  • Lots of Spielberg directed stuff fits here I think like close encounters, Indiana Jones, Jaws

    The blues brothers I remember was a lot of fun & don't recall anything that stands out as too adult. tons of music, violence is not very serious

    mst3k/rifftrax take a lot of old cheap movies and have comedians joke over the movie's audio, I think most of it is pretty pg-13 stuff but not pandering to kids

    Some Coen brothers/Ethan Coen movies like O brother where art thou and raising Arizona, true grit, add a bit more complexity to stories over kids movies, but keep the violence not too scary

  • The government regulates the credit card industry without holding a monopoly on using credit cards they create, and regulates the airline industry but doesn't make everyone buy their planes. I'm not arguing against regulation, but I'm also not a fan of monopolies held in public or private sectors.

  • Maniac Mansion: day of the tentacle includes the full first maniac Mansion game on weird Ed's computer in the room with him and the hamster

    EverQuest /gems and /pizza

  • Use your blinker, return your cart to the corral, and mind your business

    I'm sure I've missed it sometimes over the years, but if you make it a habit it's harder to forget or ignore

  • Separation of church and state seems to have been a pretty good idea despite Mike's idiocy in that regard as well. Maybe we also need a separation of economy and government too since their continued mismanagement has destabilized bonds, reduced confidence in US markets due to their manipulation, and an ongoing inability to even create a budget.

  • I get the idea that it's only temporary, but I'd much rather have a current gen AI paint a picture than attempt to program a guidance system or a heart monitor

  • Imagine the lack of self-reflection to call someone a barbarian while committing genocide to steal more land from Palestine. I can't apprehend the confusion of thought necessary to think this way without starting with some blunt force trauma to the noggin.

  • corpo translation: left leaning folks in the US are generally more educated currently and are more likely to critically question whether a social media account is a corporate bot and question our bots when they shill products, so we're going to target the less educated population by appealing to their populist politics of rage bait and xenophobia.

  • The censorship on the movie The Big Sleep, based on a book about a pornography ring run by organized crime, was released at a time when they censored everything to the point of making the movie into a kind of nonsense with Bogart talking fast and Bacall singing a song about DV.

  • Yeah hamburgers with a little pb on top is great, hummus works good too

  • Genesis Streets of Rage is still one of my favorite soundtracks

  • Peanut butter is a big one for a lot of weird combos, goes well with burgs, fruit, cereal, etc, hummus is a good substitute too

    Mustard has some weird ones eggs, mayo, salty stuff like chips and pretzels

    Waldorf salad is basically fruit, mayo, and nuts it was popular enough you can still find it some places

  • Do what you think is right, but spend some time to consider whether you want to reward someone or some organization with your hard earned money if you consider what they are doing immoral or bad.

  • Greenland sharks are pretty amazing

    They can grow up to 24 feet putting them at the same giant scale as great whites and basking sharks, but most are usually closer to 5 meters long

    They can live for hundreds of years due to extremely slow metabolism and ambush feeding, some individuals found around 400 years old are as old as the Jamestown colony, Don Quixote, and the discovery of logarithms.

    They are opportunistic feeders and have been found with polar bear and reindeer in their digestive systems, and can pull/vacuum in water to catch their primary prey of fish, eels, and other sharks.

  • Some might say it helped contribute to her extreme detachment from humanity and her overwhelming senses of entitlement, greed, and paranoia. I'm not saying all trust funders are nepo babies, but all nepo babies are trust funders.

  • Also "helicopter" and "buttock" put together
