just want to reiterate this



oh yeah no spending the autumn of your life in this place, far away from "civilization", the only thing to worry about the flowers in your garden, yeah nice punishment lol. napoleon got lucky and was a wuss for complaining

I saw Wayne's World when it came out in 1992 and just thought it was stupid. I still do. It seems to be adored by everyone else my age though (and some who aren't).

Clueless is essential as it launched Paul Rudd's career.

edit:
Also this choice bit from Paul Rudd's wikipedia article is intriguing:

Rudd is a fan of music

Being a fan of music myself, I feel like I have a real connection with this guy!

The man that is most attractive to women, the ideal desirable man in the minds of heterosexual women, is not some super hero actor or some handsome rich guy in an expensive suit. It is M. Emmet Walsh in the movie Blood Simple. The body, the style, the voice, the personality, that is what women want.

Most women won't tell you this, but it's true.

I feel quite bad about blanket posting "cities are shitholes" and then getting empty quoted half a dozen times. Plenty people don't choose to live in a city and in fairness I've never actually lived in one, only visited.

There's a lot to like about cities, when I go to Just Eat in my small 8,000 person town I get 2 options, when I want to buy weed it involves an hour and twenty minute round trip, I haven't had a McDonalds since pre-lockdown

I like living in a city because most goods and services are available very conveniently and public transportation is good. And also because I grew up in an isolated suburban nightmare where only subdivisions and nothing else existed so anything seems like an upgrade really

Living in a nice area of a city with all of the stuff you mention is great and really convenient, but living in a poor area of a city which doesn’t have a lot of services/shops nearby sucks.

Living in one of those poor areas is the worst of both worlds—it has both the inconveniences of living in a suburb as well as living in a city. I totally get why people who cannot afford the nice areas of a city would want to move into the suburbs—they are way more convenient than the alternative.

I liked being dirt poor in the Bronx more than my current situation of being dirt poor in back west Texas tbqh. Although I'm in what passes for a city still, nearly 300k people. Being poor in the boonies would be even worse.

PHUO: you wanna know a bad city? Toronto. It's not the worst, it's actually rather nice, but it's the most aggressively generic and boring place you can imagine. Say what you will about Paris or NYC, they have character.

He's definitely up there. But I think women's interest in evil Ernest is more purely sexual, whereas their attraction to M. Emmet Walsh in Blood Simple hits everything, he is their ideal sexual, romantic, and life partner.

Me too. I live visiting but after a few days I can't shake the feeling of the endless press of humanity. Never being more than a few feet from a crowd. Bodies stacked like cordwood every time you sleep. Nothing ever resting and sound and sound and sound.

And also the universal piss smell. Also I never see actual human turds except when I'm in a city center.

I have never, ever seen a city like this and I've lived in major multi-million person cities my entire life, and traveled extensively prior to COVID. Is this just another weird goon exaggeration thing?
