What is your most "Fuck you, this is actually awesome?" take?

I literally have one, why does someone have to say that every time. There are reasons to have a truck.

And also a disregard for safety and the energy consumption ending up costing way more for the American worker. -
Ok, but it's clearly not. On more than one occasion, I've loaded up large appliances or furniture with a van only to learn that it won't fit through the back hatch, or there are cubbies and curves inside that cut the corners. Even if you have plenty of empty space inside, you have to fit it through a smaller keyhole. I have been stuck with a half empty back and a tied down hatch because the opening wasn't big enough to get the whole thing in.
With an open bed truck you can just drop the tailgate or drop it in from above.
I can tell you have a real hard on for vans, but just ignoring facts because they don't fit your stance is ignorant. I've never even owned a truck, so I don't care about defending their honor or any bullshit like that, but you have to give them credit where it's due, and they haul like nothing else, even vans.

French stuff at it's best!
Never knew it was French, really good work! Also never realized how many episodes there were, might be worth a revisit...

Working out. Used to think it was too hard and I didn't have time. Pushed myself, started exercising at home and it's snowballed to protein loading, supplement taking, and lifting to failure. It's good to feel like jelly.

Vans are about the same price as trucks, so it would actually be cheaper to buy a truck in the first place than spend the same amount on a van, and then spend even more time and money disassembling furniture or renting a trailer.
I've owned a lot of vans because I needed the capacity for kids. I've never personally needed to own a truck.
They each have their own purpose and one is not always better than the other.

Nickelback. I don't know why they get so much hate, their music is actually decent
It was like the stars aligned when Nickelback guy married Avril Lavigne. Canada’s finest together at last!

High school of the Dead. I watched the anime because of that titty/bullet gif. I freaking loved that show.
Not so much the piss scene, but still.Yes, indeed, please share the source for that piss scene. Asking for a friend.

Now that’s a spicy take
I enjoy the heels (what I've called the ends of the loafs) because the crust helps with the structure of the sandwich. The fillings are less likely to break through the crust and spill out compared to the open pocket structure of the insides of the loaf.

Alien, zombie, monster, catastrophe, etc movies and shows. Obviously not all of them, but the genre in general.
Many people complain these shows only work because the characters act stupid, and it's true.
BUT:
a) what's the alternative? Not having these shows at all?
b) People are stupid even without a catastrophe. What makes you think we suddenly all develop a brain when there's an alien invasion, or zombie outbreak? If Covid showed us anything, than that there's a very large part of the population who'd go out of their way to act against everyone's best interest.There are quite a good few movies where they don't act brainrot levels of stupid, though. In fact, the only movie series I can think of (not in the headspace to pull up a ton) where they're explicitly stupid is the Final Destination movie series... and Tucker & Dale vs Evil, but they're supposed to be stupid in that one (and it's great).
I don't mean curious where they should be scared, but, "duhh I'm running towards the monster/danger" dumb. That stuff jumps the shark so easily.
Maybe some of the newer shitty horror movies like the poobear one, popeye, peter pan, and bambi ones? Though TBH, they were on in the background and I barely even remember their plots, let alone how dumb the characters were...
Sometimes the "normal" levels of dumb are fully explained by the writers not having the time/screen time to pull off a "smart" reveal, too. They just need something to happen, so it does. Fully forgivable if the rest of the movie is good, IMO. Unless it's like... the established smart and level-headed character suddenly fucking up big time where they shouldn't even be panicking or something. Then it's always annoying. lol

I used to be one of those people, that good and bad movies were black and white. I was stupid for thinking so.
Movies can be good for different moods and audiences. Sometimes I want to watch a heart wrenching drama, Oscar style, and I can get up after it and think wow that moved me. That is a good movie.
Sometimes I'm feeling in a funk and I don't know what to watch, o I want to watch giant robots punch aliens with minimal plot. That movie is also good, just for a different mood.
Even the really crappy movies that are arguably not even in the "so bad it's good" area can be a fun time. At least to laugh at the movie.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Ok, hot take, you can't judge the bread as a slice by itself. It's the context around the slice that matters. For example, dry foods can be good when paired with non dry foods. But on their own, I'm not a fan of dry foods. I can see the end of the loaf being good when paired with the right filling. But in the context of a slice of buttered toast, I don't really want the end of the loaf.

Honestly I don't consider them plot holes. 'Don't try to understand it' was not only directed at the protagonist. The premise is pretty much what if we simply accepted this impossible mechanic.
I wouldn't call them plot holes in any case, unless the details change where the plot should've headed or skip things? It sounds more like missed continuity/nonsense issues for the universe itself. So... plain writing mistakes/oversights?

For sure. Texture is definitely important in context.

See here's the controversial take. I don't agree with you at all. It was literally built up for the entire series and was the only natural conclusion. She was literally saying "I plan to break the wheel" from the start. That is not language a peaceful person uses. Her goals to begin with were those of a conqueror, and what we got was the natural end of that ambition when it crashes into reality.
I think it was done beautifully, and the fact so many people bought into her side of things and felt betrayed is evidence of how well done it was.
Nah, like they said... It's not that it happened, it's how it happened. She had never before turned on "her" people. She hadn't even really ever turned on civillians so openly, either. It was definitely, unquestionably, rushed character development.
It's not that she went nuts, or even the specific, individual events. It's how quickly she's just suddenly cool with wasting people she wanted to rule. She was a relatively sane, motivated leader for years, maybe even decades, and suddenly, so close to victory, she drops any and all well established moral boundaries she's clearly defined?
That's... not how crazy works. At all.

Hard no on the food, but I'm with you on Never Gonna Give You Up. I sometimes klick obvious rickrolling links just to listen to it.
I also unironically like Wonderwall.
The music is good, I just cannot stand that droning "singing" voice...

Charlie Kirk would approve... Well, he would now I mean. SCNR
Too soon?
someone shot charlie kirk?
goddamn the trump admin will do ANYTHING to distract from the epstein horrors

Nickelback had a VERY distinctive style, to the point you could mix their songs together "This is how you remind me to wish you'd unclench your fists" style and people wouldn't notice. They're relative lack of range caused them to wear out their welcome a LOT faster than average.
They deserve every last dollop of shit they got for No Fixed Address though.

The shooter did demonstrate excellent control of that gun. Put a bullet through a carotid artery from beyond "saw it coming" distance.

There's simply no reason why a GPU should have proprietary drivers, when that is a core, basically inseparable part of a computer. You literally NEED one to see what you're doing with your computer (yes, integrated graphics also count).
I mean, imagine if your sound card had proprietary drivers. The world would go nuts.
Printers should not need drivers anymore. There should have been a standard protocol for them by now.
