Far too often i hear people say “i watch movies to escape, not think.”

Primer is one if my all time fav scifi flics. I have watched it maybe a dozen times. I have to literally pause the movie every time and think “what the fuck is going on again at this point?“

It is a deeply complex plot which does nothing to try and help the audience. You have to sink or swim. I don’t think it would fly… a lot of people would leave wishing they had 75 minutes back because “it was stupid and didn’t make any sense.”

To this day i am convinced Christopher Nolan attempted to make a commercially successful version of this (Tenet) with questionable results. I thought it was alright, but was… messy.

I have no opinion on the person who made cash here. Sex work is still work. You, however, are an asshole.

More? 22 brands released EVs last year alone. There are a LOT of options out there, with more to come. Apple would have been like, the 4,000th entrant in this market.

This is not bank debt. It’s the sum of his civil fraud trial and EJ Carroll trials. Trump owes nearly 500M is penalties. So i would say this is his problem.

Emigration is really hard, both emotionally and financially, regardless of where you live.

At some time we have to shed the misguided Nixon era belief that drugs are a legal problem, and not a public health problem. The war on drugs has produced nothing but losers on every single front. Addicts don’t get the help they need. An underground market thrives like crazy at the cost of human lives. Tax payers pay out hundreds of billions over the years in tracking, enforcement, and incarceration, all yielding zero net gains. people are going to prison for life on a 3-strikes violation because they got caught with a dime bag of dope. The entire thing is an absolute clusterfuck and waste of money.

I would try to believe in myself as much as my employer believed in me. My imposture syndrome for the first couple years was absolutely rank.

That was a delightful 1.5 seconds of nostalgia.
