All good if you liked it.
I didn’t like the look of the characters much in cgi(though of course Snowy has to be to make it work on most levels), found some of the action scenes unenjoyably overwrought like the early action chase scene downhill that just refuses to end like a Bond opener but without at least the reality of the stunts or explosions, I also hated the airplane scene with Haddock and overall his treatment being minimized to comic relief.
Stop twisting the knife, God. Tintin was so crushing, like JarJar for Lucas.
And in just a few years, for me with my on-chip gpu needs and AMDs huge improvements around the same time, shopping for a processor went from having to read about Intel and AMD and wonder who I should choose for my next small laptop to not even considering anything with an Intel chip set. Thankfully this is also when AMD also became a standard offering at many OEM laptop makers (10 years prior you maybe had a few laptops in the entire market with an AMD option).
Intel truly squandered so much market dominance–despite it being clear to a layman where markets and the world was going-- it’s breathtaking. The fact they missed both mobile phone chip explosion and GPUs despite having been producers of both at some level is wild. The fact they managed, separately, to lose an enormous amount of trust and reputation points with their customers is a testament to why their only new investor is someone as stupid and corrupt as Trump.
The amount of brutally obvious “beauty app” filters people put on teams pictures and whatnot…it’s the 2020 version of Glamour Shots in the US. Like dude/dudette/whatever, you look SO much better no matter what you think without digital fucking plumped lips or exaggerated fake chin lines and only-exists-in-1st-gen-terminators-smooth skin.
Love yourself people.
What’s your favorite food?
Yes.
It’s min-maxing. They already commit to the time for exercise so if they could be productive with it somehow why not? “Productive” here more of a 2 seconds of Internet fame than “this has general application”, but just like a daily commute being limited mostly to music/podcast/phone calls as far as being “productive”, if someone introduced the ability to prep dinner while commuting many people would take them up on it.
It might not be the traditional or most perfect place or time to make “x” but if it buys you time elsewhere and there aren’t other consequences or side effectd, well everyone is pretty maxed out in the world and doesn’t have time.

Got room for any more on your ship?
Weak and wriggling, just how capitalists want them.
Related: Marjoe, is a 1970s Oscar winner for best documentary about a child preacher, Baptist preaching, the money involved in the preaching/god industry, and to a degree clearly exposed the raw core of manipulation inherent. It’s a documentary so doesn’t come straight out and say it, so it could be interpreted differently perhaps by a strong religious conservative. It’s a fantastic exposé.
Honestly some of the Michael moore movies; Roger and me might hit different for some of those folks now that they’re suffering the continued effects of wealth concentration that is so flagrantly and unashamedly happening. Sicko will probaby hit many folks across the aisle as the issue is universal. Bowling for Columbine might be interesting depending on if they are a gun nut.
The atomic cafe is in my top 5 movies of any genre. It’s not just about arms proliferation, it pulls together a ton of cultural pieces and shows how naive, propagandized, and horrible a nascent fascist nation began post WWII.
TBH, and after reading some of the comments it seems to line up with this how Op post is “duh”, and low effort and thinking about it more makes me wonder if this is botception and that’s why it’s all ringing weird bells and bothering me? The post feels like a vague dissemination of generic information (read bot/LLM) linking a wikipedia article that reads like someone non-human smashed it together (read bot/LLM). I’ll leave what I started as a response before I arrived at this post. _-------------------------
I think this is the worst Wikipedia I’ve ever read and as a 30(?) year user that has maybe never time to criticize a wikipedia page (blatant bias or trolling aren’t worth the effort), it’s saying something.
It doesn’t list obvious things like sports or any other activity from bingo halls, board games that would probably be some of the most common activities in the world.
Their concept of the phrase seems almost like an opinion that isn’t really applied at anytjing more than an adolescent knowledge of a subject without any source material.
The one part of their writeup I (subjectively) had heard (alcohol being described as an social lubricant) was described as “negatively viewed” though that seems like a limited claim/opinion. Which feels weird and information without any synthesis.
He is still around. He lit, carried and shared the light of kindness, humanity, patience, understanding with many millions of people. The fact you posted this shows what he embodied is still here and, just like Obiwan commented, some are even more powerful after they have passed.
The library of Alexandria, burns again.
Covers? Luxury.
When we was growing up it was a few moldy newspapers stuffed into a garbage bag.

Everyone’s body is different but try lighter and more frequent. 3x 20 minutes. You can always push faster, more frequent once you get past “it always feels like I’m dying”, but at this point you’re trying to convince your body, “this will be a regular thing, I need to be able to do this”.
Do 3x 20 and add in walks on off days. Anything to overall make your body raise its “floor” for cardio.
Taking days off is when your body immediately tells your lungs and heart “see I knew he was kidding!”
You can go from marathon shape to having running be a struggle at old levels with 4 weeks of inactivity. Most people go faaaar longer than that without exercising and think there is something wrong with or unique to them.
Our bodies want to save energy and not waste it burning calories to keep you in shape, so regularity trumps all. Go light, go often, and slowly increase pace, duration, frequency as it feels good. Your body will respond in time.
