But they did seem to pick the right photo to get him to click, lol.
Spammers and bots are everywhere and I'm always suspicious. I had two requests on Instagram from incredibly attractive looking pictures wanting to message me. How dumb do you have to be to think they are real?!?
Although you wonder ... is some babe confused why no one will be her friend?
has anybody seen secretary (2002), starring maggie gyllenhaal and james spader?.
it's kinda weird and surreal, like something david lynch could have made.
also, the film was scored by long-time lynch collaborator angelo badalamenti.
Did someone recommended it to you? Or you just watch it just because?
Just because. I like quirky low-budget movies that are well done. That was low budget but 1,000x better than many big budget productions. Fantastic imagination and creative writing.
Reminded me a little of "Time Lapse" in atmosphere and how it made you question things (not in plot at all). In that one, a group discovers a camera pointing at their window that takes pictures from 24 hours into the future.
Unless it is Primer
Touche.

Sounds like 50 Shades of Grey? That was unwatchable ...
We watched "Coherence" a few weeks ago. That's a low-budget movie but it was INCREDIBLE!
I'm not going to give any spoilers, but it was a kind of down-to-earth / real life environment, but sci-fi. Very thought provoking.
I love movies where I'm still thinking through implications and "what ifs" days later.
Don't get me started on "Primer" ... that messes with your head, and warning: do NOT watch it with someone who doesn't pay attention to a movie and is prone to asking you "what's happening" or "who's he?"
It may even help to watch the explainer before the movie ...
saluting the flag was something not encountered very often here in the 1970s uk, in fact that kind of nationalism or patriotism was something i'd been warned about as a young boy, being brought up in the jehovah's witnesses from age 4, through meetings and the publications.
at some point, i don't know when, i decided it was more american, whether rightly or wrongly.. but even so, there was a large black and white photo of our entire school in panoramic format right outside my classroom on the wall saluting the flag, and i think this was the 1977 25 year jubilee of queen elizabeth ii.. now as a young person attending a fairly religious school in the 1970's, you were used to "making a stand" for things, letter in hand first day in a new class, and being ushered into one room or another to avoid religious assemblies and other xmas, and other seasonal celebrations.. one day the teachers, in their abundant wisdom, stood myself and a younger witness in the corridor right outside the assembly hall where the children would filter past.
every second or third child that filtered past would ask, "why are you standing there?
And there was in fact, no coin set forth coming for me.
Teachers can be shitty people. I feel bad that you missed out, and didn't get the snack-food-feast I enjoyed.
And back in the day, crisps had way more in the packet than the empty air-pockets we get nowadays.

Sounds artsy.
So no super-heroes then?
Can't see how anything without super-powers can succeed nowadays ...
i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.
it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.
plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.
Abortion should be safe, legal and rare, which it clearly wasn't. But the only issue is whether it was a legal right under the constitution at the state level, which also, it clearly wasn't. This is correcting a previous piss-poor decision.
It shouldn't be used as lazy / stupid birth control or relationship-retaliation for Springer-show-wannabes.

We will need to deal with the wave of coming violence from left-wing extremists
It won't happen, they are controlled by the left and the left are currently in power and things are already bad enough without them making things worse. So the protests and riots will be postponed until the next conservative president is elected and then they will suddenly remember and be outraged about it.
They also have a messaging problem because they "sold" Roe vs Wade being overturned as conservatives banning abortion ... and yet it isn't banned, is it?

It wasn't until multiple texts on Twitter that we both came to an understanding and now I feel like we have respect for each other.
Texts in private vs public posts. Can you not see how different those two things are? Only one of them means anything to anyone but you.
Simon, I get your point, this is your online home and being respectful is your number one policy. Taylor was not at all respectful that day, even Taylor agrees with that now. Sometimes a second chance is warranted.
And yet their public posts, trying to rally a mob to retaliate, are still there. So they don't feel so different that they will actually do anything meaningful ...
Do you not imagine that people like this haven't perfected ways to be manipulative to get what they want? You give them what they want, but they don't change or do anything.
You were played.
But what freedom of speech and expression would Taylor have trampled on if she asked you politely to modify pronouns directed toward her?
Again, step back further. When do people's pronouns typically come up in any discussions we have? What have they todo with this topic? Never, and nothing. So why even ask?! If you want to take part in a discussion, take part as a regular poster. Don't arrive like the Cool Aid man and then complain that people treated you differently - you forced them to!
The majority of people on this site are anonymous. All we know about anyone is what they tell us, and if someone says they are "he" or "she" that is what people then use. That's all they had to do, but they didn't. They wanted to make some LGBTQ issue out of nothing, for no other reason than to be disruptive.
Also, you don't have the right to say anything you want on this site or any site. That is not how freedom of speech works.

as long as she asks nicely, then what is the big deal?
They didn't ask nicely though, that's the point. All this "they seem nice to me" is BS because what they actually did shows they were not intending to be nice. So they get the response it warrants.
I don't respect people who appear out of nowhere trying to cause trouble for me.
But anyway, this is all off-topic so I think this is done now.
