The best Star Wars movie was the one with the tightest budget. Tight budgets make people more creative and efficient at problem solving because they make trade offs as opposed to just throwing everything in regardless of cost.

There is literally a major movie about this. OP really needs to be more careful.

“A fool and his money are some party!”

• strippers

Last time I was at a strip club—and it’s been a while—the two guys in front of us got in for free by showing their police badges. In fact the only times I’ve gotten into strip clubs for free was because we were with cops.

My wife’s grandmother divorced her grandpa because he wanted to leave Harrington Kansas. She ended up dying there in the late 1990s. Imagine never leaving Harrington Kansas.

We raised our lanai (this was in Honolulu) and enclosed it, had to raise the floor about 2 inches for it to match the rest of the living area. We hired some guys to do it.

8am Sunday a full sized cement truck pulls up and 11 Philippino guys gather, one of them was about 70 and his job was to crack open Heinekens.

They run the cement to the back of the house using a big half pipe and get the whole thing laid in about an hour. 2 guys stayed and watered it and kept it smooth as it set up. It was vey noisy, a helicopter flew over and circled for a bit, our neighbors were not thrilled.

Turns out there was a gigantic development burn built about a mile from us, the cement guys would skim loads and do peoples small projects on their way to the big development.

Far as I’m concerned we got an experienced crew to do a top notch job for a really good price.

I felt every second of this drama in my gut.

We are a little older and my wife decided we needed to replace our toilets with a nicer but frankly ridiculously expensive new toilets. I don’t think I have ever experienced such a powerful and instantaneous lifestyle upgrade.

Our water usage dropped by almost 2/3. I knew the old ones were leaky but wow that is a LOT of water.

And more importantly, these babies have never clogged or flushed incompletely. I feel like they could eat a litter of kittens in one flush, truly amazing.

We also drive a Toyota and I’d never considered the dangers there… glad we upgraded.

Beautiful.

Perthy McPerth-Face should also be considered.

When that really big one broke up over Russia I thought there was an article about how the far northern hemisphere was a more likely landing zone due to some gravitational issue but now I can’t find it.

You’re an asshole who has learned a valuable lesson (I hope). You move on with your life a bit wiser. Leave both those girls alone as they’re clearly out of your league.

I think a similar feeling is when you’re laid off or fired from a job at a company that then goes on to be more successful without you.

I’ve actually worked for small companies that thought they’d be better off without me and then they go into a death spiral when I’m gone.

But I’ve also had the opposite happen . :-/

When you get the “stalker alert” I believe there’s an option to say you know the tag and are ok with it following you.

The guy next to your dad is the dealer, the guy next to the dealer is the guy everyone had to front for with the dealer because he was always in and out of jobs.

Your dad still misses him but was glad he kept him at arms length.

This is a nice way of them saying if you have a small business and someone copies your account and pretends to be you they won’t do shit about it unless you pay the ransom.

Honestly even then they probably won’t do shit about it.

This is basically what George Michael was arrested for in the UK, go watch his letterman interview. It wasn’t THAT long ago.

That would keep everyone away.

I believe the standard of “people who consume the product know why to pay more for a good one” is pretty universal.

To your point number 2 you have to asks yourself if being a Star Wars story is more compelling or being a political thriller is more compelling. I’d say a good political thriller is more appealing at this point than another Star Wars story.

“Nobody” is watching Andor because I’m sick of having to understand a catalog of back stories before I can figure out what the f is going on in each Star Wars story. I don’t know who the characters are and I don’t care because the writers are too lazy to even remotely sketch them out for someone who isn’t a super fan.

Pedantic internet trolls have ruined story telling with their obsessive canon discussions of every possible show created. It’s an f’ing fantasy ok? It can be whatever the f it wants to be.

And don’t even get me started on Baby Yoda. Don’t show me a baby Yoda week after week and then get mad at me when I point and say “look it’s a baby Yoda”.

I just assume G is for Mormons and veggie tales.

We have them at Westfield Center in San Francisco. They’ve been there since the 90s.

A perfect recent example of how easy this is to fix was The French Dispatch by Wes Anderson.

Every bit of dialog was 100% crystal clear. Yes it’s a very simple and stage like show but my wife and I were stunned that we didn’t have to futz around with settings and subtitles to enjoy a movie for once.

Imagine if all the billionaires moved to the Metaverse and left the rest of us alone.

But I read it in Archie Bunker’s voice and it made me happy.

Meathead.
