Well I keep quitting and it hasn't been great for me lately.

"If we were able to craft an answer for him, what do you think it should be?"

  • Some intern, who clearly sees that there is no possible good answer to this question.

Love the list, I need to watch Coal Miner's Daughter. Just want to note that Amadeus is historical fiction. One of the greatest movies of all time, but it's not a biopic.

Erin Brochovich is also noted for its "inspiration" rather than attempt to tell the true story. Rudy (1993) is a personal favorite that is technically based on a true story but it isn't a true story.

Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007), The Aviator (2004), Malcolm X (1992), The Pride of the Yankees (1942), The Jesse Owens Story (1984).

I generally dislike music biopics. I guess I just don't care about the personal lives of musicians, or maybe because I know nothing is gonna happen beyond a hit song or drugs.

How many people is this expected to effect? I'm assuming like 1 or 2?

“We don’t want this car forcing its way through the entry, hurting other people,” CHP Sgt. Esteban Hernandez told the Los Angeles Times.

Does seem logical. They know who it is. There's no need to create a situation where she's full speed ramming a gate arm at the border.

Retroactive? So they can sue for something that already happened? That's completely insane.

He loves re-naming things because it grabs a headline and he doesn't even have to actually do anything.

They would need a 2/3rds majority to bypass needing the president's signature, which they clearly won't get. So even if it passes both the Senate and House somehow, it'll still never happen.

Seriously, kidnap him after his shift helping people, not during. Seems like common sense.

You're not measuring by what percentage of Trump stories are positive/negative, the only metric that matters to him.

 

I remember doing this at the Embassy Suits probably around 2002.

 

As I understand it, birth defects are like 99.999% of the time unhelpful. But that 0.0001% of the time the genetic freak is a huge advantage and that gets passed down in the gene pool and thus, over many many generations, evolution.

Alcohol, which is known to increase birth defects, should increase the speed at which that happens. Right? Like playing the lottery with more tickets.

 

Since we're using El Salvador like it's a new Gitmo. Like yes, it would still suck for the people from El Salvador.

But at least people from other countries would go back to their home country. Presumably to be treated far better than El Salvador.

I'll take it to the bank tomorrow. It's never been raided for quarters. About 6 inches across. Could be $30-$60 in my estimation.

Closest guess gets a reply.

EDIT: It was $79.85

$45 in quarters, $18.60 in dimes, $8.10 in nickles, and $8.15 in pennies.

 

Airfare $19.86 surely way below fuel cost. Who even came up with this system?

 

I was looking for info about the upcoming event. I got a guess about what might happen in the future. Cannot describe how useless this search result was.

Just changed my default search engine to DuckDuckGo. Can't be worse than this.

 

John Wick, Taken, The Equalizer. Too many to name. Saw a preview for The Amateur (2025) which is another one coming out soon. It seems like that's the ONLY justification for killing they can come up with.

Like this is the logic here: "Okay we need an action movie with lots of henchmen to kill, what evil thing can that bad guy have done in the 1st act so our hero is justified in killing tons of henchmen?" So the bad guy does some overtly evil thing at the start of the movie (often unrealistically evil). Then killing people is the rest of the movie. Revenge happens. The end.

I enjoy action movies, but I keep seeing the same revenge-killing movies that feel like copies of each other.
