I plan on telling her parents and surprising her by having them sign her up for the trip.
If she wants to go to Germany, she can talk to her own parents. I can’t imagine any good reason for you to get involved and talk to her parents without her knowing. Maybe I’m missing some context, but seems like a lot of not-your-business.
Engineering
When the pros no longer outweigh the cons.
I work in a field that offers full tuition reimbursement commonly, so money isn’t a barrier. No con there.
I don’t have kids, so that greatly alleviates time capacity. So some con there but not as much as a parent of young kid(s) would face.
I have progressed far enough in my career and am on a path where another degree won’t really help me reach my career goals, so no significant pro there.
Personal curiosity and ego do motivate me slightly. Even if I never use it at work, I would be keen to have work pay for another degree that I have personal interest in. I also like having advanced degrees solely for the accomplishment. So minor pros there.
In summary, not too late for me but easy to see that’s not the case for everyone else.
Those MAGA nuts can’t touch my chill. I exist on an instance that has downvotes disabled.
Meh, I have no faith Disney will responsibly handle the screamingly obvious gay subtext to Gaston and LeFou. At best, some coy hints at it while staying minimal enough they don’t have to cross the MAGA nuts
Free Fire (2016). Not my jam. It felt like a fan boy attempt at a Guy Ritchie story. And the shots of the main location, which takes place in a big warehouse, don’t contain enough reference points so know where all the characters are at in any given moment. It was disorienting and made the fight scenes that much more difficult to follow.
Big World (2024) Chinese drama about a young man with cerebral palsy. This one is a tearjerker.
Shrek (2001) to celebrate its 25th anniversary a little early. Still such an impressive movie, I think a small, B-run studio would still be happy to put out that CGI work today.
Anyone I’ve ever heard talking about the non-aggression principle spat red flags faster than a machine gun.
At best, they’re truly so dense and unsympathetic they don’t recognize actions that aren’t directly or intentionally causing harm do still cause harm (example, the free state project people leaving food out for black bears “because they can” without thought for their neighbors who then have to deal with more bears). At worst, it’s rape apologia (crap like statutory rape doesn’t exist because that minor “totally asked for it” and the rape didn’t cause physical damage).
What a fun read, ty. I went to the Talk page hoping for some back and forth about ensuring the description of the project was unbiased. Nope, nada, surpised there aren’t any free state project fans within the ranks of Wikipedia editing volunteers who would have something to say.
White Zombie. It was fun seeing the low-budget combined with filming, acting, and dialogue that still hailed back to the silent film era. And for how racist it could have been in 1932, it really wasn’t. Misogynist? Yes.
Ah, thanks for the explanation.
I would guess the next set of features “missing” from the Roku app have similar reason then. 1) I use a plugin to search and download subtitles from the browser interface; it would be great to be able to do that from the Roku app too and 2) once subtitles are available, easily adjusting the offset.
The feature from web browser I use most that is missing from the Roku app is the option to increase playback speed.
If you’re really a/the Roku app dev, cheers. I recognize it’s a passion project for a lot of those involved and I am grateful.
The first thing I ever saw her in was Little Monsters. It’s a lightweight zombie horror comedy and she was delightful in it. Would recommend to anyone who likes the genre.
Produced by Stephen Curry. OK. Sure.
Under the bills, some kinds of local telecom projects would be approved automatically if a city or town doesn’t rule within a deadline set by Congress.
The tl;dr
Here’s an Article on the survey I’ve been seeing referenced lately that shows among the population surveyed, men and women are reporting similar rates of loneliness.
As to why it’s being called the male loneliness epidemic, well, I have personal opinions on that. Mostly that problems affecting men are far more likely to get sympathy, attention, and funding. How many times are issues affecting primarily women just hand-waved away as less important?
Have chronic diarrhea so they can’t trace a single log back to you.
If he somehow does start getting held accountable for this, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries will twist themselves into pretzels to somehow throw him a lifeline. And it wouldn’t even make me assume Schumer or Jeffries are in the Epstein files, I think they’re just so cowardly and worthless they’d help Trump without getting anything out of it.
This is me, I went along when invited by friends to see the graphics.
This one wasn’t worth it, there’s been no advancement since 2. And since most of the filming has been done for 4 and 5 already, I’m not expecting them to show any technology growth either.
I saw it in a Dolby theater rather than IMAX. I don’t think IMAX would have made enough difference to change my mind.
