"attended agile meetings and didn't kill myself or anyone else" is an achievement, I'm told.

Most content i dont like is original (Avatar) , or an adaptation of something i didnt like in the first place (Harry Potter). So I dont have a strong opinion. I *do* have a stronger opinion when it's an adaptation of something I was already invested in. Budget is just a proxy for failure of adaption

Thank you, sincerely, for dissecting that frog for me, i really appreciate it.

I feel like I've had a stroke. I still don't get it, sorry. (I don't think I'm usually like this...)

There's a joke here I'm not getting. Can someone please explain why it's not the 5th, 8th-10th or 12th-14th anniversaries?

True. I didn't have to spend $465m to do it either.

This! Primarily, Andor had something to say. All RoP had to say was "give us your money, peasants"

"has to" is the mistake you (and Amazon) are making here.

They do. And the socks go where they terminate.

My copy of the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy looks like i dragged it through a Magellanic cloud. When I want to read the book I have to use a newer copy cos the old one falls apart. I love it.

If paracetamol took half an hour (or more) to administer and you had to take it constantly, several times a week, forever, or it wouldnt work, it hurt taking it, it made you sweat and carried a realistic risk of injury, then probably no fucker'd take that miracle pill either.

Cars are fantastic if you feel you need a car, like me. If you don't, you don't. Baffles me why anyone would care about anyone else, beyond being thankful that thanks to you, there's one less car on the road/in the car park than there might have been. Cheers for that.

Actually physically painful

Indeed. 75kg is what i weigh. That'd be a serious hazard if they just dropped out of the sky (which they generally don't). 75g on the other hand is a medium sized bread roll, or a large duck egg. I think more than one respondent here made the same mistake you did but doubled down instead of checking

This actually made me laugh out loud. Thought you'd like to know

As the Aussies say - ah yeah nah.

Wholesome. Hope you thanked him, eventually.

I see, and appreciate, what you did there. Bravo!

Hansom profits to be made.

You would have an excellent point and I really would agree with you... If the original post hadnt specified 75 GRAMMES. About the same as a bread roll. Your entire argument rests on not reading properly and being wrong by a factor of a thousand.

You fucking idiot.

Yeah, because fascist authoritarianism over-reach is just like sexual assault. They're all out today.
