I think this is probably it for a lot of people, and now kids who have never known any other world. I saw my local library had a campaign to get people to read 15 minutes/day and got sad when I thought about this being an issue. This was aimed at kids, but probably could be at adults too.

Hell that's been my entire life since I could read. I've always been reading some book. Often some dumb bullshit, I'm no scholar over here or anything, but something.

I've always had a book that I'm reading and even when I finish one late at night on Kindle I buy my next one before I sleep because I like having something to go into immediately. I think last time I checked my emails from amazon I had over 1000 days straight of using the kindle or kindle app to read something. It's replaced my doom scrolling habit now too. Finish at the gym, have 15 minutes before I need to drive to work - cool knock out a chapter or two.

Fixed.

Also am I the only one who doesn't get the hype for either Barbie or Oppenheimer? Where was the demand for these in the past decade?

Part of me wonders if a bit of it is legacy media working hand in glove with their parent companies to shift focus away from the strike at the moment? But I can also see how movies based off the most iconic toy in history and one of the most popular film makers putting out a history drama draws attention. I also think that with Marvel dying a slow, painful death and Star Wars flat out sucking has kind of drained the hype culture of something to glom on to and this is just whats next.


I'll watch Sound of Freedom via... means... when I can, but its just because I've heard its actually a pretty tight and good movie in its own right and I don't care a lick about QAnon. It's kinda funny to me in a way that I just find things funny that the stuff around the movie - like it being bought by a studio and then shelved for years and the online premier press conference having server problems just adds to the tinfoil hat theories about the movie though. My gut feeling is it'll be like most dumb panics around movies - it'll probably just be a movie and I'll watch it and go "wait? That's what people were mad about?" after having seen it.

You... don't? That's not what I was saying, but you did kinda stumble into the basic thrust of it. You have a movie about a toy and a movie about a dude. Neither of these has seemed to be something anyone has been clamoring for at any point that I can remember in the last ten (or more) years but suddenly they're both Big Deals that everyone wants to see and I don't get it. :shrug:

Sorry I was being a dick for no reason. Both movies seem to be very good so it kinda works out but you're totally right. There was nothing and no one who wanted these. But maybe that's what we need these days..no expectations (aka no capes).

I got one chapter into Ducks by Kate Beaton and it's a great story but all I want to do is refresh the forums.

It's a great book! It's amazing how her art skills have improved over the years from the "Hark A Vagrant" days. They are still just pen heavy linework and still have some looseness but it's a practiced looseness that has a depth to it.



but I wanna shitpost on the forums.





MEDICAL QUESTION TO THE MEDICAL TFFERS
I am getting sharp pains in my right hand at times. It's in the metatarsals sort of one inch down from where my first and second finger meet, or 1 inch down from my second finger. I can grip things just fine, but sometimes I do a practiced motion like cupping my hand to pick up my backpack or ... wiping my butthole after making GBS threads ... and there's a sudden pain. It goes away just as fast, and again I can grab things and hold things and type just fine but sometimes my hand gets in JUST THE RIGHT SPOT and I get a sharp pain that goes away just as fast.

Also I'm learning how to wipe with my left hand.

I can’t help with that, sorry, but I can tell you that if you can, get a bidet. I won’t overhype it but it is definitely worth it, especially if wiping is causing issues.

The funny thing is the Barbenheimer thing started because Barbie's campaign people did it first and only when it was clear they were beating us (universal) in tracking. We reluctantly took part but when it was a competition that didn't happen.

I've got no help either but I suddenly had this same thing or something like it happen on my left hand. It's not bad, at least yet. I don't think it's carpal tunnel or anything. I haven't been typing a whole lot or doing repetitive tasks or whatever.

Just when I make some specific movement it lets me know something isn't right. I'm just assuming I picked up something heavy and my hand wasn't ready to deal with it and I didn't notice it/brushed it off at the time and strained something. We'll see if it gets better or worse. Not a big deal (and my wiping situation is fine thankfully), just funny we're having something of the same thing going on with weird hand problems.

Ok, so my butthole is clean, but now wet. How do I make it not wet? BY WIPING???



no seriously I really want to know, because bidet use became a thing during the pandemic and the run on toilet paper and while it sounds good I just can't get over "well what happens after the cleaning?"

It’s more of a dabbing just to get it dry, but they do make models that shoot hot air at your butt to dry it. I’ve only got the $40 special at Amazon though. Still works!

Something good:

I did a community fair in my town that was put on by the local food pantry. Brought a fire truck and an ambulance to show the kids how things work. I spent a good 20 minutes talking to a 12 yo girl who asked a lot of "how do you feel when..." and "what would you do if ..." questions, followed by an 8 yo kid (I asked their ages because they were good questions) who was anxious then finally goes "Ok, can you tell me how the heart works? I've always been curious..."

I might actually have some hope for the future.

In the mean time I'll be yelling at this Turkish drama because eveyone at this point is being dumb. Don't give the poison to your unreliable ally in the harem, he's going to gently caress up your sultan murdering plans!

On the other hand, the evil eunich's got look of an evil eunich so a+++ casting. Also the evil concubine/sultan's step-mom looks like a playable character in an Assasins's Creed game and if she wasn't up against my fave I'd be more in to her. Basically watch both Magnificent Century's series if you like palace dramas, y'all.

Oppenheimer is, of course, way too long, but there's some really high highs along the road. Add that to some dynamite performances from the leads, and I'm willing to forgive it its excesses in runtime and in musical score.

This will sound like a backhanded compliment, but I feel like much like Michael Bay, Nolan has pretty much settled into making movies the way he makes movies. Neither is likely to show us many new tricks at this point in their respective careers, but they're both such masters of doing the things that they do, I still appreciate every opportunity to see them at work, especially in cases like this or Pain and Gain where they put those talents to somewhat unusual ends.
