Yeah, but there's a whole group of redditors now identify as "brain fuckers" as in it's the ultimate act of power to put your dick inside some ones brain. Not even your brain is safe.
Once we finish the big MEGA GULP Coke, you'll have something to go in without having to leave. You're welcome. And then we'll leave the warm cup right there because we're generous and people like free lemonade these days.
Not sure I could pee into a cup in a public theater. I can hardly accomplish that in the doctor's office. And then to enjoy the rest of the movie with a smelly pee GULP in the seat next to me?
Every time I've done that, pee into a cup at the dr's office, I always filled it to the brim. I don't remember why I did that. Was it me trying to show off? Or was it me trying to be a little shithead and be difficult or weird? I don't know. Either way, you are CHUCK. Basically a celeb. We can't have you sit near pee, come on! We will have people for this. Highly trained Substack subscribers...pee handlers...dressed in all black. They take the cup and leave it far away so that you can enjoy the rest of Oppissheimer.
I did it once at a Bob Dylan / Van Morrison show because I didn’t want to miss a single song. Nearly filled it up and thought I’d have to sit and watch the river flow. Not ever doing that again…
My bladder certainly couldn’t, I tried my best. Good movie though but as I’m reading the biography I wonder why they didn’t make two movies out of it, there’s even more to Oppenheimer. I’d like to see them portraying his love for literature and his own poetry and how distant he was as a child, the girl he liked but never talked to and wrote about. It’s also interesting to read that he wasn’t sure what major to choose and if that had any impact on making the bomb, a sort of „what if“ he never went down that path, if the atomic bomb could’ve been prevented
Off topic, and on the subject of telling stories that get reciprocal stories. Craig and I were just trading stories and it reminded me of this Professor from U Calgary on a podcast. She talked about how when she was in an ivy league school, she returned home to rural GA, and her family thought she was crazy for politely asking questions, because they tended to trade anecdotes. And how to outsiders, it looks like one upping, but its just how they relate. May be a class thing, may be a city vs rural thing. Unsure. But I definitely grew up hearing a lot more stories than questions.
Relate to that. I grew up with story trading. It's only once I became a reporter that I became an "active listener" because it yielded more newspaper fodder.
Taking public speaking aka communications class 3 times made me an active listener. Alternate between anecdotes and questions, depending on the details. However, Im trying to learn to use silence more purposefully. You talked about it on Bilyeus podcast and it got into my head, but not into practice yet.
Dont like it when people just keep asking questions. I try to reciprocate, but they just bat it down and throw another question at me. Telling stories is great, but I love learning other people's stories, and how they process the world much more.
Do you recall the "drop out" portion in the Alanis Morrisette song? "All I Really Want" It creates such tension, then talks about that tension. Unless you're reading a story aloud -- and can fall to silence -- the only time you get that silent tension is at the cliff-drop end. That's why I love stories that end with a sudden reveal or suggestion of a vast new possibility.
This is very helpful. I forgot all about this song! Its fascinating to listen analytically. Her phrasing is very strange in that one.
I write a crappy poem first thing every morning to get my brain moving and aimed at something. The last line nearly always does this. Obsessed with subverting expectations.
The reveal in the story I just finished is in the second to last chapter, but there's also another reveal in the last chapter now that I think of it. Waiting for feedback from Maegan and another friend before I finally offer the whole thing up here on Substack.
Another message in Barbie. It's something I've learned even though I haven't seen the movie. If your foot is flat and not bent in a high heel shape, something is wrong with you.
Well I haven't seen oppenheimer, but I saw Barbie last Tuesday and that's not the message I got 🤔. And doesn't the issue of weight come down to Hollywood ideals (and media and social media) rather than singular movies? Plus Anorexia is a highly complexed disorder relating many variables (control, perfectionism and trauma being but a few) and not singularly caused just because you feel you should be thin.
Look. You have to understand that I’m a group like this, things will be said. Lots of things. You don’t have to agree, disagree, love, hate... but they will be said nonetheless. I love you for standing up for whatever it is that you are. Please don’t ever be quiet or feel like you can’t voice your opinion. Your opinion is welcome. And even if nobody else sees your post, I do.
I also agree with what you said. But shit happens when you party naked, and I’m pretty sure most of us are disrobed. Thick, thin. Young, old. Idiot (me), scholar. I don’t know why I’m saying all this... except for please don’t be quiet.
That was the film "Fox Catcher." Lots of eating and barfing.
But, but... if I'm not pretty no one will ever love me?! (sniff) Right?

Those are bots, I think.
They're called cognitive hackers and they are all absolute monsters.
That was an epic film.
My ass is too big for my britches.
I haven’t seen either movie.
Right? And I don't think my bladder can outlast a three-hour movie.
I can barely sit through a 2-hour showing.

What’s the title?
„American Prometheus, the triumph and tragedy of J.Robert Oppenheimer“
Thanks!
I don't own a scale. Now I'll never know if I'm smart or pretty.
My clothes tell me I'm a dummy.
Your clothes are lying to you 😜
Kate Moss Was on to something! Well now I know!

What the fuck is the banner graphic? Lol a new form of planking levitation?

I'm really pissed that today's superhero looks just like me!!!...Boobs and itty bitty waste!
So very not cool!
It’s telling, gratingly funny humor like this that raises the question: Has Hollywood lost touch?

I’ve been telling my girlfriend that for years.
On a completely unrelated note, any advice on field stitches for a meat cleaver to the face?

I'll go back to being quiet again now.
