The only circumstance under which I could ever see myself having children is if I lived in China. Even that would be a bit scary as long as USA still exists.
The majority of USian dog-owners are negligent jackasses who should not be allowed to own any pet, especially any animal large enough to maul or kill somebody.
Historian Mark Tauger's review of Applebaum's book Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine:
Yeah, true. There are so many cases where I have an issue where I literally just need a yes or no answer, or to learn a simple keyboard shortcut in a program, but instead I end up having to watch a whole video. Part of that is search engines being so terrible now.
In reddit's case I'm cheering it on. Fuuuck that website. Youtube's enshittification bothers me more because it's even more of a monolith on the video-hosting landscape, and there's a ton of useful tutorial content on there for such a wide variety of subjects.
Rest in Peace. Obviously iconic for Darth Vader, but I'll always remember him most for his role in The Sandlot (1993).
I can't pick one so I'll rattle off some names:
Without a Paddle: Shitty 2000s comedy with Seth Green and two other guys where they have a lame adventure trying to find BD Cooper's stolen fortune or whatever.
Superman Returns: I remember watching it multiple times in a row when I got it on DVD because I kept forgetting I had just watched it minutes before, that's how boring it was.
American Haunting: Another 2000s movie, this could have been a passable ghost movie with a decent setting (colonial US, suitably dour for a horror setting and appreciably novel at the time), but fell for the old trap of psychological horror / metaphor monster that horror movies sometimes do.
Don't Mess with the Zohan:
Fits with my assessment of modern democrats being essentially Bush-era neocons but "woke."
