A pitch writ on a picture of a pitcher

I really liked the Jim Caviezel movie adaptation

Count of Monte Cristo is great but it was a bit of a slog at times if I’m honest. Granted last time I read it it was for school and I had to plow through all 650 pages or so in less than a week because I put it off til the last second

Not no-cost but cooking, gotta feed yourself anyway might as well have fun with it

Not so much scripted as just I can logically follow where I was to where I am and infer where I’m going next. There’s surprises to be sure but there’s only so many way things can happen given the parameters of a story you’re very familiar with

Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading Places

A working search function, real annoying having to use a different search engine to find thing on a website that ostensibly already has one

You talk to people you shared those experiences with. Someone is bound to have remembered something different you didn’t

Can’t be liable for theft if there were no locks?

Most people realized that terms they had been using were viewed as offensive to someone because of the wildly increased communication capacity of the internet. Aside from the majority not wanting to be a dick to someone else insulting someone tends to cause trouble for the offender as well. So in purely selfish terms it was easier to just not say the things that would get you in trouble.

Right? Won’t be able to have a serious movie about the FBI for the next 30 years

A narcissist sees the rest of the world as inferior to them their perception of reality is all derivative of this opinion. When confronted with objective reality disputing that they don’t just react to the singular confrontation. Because their psuedo superiority underlines everything they think about any evidence they are wrong begins to dismantle every opinion they have. Now being forced to consider the entire way they perceive reality is flawed its easier to get angry and confrontational instead of reevaluating their worldview

You made my argument for me. There isn’t a thinking being on the other side. Its a computer program that sees the words “suicide” or “kill myself” and has an equally good chance to recommend a therapist or a list of methods. I’m not saying Chat GPT was holding the knife it just unthinkingly showed where to put it to an already suicidal child

Swift pushed for a loophole that would allow her to conceal the flight records of her private planes. Her argument was that her safety was at risk but to me it still came off as “I don’t want to deal with the poors complaining about my rich people behavior”. Recently ICE has been using the same loophole to conceal the flight records of deportation (read kidnapping and human trafiicking) flights.

She only said something now because her privileged ass gave ICE a tool to hide their kidnappings and she wants to push that out of the news. I try not to take issue with things that exist ostensibly to make people happy but let’s not kid ourselves, this was a calculation

A book doesn’t respond to you with encouraging language

Imo for most applications that I’d be using an analog clock for a time difference of even up to 5-10 minutes is irrelevant. If I really needed up to the minute accuracy I’m using a digital clock with the seconds counting down

But what if chores suck?
