Have his pants completely consumed him yet?

Maybe that’s too obscure

Haha that ghost is reading Boolysses

Oh I just read about Disney doing that to the guy who wrote the original Star Wars novelizations, I think. They assumed all of Lucasfilm’s assets but not their liabilities, including royalty agreements.

It’s insane that this “works” for companies the size of Disney and Lucasfilm.

Thank you!

I could keep going, I am here for Trump’s slow miserable downfall. I want him to definitely not be in politics ever again, but I’m currently enjoying watching him get his ass handed to him. Over and over again.

He’s still facing lots of felonies too. Imagine having to keep going to court, and you’re being photographed all slouching next to the only attorneys who will work with you.

Not good lawyers, either. He made a choice in 2020 to try to stay in power by any means necessary, which meant aligning himself with Rudy Giuliani and a bunch of other “crazies,” which is literally what Mike Pompeo called them. After that, lawyers wouldn’t go near him, which is why that group is kind of the last Trump lawyers you heard a ton of detail about. Now they change all the time because no one with a name will work with him. Not only does he have several huge cases coming up, he can’t even get good lawyers.

He already lost this case, that’s why he’s so upset. And he might be coming to terms with the next year or more of his life sitting in court and being told what to do. It’s gotta be kind of a slap in the face. AND to have to go to New York to do it, which he hates now.

If he doesn’t spend the rest of his life looking miserable in court, he will look miserable honking into a microphone, or next to his very obviously miserable wife. Without good lighting he looks like the melting guy from the end of Robocop.

I want to watch him be miserable until he dies, and all of this has to be complete hell for a narcissist like him.

FYI both links were judges nominated by Trump and rammed through the approval process to specifically do things like this.

The first one was an obvious political stunt, she literally “struck it down” in 2022 when it was extended by .

On April 18, 2022, a week after the CDC's extension of the public transportation mask mandate through May 3, Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle of the District Court for the Middle District of Florida, struck down the mandate as unlawful in a lawsuit brought by an advocacy group…”

Whew, thank god we had that ruling, I wonder how many lives that helped during that and subsequent COVID surges? Thanks Judge Mizelle! Lmao

Your second link also directly involves a judge appointed by Trump, literally right after she was appointed.

In the 5-4 decision, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who joined the court last month, was the decisive vote siding with the conservative judges on the bench.

Lmao, wow, would you look at that. Right in your link.

This shit is sad, what are you getting out of this? What’s keeping in your bubble?

Oh damn cry-bully is so good

I would love to see him in jail for this, but hear me out: I want to see him lose everything in New York first… and he didn’t actually break the gag order. Which makes me want to gag saying it, but here we are.

Trump’s strategy his entire life has been trying to find ways to flout the rules and make money. He thinks he’s “clever” by not paying people he owes and constantly fucking people over; that he’s a good businessman despite all the failures and obvious fraud.

The gag order specifically states that Trump can’t talk about the Judge’s staff. So he goes around that by going back to attacking the judge himself and the Letitia James… who aren’t covered by any gag order because they’re public officials, not court staff. Trump is once again just toeing the line of what could get him in actual trouble. He is genuinely a piece of shit.

All that being said, keep in mind that that the overall punishment is currently happening. It may not be Trump in jail, ever, because he’s a turd no one can seem to flush. But just, for a second, imagine a New York without the word Trump plastered on it. It will eat him alive for the rest of his life. And that’s not all that’s happening to him; I don’t think the rest of his life is going to be super fun for him. He seems miserable.

The dude desperately wanted to be accepted by New York’s elite; his dad owned shitty buildings in Queens (I think, someone can correct me if I’m wrong) so when Donald made it to Manhattan — where the ultra-wealthy live — it was huge for his ego. He’s been riding that ever since, except that high society still knows he’s dumb trash. His insecurity shows in how he acts, what he says, and how he talks about everything being so luxurious. He’s desperate to be accepted by the old world elite, but they despise him.

And now they’re scrubbing his entire legacy from New York. Not because they hate him, but because he’s very obviously a fraud. I don’t know if there could be a more direct rebuke to his actual “life’s work.” They’re erasing him.

Edited a typo

I was pretty hooked on Babylon 5 from the start, and I can’t say the same for series like Star Trek: TNG! To me the world felt pretty fleshed-out and cohesive really early.

I actually need to pick Babylon 5 back up, I can struggle with watching series consistently, even ones I like.

I might be in the minority but I watched The Day the Earth Stood Still twice in my twenties and thirties and I found it almost impossibly slow. I’m not used to the pacing of old movies, so that might be part of it.

But I also was expecting more of a science fiction movie than a social drama. It has a robot on the cover. Haha!

I watched it the second time to understand what I didn’t see the first time, and realized it’s just not for me. I can’t remember my particular complaints other than the pacing, which might be fine if the kid is used to it.

People who are downvoting: why?

Is the David Lynch Dune that good? I doubt it. Should a kid be forced to sit through a cult classic? Probably not.

I feel like Dune fanatics leave logic at the door sometimes.

Contact is such a good movie! I watched it when I was a kid too and I watched it more than once.

I will say, as someone who used rTorrent some time ago to automate torrent downloading and whatnot, it was awesome. I’m glad to see it still going and gaining popularity.

Stable software doing its job out of the way is what I want.

I think it’s easy to forget that paintings have texture and it can change your experience of one when you see them in person!

This is a really interesting conversation! This is actually my favorite kind of art so I might also be able to help explain. Sorry if this is boring, I love modern art and have spent a decent amount of time in a modern art museum as a visitor!

It’s not about asking yourself how it makes you feel, but more recognizing that art makes you feel something whether you want it to or not.

The moment you see it and think “I don’t get it.” Or “that’s just smears on a wall,” you are already experiencing the art and feeling something. Even if it’s derision! Or disinterest! It may not be for you, but the trick is realizing you are still feeling something. I think it’s fun to wonder about what I feel or think about an artist’s intent. It adds depth to the art for me.

One of the main reasons I love art like this is that the artist is often really intentional and, in an unintuitive way, it’s reward looking at them more than once and in 3D. They have texture and oftentimes you can see very clear intent on the artist’s part. The size of the painting makes a difference, what’s around it, etc.

I also love art that requires more than surface level to understand it. If I’m like “why would someone like this?” it almost attracts me more. I learn what the artist is putting into the art, often emotionally and/or with a lot of thought, and that can make it more meaningful than people who are really good painters painting the Virgin Mary again, you know?

I could keep going, with examples, but I’ve written a lot. I love art, man.

I’m always curious about how hard it is to make insane nonsense that’s hard to disprove. Like, 100% randomization seems like it could be easier to detect vs. more believable things added by people.

So then you have to spend time making it believable…

I’m similar apparently, or at least liked learning. 2000s.

I was pretty unimpressed with the list, I never believed some of them (like the genome) and learned most of them were wrong by high school.

You want me to clarify it in the post but you aren't happy with my clarification in the post?

This is correct, I’m not sure why this is hard to understand. You did a bad job clarifying in the post and you insisted on being aggressive for no reason.

And in this comment, actually. Maybe you have no friends because you’re an aggressive jerk most of the time?

But you did what I asked, so thanks. And bye!

Seriously, this has to be one of the weirdest ways to handle this I’ve ever seen. Totally took away from the post by insisting they’re not American. Lmao

Edited to say that OP fixed most of the weird aggression. Nice work!

But hey, fuck me for making a suggestion, right guys? Bye! Love the “community” you’re building.

Couldn’t you have just clarified the thing about the “millennium bug” in the post instead of adding two totally worthless lines about Americans and stating where you’re from?

Absolutely bizarre way to handle the situation.

ETA OP did what I asked but pouted about it. So, a win for all I guess.

“Self reflection? Who needs it!” OP

Holy shit this community is toxic as hell! I’ll see myself out

It’s also a really gross substance! Gross all around. Apparently very important and expensive, but gross.
