If you've never watched the movie, you should. It's set in the real world. Everyone plays themselves, but in an extreme caricature fashion. Everyone in hollywood is an idiot first, a coward second, and a complete piece of poo poo.

In the context of the film it makes absolute perfect sense that Tatum would cling to McBride's dick.

Except for Emma Watson, she just doesn't want to get raped. :colbert:

My boot camp platoon watched This is the End during some down time we had during Marine Week which was a weird as hell experience.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

It's almost funny that pretty much the only population vulnerable to this thing (olds) are also the ones most likely to think it's all hype, no big deal, etc. I guess they have to think that way or the cognitive dissonance of their years of voting against any socialized healthcare or worker protections and for cutting all government funding and safety nets will catch up to them.

Apparently real estate agents down in Boca are getting driven around the twist by old New Yorkers wanting to escape south, so some old farts are worried.

My old man has cancer and has mostly self isolated for the last 4+ months due to chemo... He's good. Me? I'm pretty sure I caught the kung flu and it loving sucks. Home isolation for two weeks at minimum.

Where I'm at, most neighborhood food places have either shut their doors or gone takeout only. Was getting prepackaged gelato to go and there was an elderly woman in line who was upset they weren't giving out tastings/samples today. I mean, there's already a confirmed case in a nursing home here but roll those dice, lady.

Had a coworker bitching that the local gym was canceling classes and observing an occupancy maximum set by the "big brother" governor. I said "yeah,what an rear end in a top hat. Who does he think he is, a doctor?" he is

It's gonna be a fight to have isolation measures persist into the summer. Everyone's gonna have grown bored with it and want to hang out in the sun and have barbecues etc. Even having heard of gramps dying sans ventilator in the hallway of / tent outside a hospital in April / May probably won't prevent that.

from what I've seen the alt-right is mostly calling it the Chinese Flu because they really want to push the narrative that it was caused by and is spread by Chinese people, since it's causing a spike in anti-Asian racism

kung flu and winnie the flu, which I've also heard, are pretty much immediately recognizable as jokes and were mostly used by people trying to brush it off or make light of the situation without racial motives, as opposed to the continuous repetition of "chinese flu, china virus, wuhan flu, etc." that I've seen from people who are saying "this is the apocalypse and it's china's fault, shun all chinese people for your own safety"

Yes, a joke where you combine the word "flu" with the words "kung fu", which has absolutely nothing to do with China, is less racist than calling it "the Chinese flu"
