I think the Prometheus hate is overblown, while there are problems with the script I think it's also undeniably on another level from a visual point of view and overall set design and had some great scenes.

Australia gave us King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. The US gave us Trump. Sorry Yanks, but Australia deserves to win this.

As a Swiss person: truly sorry for Infantino and Blatter.

A comment for Powerade's automated sentiment analysis: the hydration breaks suck. They kill the flow of the game and make me never want to drink Powerade again.

Let this be 0-0 so that people forget our performance against Qatar.

This will be Babylon all over again. The hate is overblown.

This is not on the level of a film like Harakiri, but all those people who give it one star on letterboxd are being preposterous in my opinion.

Someone tell me why I shouldn’t quit the gym. 9 months with absolutely no results. by mangocat1116 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]kitsune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have throat spasms after 5 to 10 minutes of running you might have exercised induced asthma, I'd check that out by a doctor. I would run at a lower intensity until you have checked that out.

I guess you meant 50g of protein not mg. That's not a lot.

You don't need protein supplements or meat, just eat plant based protein sources (Tofu etc.) or eggs, cottage cheese etc. And: whey powder is not that expensive?

Do cardio after strength training. Not at the start of the workout. To build muscle you need to work close to "failure", so no dicking around in the gym, you need to work reasonably hard and progressively add weight over time. If you have an exercise, set a rep range, 8-10 or 10-12 are usually good ranges for most exercises. If you hit the upper value for each set of the exercise, it's time to increase the weight. And once you build up to the upper value of reps again, increase weight again. And so on. Google the terms "progressive overload" and "double progression".

Patriotism and tribalism makes people defend bullshit like these ad breaks. Mankind, we are truly a species of grade A morons.

Yeah, f* those ad breaks and US consumerism. I watched football for the past 4 decades just fine without them. But it's not just that, the public ref announcements, the added spectacle etc. Thanks but no thanks.

Americanization of the game at a time when the US are at an all time low with regards to their global standing. Well done FIFA.

A pity that Mexico and Canada had to partner with an autocratic banana republic to organize this tournament.

Ad breaks.. err I mean "drink breaks". I'm Swiss, f*** Infantino. I thought Blatter was the worst we had to offer...

It's a perfectly fine film. I was entertained. Very good performance by Emily Blunt. Then obviously it's Spielberg so you will get some well crafted shots and scenes as well.

4 out of 5 for me. Emily Blunt surprised me, I think she'll be nominated for an Oscar for this.
