They wouldn't last a week in fast food. "The market is speaking, and there are some states that want to put their thumb on the market," Rothstein said in an interview. "Texas taxpayers, unfortunately, will have a burden of hundreds of billions of dollars based on this decision." I will be surprised if Texas does not implode from these dumb decisions within a decade or two.

I can understand where you're coming from and agree that Aliens is a big fall from Alien (I have not seen Top Gun and do not intend to), but still I think on the merits of the films themselves Aliens is better than Maverick. Perhaps this is just my weird self, but I usually try to judge films in a vacuum. The more I think about Maverick the more its popularity puzzles me. I can see the appeal of less overt CGI effects (despite some claims of being all practical, there are over a thousand CGI assisted shots in Maverick), but so many films have done that and have been more solid in all other areas. Maverick is like a hollow candy, when you crack open the spectacle of REEEEEL PLAAAAANES it's just hot air about a 60 year old man's long midlife crisis. Just this year we've seen Everything Everywhere All At Once and Three Thousand Years of Longing drop kick the absolute **** out of Maverick, and hell ELVIS was a better time than Maverick, so why the hell is the scientologists war crime adventure so damn enduring? Really grinds my gears. Seriously Anyways.............Three Thousand Years of Longing is in the same tier for me as Everything Everywhere All At Once and I recommend it to anyone. I want to see it again because it really does give you a lot to think about and works better after a night's sleep. Between that and Bram Stoker's Dracula I guess it means I like bittersweet supernatural romances.

I'm not a fan of Aliens but Top Gun: Maverick was worse.

Lemon butter salmon with rice and roasted vegetables. Very nice and healthy. Dios mio. I too love the smoke, but I'm trying to eat less pork and sausage. If the rye bread is the thing turning you off it works as a wrap (nb4 I get called a monster) but you absolutely need the dressing. -

Unless you're building to use claws or a bite, it's pretty useless for a Barbarian. -
Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022) Somehow, George Miller has followed up the excellent Mad Max: Fury Road with a romance film that feels....reserved for a spexial effects heavy film about a Genie Djinn. It's very good, Tilda Swinton is great in almost anything she does and Idris Elba nails the djinn. The special effects are have a surreal effect to them that really makes the fairy tale aspect of the film work beautifully. I'm not sure how to say more without spoilers, but I highly recommend it.

For a CN barb I think Azata is probably the best. You've got several abilities that work well with melee builds or are generally powerful combined with a super animal companion. If you go Legend, I think Bloodrager* is a poor companion to barbarian due to overlap and rage/bloodrage being exclusive (I think). Vivisectionist is an incredible fit for any weapon based class, but really any of the other full BAB classes and rogues will probably get more mileage than the bloodrager. *I'd argue that for all intents and purposes, the Bloodrager is a better Barbarian in virtually every aspect. You can even grab an archetype that let's you pick up barbarian rage powers. -
I've seen that myself, but given who it typically comes from I think it's just a pattern of supporting things that benefit businesses and the wealthy. All things considered direct aid to people would be more efficient than paying businesses to (hopefully) pay people in situations like covid, but around half of American politicos will lose their **** at the very though of giving away money to individuals so here we are. Of course, I highly regret not having started a podcast so I could have gotten six figures in PPP cash. I think it's a couple of things. First, we have a generational gap with the boomers having no idea of what the modern world is actually like regarding education, employment, housing, etc. Secondly, I think there's a dissonance where folks of right-leaning political alignments simultaneously view poor and working class folks as having it very good while downplaying how good upper class folks have it, to the point of the WSJ infograph you posted portraying 200k+ incomes as normal. Combined you have a block of people who are not only ignorant of the reality of student loans (and the economics of being poor to working class in general) but also ideologically hostile to anything to materially help out such as student loan forgiveness or minimum wage increases. A number of people who would be responsible for hitting Trump legally are ideological allies of his who would cut him slack for political reasons. Even if Trump does face legal consequences for this, getting him a pardon will be a day one act for any Republican president. I will be very surprised if Trump faces any consequences at all.

It's been a while since I've played, but I remember wishing he'd have more impact on Azata given that he's the other CG god. -

What about deception based kinks? While Cayden is objectively the best diety in Pathfinder (fite me irl sobriety), I wish there was more to the him in WotR than getting slipped a divine beer. At least on the Azata path, I heard there's some stuff for him in Trickster but have not confirmed. -

If you don't mind using mods, Tabletop Tweaks brings in a feat called undersized mount, which allows you to mount your size or smaller. Generally I recommend TT as a good balanced* set of tweaks that makes some things more viable and nerfs (if u want it to) the most broken stuff. * -
(Some of) The same people complaining got substantially more of their PPP loans forgiven. I guess some bucket drops are different than others. Now what broke my brain is seeing someone who thinks bachelor degree salaries start at $125k. Man, a **** ton of jobs require a bachelor's just to get in the door and they pay less than half of that. I wish I lived in the fantasy world these clowns imagine.

You're also missing What Did Jack Do? A short film pastiche of neo noir where David Lycnh interviews a monkey. I haven't seen On the Air, Hotel Room, or The Straight Story. Restorations of Lost Highway and Inland Empire were released this year, so maybe when (hopefully) they get a home media release you can check them out like that if you're interested.

So the blade ain't so proverbial? My suspicion has proved correct. For me that was my first David Lynch film, THE David Lynch film if you will. I had never seen anything like it before, having only been exposed to trashy horror films and big movies at that point. I couldn't quite get it at first, but I knew that I had seen something profound. I highly recommend it, but it is a tough watch.
