    this technique I think is interesting. I’m from a small town of MAGA retards so stuff like this comes across my Facebook when a former hs classmate comments on the article.  This particular one had a comment saying something like “more liberal Democrat lies!” or some such. I click on the link and glance at the other comments and it is thousands and thousands of similar reactions.  
     

    if you read the article, it basically says the traits that make one walk briskly are also traits that indicate general health that would ward off serious sickness.  Youth, vitality, energy reserves, what have you.  No claim of causation between fast walking and COVID protection.  
     

    but I think it is intentional. They know no one can be bothered to actually read the article, and they know their audience cannot distinguish between causation and correlation.  So the headline writers grab this study and post it in a vague way to make a sub-80 iq reader think causation is being argued as bait to have it laughed at.

  2. Paul Thomas Anderson is that way for me. All of his movies get a look because of boogie nights. But I didn’t really love any of the other ones, including super successful and praised ones like there will be blood, and I straight up walked out of inherent vice. But still, if a PTA movie was released tomorrow it would be must see no questions asked.

    Alan Albright is in Waco.  Everyone knew he'd do well.  Got in on voice vote.  Counts was put up by Obama, it was returned, and Trump put him up again.  Cam Barker is a super genius, but had a very right leaning career because he worked for the Texas AG, so he's signed a lot of briefs that assert very right leaning positions.  I don't really hold that against him, even though all the D senators did.  Ada Brown got 80 votes.    Hendrix was another one nominated by Obama, returned, and Trump renominated.  Got 89 votes.

     

    Whatever the process is, at least in Texas, it hasn't gone too haywire.

    Cam Barker strikes down eviction moratorium.  says that it isn't interstate commerce but general police power of the state.

    Movies/TV shows set in the past are a bit "cartoonish" with the look. Not EVERY person in 1977 wore bell bottoms and drove a Chevelle. Not every person in 1986 had a Walkman and parachute pants. But in the movies they all do.
     

    i think the point is a little different.  i'm suggesting it is possible to dress like 1979 and 1984.  you can't really dress like 2015 or 2010 or 2005 in any way that is different from 2020.  and not just dress, but everything else that is indicative of moments in time of a culture.  if i was to make a movie about 2005, what visuals would i put in it to show the viewer it was 16 years ago?

    I could have sworn he was already dead. Was there an urban legend in the late 90s that he died or am I imagining that?

    Feel like I remember that too.

    This guy was a true piece of shit. 

    young actors that are cast in mockable roles end up weird.  another example is dj qualls, the skinny kid from road trip.  the need to overcompensate for their casting seems to be real and comes out in weird ways.

    I don't care that there are 2 SpaceX Dragon capsules docked at the ISS right now or that SpaceX makes landing a orbital booster look routine or that Tesla has pulled the global Auto makers kicking and screaming into the electric vehicle world, for my money, Elon's unwillingness or inability  to light this Starship prototype while I have time to watch just show that Musk is a fraud.   

    All I'm hearing is excuses:  Most advanced engines ever made, most complex 'belly flop' landing ever attempted, early prototype,  first tests, blah blah blah.  

    Put up or shut up, bro.

    Has fashion changed as much since 1998 as it did from 76 to 98?

    That's pretty interesting.  I think the pace of change of the entire culture has slowed, I guess.  We have more and more technological advances, so a movie like The Departed like entire plot devices revolving around crazy things called "text messages" feels laughable now.  But everything else about that era still seems relevant.  I'd say every single article of clothing, every saying, every haircut, every environment in there would work in a movie about today.   But that was 15 years ago already.  Think about the differences between 1975 and 1990.  Or any other 15 year period in there. 

     

    Hell, in Boogie Nights you have the same characters looking like 

    mark-wahlberg-boogie-nights-1997-RYYJR8.

    and this

    in the same movie, representing like a 5 year change.  Pretty weird.
