Because work is what we spend the majority of our time doing, for many it is legitimately necessary to keep wider society functioning, it's directly tied to our primary means of survival (money), and of course sunk-cost fallacy (e.g "I've spent so much time on it it must be important or I've wasted my life")

He seems very charming. Charming is (or is almost) by definition when you have no obvious redeeming or useful qualities to people but they are drawn to you, anyway. Also, handsome (including his voice) and his large chin may make him seem particularly masculine in an everyday-guy sort of way.

Evil Dead 2 is a pretty cool movie with a very memorable tree rape and some very cool camera work. Raimi looked at Evil Dead 1 and just decided to do it again, but better, which is also pretty cool.

"Being yourself," while at the same time "Doing the right thing," isn't necessarily going to overlap unless you're trying to "Act like the person you want to be."

Fake it 'til you make it, in other words. Decency is its own reward!

This question makes me wonder which state is the best to live in based exclusively off of official state cuisine.

New Mexico's state vegetable is refried beans so that seems pretty good and silly, but Minnesota rocks the honeycrisp apple and those are delightful.

You maybe live in the wrong state. Try Minnesota with its honeycrisp Apple official state fruit.

Just never stop doing heroin because if you get into methadone maintenance therapy you will turn into a cake and ice cream eating machine. It's healthier to just keep on using.

Because anything is an insult if it refers to a woman.

Note that bro is fine, "sissy" is an insult. Sir is fine, "madam" runs a whorehouse. Guys are fine, "gals" is a bit condescending.

Then on the other hand dog, oval office, and guy, all insulting, became acceptable to use among friends after they started referring to men for a while.

When the object enters the timestream, time begins to correct itself. Let me use this example: Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff."

Time works the same way.

Evil Dead 2 was largely a parody of the first film, which was terrible at best. The Evil Dead has become somewhat of a cult classic, but only because the vastly superior Evil Dead 2 brought attention to it.

Bruce Campbell is an interesting guy because rather than being a small fish in a big pond he decided to stick in the small pond and become king of the fish.

His popularity is because he's the best at what he does and didn't aspire to be 'better', and has the integrity and creative freedom that results from that.

Evil Dead 2 is good because it's a really good film that is a parody, a legit horror film, and actually manages to be funny.

Other films have tried this but very few have managed it.

As for my question, why do people like Army of Darkness? It's a lovely PG -13 version of Evil Dead 2.
