I like that, even in-universe, in 1964, Bond’s first reaction to that name is “I must be dreaming”. So it’s not like the filmmakers weren’t aware of how absurd that name is. They just didn’t give a shit.
I make people upset just by using my eyes and brain, as such please be careful to ensure your tears do not get into your electronics, thank you

3·2 天前The Oblongs was fun.
Drawn Together was awful, but a trashy-yet-fascinating kind of awful, and definitely qualified as unhinged.
oh, and superjail, and squidbillies. 1000%, superjail and squidbillies, someone else should’ve mentioned these by now, I hate to this day that I can still remember them.
Shit, most of Adult Swim’s lineup was either syndicated fox series, anime, or completely fucking duck tits insane.
I’m supposed to be asleep?
Nice try, dweeb.
Lemmy, every 5 seconds:
guys are you aware the united states sucks
guys
guysI don’t think you’re aware
the US sucks
guys
listen
hey
the US sucks
did you know that?
guyssssss
like, yes, I get it, we suck, but also it’s exhausting being unable to emigrate anywhere and being constantly reminded of how much suck I get to endure for the rest of forever.
Yeah, my mother was able to earn a bachelor’s degree (iirc? either that or an associates), paying for it by working as a cashier at McDonalds.
The fucking eighties, man.
My anger as I approach my thirties, unable to afford college even when I was working full time (before I lost my job), can not be overstated.
I think this story gave me brain damage.
well, before antidepressants, I would’ve said “jerk off”
but now, errr… I dunno, torture people in video games?
the fact that any amount of my tax dollars will be going to a parade just for this cunt’s birthday makes me seethe with fury.
Yeah, but we have no useful way to channel the energy from nuclear fission into propulsion, so that’s a moot point if we’re talking in practical terms. At least, we don’t without irradiating everything. My point was not that combustion-based propellants are energy efficient, merely that it takes a lot of energy to escape gravity, and while theoretically nuclear propulsion would be more efficient, in practice, burning shit is really the best we can do without giving someone cancer every time we want to put something in orbit, because gravity is a fuck.
Au contraire, mon frere. “Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space.”
if you have enough mass moving quickly enough, someone’s gonna have a real bad day. Gravity is fantastic for getting a lot of mass moving very quickly, it’s why space missions slingshot around planets to get from A to B instead of burning propellant straight there. Even dropping tungsten rods from orbit can get you atom-bomb-sized explosions, and if you had any means of (even weakly) accelerating them before that, gravity would help further accelerate them.
That, and have you seen the amount of propellant required to overcome gravity? Compare that to the amount of fissile material you need to make a viable nuclear device. It’s peanuts. A (small) nuke might as well be a rounding error compared to the amount of fuel you need to overcome gravity and leave earths orbit, gravity is that much of a fuck.
just waiting for the end.
It’s the system working exactly as designed. “you, too, could have all this if you only worked hard enough. Now that you’ve spent 2-3 hours of your weekend off at the movies, get back to work, slave”
destroy your device by… having to reboot it. the horror! The pain! The financial loss of downtime!
you can’t make me
sleep is for the weak and the dead
3·23 天前him being a shitty human being is something his supporters like and admire, but even really terrible people prefer a leader that has some idea of what they’re going to do as a leader.
I, almost for certain, thought that (along with the rest of that debate) was the end of him at the time. Entire political careers have lived and died on sub-10-second sound bites, and there is no way to spin that to make him sound like he knows what he’s doing.
191·25 天前some people are breathtakingly stupid and mental illness is complicated, idk what to tell you fam
Yeah, but book Bond and movie Bond are two rather different Bonds. I think Timothy Dalton probably got closest to depicting the literary Bond onscreen, but in so many words: the books are a fair bit darker in tone than some of the movies, and secondly (something Dalton thankfully did not channel), they’re exceedingly racist. Yes, even more racist than You Only Live Twice let’s-make-Sean-Connery-Japanese racism. One chapter of Live and Let Die set in Harlem NY is titled, I shit you not, “[n-word] Heaven”.
