i'm not gonna lie - this film is not good, in fact it's laughably bad in places.. first, i'd like to know the thought process that went behind choosing david lynch to write/direct.

Simon

The books are amazing, esp. if you read the entire series, but no one is going to be making those into movies I guarantee!

Yeah, that movie was so bad it went full circle and became a cult classic.

I'm looking forward to seeing the remake. I hope it lives up to my expectations.

Why build a new movie studio when we are in the last part of the last part of the last day?

if the end is so near as the jehovah’s witnesses leadership claims (somehow they must have special insight), why are they building a movie studio that will be finished in 2026?.

it’s not the first time something of this nature has happened in the society’s history.

So armageddon can be televised.

Coming soon to HBO - the end of the world!

(UK-ers may remember The Goodies did it first)

The looney left is at it again

so we all know california is one shit hole idiot state.

now gov.

asshat has banned gas lawn mowers and leaf blowers.

Simon

Gas powered lawn-mowers are annoyingly loud, I wouldn't mind seeing them banned.

I have a Worx robotic mower, I used to have a Robomow back in the UK. They are THE best thing you can ever buy ... because you never have to mow your lawn again and it's absolutely silent. You could run it at night.

What this will impact is lawn-care companies, because batteries aren't good for storing as much energy as gasoline is. Imagine the number of batteries they would need to do a days work?

And of course, the batteries and power still need to be produced. It's just outsourcing the pollution.

Differences, on average, between men and women

by LoveUniHateExams in

quite bizarrely, there are people trying their level best to blur the lines between man and woman, male and female.. so, i thought it a fairly good idea to list the differences, on average, between men and women.. ok, starting with the most obvious .... women have a vulva, a vagina, and internal gonads (ovaries); men have a penis and external gonads (testes).. women get pregnant, give birth and breastfeed their babies; men do none of those things.. men are taller than women.. men have greater upper-body strength than women.

men have greater bone density and percentage of muscle mass than women.. women live longer than men (this is partly due to life choices and behaviour and partly due to genetics).. men have higher testosterone levels than women.. men heal more quickly from physical injury than women.. the sexual dynamics between men and women tend to be different, too.

re sexual selection, women typically have their choice of the most suitable men.

Simon

What about these women? Are they stronger than the AVERAGE MAN

Which proves that men are stronger. Because you need the strongest women to beat average men ... and the strongest men will be way stronger than the strongest woman.

Look at the records in power events (being sure to exclude women's results where the competitor was really a man).

Superman and Captain America

by punkofnice in

i see that marvel are introducing a gay captain america as dc announce the son of superman is bi-sexual.. whereas i don't give a hoot about a person's use of their genitalia as long as it is consensual and not with kids, i'm finding all this 'inclusivity' becoming a bit boring.. are dc and marvel just virtue signalling in the hopes of selling comics and not being set on fire by the antifa frauds?

?.

Many corporations are cashing in on this

Except they don't cash in - usually it's a case of "get woke, go broke" because it's not what the audience want and the market is overestimated because all the gay / trans people have over-representation in the media. It usually just means that someone has got a position in a company where they are able to lead it down this dead-end path and into oblivion.

It's more todo with tearing down statues - destroying symbols and imagery that other groups find valuable, part of the culture war.

They can't create their own heroes from scratch, it seems. Likewise, companies are not born "woke", they are parasites that eventually destroy successful companies.

by Disillusioned JW in

what do you like about biden's build back better agenda & the democrat's build back better act?

is it liberal and progressive enough for you or do you wish it would go further?

Simon

They are robbing you, taking money that you have saved right out of your bank account and investments, be devaluing it and spending what they take on useless tat that will achieve nothing but enrich their cronies.
