that said, there’s a 0% chance that it’ll be honestly translated
I'd say there's also a 0% chance they went to the time and expense to do their own translation for a blatant, shameless cash grab.

You know what really grinds my gears...

I know I deserve this for buying an Insignia, but I love Smart TVs that immediately go into a deafening trailer when you turn them on. No home screen, straight into a loud video. It's outrageous, egregious, preposterous. I have a similar complaint about audio/trailers playing on the home page of st...

You know what really grinds my gears...

I noticed the same. Makes the service pretty much unusable for music streaming. Add in commercials for Prime programming, and it's a steep downgrade. I should crunch the numbers and see how often I really use Prime shipping for purchases under $35 or whatever the cut off is. I bet I'm "losing" money...

I made it about 15 min into Poor Things and bailed. I like weird, but I just couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll try it again some time. I don't think Gladstone should have been nominated for lead actress. People say her character was the emotional heart of the movie, and maybe that's true, but it felt...

I ran into a former client (dad of a senior I photographed) yesterday. I hadn't seen him since the photoshoot years ago. I said hello and asked how he was doing. His response, "Just living in Biden's nightmare." No small talk, no hello back or asking how I was, just straight into a political rant. I...

So my homeowners insurance jumped from $1237 to $1445 a year. No claims. Nothing changed on my policy. I think it's gone up around $400 in the last two years now. Bastards.

It's good enough, imo, but I still think it's ludicrous that they didn't have S5 written (not even started!) before S4 ended. Yes, I understand how the unions work, etc. It still seems ridiculously poor planning from all involved, especially when dealing with "child" actors.

Yeah, I figured that might be the best option. I just didn't want to have to borrow my uncle's trailer to grab another sheet of ply. :lol: I already bought the framing lumber. I also thought 2x6s were overkill, but I figured it would raise it a bit further off the ground so... I'm pretty good at ove...

I'm getting ready to build a chicken coop for my mom, and I'm curious about a vapor barrier. The coop is basically a 4x8 shed. The base will be sitting on concrete deck blocks, so adding in the 2x6 framing and it's going to be about 12 inches off of the ground. I'm not putting in any type of pad or ...

We had a set at my grandparents' place, and we always played them at family picnics. No one died or lost an eye either.

Gonna be humorous to watch her endorse pissbaby after all of the talk from her about him being unfit to be president, etc. It's definitely coming. She will bend the knee.

Nixon's war on drugs was created to criminalize black people. It is almost single-handedly responsible for the US's problem with mass incarceration and has done an excellent job of perpetuating poverty and racism. As Ehrlichan said: “The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, ...

Yeah that's silly. I didn't think Foster was particularly good, though. She didn't have a ton to work with but I never bought her as that character, especially during the shouty bits. Agreed, and I love Jodie Foster. Maybe this was too far outside her wheelhouse or something. There was a moment in ...
