Shangri-Law School posted:What makes for a good day movie? loving right on, the second half of the movie is one long carnival ride that I never wanted to end. I just rewatched Conan the Barbarian last night (1982 version, duh), so that's a solid recommend as always. Also, any answer to "watch should I watch" should always start with "If Fury Road's not available, you should see. . ."

Probably Magic posted:I own In The Loop and haven't watched it yet, how much of an rear end in a top hat am I? Eh, its okay but I didn't love it, basically it's just an extended episode of The Thick of It, which I like well enough but not enough that a movie was extra special or anything.

swickles posted:Hey TFF, if you are like me and have an hour commute, and also some complaints about how the government is acting, I am here to give the PSA that the single most effective way to get your message across is by calling your local reps and Senators. E-mailing is easily ignored, as is hand written letters. Phone calls are the best way to implore a congressman to do something. Visit house.gov to find out your reps, and a basic google search to find your senators. A phone call is always logged, while other methods are not. I call everyday on my way home from work, so pick whatever time is more convenient and call. This is not a political statement, just a statement of how to get what you as a constituent want conveyed to your representative and Senators. Its activism, which now more than ever is needed. There are sites that'll make this super easy too, https://www.5calls.org will do almost all the work for you. Especially now that the football season is almost over, I know plenty of people are looking for a good new way to scream at public figures about how you could do their job better, substitute your local representative for your preferred coach or coordinator and go to town.

I dunno about 10 of them, the ones I could still probably play and enjoy are Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 and Team Fortress 2. I sunk a bunch of hours into World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12, but don't have it in me to try any of them again. I just don't got time for this stuff any more, I need something I can play for 30 minutes before bed. Edit: reread your list, should've included Xcom and Diablo 2 as still being fun.

BlindSite posted:Brunch is cool as hell if you're not driving. You can drink champagne and orange juice and eat your body weight in bacon and eggs. Then you have a nice buzz on that you can keep going with a couple of gentle arvo beers. The last time I went hiking in Australia I nearly stepped on a snake that was hanging out under some leaves, and by my napkin calculation of the number of venomous snakes down there it's a 97% chance the snake was deadly and about to kill me. Also huntsman spiders might not be deadly, but apparently they can jump when provoked, and a spider 6" in diameter flying toward you is super not cool. It'd be a really awesome country if it wasn't for the constant pants-making GBS threads terror of everything trying to kill you.

5 RING SHRIMP posted:So HUD loan = way lower down payment and in return you pay insurance on it? I've no idea if this is different because I'm bad and dumb at finance, but we got an FHA loan which was amazing, instead of the usual 10-20% down payment we only had to put down 3.5%, and got an interest rate of 3.75% as well. The insurance in question does drive the mortgage payment up by an appreciable amount, but that's why my other piece of advice is to marry up.

5 RING SHRIMP posted:Thanks for the house talk boys it's actually really appreciated. Just a weird time because I'm thinking about getting out of Boston for the summer/winter of 17-18 and heading back out west, maybe to Oregon. But also currently working for our family business which is by far my best chance as far as long term things go financially at least. Tiny violin and all that but just gotta decide what to do and at a poo poo or get off the pot time. Portland's where we just bought our place last summer, prices are stupid expensive and certainly going up if you want to live anywhere cool/within 20 minutes of downtown, but if you don't mind outlying areas it's doable. We got an awesome place that's on the outskirts of town, but 5 minutes from the light rail, so my wife's commute to downtown winds up being about 45 minutes, which given our traffic situation and the distance to our home is quite reasonable.

Lift weights three times a week, used to also do sprint training once a week but the knee injury put running on hold until a couple weeks ago. Doesn't change that every so often I'll go through a phase where I wake up at roughly 3 am and be instantly wide awake, regardless of exhaustion. Drugs don't seem to do a whole lot about it, but weirdly audiobooks do, I'll just plug in headphones, throw on something boring, and it usually knocks me out within 20 minutes.

weird Asian candy posted:It really does. It's boring as gently caress, it hurts my knees, calves and hamstrings cramp, long runs make my stomach ache to the point where I think I'm going to puke...loving gently caress running! Try trail running maybe? I hate road stuff, but finding a nice nature area, or at the least a big park, makes it way more fun for me. The tricky part was finding a decent shoe, since I like the barefoot style ultra-lightweight running shoes (though not the finger toes, seriously gently caress people who wear them), but it needs a strong enough sole that the dirt path won't hurt you.

Y'all just need to find the right strain for different situations. There are a few high CBD low THC Sativas I like a lot for remaining cognitively functional while physically relaxed, which make for a productive time whether it be washing dishes or working out, very different from a high THC Indica which knocks me the gently caress out while making my way through MST3K's back library. Edit: drat you autocorrect

a neat cape posted:Like, seriously. How do you smoke weed and not fall asleep instantly. Have I smoked indica weed every single time or what It depends on a huge number of factors, indica, sativa, and hybrids are the major differentiations, but even amongst them there's huge variation on levels of cannabinoids (CBD and THC being the most often cited), they can impact everyone differently, and that's not even getting into how psychoactive substances can have radically different physical effect depending on setting, mood, etc. It's been my experience that some supposedly anti-anxiety strains trigger my anxiety like crazy, while others work wonders, so it's hugely subjective, and even reviews on Leafly or wherever won't be the end-all in describing effects. Ultimately it can take some tinkering to figure out what does what for you, but that's all assuming you want to put any time and effort into it, which is more than most people care to. tldr: just smoke some weed and relax, or don't, whatever floats your boat

swickles posted:What is really interesting (to me at least) is that since the legalization or widespread medicinal use, many growers are experimenting to create strands that target specific symptoms. On chemo and need something that will increase your appetite and reduce your nausea? Then you might want a different strain than someone who has insomnia or chronic pain. Marijuana has been in a literal catch 22, its schedule one which means it has no medical value and cannot be researched. In order to make it Schedule 2 (like cocaine) you have to provide some evidence of its medical necessity, but you can't do that because its schedule 1! Hell, I love it too, it's nice to prove that my dicking around isn't entirely confirmation bias or based solely on the ramblings of whatever hippies I bump into at the local head shop/dispensary. I'm by no means an expert on this, I don't have nearly the palate nor tolerance (or free time for that matter) that others do for experimenting, but in my limited experience I've been able to find some strains that work better for me than others on obtaining different effects, be it the aforementioned anxiety management, sleep aid, or recreational relaxation.

Thinking of buying season tickets to the local FCS team, they're usually not very good, but at $300 per seat per season to get into the first 20 rows at the 30 yard line (of which $160 is tax deductible) it's still really tempting.
