No one is deluding themselves into thinking that will happen. The alternative, voting for Trump, however, is unacceptable.

Don't anybody tell her that the Fediverse exists. It might break her brain.

You don't have to shoot missiles indiscriminately into civilian zones. If your enemy is hiding among civilian infrastructure and/or using human shields, you need to change your tactics up to suit. Committing war crimes in order to kill your enemy isn't how you retain the moral highground.

So, in your mind, rules of engagement allow destroying civilian infrastructure that currently hosts many civilians so you can kill a handful of bad guys?

You can tell who the introverts and who the extroverts were during the pandemic. For those that got to stay at home:

Extroverts: "My mental health is crumbling! I'll never be the same after this. Literally the worst thing that's ever happened to me!"

Introverts: "I just beat a handful of games in my backlog, read 4 books, started learning how to make Chinese food at home, and I just started learning Spanish on Duolingo. I'll never be the same after this!"

Imagine trusting a 3rd party to keep every single one of your passwords. That literally defeats the purpose of using passwords if you keep them all centralized. You're supposed to MEMORIZE your passwords. Kindergarten shit.

It's a masterclass in acting, cinematography, and soundtracking. Not only that, but Mario Puzo's novel which came out shortly before the movie was produced was a smash hit.

In the 70s, movies didn't look like The Godfather. They looked like weird objective cameras put on a tripod and just filming actors, with not as much thought put into the "feel" of the film. FFC (as well as other directors such as Hitchcock and Kubrick) essentially invented modern cinematography. Remember watching Avatar for the first time? It was kind of like that for movie going audiences.

It was always hailed as an "epic drama" so you have to kind of temper your expectations based off that. It's not a "murder a minute" gangster flick like a Scorsese picture.

No, they're seen as more productive because they are more productive. Being a night owl means you're drunk/high and gaming.

Have a regular PC hooked up to the TV. That's my smart machine. I control every aspect of it. Fuck Smart TVs.
