  • I think I was unclear. Mario is my favorite. I'm the plebian I'm talking about. I'm a gamer and Thousand Year Door on GameCube is my favorite game of all time. I don't mind a bit that they threw thunderstruck in. My dad was in the theater with me and my brother, and my sister, and my nephews. All of us are obsessed with Mario but my Dad and sister, and thunderstruck meant my dad and sister were enjoying that scene as much as us, even though they didn't get the more subtle Mario Easter eggs.

  • I think I was unclear. Mario is my favorite. I have been told I'm not really a gamer over it. That's all I meant. I'm the plebian I'm talking about. Thousand Year Door on GameCube is my favorite game of all time, with Stardew as a close competitor. A lot of my gamer friends are fine calling me a gamer but I've definitely been hate kept over these preferences.

  • Idk, I think the issue here is that Mario is for plebians. I don't know any "real" gamers who would answer a Mario game as their favorite game. Hell they likely wouldn't be naming a platform game period. Why wouldn't they throw in a song like that? Mario is fun for everyone, and it's one of the video games that isn't niche, has little to no barrier to entry and is just goofy and fun. Why wouldn't the movie just be goofy and fun?

  • I think Christopher Robin and maleficent were good. As long as they're telling a new story it's fun to see the old characters. When it's just the exact same plot but a little darker and live action over animation it's so dumb. Our CGI just ain't good enough to justify that.

    They're remaking Moana already, and still a new movie, relative.

  • parents out there ... clue me in, but isn't this the pinnacle of irresponsibility, even on a cool day?

    What she did is reprehensible, irresponsible, disgusting. That said, letting your baby finish their nap in a climate controlled car used to be very common. You could park down your driveway, leave the car on, bring in your groceries (and even put them away), and then get the baby out, but now able to give him your full attention. It's not acceptable to do that today. I have spent so many many hours in my driveway letting my baby finish their nap. Apparently if you remove the car seat from the base the angle is more dangerous for them to rest at, but unbuckling her means the end of a nap. I have wished it was safe to leave her in there alone every time and if I was a slightly less informed mother, I probably would. I would say if the car is climate controlled it's probably the same amount or less dangerous than co sleeping and like half of parents do that (I do not). Parents make a lot of choices.

  • Yeah, or that it wasn't even sneaky, they just all agreed a couple of those episodes up front would broaden the appeal, and felt confident people would stick around once they got attached to the characters and into the sci-fi

  • I don't know anything about tech. I don't want to contribute anything to AI, but I'm afraid I'm going to brick my pixel if I install any of this. Here's a question. If I let them steal my info, does that hurt other people, or just me?

  • Lots of people warning you about alcoholism. Idk. I drink coffee strategically every day, and that's a drug. But also yes, I sometimes drink alcohol strategically. If I know I'm going to hang out with my sister who I love but disagree with on many many things, i have a drink or two. I try to dull my brain just enough that I am too slow to get offended at every single thing (or just don't care to, maybe?) in the end, we have a great time, I don't get all debate-ey with her, and instead just appreciate the good things about her. We don't see each other that often so I genuinely don't see any danger from this coping mechanism.

  • I think people underestimate how much hustling selling pictures online involves. Finding the sect of your audience who is actually willing to pay, beating your competition while trying to respect the market (in certain communities there are price floors to keep it stable), then attracting your customers without revealing your identity or identifiable backgrounds, while competing with other sellers who don't care about privacy, then the actual content creation, and after all of that customers really like personal touches, and some conversation. Then if you say or reveal anything that messes with their fantasy, you lose them. Even if you're a hottie, it's not easy money. Easier to just get a regular ol job.
