Well, it represents at least one of the th sounds for English at least. Bring back eth too! (Ð/ð)

For me, fan score is a separate axis (how much fun is the film).

Yes but the html it generated was a monstrosity. If you wanted to edit it again, you better use dreamweaver.

I was not expecting a King Missile reference in 2026. Thank you.

It’s made by US Robotics, so it must be a positronic brain.

I think there’s a fine line between collaboration and committee (members of a band can collaborate to make good music). But capitalism definitely works against art.

Fifth Element was at the top of my movies that I would stop and watch when scrolling cable channels alongside Top Secret, Clue, and Shawshank.

You seem to be arguing for choosing a major with some job prospect, but Ford seems to be arguing for not taking any courses that aren’t directly beneficial to some economic purpose.

I disagree with Ford’s stance at least. As an old tech person, my non-tech uni courses were most beneficial to my overall capabilities in my tech job, at least in the long run. Creative writing, ethics, history, and tort law were things I took because they were interesting (to me at least). None of these had much relevance to tech as far as I could see, but I’ve been much better off for them.

Grateful Dead, especially live albums.

You are thinking only of the modern G rating. Go back in time a bit to find G rated movies like:

• 2001: A Space Odyssey
• Planet of the Apes
• The Secret of NIMH
• many John Wayne movies including True Grit

Just like society’s thoughts on what is generally acceptable, the mpaa rating system has changed quite a lot over the years.

“Everything excellent is as difficult as it is rare.”

Baruch Spinoza, Ethics (1677)

Very cool. It reminds me of Esao Andrews’ style.

It’s even worse if they’re using “criminal record” the same way the FBI has historically (arrested but not necessarily convicted on a felony charge).

I don’t have up to date numbers, but c.2016 the FBI considered ~29% of Americans to have a criminal record.

Of course they should. Where else would I get my snilk from?

A grand jury is a sort of sanity check on a charge, and does not count towards the trial. It is basically “with these facts (provided only by the prosecution), is there enough probable cause to move a case to trial?”. Double jeopardy in the 5th amendment has specific protections from going to trial multiple times or from getting multiple punishments for a crime.

The thousand injuries of Fascists I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge.

It is a ton of fun! A word of warning though: there are funky game mechanics stemming from its origin as a board game from the 80s.

I don’t hate sales as a concept. I just dislike the sociopaths who tend to work there.

Looks like it does, at least in “private spaces”

(I’m assuming that CA means California and not Canada)

Illinois requires two party consent for recording in-person conversations at least.
