@toxy@RickiTarr the pair seeks to obliterate their awareness of how everything is dying for a moment and engage in a curious game to negotiate the ceremony
@wigbert@RickiTarr Yes, his idea of identifying the differing parties by colored banners was brilliant in those huge battle scenes. And Tatsuya Nakadai was brilliant as the aged king!
@VirginiaMurr@ParadeGrotesque@ccdudley85 Honestly, I wasn't even doubting God's existence or anything, I just had questions, but those questions usually end up in Well, you just have to have faith and we don't get to understand everything.
Sometimes the way people phrase things is so telling. For instance, telling women they should be "taking care of" their husband and children. Another adult doesn't need taken care of like a child, what you want is for women to be a Sex Mom.
Scott Adkins is a weird one. I'd sort of dismissed him as being some Z-list action wannabe, but then I watched some of his films - memorably the one where he goes to prison and becomes the hardest man in the world. I then checked out some other stuff and can see he's like the hardest-working actor in Hollywood, so was really thrilled to see his turn in Wick 4 and thought he stole the film. I wish him nothing but good things.
@RickiTarr
Yeah, and these weren't strangers mind you. These were relatives who we know don't have any challenges and have made it clear that they think "not liking working" is in itself a valid reason, just like "not liking water" is a valid reason to drink only Pepsi all day every day. They seem to be quite capable of doing work type tasks with gusto when they want to plan a party or spend someone else's money.
@RickiTarr I grew up with a collie who had powerful herding instincts. It drove him to distraction that my sister and I liked to play away from one another at opposite ends of the yard.
He always loved it when I told him to go get the chickens. He’d round them up and bring them to me. He got pretty mad at me the first time I took him to the beach. There was a flock of seagulls out on a sandbar. I told him to go get the chickens and he ran down to round them up for me. He was unimpressed when they all flew away. He never fell for that trick again.
You know the word queue is French, because they literally could have just spelled it "q", but there's four silent nonsense vowels at the end of it instead.
@RickiTarr yes it means tail but it also means "in line"
"À la queue" means in line. (The key factor here is added "à" which implies direction)
There are tons of words, pronounciations and expressions in French that make no sense at all, and if you ask the French, we're likely to say "because that's the way it is" 😂
The most ridiculous thing about cop procedural shows is when they ask where a person was, and what they were doing at a specific time the person always has perfect and immediate recall. I'd be desperately trying to remember what day of the week that was, and trying to open my phone calendar. If I was the cop, I'd immediately be suspicious of the person who remembered exactly where they were and what they were doing.
What is your dream road trip? Where would you start? Where would you end up? What stops would you make along the way? It can be short or long, whatever interests you!
@RickiTarr Fly to Ireland and drive the Wild Atlantic Way. We'd stop often and take our time driving from North to South and just soak everything in thoroughly.
