  • Aliens is more similar to Pitch Black, but it's a fair comparison, and, yeah, Aliens is the better movie.

    Part of it is the cast/writing. Can you name any other character in Pitch Black besides Riddick? LOL.

    Aliens - Ripley, Newt, Bishop, Burke, Hicks, Hudson, Gorman, Apone, Vasquez.

  • Filed by a Democrat so DOA in the current House. Flip it in '26 and we'll talk.

    Flip the House AND Senate and it might actually happen.

  • Glioblastoma, damn. I personally knew far too many people killed by that.

  • Megalopolis is an interesting watch, lots of allegory which blows by people and they go "I don't get it, 0/10."

  • It's an actual collab with Kill Bill skins and such.

  • Yeah, the only reference to the Pussy Wagon in part 2 is when she's talking to Esteban and tells him it broke down on her.

  • The best one I've found is the New Jerusalem translation:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jerusalem_Bible#%3A%7E%3Atext=Substantially+revising+the+JB+and%2Cintroductions%2C+written+by+Henry+Wansbrough.

    Here's a comparison:

    New Jerusalem Ezekiel 20:23-26

    23 Once again, however, I pledged them my word that I would scatter them throughout the nations and disperse them in foreign countries,

    24 because they had not followed my judgements but had rejected my laws and profaned my Sabbaths, their eyes being fastened on the foul idols of their ancestors.

    25 And for this reason I gave them laws that were not good and judgements by which they could never live;

    26 and I polluted them with their own offerings, making them sacrifice every first-born son in order to fill them with revulsion, so that they would know that I am Yahweh."

    King James:

    23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;

    24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.

    25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;

    26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.

    NIV:

    23 Also with uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries, 

    24 because they had not obeyed my laws but had rejected my decrees and desecrated my Sabbaths, and their eyes lusted after their parents’ idols. 

    25 So I gave them other statutes that were not good and laws through which they could not live; 

    26 I defiled them through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn—that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.’

  • Good book to take with you to jury duty if you want to avoid being picked for jury duty. 😉

  • That was a TOUGH read. It came up in my fantasy kick back in the 80s, so many other better books to read!

  • Kind of the whole point of the "Dirty Jobs" show.

    Two kinds of jobs:

    One, where you need a shower before you go to work.

    Two, where you need a shower when you get home from work.

    We value One and devalue Two. NGL, I've done both, I don't know, physically, that I could go back to Two.

    Bonus, Three, can't remember the last time you showered because you work from home. LOL.

  • More media, fewer people. 😉

  • Please state the nature of the sausage emergency.

  • That's something I've been telling people for years... Treat the Internet as you would the largest city you know of.

    Would you take your kid to Times Square, turn them loose and say "Go have fun!" Of course not, that's insanity.

  • That would be a fun way to implement a quarantine... Posts and comments by new users are only available to other new users. 😉

    Kind of like the "Hide Bots" toggle. "Hide New Users".
