Holy shit. I live in a prominent city in the Midwest and tickets are only $11 to $12.

“Joker” was released at boon times for comic book tentpoles, when the mere idea of superhero fatigue seemed laughable. But the genre has been proven to be less resilient in the post-pandemic era. “Joker: Folie à Deux” joins the ignominious trio of 2023’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” and “The Marvels” — all three are follow-ups to billion-dollar tentpoles that completely collapsed at the box office and became big money-losers. The sequel to 2018’s “Aquaman” tapped out with $439 million globally while the sequel to 2019’s “Captain Marvel” ended its run with just $206 million globally. Those misfires proved audiences will no longer show up simply because there’s a DC or Marvel logo in the title credits.

Because these kinds of movies have become blatent cash grabs. The market is oversaturated with the same formulistic plots reskinned with a different superhero. It’s insulting to consumers to assume high profile actors, flashy cgi, and a comic book character is enough to overlook poor storytelling.

I’m gonna assume your argument is is good faith. You’re absolutely correct about all of it. It fucking sucks. But the other side is the the same if not even worse. The reality is that right now the choice is between Harris and Trump. One of those two options will be leading the US next year. Not voting for Harris means Trump will be the leader.

If you want to convince people to stop voting for Harris you need to argue why Trump leading the US next year is a better outcome for Palestine. I haven’t been able to find a reason.

Unfortunately, there is a downside to allowing Trump to win. It’s the trolly problem and yes I will help pull the lever that kills people to keep even more people from dying.

How to you find the energy to maintain a conversation like that? I know how to hold a “proper” conversation, it’s just so much work and the longer the conversation the stronger the brain fog becomes. I feel the life getting sucked out of my body.

What I heard

This is fine.

After exclusively using android for 10 years I switched to an iPhone. Only regret is not doing it sooner.

I think I might actually remember your comment!

Too late for thousands but in time for hundreds of thousands more.

My experience as well!! Maybe it’s not 100% accurate but it works well enough I can use it frustration free. Definitely hasn’t gotten worse. My only complaint is since the ios 17 update it randomly switches back to the default keyboard until you close and open the text box again but that’s not a predictive text problem.

Well, it wasn’t a waste. You learned something from it!

Oh fuck no. Don’t apologize to the girl or you WILL have something even bigger to feel guilty about. How much random shit do you remember when you were five years old? I guarantee she doesn’t remember a bit of it and never will, but you could easily plant false traumatic memories in her brain. That’s just fucked up every way you look at it.

I wouldn’t assume this is the work of a conservative ha

I come for the extras.

I don’t know about that, this seems right on par with biblical teachings. The God of the Old Testament arbitrarily commanded genocide against innocent men, women, and children justified only by eradicating “moral wickedness.” You can argue that the birth of Jesus brought a new era of peace and that the God of the Old Testament operated differently than the God of the New Testament but it doesn’t change the fact that the Bible is full of religious sanctioned violence and most Christians see nothing wrong with that.

This is the first I’ve ever heard someone say tech companies tend to lean left, or well, at least social media companies.

And you actually hope your ex actually does start seeing other people so you aren’t tempted to return like you always do.
