Every New Year's my mom likes to tell me not to eat anything on the day like chicken that scratches backwards, because you're supposed to move forward into the new year or whatever. Is eating leftovers on New Year's Day also bad luck?

General Dog posted:I can’t remember, did the Matrix come out before or after Columbine? Watched Matrix 1 a few days ago and asked myself the same question during it lol. Movie's still pretty dang good though, lots of really good late 90s/early 00s action movie music.

General Dog posted:Antivax has had a bit of a foothold in California for a while hasn’t it? Like dating back well before Covid. Seems like there’s a bit of horseshoe theory at play when it comes to vaccines and GMOs. Yeah I think it's been able to gain the foothold in the public discourse that is has in part because it has that sort of "bipartisan" support. If it was just weird hippies or weirder libertarian types it could be dismissed a lot more easily.

Kalli posted:Of all the images in all the movies he's done, the photo chooser chose this one from Imperium Don't forget the play where he did full frontal nudity. My wife was watching the 20-year Harry Potter movies reunion or whatever on HBO Max yesterday and it was cute enough. Also any time JK Rowling was on screen they threw up a big "hey we filmed this interview in 2019 before she had completely shown her rear end, don't worry guys" graphic lol

^^Big same, I was profoundly uncomfortable for basically the entire movie. I have tomorrow off in observance of New Year's Day but my wife doesn't, time for the "just sit around and play video games" day I've been craving all break. Not that it hasn't been enjoyable without such a day! LeeMajors posted:I just finished Don't Look Up and while there's a lot of hate, I think it's a really entertaining watch and I enjoyed it more than just about any other apocalypse movie out there. I can't remember if I posted this in last year's thread but I'm having a hard time separating my thoughts on the movie from my thoughts on social/political satire in the present day in general. There's stuff in there to like and appreciate but man it felt like a really straight putt all throughout. But among people I've talked to I seem to be in the minority there so maybe I am just brain-poisoned.

TITTIEKISSER69 posted:Regular or Extended Editions? HBO Max has both the regulars and extendeds for streaming. The missus and I chipped away at them all last week, I still love those movies but for the most part they were right to keep the extended scenes out of the theatrical release. And yes I have that same version of Trivial Pursuit and I can't get anyone to play it with me either lol. I think I went against a couple of my family members once and absolutely rolled them, which is probably why

Came back to the office today and had an email from HR saying "hey sign this piece of paper saying you won't leave in the next three months and we'll give you an extra bonus on top of what you were already getting", surely it has nothing to do with this trend.

LeeMajors posted:I have covid lol RIP. Just kidding I was fine after a week other than sometimes getting light-headed when I run, more than a month later so I believe in you! Was it a home testing kit or did you go in somewhere to get tested? My wife and my dad both had positive home tests in the last couple of weeks that were contradicted by in-clinic tests taken shortly after.

Joey Freshwater posted:I will absolutely not use the Pact that has traps/fire give 400% damage though A few of the modifiers are free rolls or free rolls with certain weapons, but never ever take the Trap modifier. The last area will wreck you, and if it doesn't then one of the end-run boss's attacks counts as a trap and will wreck (the jars that turn into spooky hands when they break)

FizFashizzle posted:going ahead and cancelling those tickets to thailand i got for feb I told you to PM me for the inside scoop on Thailand! But yeah they're shutting down in a big way and my wife is freaking out because her mom, if not both of her parents, were supposed to come to the US at the end of February to help out when the baby gets here in March and welp. She hasn't seen them in three years now, we had plans to go in April 2020 and you can guess what happened to those.

Did a lot for women's rights and for female representation in the legal/judiciary system, then jeopardized all of it out of hubris. Also remember back in October when Katie Couric admitted to editing an interview with RBG to make her appear less racist

If I ever run for any elected position I will definitely be doing a thorough review of any and all public-facing social media, up to and including a total wipe if necessary. And even then I'll wait a year for Facebook to take that poo poo off of their servers for good. At least with my SA account I had mostly learned about good online etiquette before I registered here because I was deathly afraid of getting banned and being out the tenbux lmao

Not my first PC game but I remember my family's Windows 98 machine coming with a dope pack of puzzle games, the name of which entirely escapes me right now. I think we got a pretty hefty software bundle with it too, including bangers like the first Age of Empires and The Neverhood.

swickles posted:Myst. I wonder how that game holds up. It's good OP. Pretty short now but I feel like that game is vastly underrated in the pantheon of ~influential video games~. Also the entire thing was programmed in Hypercard, which was basically early Powerpoint. Those same dudes got back together a few years ago and put out a game called Obduction, which has a really similar feeling. Played part of it and liked it but got pulled away by other stuff before finishing it.

Pron on VHS posted:Ornery, thank you for checking in. We are doing okay, riding it out in the house and hoping my wife can land a job by summer. Her citizenship interview is coming next week which will help out a lot if she passes. This civics exam has some tough questions, like knowing who the authors of the Federalist papers are. lol really If I remember correctly from when my wife got her citizenship they pick three questions at random from a set of 50, and most of them are total meatballs. I remember she had some sort of cheat sheet recording that she found on YouTube or downloaded that helped her memorize the answers, I'll ask her if she still remembers it.

Blowjob Overtime posted:Having my adult mind put into a 6 year old body and starting elementary school sounds like a Black Mirror level of cosmic torture I could not imagine. Just passing the time at a desk listening to a teacher talk about long division, interacting with all the other kids with an adult brain for a full day for five school days a week. It's this OP. Gimme that 10 mil now and let me keep rolling with the life I enjoy. There's maybe one (in)decision in my life where I'd be interested in seeing the counterfactual version of it, but I'm good right where I am. Maybe ask me again in six months when my future baby is making GBS threads all over me while I try to change his diaper on two hours of sleep

Spoeank posted:There's also this, which might change some things If enough Trump voters were dying to make a dent in the national voterbase, Trump probably wouldn't be the only person in the GOP calling on people to get vaccinated. Honestly for as fun as it is to speculate about US politics on the internet, there's too many different forces at play to say anything for certain right now. For every conversation about GOP voter die-off, you have GOP state legislatures trying to make it illegal to vote Dem or whatever. The only certainty is that it's going to be a complete shitshow.
