Brings back fond memories of moving into a house that still had a fuse box and discovering the one for the dryer was a screw.

Does it help to know that Michigan is also the wrong color on top of all of that? There are toes obscured by shoes on it:

Something disturbing about Hallmark movies

I was talking with a friend today about Hallmark movies because we all seem to have at least one grandma who loves them around this time of year, and we’re hashing out the tropes they all share because they’re so formulaic that you could probably boil it down to a mad libs prompt, and something dawned on me because of one...

pimento64,

These movies aren’t just any wish fulfillment, they’re meant to be a panacea that assures the viewer that she made the right choice in being a stay-at-home mom, and that she would have regretted pursuing her career.

I want a Hallmark movie where a high-powered executive comes back to his hometown, helps save the Christmas tree lighting ceremony, and decides to leave his career to be with his shortstack tomboy wife and be her himbo kept husband on her ranch.

People buried at 'mega' stone tombs in Spain were defleshed and their bones fractured after death (www.livescience.com)

Archaeologists in Spain have discovered evidence that ancient people defleshed and dismembered corpses around 6,000 years ago. But these aren’t clues to an ancient murder: Instead, the bone injuries are more likely related to funerary practices that occurred just after death....

Wow, neolithic Spain is just like my basement

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

pimento64,

Amazing, every word is wrong

This guy probably saw Nosferatu and thought “wow this is just every vampire movie, how unoriginal”

You’re welcome :^)

Would you rather the Dodgers’ owners just pocket that money instead? The issue is the amount of money going through the sport in general, not the amount that the actual players get. They should always be getting the majority of the revenue.

Cost of doing business. Publishers who can’t afford to literally just forget about the cost of running servers have no need to be in business.

pimento64,

You’re right, that’s why it costs money to play online multiplayer on PC

Oh wait

pimento64,

Not to be confused with 2011’s Silent Night, a reboot of the beloved classic Silent Night, Deadly Night. If you haven’t seen the original, just watch Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 instead, because it pads the runtime with a 30-minute cut of the first movie in flashbacks. Sadly, I don’t think this movie will have a scene where dudeman shoots a guy for taking out the trash, so I predict it will be a 1/10 at best. Thank you for reading my preview, I am taking no questions.

my way of speaking

Yeah that sounds about right, considering this word salad of a comment.

pimento64,

Bicycling requires strength and endurance.

So does cleaning a house, but that’s “women’s work”.

Is it that you’re in control of a heavier and more powerful machine?

That’s it. You didn’t get it at first because made the mistake of associating manliness with things like patience, strength, hard work, endurance both of toil and hardship; all things that do make up ideals of manliness to normal people. But you need to approach it from the perspective of a wastrel, a weak, foolish, and lazy person who demands the respect and deference of being manly without putting in the hard work—something he has avoided all his life. He might praise hard work in abstract, but he has no discipline for it and doesn’t respect those who actually do it, he just considers them beneath him. To such a person, the defining aspect of manliness and machismo is mastery, mastery over others and their wills, and since mastery through work is a waste of time to him, he turns to shortcuts.

From there, it’s not hard to see where the thought process goes. Since strength is to him based on control and mastery, he picks something that gives him more command over the road in a direct and in-your-face way. The man who drives a lifted Ram 2500 can confront you by running you the fuck over. By contrast, in his opinion, cyclists are entitled jackasses in miniscule booty shorts who can only confront you on the road by screaming “CRITICAL MASS! FUCKING CAGER!” and throwing sparkplugs at your windows. The difference in power dynamic is proof enough to our friend of who the “real man” is.

To take the mentality to its conclusion, the easiest way to gain mastery in general is through authority, and the easiest way to get that, even easier than joining a gang, is by becoming a cop.

pimento64,

So does the fact that it doesn’t line up with the chicken
