That's a fair point. Maybe bundle a lesser known sport with the really popular ones and alternate showing so that you can have rest and review periods for both?

Maybe even hold the different sets of events in their most suitable months so it's not just one smorgasbord but bite sized world competitions.

Well that's a shit way to put it.

Biden was an ok choice and he was still polling strong. Him deciding to abstain from the final run doesn't mean he was a bad choice, not does it make any of your analysis correct.

Also: You're still a doomsaying asshole. Not once did you make a reasonable argument supported by data other than your feelings but you continued to push out "If we keep behind a president who has arguably been extremely effective at doing shit, we're handing the election to the guys who eat horse paste and spent double Bidens addition to the deficit for tax breaks while screaming about fiscal responsibility..... because he's a couple years older than the other guy and seems like he's old instead of spouting gibberish and easily proven lies".

With Kamala now the democratic nominee?

I'm not a big fan of former law enforcement (prosecutor at least) being in charge but everything else she's done seems to at least suggest that she takes her jobs seriously along with the responsibility they entail.

I'm waiting to see who the VP is before I get too gung ho, but so far I'm pretty on board.

I don't know exactly why Biden waited so long to decide not to run again but I am happy he provided a good bit of shielding and wasted a ton of the GOP's money on attack ads that can almost be mirrored for free against their nominee.

I think we're gonna see some really ugly rhetoric from the right over her being the nominee and that doesn't make me jazzed. I worry that it will spark another rise in anti immigrant/minority rhetoric and violence like the BS about COVID did, and I work in and among minority groups so I worry what it will do to their outlooks on their future and how they feel about the country they are a part of.

Any specific aspect you want to ask me about or is that just a generic response request?

Yeah but you could say the same about a lot of people. Doesn't mean it's a "good movie" so much as a lot of people want to see that person in a thing and would pay regardless of what the thing is.

That's the attitude that gives us the race to the bottom in creative work

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Well, yeah. But that's an exception to the rule not the rule itself.

I mean, it probably will be cheaper while also being a logical move for what could be a dope passion project.

Good movies don't need big name actors to be good, they need a good story, good world, and a cast that can pull off the immersion with a director that knows how to harness it all together. Big name actors are just a draw and I would argue a lot of the time they don't help so much as ruin immersion a bit.

Like in nineteen ninety-eight when the undertaker threw mankind off the top of hell in a cell.

Sounds like teaching.

I thought that was the way for them to say it was more of a passion project than a full AAA film. Like, when directors know the material and do a trial run of what their view is to test the waters for a massive sequel.

Also probably cheaper.

Ah yeah, I meant that the peppercorn gave a numbing taste along with the chili's that give a spicy taste.

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yeah, it's a different kind of spicy where it's a tingly numbing spice instead of just heat.

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (5 children)

There's a jerky I get every time I swing through a region overseas that uses Sichuan peppercorns and lots of chili flakes/seeds. Spicy and numbing, really tasty and can't really find anything like it back home
