This is unquestionably a good thing. But it’s also kind of weird that it’s Brasil of all places in on this, since the inequality there between the super wealthy and the folks living in the favelas is just an accepted part of life…kind of like the caste system in India.

I’m not saying that that’s a good thing. I’m just saying that I wouldn’t imagine the Brasilian authorities would actually give a shit considering the state of their own inequality and how it’s just kind of taken as a “reality of life” down there.

Criminally underrated performance in a critically underrated film.

Only on my good days. On my bad days I’m actually quite the asshole, to be honest.

kinda just juvenile and the dialog pretentious

You literally just described Kevin Smith…

Oh and “A tale they won’t believe” by captain tractor for man turning to cannibalism to survive

Holy shit. Never expected to find another person who has heard of Captain Tractor on Lemmy of all places. They have a long history with me and my college years (late nineties, early 2000s)

100%. I always thought I was alone in thinking it.

• 38 years old - The Tragically Hip
• Tweeter and the Monkey Man (Travelling Wilburys original or The Headstones cover of it)

Arguably more famous as the host of the Crystal Maze than as a voice in Phineas and Ferb. But okay.

He was also Mr. Hand in Dark City.

It’s almost as though actors play multiple roles in their lifetime.

• Converter Now: An all-in-one convert everything to everything app.
• Light Meter: Calculate light levels and color temps for photography and videography.
• Stellarium: Honestly don’t know how “well known” it might be. But it’s fun to point at stars and planets.

Very much so. I wish there was more in that world. The lore was really interesting to me. It’s not often you get a story set on Mars that actually has something unique about it.

Air Fryer. You can find basic models for under 100.

There’s a lower budget game by Spiders called Technomancer that came out in 2016. It came up in my XBox game pass, so I played it before I read any reviews on it, and I honestly enjoyed the hell out of it.

I didn’t find the combat stilted. It felt quite fun to work between three different fighting styles. The storyline was interesting and (to me anyway) original. And the Universe was pretty fun to play around in.

Just finishing about a new playthrough of Andromeda and I think it’s larger problem is that the good content doesn’t open up until a third of the way through the game. For the first third, you have very little to do except follow the Kett and the Angara storyline, and those are the absolute worst parts of the game.

It doesn’t actually get good until it opens up and you’re dealing with Outlaws, Collective, internal politics of the Nexus, the Krogan rebellion, etc… and your (admittedly pretty lame) companion quests. But at least it’s something more than just two new species that aren’t nearly as fleshed out or complete as what already existed.

By the time the game opens up and you can do more than just the main quest, you’re already friggin bored.

The Rock. I’ll be taking no further questions.

I’ve never bought into a single one of his performances. He always seems like he’s ‘acting’, and never really embodies the characters or reacts ‘in the moment’. It’s all a poor imitation of what he has seen other actors do.

Yes! exactly. You just summed up my thinking better than I could.

Leonardo DiCaprio.

Always hated him. Always called him a bad actor whose idea of acting amounts to throwing on a fake accent and literally nothing else to build his characters; no mannerisms, no method, no changing his body or his face. He’s just Leonardo DiCaprio with an accent every…single…time.

Before The Revenant, when everyone was complaining about him being “snubbed” by the oscars, I always thought “no…he is legitimately fucking terrible…especially when he was younger” (ie. Romeo and Juliet, Titanic, Gangs of New York years). And I thought I was taking crazy pills since everyone else seemed to adore him because of Titanic.

One of the best. But messy as heck to eat.

Whether it’s a roast pig, or a burger, or a pizza, there’s a reason pineapple is always brought up.

Controversial or not, the concept of something being both savory and sweet at the same time is popular (and frankly…delicious) Heck, it’s the whole reason Chocolate Covered Peanuts exist.

Pineapple is easily the best for that kind of combination. Apple comes in a close second (hence having an apple butter pork tenderloin, or apple sauce with pork chops, etc…

Why pineapple gets singled out and derided over every other fruit that does the same thing is just weird.

Would it not be “une chat”?

I thought French indefinite articles were gendered, like other romance languages like Portuguese and Spanish.

But it’s been roughly 35 years since I dropped highschool french…

Shadowrun on the Sega Genesis. It led me to my favorite genre of…well…anything… It was my introduction to Cyberpunk, essentially. And in a lot of different ways, it’s factored into most of hobbies (writing, painting, etc…)
