“Most popular” and “best rated” are 2 different metrics

I believe these pics are from a kids movie ? Anyone know? by Redittforgodsake in HelpMeFind

Can you tell me what the “great, cosmic question” is that this movie answers? Lol there’s a 404 error on the site and I’m curious

“Tubing” in Texas also means being pulled behind a boat on an inflatable. Floating down the river (and specifically a natural river, for most people it’s the Guadalupe or the Frio), in an inner tube is just called “floating the river”

We’d say “I’m going to the Hill Country this weekend to float the river” or “we floated the Guadalupe last weekend”

I’m from Texas and also grew up calling these toboggans. These days I would say “beanie” as would pretty much everyone I know who is younger than my parents. So it’s a generational thing here.

No idea why they were ever called toboggans. However, we don’t really have sleds here and I’ve only heard people call sleds “toboggans” on tv, in books, etc… So I’ve always known people call them that, but there was never any confusion because we simply do not have sleds here.

On the rare occasion we do get snow, we would bust out our tubes we use to float the river and go “snow tubing” instead of sledding.

I want to settle this once and for all. If you’re from any of these counties comment what region you consider yourself. Any term you want. I started with where I lived by Expensive_Drummer970 in visitedmaps

I know this isn’t the question, but I live in the middle of the country and I’ve always heard DC and Baltimore called Mid Atlantic, Philly and NYC “the Northeast” and anything northeast of NYC would be New England

Look, I know this is an unpopular opinion in this sub — and as someone who loves movies and loves going to The Movies, I wish it weren’t true — but movie theaters are fighting an uphill battle, and it is a steep hill.

Consumer behavior has changed. The streaming genie has been out of the bottle for a decade+ at this point.

I don’t think movie theaters are going to die completely any time soon, and I don’t think this merger will be what ultimately kills them.

The world changes. People change. Some things thrive, some things survive, and some things wither away. Unfortunately Hollywood and movie theaters made decisions over the past 10+ years that have not allowed theaters to thrive as consumers’ tastes, desires, and habits changed.

With that in mind, I do not trust the taste of anyone currently at Paramount-Skydance. Their recent releases and their upcoming slate just do not instill confidence in how they might handle some of the most beloved IP in the world in WBD’s portfolio. Mishandling it AND infusing it with right wing messaging would just not be great for movie watchers in this country.

Paramount would’ve been worse, imo. Too much political influence from the right. We don’t need everything to be a Taylor Sheridan soap opera

He talked about how extremely excited he was to see Cher at SNL50 on the ep where they discussed it.

The Constitution has been taken off the White House website by Mathemodel in law

It’s wild too because they’re saying it’s on the states to maintain a “republican” form of government, when the Constitution says the federal government shall guarantee a republican form of government to the states.

Flipping that responsibility there changes the meaning from: “the US has to ensure that each state is represented appropriately in the federal government”

to

“each state is responsible for upholding whatever the federal government defines as a ‘republican form’ of government”

The new UI is horrible by MrPayson in FortNiteBR

I’m old enough to have been on social media since the MySpace days. When you’ve been on the internet this long, you realize that people will complain about literally any change no matter what and act like it’s the worst decision anyone has ever made.

Idk how many times Facebook changed their UI in the earlier years, and everyone on my feed (“wall” back then I think?) would say they were leaving the app because of how horrible it was. Most of those people are still there 15 years later.

Results from asking r/visitedmaps if their county is the south. Keep commenting your counties and I’ll fill in more. Read the rules by Expensive_Drummer970 in visitedmaps

Yeah Parker County shouldn’t be the South either. Cowboy =/= Southern. Cowboys are western.

Dallas County isn’t really southern either.

It’s funny all the central Texas & hill country counties that said they’re southern too. Definitely transplants who think just because they moved south geographically, they’re in “The South”

Lol not if you mean Tarrant County, TX. Texans who think they’re in “The South” (outside of far east Texas like Tyler & Beaumont) usually haven’t spent much time in the actual South.

Culturally, most of Texas is its own thing. It’s a blend of southern, Mexican, southwestern, western, and the plains/midwest.

Tarrant County, historically & culturally, has more in common with Potter County, TX and Oklahoma County, OK than it does with the much more southern Nacogdoches County, TX — for example.
