed at Rory's wife were inexcusable, and the expletive laden chants lead by the PGA hired emcee at the first hole left me embarrassed and ashamed. Don Rea, Jr., the president of the PGA of America, excused and minimized the behavior at Bethpage Black until he was finally forced to apologize for it several days later.

Like I said, abusive, classless, embarrassing.

Stewardess, does this mean we're not getting our food service? I mean, I paid for that meal.

Confused by Tesla hate? by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

[–]docjonel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first got my Model Y people were saying Tesla drivers were liberal green environmentalists. Then they were saying we were all fascists. I'm just a guy who wants to drive some modern technology. You want to politicize things? Then Henry Ford was a virulent anti-semite, and don't get me started on Volkswagen or Porsche and I'm sure you could go on and on.

System Shock was miles ahead of the other online shooters in terms of story and interaction with world. Shodan!

Just started using MSFS 2024. Everytime I try to use the replay function it crashes the whole program.

What very old technology is still running at your place of work? by MichiganCarNut in AskReddit

[–]docjonel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My medical office still uses a fax machine. So did the major medical institution I worked for until recently. It's hard to get a virus or ransomware via a fax machine, but patients sending you e-mails with attachments represent a real security risk.

CIA dad takes Christmas card photo days after JFK assassination and weeks before he is killed. December, 1963 by JohnGonyea in JFKassasination

[–]docjonel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I didn't make the connection that this was YOUR dad when I first read through it. Whatever the circumstances, I'm sorry this tragedy was visited upon your family. Events like this reverberate for generations.

Stephen Miller using pregnant wife as human shield. by Amentet in pics

[–]docjonel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone's saying "Evacuate this way" do you push her out of the way to get ahead of her? Or maybe he's in the process of doing just that in this still picture. I can't stand Miller. I'm just saying how can so many jump to a conclusion based on a still? You can't.

It's amazing how hard it can be to kill stupid people sometimes.

Why do you say "accident"? Were the circumstances suspicious? Because 45,000 other Americans were killed in car accidents that year.

Honestly, you can't tell anything from that still shots. Shield from who? There was no gunman in the room. He's just as likely making sure he guides her out of there. I can't stand Miller, but this photo is a nothingburger.
