White House Down is leagues ahead of Olympus has Fallen, it's not even close, yet olympus has much better ratings and is on tv more often. Gerard whatever his name is blows compared to channing tatum. Channing needs more action movie roles, he could be the next Jason Statham and finally bring us crank 3 if statham isn't willing to do his duty.

White House Down has the president (Jamie Foxx) driving around in a limo and it rules. And it looks like a real movie. There's something about the cinematography of Olympus Has Fallen that makes it look like a TV movie.

no, one is a boring gerard butler movie who wishes he was an action star but isn't, the other is a charming channing tatum movie where he not only proves to be an excellent father, but also saves the country from white supremacists instead of gerard's boring north koreans or whatever.

I don't mind that google harvests all my habits and has a profile on me. All I ask is that you stop advertising me things that i already bought. Like yesterday I bought franks red hot sauce for the first time in over 6 years, and guess what, I start getting franks red hot sauce ads on youtube. I already bought it fuckers. Same with the drat mattresses. I bought it 2 months ago, stop advertising me it!

if you are going to be our all-knowing overlord, at least be smart about it and don't try and convince people to buy things they already have, as you very well know

I like the stupid "organic" hipster products like this Ocean's Halo broth. It's just soup broth, but it's really good poo poo. I'm confused as to why they play up all the soy their broths have while simultaneously playing up their soy sauces, which DON'T have soy. So you've got your ramen broth chock full of soy, and soyless soy sauce to go with it. Why did you stop there? Who asked you to not put soy in the soy sauce? It's like asking for artificially made natural ingredients, it makes no sense.

Anime has pretty much always had a disproportionatly large queer fan base, which is always going to drive the ire of homophobes. Admittedly this is based mostly on my own personal experiance, but even just 10 years ago there was a sentiment that it was for "virgins and fags" which seems to drive general sentiment still today. Not to a huge degree of course, not nearly as much as it used to.

Like I said more of a hot take than an opinion, but I am unaware of a "post your personally held hot take" thread.

i dont get it, whenever i thought of anime fans i'd think of people who regularly used 4chan and something awful: horny boys who will get mad if someone tells em that real women are better than the redhead from evangelion

although these days i think of anime fans the same way i think about gamers: OK until they start telling you about which characters they relate to.

Along potentially similar lines, a buddy of mine talked me into watching DBZ abridged and, well, it’s actually pretty awesome. Superior, even. I don’t know if that’s unpopular or not.

Is it hit and miss? absolutely. But it captures the idiotic spirit of the show and brings back fond memories.

See I’ve always associated it with the 4chan toxic nerd types, and usually the scorn I’ve seen has been around the more problematic aspects of sexualizing childlike characters, so it’s interesting to read another perspective from the queer community, which I guess I’ve never really thought about.

I suppose anime really is a land of contrasts.

When I think of anime I think of things like Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Cowboy Bebop, or Princess Mononoke. Liking anime is not controversial to me. However when most people talk about anime they apparently mean some kind of demon rape or high school ninja rape show I've never seen or heard of so it's better not to chime in to defend anime too much.

Also, I feel like associating anime with creepy poo poo is justified, but it is also a symptom of being extremely online.

Since we're still on mattresses: there is no mattress worth 4-5k+. I've laid on one of those top of the line tempurpedic ones, it's just a good mattress. You can get a good mattress for 10-20% of that.

Floor models, always floor models. No insurance, but they make replacement parts and you oughtta know how mechanical poo poo works.

Also, never buy an adjustable base unless it's at-cost. Never get the insurance, either, unless you're in a Brewster's Millions-type situation. I'm talking zero margin, make the salesman show you his screen.
