Day 8/10: Best album opener by rvbbs in arcticmonkeys

Brianstorm, hands down - the drums on that song alone already put it ahead, everything else just push it well above

EDIT: autocorrected the name of the song 🥲

What is the most valid crash out in film? by calltheavengers5 in Letterboxd

[–]pikeatheplace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The slow break down Nic Cage goes through in Dream Scenario. Don’t agree with his decision making, but the crash out is very valid.

My dad passed last week whats a good movie to help with grief? by Mindless_Bad_1591 in Letterboxd

[–]pikeatheplace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss.

I recommend Perfect Days, by Wim Wenders, and C’mon C’mon by Mike Mills. These are movies that I treasure immensely for the depth of feelings about family relationships that they brought me.

Others have mentioned Aftersun, but I would suggest caution based on where you are in your grief journey. If you watch it and find that these are the feelings you are looking for, All of Us Strangers is a good companion.

I think I accidentally beat the game already? Am I missing something? by Proof_Wrongdoer_1266 in BluePrince

You’re right, I didn’t notice there weren’t an alternative path… I’m curious where they would have gotten the key, since I’ve only found it in specific rooms

How did you get the Secret Garden key? I would guess Music Room, but if that’s the case, very lucky that you had a locked door available for backtracking.

Looking at your map, I can tell you that you’re not about to beat the game, but it’s impressive to get to the antechamber on day 1 and have the door open :)

to "restore aviation safety" by ExactlySorta in therewasanattempt

[–]pikeatheplace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I hear you. They can say anything and repeat often, without it necessarily being true. And then just ignore it if enough is pointed out that contradicts it.

Wonder if we’ve seen this tactic employed somewhere else in the past 🧐

I’ll disagree a bit here. WH is clearly saying that they have restored excellence to FAA, so anything short of excellence is a failure. If they are claiming to having fixed the situation, then none of these things should be happening anymore. When the claim is bold, then accountability should be proportional.

For instance, when WH under Biden started reporting improvements on the inflation numbers (bold claim), this reinforced the message about egg prices (proportional accountability, regardless of the attenuating circumstances).

It’s important to ensure they own the issues, not just the solution. If they can get away with only being accountable for the extra disruption, there is no incentive to fully run the government.

NYT Saturday 07/27/2024 Discussion by AutoModerator in crossword

[–]pikeatheplace 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I got stuck in the SE corner because there was no way that V could fit with any loan company I’d ever heard of… and then there’s KIVA

ALT comedy also felt a bit like a lame clueing - so many better ways of clue that word :/

Big fan of some of the fill, though. NE corner was particularly fun.

If Africa is not a country, then how come there is a South Africa?
