I’m almost sorry to be blunt, but…
Women don’t want to be chased. You’re a misogynist who has reduced women to “people to have sex with” in your own mind.
If you change that, you gain the possibility of actual connections, including intimacy, with them; if you don’t, you don’t. Either way it’s up to you if you want the status quo to continue or to improve.
That is actually a really interesting approach to moderation, huh.
Wait, not the other way round? One tale per 70-min episode?
(With the priest’s tale getting an initial 1.5hrs opening episode? 👀)
Hah… Fair 😄 Hope you’ll get the chance!
Interesting - this is the first time I have seem someone (implicitly) dislike Villeneuve’s version (though to be fair, I have not closely followed the discourse around it). DO you have additional grievances, beyond the actors?
For myself: Dan Simmons’ Hyperion Cantos. I know that I will never be in a situation to do as the question above suggests (nor that I would have the knowledge or skills required), but I am currently re-reading the books (Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, Rise of Endymion), and I can’t stop thinking about a big screen adaptation.
Or rather, Simmons’ writing is so vivid, so vibrant that you can’t help but visualize it in a cinematic way before your inner eye anyways. The alien, but still somewhat familiar environments, the gargantuan forces of nature and expansive backgrounds just as much as the more intimate set pieces, cities, secret meeting rooms, and so on. “Every Frame a Painting” is something I’ve heard said about some movies, and these books are the textual equivalent: “Every page cannot be helped but be turned into a Painting”. The Hyperion Cantos isn’t even my favorite book or anything the like; it’s just something that screams for an adaptation IMO, and a beautiful one at that.
I also think that the story is exceptionally well suited for either a limited series (Hyperion & Fall of Hyperion) or a movie (Endymion, Rise of Endymion). In fact, I am convinced that if this had been made into a series back in the early/mid 2010s, it could have had a genre- and generation-defining impact akin to (the early seasons of…) Game of Thrones. Today… I’m not sure a studio would spend the required amount of money to make this good.
(Also yes I made this post simply because I had nowhere else to put this comment.)
I have a small plastic freezer bag in my pocket, which I use turned inside-out to open the door.
My GF has severe (no, severe) OCD, and among all the rituals that are, objectively, pointless… This is the one that I wholeheartedly understand and agree with.
The comments here are awful. I am sorry for the abuse you are receiving.
I’m a staunch atheist myself, and even for some of the same reasons others are mentioning in their rage-comments. That being said, hating a person for their religious beliefs alone is baffling, and yes, makes you a bigot.
The exception I would make here is for situation and people where they, based on their religious beliefs hate you, and there’s nothing that can be done about it.I also would not call it bigoted to hate religious institutions for the discord and pain they inflict on the world.
But hating people because “well I was able to see through religion, so I am justified in hating everyone that did not and is still religious” is just such a disingenuous take. It denies the reality of indoctrination-like upbringings, of the differing educations people receive, and puts all religious people into a single “enemy” group.
I’m not US-American, as I assume many of these commenters are; where I live, the proportion of religious people is a lot lower, and the religiosity is… less pronounced, let’s say. It is much more difficult to find someone here who would, for example, go “Homosexuality is a sin according to the bible. Therefore I hate you.”; most religious people seem to have a differentiated opinion about these things, usually being more in line with “I believe there’s a God that loves us. The bible was written by fallible humans whose biases are present in the texts”.
Don’t get me wrong, I still think they are wrong in this and pity them for the time and energy lost on pleasing an imaginary being, and for the pain their beliefs can inflict upon themselves; but ultimately, that’s up to each individual person, and it does not justify hate.
Is it really micromanaging? What you described sounds like coaching. With a professor / teacher, they are there to help you with doing things the correct / efficient way; and with a conductor, its them steering the orchestra towards their vision.
Same; can you also, by any chance, wiggle them?
Phone + Insulin pen.
My sensor is stuck to my arm anyways, so I’m not counting that.
Another thank you! Sumire is exactly what I have been looking for
Is this about the straight werewolves author?
Re: Spain: the headline was bullshit. If you are arrested and then investigated and it turns out you use Graphene, they’ll go “huh, I wonder why. We’ve seen a lot of drug dealers use Graphene. Let’s investigate in that direction as well”.
Noone is being arrested or targeted FOR having GOS.
I hope forgejo’s federation efforts come along. Being able to host projects on my own instance, yet receive contributions without having to allow people to register on my instance, would give me the push to completely abandon Github.
Sounds like you never wanted to be friends, just fuck them.
