There was a king called “Cnut” - English/Danish name.

Beautiful. If I owned a gallery I’d showcase your art if you allowed me to.

Have you written your will?

You are not wrong… and that’s the problem. Even if there’s some (any) truth in whatever bile he vents I know he only says it because he’s a grifter and primarily sees it as a chance to unbankrupt himself.

“People” on 9gag think he’s a hero - along with the orange guy, that Canadian benzo junkie and that bald women hater and his brother. Why?

S Y-L is the only person on this planet that I will consciously deadname. Fuck him.

Have you just come here from 9gag?

If any South African lets you cook at their braai (BBQ) then you have achieved legendary cooking status.

If your spicy food has no flavour other than heat then that is a chef problem. Thai food has incredible levels of flavour. And is also very spicy.

Probably because one of those Afghan whores flashed a bit of wrist at some pious innocent man who was trying to go about his day.

/s - like you hadn’t guessed.

These badboys exist - tempted to get the hotspot and navigation version.

I’m sure they were both absolute beauties, Granny and her friend.

Without wanting to sound pretentious but that is the magic of any art. Somebody of the time looks at it and goes “meh” and then someone decades later sees it and goes “yeah, I like that”. Horses for courses; and all that.

I personally think the key thing is being able to distinguish between that which isn’t for you, versus stuff that is objectively poor. And now I do sound pretentious… smh. Sorry.

I’d hoped for more from that film, but thought it was ok. Sorry to hear your experience. If I wasn’t in Gnu/Linux land right now I’d try and make some joke about Windows meeting a window.

Off the top of my head: Wizard of Oz, Gone With The Wind and, especially, Casablanca were, in my opinion, worth the hype… but I understand user experience varies.

That’s the exact comment that partly inspired me to post off topic…

I guess it’s perspective and all that. I can understand not personally liking any particular film, that’s fair enough, but SOME of the reasoning in this thread is fundamentally flawed.

I like these threads when people complain that “old classic movie” is formulaic and trope ridden or unoriginal… seemingly forgetting these films set the tropes, formulas and genres that all subsequent film makers hopped-on. That’s why, in retrospect, it appears clunky.

In another similar thread somebody said the band Queen were boring… yeah, maybe now. But fifty years ago when they first released? Not so much.

Hand dryer, you say? Oh…

I use my laptop as a tool - no real idea how it works. If Linux nerds are mechanics then I’m just a taxi driver. Use mint. I do. Zero regrets. Caveman compatible.

Fair point.

Yeah - I’d always thought it would be called a Pom but just before posting I checked Wikipedia and apparently we’re both wrong. I know what you mean, though.

My mate’s little sister was sad and bemused one Christmas when their parents bought her a (single) Pom-pom. Why would you not buy a pair?

Hip-hop is like special fried rice. All types of left over bits and pieces recooked and mixed together to make something new.
