Thank you for doing that, and for the information. I'm a complete dipshit when it comes to web security.

Was McCarthy a creep?

Edit: Never mind, I just learned what you're talking about. 42 and 16, Jesus Christ. That's nearly as bad as my own father.

Tracking links?

What'd I do wrong

The Manaan Ahto City ambient music and the track from the Kashyyyk upper canopy especially

Definitely not, it was a lose/lose proposition from the jump. Nearly everybody watching wanted Tyson to fuck Paul up. Tyson wins? Paul lost to an old man. Paul wins? He beat up an old man. And in either outcome, the crowd isn't with him.

But even besides all that, as you say, it was a one-off exhibition match, and the main draw was Tyson coming out of retirement. Plus, at least in my mind, the fact that he took 8 rounds to barely beat an old, injured man by decision, makes me wonder if those other 10 wins were tomato cans.

Age comes to us all I suppose, but even so, even knowing there's no turning back the clock for any of us, I'd hoped Tyson could pull it off one last time and eat that smarmy douchebag.

All-time best Felix bit

Doesn't China produce more new solar capacity than the rest of the world has like every year?

Correct, and I came in here to say it. MAGA Americans are still Americans, and the overwhelming majority of us are completely housebroken.

Well I'll be. I'll have to check it out, I really liked the movie. Thanks.

I believe he was talking about the film from 1973, which Kill Bill heavily homages (or rips off, depending on how charitable you're feeling) but shit, I never knew Lady Snowblood was originally a manga.

And never mind the fact that Russia, even in its currently degraded state, is objectively less evil than the United States

I have to know if/how any of them justified saying that, those are next-level brainworms

This sounds incredibly misanthropic, egotistical, and self-indulgent. You should delete this post. I'm not going to accuse you of lacking humility or empathy, but that's how this comes off, and it really sucks.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. People do that with Star Wars a lot as well. Always gives me second hand embarassment.

Plus like, leaving all else aside, I've never understood how peer pressure and making somebody feel lesser for not seeing a particular movie is supposed to make them enthusiastic about doing that (though of course much of the time that isn't the point, it's a mask for a smug sense of superiority)

The high drama of family strife, conspiracy, betrayal, and power, played out with life or death stakes. Or at least, that's what I enjoy about it. It's very operatic. Plus it's got a number of excellent performances and an excellent soundtrack. And as an aside, it's a rare example of a movie being far better than the book it's based on. Fond as I am of the novel, there's a lot of shit that the movie rightfully excises (in the novel, Sonny's unnaturally large penis is literally an integral part of Lucy Mancini's subplot.)

Also, particularly when combined with the sequel, Godfather shows a mythologized, multi-generational rendition of the Italian immigrant experience. More broadly, it's a cultural artifact of 70s America that reflected a growing sense of otherness among so-called 'white ethnics' from the socially dominant WASPs, and a rejection of the assimilationist tendencies that had supposedly characterized the immigrant experience prior to that point.

None of this is to say you have to watch it. If it isn't your thing, then it isn't. I hate when people insist that a movie is essential somehow, and that there's something wrong with you if you don't like it. I just figured I'd share a bit of what I liked/thought about it.

I don't think I've ever once met a girl who's taller than I am, but boy would I like to. I recall reading somewhere that only 1% of women in the US are 6 feet or taller, so I'm not holding my breath, but I dated one a while back who was nearly my height, and she was such a stallion in my eyes.
