What a weird comparison

Who here actually wants one in their neighborhood? They put one up in mine and we’ve had constant break ins since. Maybe write to your city councilor and nominate your neighborhood for one

Does he have learning disabilities? How does someone with so much motivation not learn to read

As opposed to every other movie that is released to make… Money

Live action? I really liked the animated movies and how the characters actually aged. The main character started as a kid and by the end he was a bearded dad

Yeah I’ve thought of buying a mini computer just to hang on the wall behind my tv and use as a server

I get Amazon Prime free, aside from that I have Disney plus and Netflix. Disney is heavily used by the kids, Netflix I use mostly

I hate Plex because it requires my computer to stay on at all times for it to work and I use a laptop

I would but it doesn’t have the ease of Netflix etc so for the kids and wife it doesn’t work

Recently watched Shogun, it was excellent.

Investigation alien. Good but a bit frustrating at times

American nightmare, will make you hate the police even more.

Monsters, the Menendez series.

The Godfather Coda, a recut version of godfather 3 with a better ending and pacing

Rewatch the extended Lord of the rings trilogy

Sucks but it’s an issue that will never be resolved, and his voice will be used against his will going forward. Also notice that YouTube videos have the John Walsh voice as well, feels like I’m watching America’s most wanted

I agree with this article, but raising a son I think there’s also something to be said for raising a boy in an environment that tells him he’s dangerous, a potential rapist, an abuser, and blames him for all the ills men have committed on women through history. I can see how that can make a boy become resentful and shoot to the opposite.

Men are also hyper aware of how they’re seen and we have to cross the street to not be perceived as following someone or being a creep. We have to change subway cars when we’re the only one there with women. Or we have to constantly reassure people we’re not pro rape or anti women. It gets very tiring having to prove to strangers every day that you’re not a wild animal who is gonna kill you. Being a big guy, it sucks being looked at as a threat 24/7.

What’s wild is us humans are stripped and spotted, like cows, but you can only see it in ultraviolet.

They’re called Blaschko’s lines and they’re invisible to our eyes.

I’m a guy and my leg hair drives me crazy sometimes. I sometimes get fixated on the feeling of the blanket rubbing on it and it drives me crazy. It also gets randomly sensitive to pull on or touch, I dunno if that happens to anyone else. And when it’s dry it makes my legs itch

He was half Roman half Phoenician which was a Semitic people, so problems swarthy and tanned. There was one called Philip the Arab, who was born in an Arab province, but I don’t think his ethnicity is known. Trajan was an earlier Emperor so the fact that he was a Spaniard provincial and not Italian was a bit of a scandal at the time.

Ex slaves, sons of slaves and other ethnic peoples could climb the ranks of Roman society and get pretty rich and respected in their own right. But there was always a ceiling for those seen as outsiders, Even in the military.

I wish I could get a VR game where I play with my control as normal, but just use the VR headset to look around.

I can attest to this. My kids and nieces/nephews are all reaching high school and they are so chill compared to my generation. They’re not interested in booze, sex, drugs or being out all night. They’re happy at home gaming together online or coding or something. It’s good really, we were not risk averse enough

The first movie was historical fiction (if anything they toned down Commodus and his brutality in the movie) but once you do something like make the Emperor black, now it’s complete fiction. And it does matter, otherwise we wouldn’t have issues with white actors playing roles that should go to people of color.

It’s too jarring to my historian heart I think. Like a white as fuck John Wayne playing Genghis Khan

My wife always brings it up. He’s one of those people who just does his own thing and doesn’t really care about anyone else’s plans or preferences, so that’s another reason I stopped going out with them. It could be a group of 10 and he wants Indian food but everyone else wants Mexican, so he compromises by having us all go to the Indian place… Where he can order his food in an Indian accent to the Indian waiter
