I mean… you’re kind of right, but this is a “read the room” situation.

FWIW most clowns are hard-working, skilled individuals who bring joy to people’s lives.

Yeah, I know… it’s easy to be cynical and do nothing… I have to fight against that feeling every day, I’m dealing with it now even…

A lot of thought went into that haircut, friend-o.

[The haircut] is wedgy, greasy, somehow old womany, and that, combined with Bardem’s machismo, makes it unsettling. The actor himself is supposed to have reacted, “Oh no, now I won’t get laid for the next two months,” when he saw it.

Now the man behind the cut has emerged. He is a Canadian hairdresser from New Brunswick called Paul LeBlanc who has previously styled hair on movies such as Star Wars and Casino, and who shared an Oscar with make-up artist Dick Smith for his work on Amadeus.

Le Blanc says that his inspiration was from the crusades, “when knights and Muslims were murdering each other, and this was a typical haircut. It was a dangerous time and we wanted to make Javier timeless and dangerous at first sight.”

“You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won’t be the best workout you have, you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.” -Georges St-Pierre, mixed martial artist

“I’ll have to ask my niece what exactly are those medieval chants we’re listening to.”

Suggest a first date that involves a mosh pit.

One side of my family was all farmers. I don’t know much about that life, but I believe the youngest girl would be raising those two babies (while cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, etc), and those two boys would be working the field with the mother.

Unfortunately the other kids will call her a “door-k” for the rest of the school year.

their insides look like a mix of their outsides and their personality.

Good lord… imagine getting a little cut on your finger, and you look at the cut, and you see a face staring out from inside saying “HI THERE I SECRETLY HATE YOUUUUU” while a set of toes and genitals try to seep out of the cut before you bandage it up forever. That’s some cthulhu-level stuff, man.

Pedants: He asked if she minded. She responded saying, “Sure thing,” which is an affirmative response, meaning that she did mind.

So… when you analyze language, you can think of an utterance’s semantics (what it means “at the dictionary level”) and pragmatics (what it means in context.) For example, if you’re having dinner, and someone asks “can you pass the salt?” in terms of semantics it’s a question, but in terms of pragmatics it’s generally a command or request for an action.

Similarly, I’d say Batman’s first utterance in terms of pragmatics is a request for permission, which is granted by Catwoman’s first utterance.

I was going to agree, but I haven’t had Brach’s candy corn in a while, every so often those large companies change the formula to make things cheaper* so it’s hard to be sure.

Hey fam, go to !fedigrow@lemm.ee and check out the weekly “How are you doing with your communities?” post if you haven’t already. It’s like a support group for people keeping niche communities alive.

Would be funny if he brought a different cat every week.

The youtube algorithm determined the following: people who watch the kind of videos in your history, are also interested in recording netflix shows. And it was right, because you are in fact interested in that (general) topic. This is another possible explanation.

I picture this as someone who goes to church a lot, reads romance novels, bakes awesome cookies, and says things like “sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays!”

Awesome, thanks for the lead.

Hey, sorry for asking this here… I used to access public instances through a URL like this: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=sTEm--FVNe0 and previously there’d be a long list of public instances, whereas now there are only 3-4. I assume this is due to Google’s attacks. If you have a link available, can you direct me to a web page or discussion or something that explains exactly what’s going on there? I’m interested in learning more about the technical details. Thanks.
