That’s why I ask if they want the full in depth explanation or the short one. Well it happened once during Dune so far, she asked for the full one. I can’t even recall the question but she thought it made more sense after at least, maybe to do with blade fighting and shields, they really hammer it in the novels. Though to be fair any Dune explanation sounds better from the books than either movie, okay I haven’t seen the last half of Lynch’s Dune in decades but the first half didn’t explain things well so I don’t expect the last half to be better from my fuzzy memory.

Dune may be a bit of a special case compared to the franchises listed too.

I bet another big reason is that he can hold rallies and get his narcissistic high. Has to be awesome for a narcissist to hold events where people are there just to hear him ramble.

If you can’t beat 'em, swallow them.

I misread, I thought they said anyone listening while on transit not just anyone period. Makes more sense now.

Not who you replied to but I’m sure you don’t blast music or other audio on transit when you need the break.

Holy crap I had no idea it was an actual anniversary! I just think in pop culture bits (memes). Neat. I so remember the first time watching it in the early teens, Tarantino can sure write fun random dialogue also sure was fun seeing Travolta be awesome again at the time after the baby movies. Not that I didn’t enjoy Look Who’s Talking,at the time, but who remembers those after Pulp Fiction for Travolta?

remembers Pulp Fiction scene least that’s what comfortable silence makes me think of, and yes I agree, it’s nice when a couple people can sit down and not feel like they have to say anything.

Not saying wrong but that movie came out in '99, so I think a retro of the 90s would be closer to mid to early 90s since there’s that bleed over to the early '00 decade. Of course I’m older so maybe that part would be included, just more considered it 00s era.

Since I didn’t comment otherwise I’ll mention Xtreme sports, frosted hair colours, and some neon bleed over (though not cyberpunk levels) from the 80s for a 90s retro.

There was a provincial bill in BC, Canada to stop the change that passed but it had no date to take effect since they wanted to sync with west coast states. It’s like enough people want to change but no one will be the first one so it’s not too awkward.

I thought he was playing a PlayStation game on a less known type of controller. Googled it, apparently was an early version of the game Wipeout, unsure if it was an arcade game. Kinda makes sense for the hackers to have an early version.

Cause as DPS it’s harder to find a group.

You realize it only mentions k-12 in the article and bill right? So while they are schools I can’t find mention of them in this act. Can you please show where it says Universites are included? It does not in the article or the link below.

According to the article, quoted.

Access zones are in place at K-12 schools, and police can arrest or issue tickets to anyone found impeding access, disrupting or interfering with educational activities, or attempting to intimidate an individual within 20 metres (66 feet) of school property,” the province said in a release. Unquoted now…

What part of that is bad? Nothing says people can’t protest but no one should interfere with kid’s education. Doesn’t say people can’t protest, but they can’t disrupt people who go in there is all which seems fair.

Edit: forgot to say I can be a bit dense and not realize things so if I’m missing a glaring fact or angle of this please do inform me.

Tom Hanks in an 80s comedy (came out in 90 close enough) is usually worth it, I only watched it once a number of years ago. It wasn’t overly memorable but I recall enjoying it well enough. There was probably jokes I wasn’t paying attention enough to notice. However when you add Meg Ryan with Hanks you can’t really go wrong.

Most of this isn’t directly related to the comment but it got me typing.

I do like the bit where he said he put the rejection letters on a nail, and it was pretty full, think this was his teen years, probably submitting to pulp magazines. It didn’t seem like any time in his life wasn’t filled with wanting to write, and he kept at it (obviously heh) and used the rejections as motivation to improve. He is a pretty good narrator as well, I enjoyed listening to Needful Things read by him, and have listened to On Writing a few times now.

That man can spin a good yarn, his stories have been a part of my life since I was probably too young to be reading them(not to mention tv and film adaptations) but I was reading at least. Even remember one time getting extra credit for the summer reading program cause I read The Eyes of the Dragon since it was much longer than most kids reading material. I just read whatever and a lot at the time, since no Internet back then.

I’m not sure I’ve heard that one, very similar and awesome. I should read some of him, yes I know very famous just something I haven’t got around to doing.

I do agree but if you wanted to make to case for ‘God’ they could have made sure some of their creatures evolved to understand his work, assuming they did it in a logical way. I’m not a person with faith but just try and think a way is possible, though usually trying to understand weird comic and media universe type actions.

We are the way for a universe to understand itself (paraphrased from Sagan). Though his writing is much more interesting than this comment. I just think there’s room for belief if it works for people, but not for the strict literal interpretations that many seem to believe.

I started that like 10 years ago, unfortunately I have a funky shaped head so it doesn’t look as good as it may on others but I do enjoy the maintenance on it. I can definitely tell these days it won’t grow back like it used to (much thinner on the top, edging back on the top sides). However being able to use a hair trimmer once a week myself is cheap, and less things to do while getting ready in the morning.

I can understand since society seems to put value on hair but not worrying about it (some confidence) goes a long way. I barely think about it nowadays.

How do you find which one you want with 150 open? Genuinely curious is all, I’m old and mostly use PC and can type quick enough to find what I want if I know which site (wikis for games and such). If I had to scroll through 150 tabs I’d spend half the time looking through a list so wonder how it helps to have that many open. Or maybe I just don’t read fast enough to scroll well.

You all just escaped death, running around in dangerous areas you could die (and be brought back to life heh) at any second. Yeah that group is getting frisky if possible, then see where things go later, if you both make it. I haven’t made it to act 3 myself so wasn’t even aware of those romance options got fleshed out.
