Galaxy Quest is one of my fave films and and my favourite fact about it is is that Patrick Stewart expected it to be poo poo when he went in to the cinema but loved it

I think my head would explode. Because I would put a sawn-off shotgun into my mouth and pull the trigger. Okay, not really, but I would be beyond angry. 50/50 chance of me spontaneously combusting from rage. Could be an interesting emptyquote. E: catax

Bacon Terrorist posted:They should make it so you can only watch retro porn in your formative years not the hypersexual formulaic HD brutality that seems to be pumped out on the regular now. Never saw Ron Jeremy slapping women about. Can we gameify this? Build up points by wanking to wholesome porn and unlock ever increasingly niche kinks

Hallucinogenic Toreador posted:https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51447761 It's getting proper scary. Apparently a vaccine could take as long as a year, even 6 months would be considered a miracle. It's hard to imagine the virus not infecting most of the world's population by then. It's starting to feel unavoidable

ThomasPaine posted:Am I mistaken or is coronavirus not actually that deadly unless you're sick or old or young? I thought the issue was a morbidity thing rather than a mortality one? I'm fairly unconcerned. Maybe I should be?? I got bad news quote:Many of those who contract coronavirus will experience only mild symptoms, and most people are expected to make a full recovery.

Ok good. It'll probably shake out no worse than a seasonal flu then. To be honest i never even paid attention to swine flu and that killed a fuckload of people, so I'm probably only concerned because I'm watching it

Lord Ludikrous posted:which along with acronyms of 6 or more characters rather defeats the point of acronyms in the first place. Still a handy shortcut, but at that length you might as well ditch the acronym and coin a neologism. I call this principle MAWDTAACAN, or mordacan for linguistic convenience.

Communities like to develop their own lingo though, however stupid, because it helps foster that sense of community - though it can also make the community insular and inaccessible to outsiders who don't spend ages lurking This thread is not without its pointless acronyms (DCFADP)

Guavanaut posted:Not content with illegal deportations to states where people may at least have a claim to live, or making people stateless in extreme circumstances (like the Sun doesn't like them), the UK is just making people on holiday stateless now. The Home Office is just the absolute worst.

Gyro Zeppeli posted:I'd honestly like to be a chambermaid or a janitor. Cleaning is already my mental coping mechanism, so getting paid to do it would just be a bonus. There are times i miss having a job like this, like when i worked retail or managed a warehouse, and just did routine work. The job i have now is very much of the "creative thinking" kind, which is great when I'm in the mood for it, but if I'm not (and I'm not at the moment), i find myself unable to do the work and it fills me with anxiety. I get paid a *lot* for my current role so i can't complain too much, but if there was a routine job going in my company and it paid less I'd be very very tempted. The thought of switching companies though is terrifying, so I feel a bit limited by what becomes available here
