you can’t make this shit up

Easily; they aren’t getting Joe Dante back and he was the only one that was able to have success with the franchise. Not sure if it’s gonna be a “legacy sequel” where they try to reboot the franchise, but seems likely.

You’re getting a lil confused, Joe Dante was the director for Gremlins and Gremlins 2. Spielberg wasn’t involved in Gremlins at all before this. There’s no way this film is going to be good without Dante’s involvement, and I think there’s no chance he will actually come back.

This is exactly it. They think they’ll look better if their essay shows off two or three different things they’ve done, when the truth is that the best essays I’ve read are from students who pick one singular thing and fully explore it. Classic style over substance.

That’s at the college level though. Unfortunately, I work with high schoolers, and I have not seen the same levels of respect given to the humanities as I see STEM in US high schools. Hell, in some states they seem to straight up allow students to take more STEM courses in lieu of humanities.

If I’m able to speak cat, does that mean my cats will actually listen to me? or will they just stare blankly at me and stick their tongue out when I ask them to get out of my bedroom?

I’ve got great news, but you’ll need to start making transfem friends

nah this is a lame take. People as a whole suck. trade your misandry for misanthropy

don’t worry, I work at a non-profit so they barely pay me lol. It’s mostly a curse, but the job market is bad in the U.S. since we’re teetering on the brink of collapse. I don’t really like my job, but I’ve got no other prospects that wouldn’t betray my morals.

The part that really blows my mind is the kids who have published research papers but still don’t understand this. I know they understand the concept of a thesis statement! They know how to write a closing paragraph! Yet still, they’ll write a meandering essay about three unrelated topics with no attempt to tie them together.

It’s always the journalism kids that seem to actually understand how to write. The overfocus on STEM sucks.

this is written by a masc man. if I’m not washing my hair and just scrubbing, yeah I can get it done in 10-15 minutes. If I need to wash my hair though? easily 30 minutes. If I need to shave my legs/body? I’m probably drawing a bath and I’ll see you in an hour at least.

as someone forced to read essays written by children but not involved in the education process, I really wish we stopped teaching like this. about 99% of essays I read have a great lede, and then 98% of them veer off into tangents and get off track. It feels like American education is so focused on the lede that it ignores the nut graf completely.

They’re already casting for season 3? Season 2 isn’t even out yet! I wonder if the goal is to have less of a break. I’m also not really sure how they’ll adapt Alabasta in only 8 episodes.

closed source instead of open source nvidia driver.

This is where the problem really began. though afaik, you can get a version of the bazzite distro with the closed source nvidia drivers already installed, so did you select a different one? Nvidia gave me nothing but issues when I was trying to migrate to Linux though. Ever since I switched to AMD, it’s been smooth sailing.

You’re confusing a societal concept of health for a biological one. Generally speaking, we classify any brain that does not function as expected as abnormal. However, you wouldn’t necessarily define that person as “sick” or “unwell,” in the same way that you wouldn’t call someone with synesthesia or without a visio-spatial sketchpad “sick.” It’s just not functioning as expected.

People eating spicy food is actually different, because there can be a couple different reasons for it. If it’s a case of receptors misfiring and indicating pleasure instead of pain, then yes they’d have unhealthy brains. I think typically spice enthusiasts have abnormal tongues though. Usually their receptors have dulled either due to repeated exposure to spice, genetic differences at birth, or external factors like coal dust.

Didn’t they already do this? with Tom Cruise in 2017? Are they just wholesale dismissing the existence of that film? because honestly, fair it was shite.

It’s because you have a healthier brain. some of us have our wires crossed in such a way that a lil bit of getting hurt actually feels sexy. Most masochism isn’t getting full-on tortured though, a lot of it is more sharp, quick pains like smacks or whips or bites. Obv there are more extreme cases, and you can kinda think of those as the wires getting really crossed.

ah yes, the incredibly timely MySpace reference.

what fucking year do they think it is? Kids who were born after MySpace stopped being culturally relevant are in high school. What even is the audience for this slop?

I’d hate to be called a liberal, but if it gets me to that camp I guess I’ll accept it

and just like that, it’s a good day
