I’m back. Didja miss me?

Have to politely disagree with Mr Ager’s analysis/conjecture. While I may concede that some abuse may have happened in Alex’s childhood, there’s no solid or even implied link to either parent being the abuser. Unfortunately, people hang for such circumstantial or presumed evidence. I’ll generously grant Ager that there may have been sexual abuse on the part of the law (Deltoid, police) and if any case may be made regarding the parents’ culpability, it possibly would be their turning a blind eye to the presumed sexual abuse (there’s a legal term for this but it escapes me at the moment).

What’s everybody getting so perturbed about? Geez. Isn’t this just like when an ethnic group uses an ethnic slur within their own circle? 🤣

admitting homosexual men into seminaries

Ooh, like that’s never happened before in the entire history of the Holy See. 🙄

Stay sick, scratch glass, turn blue, climb walls…but don’t get caught!

Does anyone speak hairdresser?

No. Not even hairdressers speak hairdresserese. Like drummers, hairdressers/stylists/barbers will all appear as if all their attention is 100% on your description but they are thinking about something within their social circle (hence the real concern on their face). Like drummers, if there isn’t some kind of natural affinity between you and who cuts your hair, you will never get what you’re looking for.

That said, many clients haven’t the proverbial “faintest idea” of what actually works for their face shape and stylists, if they’re not suffering too strong of a hangover 🤣, do try to work within those confines.

You can only go in with your remarkably clear and detailed description —still open to interpretation as your hairstyle is not an airplane fuselage, with precise measurements and tolerances—in hand and still hope for the best. Apologies for the length of this reply.

DISCLAIMER: my ex-wife was and still is a fine hair stylist.

Our RoboCop Remake is fine https://youtu.be/YyKPJbYTxno,

Now I know from where Charlie Kaufman stole appropriated that scene in I’m Thinking of Ending Things!

You evil bastard! Now I’m in the middle of it! 🤣

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory: sing me one song from it (without your cellphone). And the “father” angle sucked, and I mean, sucked hard.

Total Recall (2012): high-quality, totally pointless.

Really? Did you like Total Recall? How about Robocop? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

I loved A Scanner Darkly. I have to say of all the movies I’ve seen based on PKD’s writings, it’s the most faithful to the source material. Meanwhile, The Man in The High Castle, while you may find it entertaining, is not a “proper adaption;” being a TV series, how could it have been?

I also agree with @otacon239@feddit.de regarding Richard Linklater’s Waking Life, which was like an animated version of Linklater’s first film, Slacker, also on the “must-see” list.

One last thing regarding Waking Life: that movie was like the dry-run, stylistically and technologically, for A Scanner Darkly.

Ain’t it fun?

“No more realistic super heroes,” he says! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

To steal from paraphrase George Carlin, “no more jumbo shrimp! No more hot-water heaters!”

Oh, absolutely. Where would you put that impossibly quantifiable number? 10? 10,000,000? More? Less?

My point being that every gun-owning household in the United States isn’t like yours and with almost weekly occurrences like the Oxford school shooting, the Michigan State University shootings of 2023, the Perry, Iowa school shooting, even the Detroit five-year-old who shot himself in the face among his playmates while their parents were out of the home, or the Lansing toddler who did the same with his father’s gun…

…it’s hard to believe that your family is anywhere near the norm. You are 0.1% of 0.1% (yes, I made that up too).

If this heartwarming story of responsible gun ownership is actually true, Mr/Ms Anonymous Voice On The Internet — y’know, because I believe every anecdote I read on social media — you are probably one of <1000 people in 336,000,099 (the 2024 population of the United States).
