Don’t leave it all on Tobe. Depending on how recently you’ve asked him, Spielberg directed none, some, most, or all of this movie.

Vanilla Sky. It’s a remake of the Spanish film Open Your Eyes.

I’m not a big fan of Cameron Crowe’s, but this movie was a hell of a ride. And Diaz’s performance was no small part of it.

I have never gotten a job from referral or recruitment. I think I might be too autistic for that.

U.S. dollars literally say “this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private.” That sounds to me like a cashless business should be illegal.

Or the push is to be able to repair and continue using my shit?

People regularly reaffix buttons or patch holes in clothing. Should they not be allowed to? I mean, it’s not that expensive to just buy new clothing, right? And the new styles are just better than what you’re used to, that’s objective fact even if it’s not to your taste.

Only a buffoon would want to spend a little less and keep using a thing they like when they could spend a lot more and get a thing they might not like!

Ah, so you pulled a Jack White (né Gillis) when you got married.

My mother died when I was 19. I’d been estranged from her for over a decade at the point. I wasn’t really upset, but I definitely played it up so I could take a week off of work.

Im a dude which means if someones an adult im not likely to shy away.

That’s not what the word “dude” means. Just because you’d fuck anyone old enough to give consent doesn’t mean all men would.

Tig Notaro used to have a show where celebrities would come on, she would interview them, and at the end she had to guess who they were. So, yes, even famous people who live in LA don’t necessarily know who other famous people are.

Magic Missile normally burns a level one spellslot. If its cost is decreased by 2 points, does that mean your Magic Missile recovers level one spellslots?

If so, your DM is way too nice and also likely to deeply regret giving you such an ability.

How is it cheating? Who is being cheated? Out of what?

Reading the article, it sounds like these students still need to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the material.

Do employers ask for transcripts? I’ve never had that happen before, and I’d find it incredibly odd if I got that request.

I don’t hate Lawnchair. I just hate Nova making the switch necessary.

Patois is a catch-all for non-standard languages, like a pidgin, a creole, or a dialect. It’s not one specific dialect.

OP is saying MAGAs speak in a unique language that only shares superficial similarities to American English.

Honestly? That ending scared the hell of of me three first time I saw it. I was very young the first time I saw it, and that end stuck with me for years.

But Nilbog is goblin spelled backwards!

So Penn & Teller used to do a show called Bullshit where they would investigate things and explain why the “common knowledge” on them was, well, bullshit.

In the episode on handwashing, they took samples from people’s hands, faces, and groins before and after using the bathroom. They came to the conclusion that the before/after on hands was negligible, because most people’s groins are under multiple layers of protection and don’t get exposed to germs.

What they didn’t bring up in the show is that that’s not why you wash your hands when you’re in the bathroom. It doesn’t matter if your asshole is downright sterile, because it’s everything else in the world that is filthy. You wash your hands when you’re in the bathroom because you should be washing your hands regularly throughout the day and it’s easiest to do when you’re already in the room with the soap and running water. It’s got very little to do with anything else you may be doing in the bathroom.

Unfortunately, then you need to buy a book written by a sexual predator.

I worked there twenty years ago, so things may have changed. But back then, you had to take a civil service exam.

They’d do them 3 or 4 times a year, usually on a Saturday at the nearest big city. On the exam, you demonstrate your ability to read house numbers, understand traffic laws, and in general not be a complete idiot. Then you pick your top three post offices you’d want to work out of.

When one of those offices has an opening (which can take months), they interview candidates starting with the highest-scoring people who took the exam and working their way down until the local manager finds a good fit.
