The Blockbuster Oscar Bait Movie Thread
Captain Marvel Meh. The Skrull commander was the best part of the movie for me. Black Panther I wasn't familiar with the canon so I was surprised the powers just came from a plant and anyone could do it. Killmonger was awesome. Ready Player One Fairly entertaining. Fantastic Beasts The Crimes of Grindelward Oh god make it stop.

Spider Man Homecoming and Aquaman. I enjoyed both more than I though I would.

The Food Thread
Tonight we went to a local restaurant where your table has a circular hole in the middle and they place a bbq. The food comes raw and you sit there and grill it. Two were some cut of beef, I think one was beef tongue (which was really good) and one was a cut of meat called "mino", which it turns out is beef stomach.

What you did today?
^The room service menu here is nuts. A plate of (presumably) high quality sushi costs 45000 Yen (around $450)! Today I m touring Asakusa and Akihabara.

Good luck, Calax! What neck of the woods are you living in now? In other news, I was surfing this page of weird genetics and it turns out I have sectoral heterochromia. My right pupil is half brown / half black. I always just called it my crazy eye. :shrugz:

Lions and tigers and triggers, oh my! Hilariously, "QQ" is a clown whistle and 60% of the time it works every time.- What you did today?
If youre going to continue to average 30k miles / year, you should get something cheap because its going to be worthless after 4 years anyway.- What you did today?
Im right there with you GD. My 2009 Camry is rocking 197K+ miles but Im just going to drive it into the ground. Not having an additional car payment is a godsend.- Weirder, More random, More Interesting.
Because of statements contained in paragraphs; 1, 5 and 8. Perhaps the WSJ states unequivocally that university participation is not mandatory?- New Scientific Discoveries, Part Drei
Oof, could you imagine technology behind a weapon powerful enough to push stars. I loved that show and remember being surprised it got canceled but Killjoys survived.- Politics and Statesmenship: A Forum Special Report
Exactly. Because he didn't know what is Allepo.- Weirder, More random, More Interesting.
^All that other stuff already existed so if the QQ score is completely voluntary then this is nothing more than signaling. "Look at me! Im even MORE disadvantaged!" I should have known.- The Athenaeum - Reading updates and Literary Review from the Obsidian Elite (this means you)

If the SAT is standardized, and the QQ score is standardized, how is it not the same for all schools? Its not mandatory? Just more virtue signaling? Can we circle back to someone paying off my mortgage or at least my kid college education?- Weirder, More random, More Interesting.
You bet I am! Ive 100% embraced someone else financing my life, because I deserve it. Each school is going to have a different hardship meter? Lol, that makes it even better.- New Scientific Discoveries, Part Drei

The "15 factors" are behind the WSJ paywall but we can probably guess a couple that weren't already mentioned: Minority Household income 2 Parents I mean really, its just affirmative action V2.0. Im sure if you tick the "minority", "no daddy" or "ate up with social anxieties" then you will shoot to the top of the list. BUT WAIT! That just gets you admitted! Since that student is already laboring under this unfair "adversities", there is no doubt they will not be able to finance their education either, so it will have to become a scholarship! Weve gone full circle but Im just glad everyone is included this time.- Weirder, More random, More Interesting.
SAT to use "Adversity Score". Bwahahaha, delicious, but at least this program should include all races.- TV & streaming thread
I haven't watched the 4th season on Netflix yet but the first 3 seasons were "alright", imo. Not to spoil anything, but I eventually was having a harder and harder time reconciling that Lucifer was so goddamn stupid about understanding humanity when hes literally been around since BEFORE humanity. - Weirder, More random, More Interesting.
