Random Rants

According to this guy he's given away like 50 fucking thousand dollars today alone. And just deleted a tweet promising $1000 for likes. 

Also the person is apparently in the UK but says dollars. That's what British click-baiters on YouTube do. They say dollars, not pounds, because a lot of their audience is likely to be American and American's don't give a fuck about British money.

 

Check with your resident Brit but I think they've done away with pounds and pence. The official currency is Euros now, but that would still give it away as non-US so it doesn't invalidate your point.

Remmy

I did. 

"I don't care what they use there anymore. I'm an American citizen now and I spend your dollars."

9 countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) are EU members but do not use the euro.   19 EU members do use the euro.

I’m most familiar with Poland where my late wife was from.  When I asked why they didn’t adopt the euro, I was told nobody in Poland would be able to afford anything if they did.

And the randome inappropriate video recommendations returned, after a long break.  This morning out of 12 thumbnail is that field, I got "How my take on Titans' Starfire angered SJWs" and another one calling Captain Marvel a "Trash Fire" with a picture of Bree Larson, and Kill All Men across the bottom.  I swear to God.

I guess they never heard of Superia?  That's right, because of Supergirl, Starfire and Captain Marvel being "Mary Sues" now comic books are giving subliminal mesaages to kill all men through our movies, and TV shows.  (No mention of Wonder Woman, for no apparent reason, despite the fact that she saved Steve Trevor multiple times, and let him kill himself in the end.)

When this all sounds suspiciously like a plot by Superia, who nobody has ever heard of?  "Fake Gamer Girls" my ass!  This is not new, Suoergirl et-all were all marketing ploys by marvel, and DC to get girls interested in reading comic books, going back to the 60s.  Now, all of a sudden, it's a threat to them?

Now "That Star Wars Girl" is trying to tell me that "Feminism is ruining the MCU."  Have you seen the box-office figures?  I think it's safe to say that the MCU is "Ruined" in the most profitable way imaginable.

Sorry about Star Wars, though.  Can't win 'em all?

[ChirpingGirl]

No one wants Star Wars to die more than I do.

I'm pretty sure you've already gotten your wish.

I remember when wifey thought it'd be great to be getting new star wars movies every year. I remember telling her Disney would fuck it up. I remember her telling me how wrong I was.

Right after she dragged me to see lamest Jedi in New York on our vacation: "I think I'm done with Disney star wars, white girl" 

Yet she still dragged me to Soylo. Which she didn't like either.

I didn't even go to TLJ, nor Solo.  I found out that I had outgrown them with T4sA.  Then, I went back, and watched the original Trilogy.

I'm not a kid any more.  I can still appreciate every other Indiana Jones movie (The odd ones are good)  I'm sorry to say that the Fairy Tale in Space! didn't age as well.

I enjoyed Rogue One.  They did pretty good with that.

You know that extreme arched-back hissing thing that cats do in horror movies when they encounter the embodiment of pure evil?



That's me, reading these comments.

As I sit in my living room, I have eleven model spacecraft in my line of sight.

Eight of them are from various Star Wars movies. Three of those are Millennium Falcons.

My laptop has a Death Star sticker on it, my mouse is resting on the Star Wars Annual 2019, my coffee mug is covered in blue-prints of Star Wars ships & vehicles, and I have an AT-AT walker pin on my jumper.

Yesterday's boxers had the Falcon on as well.

I am 51, and about a third of the list above was bought for me by my wife.

I've bought my wifey plenty of star wars junk too. I got her an autographed original movie poster to complete her set. She wears her star wars shirt to bed every night, except on humpy nights.   She has all kinds of vintage crap like the Mail Away Early Bird Set. She has a 1978 tie fighter toy still in the box. A vintage Darth vader tie fighter still in the box. At least I think that's what they are, fuck if I know. All kinds of crap probably worth a small fortune on ebay. But she only has that little beach ball robot from the new movies.

Literally the only thing she likes about those new movies is "I guess Rey is kind of hot".  

When we were little and she made me watch it with her I always had to hold her hand so she knew I was still there with her. She actually still makes me to do that when she drags to me to see them with her.

Used to love this place now every picture thread is a damn comment thread.  Nobody fucking cares what you think about a picture, that's why they're in "pics & vids"

[staci]

lol, wrong side of bed this morning?

Me want pictures.  Writing make head hurt.

You don't have to read the comments.  In fact, "Never Read the Comments" is One of the Rules of the Internet.  What exactly is wrong with congratulating each other for posting hot images, and telling each other what turns us on, so we can continue posting hot pictures?

Honestly, I'm not making fun of you, I sincerely want to know.  For one thing they aren't "All" turning into comment threads, and most of the photos just aren't commented on.  I just don't understand what's wrong with commenting, when the photos are right there, to catch your eye, and it's just easier to skip the comments, to the next picture.

Are you on a phone, so it takes up space on the small screen, so you have to scroll more?  I just don't get it.

No worries, that happens often.  Just turn the ‘b’ backwards.
