Most tubular brah

I’m trying to break my long habit of lurking, I’d like to see the platform grow so I help where I can

Don’t know where in world you are; I’m USA but my state actually likes funding public libraries. Sorry to hear yours are lacking like that, man : /

I’m just old enough to clearly remember pre-internet life and library use, so the coolest thing my library has in my opinion is the huge catalogue of books available at my fingertips through their app. No physical item to worry about means no risk of late fees either, it just returns itself if I don’t before the rental is up.

There are, like, household tools and stuff available as well as a good catalogue of movies on disc. I avail myself of those now and again, but I constantly have a book or two borrowed. That’ll always be my favorite thing my library has.

A band beanie, yesterday. I wear such a hat almost every day

Rowthdowerrrr

In my heart I feel it’s the cucumbers but I do not have any kind of logic to back that up

Which lesbian is the protein in this equation

Peanut butter is the protein, I guess, so the PB

Good god, Hues and Cues almost brought my family to blows

My mom’s been trying to make us a board game family for over 30 years and she still hasn’t succeeded, lol

I have today off, and no obligations to anyone or anything. The world is my oyster, friend. So y’know, pretty good. It’s still early morning my time zone (stupid internal clock set for AM shifts) so I’m just snuggling with the cat and putzing around on my phone before I get up.

My only complaint today is that my coffee grinder finally died last week so I’ll have to resort to the pre-ground for my coffee when I do get up in a bit. I’m not a coffee snob by any means but you can totally taste the difference, so I might get a little crazy today and add some oat milk or perhaps even sugar. I know, I’m a wild man.

My response to this post and my opinion in general is “play your video game so you enjoy it”

It’s the only way to be sure.

exert positive control over things you can control

Came here to say this exact thing. Getting the initial drive to get up and do something can be hard, but taking charge on something is an effective cure to> feeling helpless on what you can’t

I think the mundane perspective and ordinary characters were meant to ground the movie. Most kaiju movies follow elite scientists or squads of soldiers so it’s a bit easier to relate to regular people just bumbling around (and a lot cheaper to film).

See, this is what got me into the theater for Cloverfield, I wanted this movie. It’s a bummer I got it in the form of some particularly jittery found footage. I was hoping for something more akin to those goofy disaster movies, but the disaster is a kaiju; not just in tone, but in how it was shot. As you say, some more spectacle would have gone a long way. That, or to really drill down and get into the “human horror” aspect and maybe make the military/authority figures more antagonistic.

All in all, I guess I’m glad Cloverfield succeeded despite my personal feelings because we got 10 Cloverfield Lane which, while not without problems of its own, I enjoyed much more

You’re not an English speaking troll yourself, “shortest hanging fruit” headass

You couldn’t even keep your lunatic sentence structure and shit up for two whole comments? They breed the trolls weak these days, man

No one is grading your troll post on word count my guy

Speaking to a few stories my dad’s told me over the years, sometimes you’re just a rural dumbass, have a large thing to get rid of, and want a big splash for your amusement

Not OP but have a very similar problem: what if the above also isn’t working?
