People are very bad at asking questions.

Some people will take dumb actions that risk their own lives rather than do something which would require a mild explanation later.

Experience and ability are not completely correlated.

I remember the college essay going over the word choice of that song.

Artists who have a ton of songs about it:

Spanish Love Songs: Routine Pain Pendulum and a lot more…

Off With Their Heads: Disappear Clear the Air and more…

Yeah. I had to adjust to the opposite when my mom stayed with me for a few weeks. At one point I was leaving my place and I didn’t want to say anything and she was asking a lot of questions as to what I was doing.

No, I don’t want to tell you where I’m going and this is my place so if I want to leave for a few hours, I will leave.

I’m taking off.

I wouldn’t because it is going to get misinterpreted by others. Trump supporters would argue that you’re defending the existing Iranian government.

Someone else suggested an upsidedown American flag, which feels appropriate.

Yes

I know my job is very important and I’m proud of my work. That said, I’m also burnt out.

An interesting thing about CAD is that the field got decimated in the switch to computers. You can choose to either go up the technical chain to be a great detailer or progress in CAD management since Autodesk and Bentley only do so much

There is a weird part of the human brain where there is a slight reset when entering a new room, probably to survey the new place for something that will kill you. It is the reason why people forget what they are doing when they go into another room.

In public, it is really annoying as there are people behind that person during their reset.

I could probably delete LinkedIn and still walk into several companies to get a job.

It is still good for me to have it out there as a public facing version of me.

The US is currently spending billions on an illegal war with Iran. It is hard to say with a straight face that we don’t have enough money for space exploration and social programs when we spend our money on that.

OP wants to post videos, not watch them. Nebula is invite only and generally only invites those with a decent body of work.

Years of practice from spammers and others.

I don’t see why not. Israel attacked oil infrastructure, showing this was as much an economic war as anything else.

Someone is going to have to plan the trip, still. Are you planning it? Is the retired family friend planning it?

How are the two of you talking about planning the trip together? Have you two discussed what the two of you want out of the trip? Does your friend know that one of the reasons you picked Vietnam was to drink, meaning they may end up with a hungover roommate?

Also, 45 days is a lot of time to be around someone. Plan activities where you two can be apart.

Given his script caveats to get him to star, you’re right.

Movies are going to go away because either no one has the attention span for them or they want a full season of prestige television.

I disagree with 4. Nic Cage is a great actor, he just isn’t going to give a subdued method actor style of performance.

I look at it more that Denis made a lot of choices to remove a lot of the more esoteric elements to fit that it was a movie and a sequel made years later. A lot was removed from the book, but it still feels well paced for two movies.

And if you’re going to make significant cuts, you might as well cut out the really weird shit.
