BottleKnight posted:Scooters own, and Charlotte looked to be a magnificent one. Yep! Those scratches on her side are from when the brakes mysteriously stopped working a few years ago; I am glad I was wearing thick jeans and gloves or else I'd have had a bad time. The mardi gras beads are from when I let a friend take care of her while I visited new york city last labor day (where I saw keane), my friend has no idea how they got there but they became a fixture immediately and have since lost their coloration from the elements. Charlotte died at 1804 miles, Scarlett hit mile 8333 when I took her out for a quick spin just now.

My 2005 Sentra was named Old Reliable since she went 10 years and 150k miles without ever breaking down. After two breakdowns in two months, I've realized its sadly time to move on. I've been test driving new cars today, so far the Honda Fit is winning.

Ranked is a much better set up, but is unfortunately locked behind 50 games played. Custom modes count, thankfully, but it's still a bit of a slog. Even if you only play custom you're going to get a lot of idiot hosts.

My first scooter (unknown Chinese brand "Titan 150", nickname, "The Grackle") was a gigantic piece of poo poo that ate its drive belt every two or three months. The clutch would just gently caress up relentlessly, and the electrical system was so poo poo, the headlights basically never worked, I couldn't ride it at night. I had flashlights brighter than that headlight. My current scooter is great, a 400cc Suzuki Burgman, but I've just had a laundry list of troubles, a litany of woes owning the drat thing. It got stolen, then recovered in a police sting against the crew of thieves who nabbed it, removed the cargo case, the keylock and the windshield, snapped the lock of the underseat cargo hold, and spraypainted the thing black in what can only be termed as a "rattlecan holocaust" finish. It probably would have been heading south of the border if, as I later heard rumor of, one of the thieves hadn't been caught joyriding one of the stolen bikes and rolled over on the entire operation. This same stealing-and-hotwiring job ended up causing a short that put the bike in the shop twice in April of 2014, some seven months later, both times under the suspicion of a fuel injector problem, since it tripped that idiot light in the course of shorting out. Just had to get fresh tires put on, and then, not two weeks later, I get a loving flashback to the Grackle as the drive belt goes and leaves me stranded on I-35 in rush hour. loving great. It's still in the shop, should be out early next week. I don't have any photos of my current bike except from before it got its apocalyptic makeover. Weirdly, the Titan, I realized some time later, is a cheapo knockoff of the Burgman.

I didn't really feel like watching a second movie yesterday, so now I'm watching Contact while eating leftovers from dinner last night for lunch. This was one of my favourite meals before and I think that the new healthier and more limited version is still a good approximation. It's all the same tastes, so I'm really enjoying it.

I agree the whole "lol we built 2" thing was stupid, but the entire rest of the movie is very much the kind of thing I love. I like realistic portrayals of unusual or fantastic things. How would people honestly react and live in a world where something huge like this happens. The people denying it, the politicizing of it, the nonsense unrelated issues being forced into it by people with an agenda, people taking advantage, people getting violent. I like seeing how society as a whole deals with things, it's super interesting. Some of my other favourite stories with similar themes: Contagion, a movie from a few years ago about the outbreak and subsequent cure of a disease that kills off many, many people. The Day After, a TV movie from the 80s about the 24 hours after a nuclear attack on the US and how people who were affected but outside the blast radius cope. Also despite it's many, many flaws World War Z is still a great example of the whole societal progression. This is also why I hated that one episode of Black Mirror because they did not marry the technology in with the people very well and so it was completely unrealistic. So yeah, Contact is a great movie.

I like seeing how society as a whole deals with things, it's super interesting. The Day After is an interesting movie. It got a lot of attention and ABC had to set up a 1-800 number with counselors for people who could not handle the potential reality of nuclear war. It also had some good newspaper advertisements. I really like this one in particular:  I keep meaning to watch When the Wind Blows, which is similar to The Day After and Threads. I'm never really in the mood to watch it though. Too depressing. Contagion is a good movie, though. I really liked the sub-plot about the blogger trying to profit off a worldwide catastrophe using homeopathic medicine and the media is forced to take him seriously because of the insanity of the situation. I actually really like fiction that focuses on the beginning of the apocalypse than fiction that focuses on its aftermath. The Last Policeman does a really good job of showing humanity failing to cope with its impending destruction. I also really love stories of pre-Revolutionary France and Russia, where the ruling elite see warning signs, but fail to do anything until there is blood in the streets. Is pre-apocalyptic fiction a thing? EDIT: With Black Mirror, are you talking about the episode with the cartoon bear? I hated that episode for roughly the same reasons. There's no reason for that kind of a joke candidate to be that successful, except that the plot demands it, or for him to somehow lead humanity into a bizarre 1984-esque dystopia QuoProQuid fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Jul 4, 2015 |
