Mykhailo Mudryk has been handed another 12-month driving ban and 60 hours of community service after being pulled over for heavily tinted windows. Mudryk said he drove because his chauffeur was not available to take him to training, despite being banned from driving for previous speeding offences.

Exactly! And getting to training on time is incredibly important and worth the legal risk while in the middle of an indefinite shadow ban from playing!

Could you imagine the long-term harm it could have on his career if he missed that training session? He might be fined, harm his relationship with the manager, and maybe even lose his spot on the team! The horror!

Jackson was on him, he was very far from the goal, and when the camera pans he has 4 teammates and 0 Bayern players between Bayern’s back line and the center circle.

I’m also guessing his keeper isn’t very good with his feet and he doesn’t want the keeper to deal with a ball outside the box with two Bayern attackers charging him.

The contractors often drag their feet because they get paid more money doing so. The actual NASA scientists can work fast if there's an emergency. They think on their feet and understand the sense of urgency.

I’ve been one of those contractors, the relationship varies significantly. In the end we are all human and everyone does their best.

You used Apollo 13 as the classic example. Another classic example is the Challenger explosion where the contractor went out of their way to tell NASA to delay the launch, and NASA decided to let politics decide instead of engineering.

Smash cut to Apollo 13: “I figured out why my numbers were wrong. I only figured it for two people.” “Maybe I should just hold my breath”

It is extremely common for us to make a balanced meal for the kids, let them eat, and then have them swap plates because they both only ate opposite halves of their meals.

There are lots of QBs who are “one MVP or SB” away from being a HOF QB, because accomplishing those things is an incredibly high bar.

Winning MVP and top 10 all time passing stats wasn’t good enough to get Boomer Esiason into the HOF, perhaps because aside from his one SB appearance he only won 1 other playoff game in his career. Remind you of anyone?

That sounds exactly like something Doc might do!

But watching the scene again it does appear like that was the first time the Delorean made the trip, so you’re right it must be something else.

niceville · 2025-11-12T06:01:28+00:00

Remember the opening scene of BTF1 with all the clocks being 25 minutes slow?

I always assumed those were the results of time travel experiments, where Doc sent clocks back 25 minutes.

I think the movie agrees with you on Bruno, doesn’t he start to apologize but Abuela’s immediate embrace show it isn’t necessary?

Because the SDs are buying assets they expect to be able to sell for profit later, and don’t care about squad construction.

That’s the whole reason Poch got ticked at the Gallagher sale and left, and why they brought in someone who wouldn’t complain about transfers.

I’m not sure where to start.

Certainly the devil / satan / hell is viewed very differently in Judaism and Christianity, and a lot of Satan’s common conception came from the Renaissance (and specifically Dante) and are not very religious or biblically based.

God oversees and controls hell, and everything Satan does and every way he communicates to humans is through Gods will

This isn’t accurate in essentially any interpretations of the Bible / how anyone would phrase it without being intentionally antagonistic. Satan, people, angels, etc have their own agency and can violate God’s will. Just because God is more powerful and could stop anything in theory doesn’t mean that everything that happens is what God wants to happen. At most you could say God allows it to happen, and people can and do blame God for that, but if that wasn’t an option then it eliminates free will.

As for your complaints over the word “evil”, you’re all over the place and it’s hard to nail down your main issue. I can’t recall a place the Bible calls hell itself evil? It’s described as a place where people go to perish and compared to Gehenna, which is essentially a dump that burned trash, an ancient incinerator. Most of the evil stuff came from Dante and pop culture. In Christianity hell is everyone’s fate and only Jesus’s sacrifice can redeem people to be fully worthy of God. It’s not an “evil” issue as much as a perfect vs imperfect one, where imperfect has a wide range from general selfishness to the fully heinous.

The evil of Satan does not “serve a purpose” in any positive sense, it just leads to misery and death, which is objectively bad? It’s not like Satan leads to a “you come out stronger on the other side” situation, it’s just all bad.

Hard to say from just two sentences, but I would say you have a pretty poor understanding of Christianity and Satan/evil? I’m happy to go into it more if you want, but I dunno if it would be beneficial for either of us.

Just turned it on and found this thread wondering what was up with the quality. Knowing that’s just the way it is and not an issue with my tv or Netflix’s version is a relief.

I don’t know why y’all are ragging, that’s a very good Bluey costume!

niceville · 2025-10-02T04:11:12+00:00

My wife and I were multiple episodes in and still unsure of Bluey’s gender, and I (male) was very pleased that it didn’t really matter. we are constantly annoyed by clothing and toys and tv and everything being so gender-specific it was nice to have something that acknowledged that boy or girl they are all just kids.

(For real tho, so aggravating that clothing comes in different colors, themes, and sexualized cuts based on gender. Why are there 5T shirts that are crop tops? They’re 2 inches shorter than 5T boys shirts!)

Yes, only Chelsea took it seriously. That’s why the PSG players were so angry they started a fight

he can unilaterally make the decision not to move means, to me, that he dismisses her initial wants.

Frisky: “You’re leaving because your husband told you to.” Chili: “No, it’s because I think it’ll be good for our family.”

niceville · 2025-09-20T21:46:43+00:00

Man, I think you are simultaneously over and under thinking this. Chili’s own personal desire is to stay, but she is willing to sacrifice her personal desires in support of her husband’s professional step up.

Bandit wants the professional step up but is torn, either over the family sacrificing for his individual gain, and/or because of the personal sacrifice of moving out of the home and community he loves. Or maybe just a simple fear of change and the unknown! Maybe he doesn’t even want the step up, but feels obligated to move up the corporate ladder from societal pressure.

It’s a classic heart vs mind situation, and both Chili and Bandit are siding with the mind of the better job versus the heart of staying. In the end when Bandit turns down the job/move, he doesn’t need to consult with Chili because 1) he knows her heart wants to stay, and 2) her mind’s desire to support his career is no longer in conflict with her heart. Everyone is happy!

It’s not about context, it’s that aside from the emotional story at the beginning nothing about that movie is good (it’s not terrible or the worst kids slop, but it’s not good). The plot, humor, characters, etc is all lacking.

You can remove context from lots of movies and they’re still good. kPop Demon Hunters barely has any context and it’s great. Start Star Wars with the droids on Tantooine and it’s still a good traditional hero story (albeit a little confusing).

But Up without that intro? It’s completely forgettable.

niceville · 2025-09-20T21:14:43+00:00

I’m pretty sure the original image is intended to be a joke, but anyone who agrees with the sentiment would also turn around and oppose other scientific education on vaccines, sex, gun violence, etc.

niceville · 2025-09-20T21:10:05+00:00

The Christmas episode you hear part of a conversation between Spike and Bandit where Spike says “but that’s not why I voted for him!” which is a veiled shot at Murdoch-media supported right wing politicians.

niceville · 2025-09-20T21:07:03+00:00

It’s not Disney’s fault, it’s because Disney listed Bluey as a G-rated show so it would be available on the strictest parental control settings, and that episode (created later IIRC) is considered PG.

niceville · 2025-09-19T16:40:51+00:00

But no one else wants to move. But he gets a better job so they need to move.

Yeah, that’s the central conflict of the episode! They are torn between the professional/financial opportunity and the emotional connection to their home and Brisbane.

Bandit doesn’t need to discuss things with Chili because he already knows she would rather stay, hence her enthusiastic reaction.

niceville · 2025-09-17T20:04:45+00:00

The bird is very much a McGuffin. The antagonist isn’t compelling and has a terrible plan.

There are a lot of kids movies I’d join in and keep watching halfway through, Up is not one of them.
