    [Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

    1:58 mark of that. Star lord dies from Pyroclastic flow. From wikipedia: He's dead. Set ON FIRE by 1,000 degree gases. Hell, it has the name "pyro" in it. It's HOT. And FYI the speed of sound (at sea level, of which they're clearly close enough on that island) is 761mph, which btw that...

    Funny (political, religious) pictures

    That pre-supposes that political parties actually FOLLOW their platforms, as opposed to them just being there to woo voters, but then they'll do whatever the fuck the people bribing them their major doners tell them to do.

    Funny (political, religious) pictures

    Truth perhaps, but how is that funny, other than "I'd rather laugh, because otherwise I'll cry" type of situation?

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Here's a CBC link on the story: Al Franken to resign from U.S. Senate amid new sexual misconduct allegations I would ask one thing though: Is he going to run again, or is this "permanent" for him? I ask because that trick was played out by a Canadian MP back in the 90s (Sheila Copps) where...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    When you move to a new area, it's kind of a necessity. This wasn't Dave's problem this time, but after an "odd" experience (I'll leave it there, one time only!) after moving to Kelowna, I knew how this kind of thing (not Dave's experience, different) could happen.

    Former President and Convicted Felon Trump Thread

    @Null you HONESTLY believe Clinton's "clean" on those, and wasn't using power and influence to shut them up? REALLY? I think that requires a lot larger "leap of faith" in this one than "they were intimidated to lie under oath once, and then after that they're totally screwed no matter what."

    Tech minor victory thread

    And Amazon would allow THEIR services to run on Alphabet/Google devices too. And would SELL them too. Basically, Amazon shot first. They pulled Chromecast and other Google stuff from their stores. And then didn't allow Prime Video to work on Chromecast either. So yes, Google has been...

    Mozilla vs Yahoo lawsuit: Yahoo sues Mozilla for breach of contract -- so Mozilla counter sues Yahoo So that's a thing. It's about how Mozilla had Yahoo as their default search provider in exchange for money. Mozilla dropped Yahoo early, so Yahoo is suing for breach of contract. Mozilla is...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Back when this originally happened, I remember reading an essay/post by a gymnast who was on the "Olympic Track" and then was just "out" as soon as she started developing. The cruel comments she reported from her former "friends" was particularly harsh. She was skinny in every other way, but...

    Former President and Convicted Felon Trump Thread

    I don't see Juanita Broaddrick or Paula Jones there. Oh right, they complained about somebody POWERFUL and so were ridiculed and attacked because their perpetrator was (and is) powerful. They weren't believed, and thus didn't start a movement. And it took Judd around 20 years to be believed...

    Also in the case of female competitors, no boobs. Messes with how you're doing everything with two big floppy weights up top.

    Funny Pictures Thread. It begins again

    For s split second there out of the corner of my eye, I saw "therapist" and interpreted "the rapist". I'm actually surprised I've never made that correlation before!

    I think that whatever Tarantino makes, it'll be memorable. I'd be interested to see the "Rogue One" treatment done to Star Trek, one-off films outside of the "usual" rules w/o usual characters.
