I’m going to echo the suggestion to approach men (and later women) for whatever reason to practice approaching people you don’t “have business” with.
Ask a question, comment on something benign (cool shirt?), etc.
And also expand your list of contexts where it’s ok to talk to people.
Anywhere that groups of people gather is a good option. Concerts, cafés potentially, parks…as long as you aren’t cornering anybody, you should be fine.
I think those films generally fall into the either the “don’t know how to turn it into a movie” or “the fans will buy anything” camps.
Now, gaming movies are getting bigger budgets and such, and probably more involvement from the game companies.
EDIT: Also, the IPs now have way more fans than they did before. Thinking of SMB, at least
Newspapers used to be displayed in boxes, and available for sale almost vending machine-style.
I imagine headlines were “buy-bait” back then. But maybe they weren’t quite as good at it, since it hadn’t been studied as much?
English would also be unrecognizable in 1375. At a glance, it seems like it was Middle English, which means you’d probably get as much intelligibility with any other English speakers as a monolingual Dutch speaker would have with a monolingual English speaker today. Maybe a bit closer, but still.
Shakespeare was still hundreds of years away.
…Not that any of this would matter to anyone living in North America.
… you’re looking for what? Lol
After an episode of The IT Crowd was criticised as transphobic, Linehan became involved in anti-transgender activism. He argues that transgender activism endangers women, and has likened the use of puberty blockers to Nazi eugenics. Linehan says his views have lost him work and ended his marriage
your options are shite and I refuse them all is a valid vote, why make it harder for someone to choose that than necessary?
The only way that’s communicated is by officially declining the ballot. And I agree with the other commenter that it should be easier to do this.
By not voting, you’re communicating “They’re all fine; I can’t be assed to pick”.
Amazing find and well worth the read!
You don’t actually have to fill out the ballot. You can tell the voting officer that you decline it, you can write profanity on it, or you can vote for your dog.
It’s a minor civic duty. Much less onerous than jury duty, lol
I pay $27.12 (taxes in) for more data than I need per month (~12GB). Grandfathered Freedom Mobile plan.
Yes. There’s the .ml instance. If they’re from there, they are a troll!

Wouldn’t it be better if you started a year early so you can give him a heads-up on everything when he starts the next year?
This way you can put your boyfriend first and yourself first. Seems like a win-win to me.
Unless you’re wanting to do this because of some other underlying issue that you haven’t disclosed (risk of jealousy? Anxious attachment style?).
Be good to those you meet on your way to the top because you never know who you’ll see again during your fall to the bottom.
Heard this and it stuck with me. Not because I was “mean”, but it’s just a good perspective on why even someone utilitarian (or psychopathic) should be nice.
What if (god forbid) she lost her beauty? What if one of the people she was mean to attacked her face causing permanent damage? The others will remember that she was mean to her and show her no sympathy.
Big dogs shouldn’t eat small dogs. They should protect them.
“Brian”…?
Typo/autocorrect for “bran”?
It’s a great word. It can be almost any part of speech/grammar!
14 isn’t old, it’s not even legal age to buy cigarettes.
I’ll do some weird math.
The first computer game could be argued to have been released in 1950, and the first commercial video game was released in 1971. Let’s call it either 70 or 50 years ago.
14 years is 20~28% of the entire history of video games.
The first feature film came out in 1906; let’s call it 120 years old. So let’s calculate what 20~28% of this history of film is.
20% of 120 years is 24 years, and 28% is 33.6, rounded to 34.
So if you compare them by the “commercial video game vs. feature film” definition, a 14-year old game is like Beauty and the Beast, Hangin’ with the Homeboys, or Showdown in Little Tokyo.
If you want to use the “youngest” ratio, then we can compare Skyrim to films that are just 24 years old, like Shrek, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, or Spy Kids.
I dunno, I think 14 years old is an old game! Haha
What is a Personal Pronoun?
A whole bunch of angry Americans would fail to answer that question correctly these days…
Doesn’t this kind of depend on where you live? Lol
I’m not investigating those bullet points. First thing I’m doing is trying to get help for myself, and getting “help”/police for the dead person. And also a lawyer for myself.
Getting help for myself includes contacting people at home, confirming the timeline and alibi.
