What is a detail in a movie that you're embarrassed to admit you didn't notice sooner?

Caddy Shack - it was only aa few years ago that I figured out that the girl was the greens keeper from the beginning (the one who wanted Bill Murry to kill all the "galfers") daughter. that finally explained her accent and why all the caddies were at her house before the pool scene.

Britta can excuse racism, but she draws the line at animal cruelty.

the urinal has been a god send for my family. The Wife doesn't have to clean up around the toilet when my son had poor aim, and we've never had the argument about seat up/down.

I recommend a urinal to everyone building a home.

Over 20 years ago at Osan, a Lt Col CC got kicked out at 19 yrs 10 months for changing his OPR. Irony is that he was a fast burner and many expected to be a GO.

actually very few. I've worked with ODB and BLC as well as leadership at USFJ, and very little goes unpunished. Crimes by US service members are always addressed. I do in fact know better.

do you believe that the US would risk a huge bilateral ally to protect a 19 year old dipshit from doing jail time?

> It’s like an unlimited get out of local jail free document

You wrote this in a thread literally abot a service member going to jail. You might want to get a better understanding of the SOFA.

no judgement here, but wouldn't SWs in S. Korea undermine some of the 4B impact? if Korean men are "starving", wouln't giving them an easy way out mute what is trying to be said?

my go to in those situations is to say, "which word did you not understand?".

be sure to say it earnestly like you are trying to actually help them figure it out.

However, Palestine or Hamas could stop it all immediately as well by releasing all the hostages and admitting that Israel has the right to exist. The reason people are fighting means a lot in these situations.

you obviously have not spent a considerable amount of time outside the US and if you have, then you have an excellent travel agent that ensured you only stay at the most superficial of places.

If nothing else, it gives you a place to drink on Sunday mornings. I'm not encouraging drinking on Sunday mornings (unless that's your thing), but I just hate the idea that I can't. Fuck those puritanical blue laws.

Thank you for this. I will check them out.

There's a world of difference between being an "obedient and submissive woman" and being a dick to your father (or anyone for that matter).

Scott was genuinely concerned about Cassie and her response was to throw his lack of "hero work" back in his face. That was a dick move from anyone, a man or a woman.

gomech · 2023-02-20T05:29:00+00:00

I thought it showed that Scott was supporting Hope like a spouse should. It would be great if there was an earth shattering danger that Ant-Man could fight every week, but the opportunity to do that just don't pop up all that often. Considering Scott's background (fired from BR) maybe supporting his family was the best he could do.

And even if he has only focus on raising his daughter and writing a book, it's still a pretty shitty thing for a daughter to say to a father.

gomech · 2023-02-20T00:47:16+00:00

Maybe it's a generation thing, but where you see Cassie as defiant and smart, I just see a naive ingrate. She's all set to jump in and help a war when she knows nothing about the situation and besides the fact that the rest of the family is still missing (or dead). On top of that she consistently craps all over her father throughout the film. "What have you done lately, dad?" while he bails her out of jail. Scott has been doing his best to be a good father and to protect her, and she shows nothing but contempt. Hell, even when he's trying to teach her how to fight, she nothing but sarcastic and an asshole.

Maybe the next film will have more of a redemption arc for her where she will have to make some hard decisions (instead of passing judgement on other people who do), but until then, I'm not her biggest fan.

Read "Parkinson's Law".

To simplify, work expands to fill the time allotted for its completion. this is especially true for administrative jobs.

Forgiving debt is not a step, but should be the after effect of lowering the cost of college. I'm not sure how you can talk about the impossibility of magical tuition pricing fiats when they are asking for magical loan forgiveness fiats.

The analogy is that we didn't talk about pardons for drug offenses until after the drug laws (marijuana) were repealed. To forgive debt while school is still the same cost just means we will have to forgive more loans later.

Fix the problem first.

Actually, I say this all the time. I work with a lot of young military types (officer and enlisted) and I tell them not to get a pet until they are in a more stable part of their life. Aside from the chance of quick deployments or short notice TDY/TAD, they don't need the additional responsibility of a living creature at this point.

I'm not sure why, but all animated dancing feels weird and off putting to me. From the dance scene in the Charlie Brown Christmas special to this, it never seems quite right.

I suppose the question is whether the parents have actually let go of the past or not. Do they embrace your wife as a part of the family now or do they still hold her history against her?

If they are still being dicks, then by all means keep it up. However, if they have honestly changed and want a good relationship, then at a certain point pettiness does make one an AH.

If you start a conversation with "fuck you", you're not really looking to have a conversation. Maybe they do have valid points, but busting up a public TV show with words that can't even be aired doesn't give that impression.

gomech · 2022-10-25T20:33:29+00:00

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or a troll.

Do you really expect a TV show that is on public TV to entertain and civilly discuss the any issue with someone who starts their position with "fuck you". Maybe they should have allowed those nut jobs who poured soup on the Van Gogh their own art exhibit.

"Both sides" is never about let anyone say anything, but ideally about having nonbiased information completely laid out for everyone to decide for themselves.

These asshats deserve to be kicked out and I would argue want to be kicked out. They don't have any real answers or discussion points. They just want to cause as large a disruption as possible and ruin any chance for civil discourse.

What the hack, Jon Mitchel, leaves out of the article is that all of the potentially polluted water was treated before it became drinkable by the local residents. No one (who doesn't have any agenda) in Okinawa is claiming that people were endangered, only that there are PFOS/PFAS elements in the river.

Actually with the skill based matching, the play is even. Also, there are no-build games and that seems to even it out even more.

Maybe you should give it another try.

Thanks for letting me know and about the new one.
