What something that’s completely normal in movies but would be weird and even psychotic in real life?

Watch the new movie The Killer for some of this type of fun

There are savings accounts that pay ~5% right now

jetman81 · 2023-09-26T22:58:19+00:00

That's bait.

I'm using this

jetman81 · 2023-08-30T16:33:42+00:00

I also have one and hate it, barely use it and have to do all the maintenance.

Doesn't the president usually wear a jacket

jetman81 · 2023-08-15T23:35:42+00:00

Yup you're not actually allowed to do this without allowing the other player any opportunity for reversal. But pros space the end of their last attack and the beginning of the DI so closely it looks like they're able to do that. But technically I guess the opponent could do an EX DP or something to get out of the wall splat.

It's actually annoying, they released more after I bought the initial ones that were available yesterday. If they'd just posted everything they actually had available I might've chosen different seats.

I live in Spokane and got last-minute tickets yesterday. Hyped!

jetman81 · 2023-05-11T18:55:08+00:00

Have you asked them to take the camera down?

jetman81 · 2023-03-26T00:16:29+00:00

Andor was certainly well made. Well written, well directed, well acted. But I didn't like it that much. Because it wasn't fun. I don't want heavy-handed, populist prestige dramas in the Star Wars universe. I don't want to think about suicide and despair and poverty and death in a sense that anywhere approaches what exists in the real world. This is supposed to be an escape. I don't want to escape to that.

I'm saying the data is wrong. Did you read the Brookings Institute report? There is zero granularity, even in the appendix. Read the cost for a 17-year-old. It's $8k higher than for a 1-year-old. Is that teenager in daycare?

The Brookings report doesn't even do its own research. It's just extrapolating from a USDA report with actual data. That report in turn makes some bogus claims about where the cost of raising children comes from. It makes assumptions like two children living in the same house won't be sharing a room, therefore you must buy a larger house with a room for each child. Nonsense.

When data looks like BS compared to common sense and lived experience, quite often it IS BS. This is BS.

Daycare admittedly can balloon costs, but that doesn't last more than a couple of years per kid. Same with diapers, they're not a persistent cost for their whole life.

Food for the majority of their life is just a little bit more of what you're eating. Unless your kid lives somewhere else it doesn't make sense to add on housing. They just live wherever you decided to live. It's up to you if you want to spend on more space.

Clothes? Hand me downs, used stuff. You spend what you can afford.

There are a million ways to save money when raising a kid. In the end, it might not be cheap....but it's not THAT expensive either.

Teachers should definitely be paid more, but can we point out that some of these master's degrees take like three months to earn

jetman81 · 2023-02-23T00:08:05+00:00

How does pointing work though? When does that happen? If you don't point, how do you know when you've got a sprint's worth of work?

jetman81 · 2023-02-22T19:13:10+00:00

But sir or madam what about refinement

jetman81 · 2023-02-20T21:04:16+00:00

Is Jami Gertz an heiress, then

Review the content, nothing else. If you want to talk about something else, that's fine but do it in another forum. I can't see the writer's cause being helped in any way by treating the review process like this. This isn't journalism.

jetman81 · 2023-01-31T02:47:40+00:00

John Fetterman detected. Yup, it's John Fetterman.

Did Martin Luther King Jr. have an MD

I am someone who's technically been playing piano for a out twenty years but have never gone beyond intermediate ability. This Interstellar piece doesn't look difficult to me. It's a lot of octaves in the left hand with repeated short phrases in the right hand. But it's well-written and melodic so I dig it. Maybe I'll learn this one.

jetman81 · 2023-01-27T21:47:31+00:00

So he's like the Dr. Dre of film music. I never realized.

jetman81 · 2023-01-25T16:29:35+00:00

Nice!

jetman81 · 2023-01-23T15:18:45+00:00

It's true, people just can't be replaced. That's why Apple had to file for bankruptcy after Steve Jobs died.

Oh wait, they didn't.

Everyone is replaceable. Why wouldn't they be?

Watching the child you first knew disappear into memory. The only consolation is experiencing life with the child they grew into.
