some_guy,

I guess you didn’t watch a lot of mainstream movies on HBO in the 90s. They were gratuitous at the time.

some_guy,

When you have a boring, unironic, semi-artistic sex scene in a movie that’s not otherwise about sex, it’s just a distraction.

I don’t disagree. But I do see room to expand the definition.

Recently, I’ve been introducing my partner to The Sopranos for the first time (we’re in s3). I think there are legitimate depictions of sex in the series. They only appear briefly to help illustrate what types of people the characters are. They’re quick and out of the way. Like, oh, that guy’s fucking her, now let’s move on to the dialog that happens after. It’s when we see that these are characters who have sex as opposed to seeing the sex that makes the difference, imo.

some_guy,

I grew up during the time when sex scenes on HBO and Cinemax were the closest thing to porn on tv. I can’t think of a worse sex scene than The Specialist, with Sly Stallone. It was silly and unnecessary. I even found it weird as a teen. That says a lot. There were many scenes like this in many films.

You can include sex without dramatizing / showcasing it. I don’t blame young people for finding these old tropes to be a digression. See my other comment about sex in The Sopranos to confirm that I’m not anti-sex in media.

some_guy,

It’s far lamer to shoehorn in a long sex scene that doesn’t make sense. See sex in Sopranos, as I mentioned. It’s not overdone. It happens and we move on.

some_guy,

I love steamed (not boiled) asparagus. Though for most of my life, vegetables were just a vehicle for butter and salt. I’ve pulled way back on how much I use in recent years.

My buddy makes the most delicious grilled asparagus. He’s a real pro and it’s a treat to bbq with him.

some_guy,

I’m doing my part. soldiers laugh

some_guy,

He already sat in the highest seat. He’d never lower himself to anything below that. To my knowledge, no former-president has ever taken a lower seat in government. Many still find seats of power, but outside the government, I think.

some_guy,

TIL

some_guy,

I thought of the limited series with Paul Giamatti on HBO when I hesitated on whether anyone had taken a lower office after being the pres. Not knowledgeable enough to say for sure when I posted. Insomnia now, so I’ll keep this in mind for when I’m learning more. Thanks!

some_guy,

There wouldn’t even be sheets if it was me. Also, lose the gun.

some_guy,

Well, I rarely downvote, but disinformation gets it every time. Thanks for clearing that up.

some_guy,

I have gradually turned myself into a more compassionate person by deliberately working on managing my emotions. I’m a lot less angry and far more open minded than me of ten years ago. There’s hope if you really want it.

some_guy,

I’m gonna hold my breath and live forever.

some_guy,

I saw a ton of well-behaved pups on a hiking trail this morning. Of those that were off-leash, all were respectful of strangers. Not one misbehaved. Some were on leashes. I assume that some of those could be off-leash without incident. Not one dog behaved poorly.

This is not to say that there aren’t a ton of dumbasses who raise their dogs to have no boundaries. Just shining a light on a bunch of responsible dog-people who were doing a great job.

some_guy,

Always do both. Ideally have three copies of your data at all times. For the most important stuff, I also sent a drive to a family member in a different part of the county in case of natural disaster.

some_guy,

I wanna suck your dick, sir.

some_guy,

I’ve often stated that Past-Me is always hassling Present-Me with reminders of things I’m supposed to do. That asshole just loves setting a ton of notifications to fire throughout the day, making me feel bad for being a lazy procrastinator.

some_guy,

This is the most-true meme of the year.

some_guy,

Half the reason I chuckled so hard. Tiny, new kitten. Old laptop from 2006. Great combo.

some_guy,

It’s amazing to me how often people harm themselves by supporting their enemies. I

some_guy,

Taught me how to make eggs-benedict, so I dunno what you’re talking about. 1 part eggs for every 2 parts gunpowder. Spicy.

some_guy,

I doubt that’s true, but it’s the type of thing that I wouldn’t test. It could certainly come up in a future case, though.

I bought mine second-hand with cash, from a classmate. Dunno what ever happened to it. Read that a lot of the info was deliberately more dangerous to cause harm to would-be radicals. That’s probably also bullshit. More likely the author just made mistakes.

some_guy,

Made me actually lol on a sidewalk.

some_guy,

I’ve never been a big fan of smores, but this is pretty horny and I like it.
