Then they are dead in less than 10 years by current averages. I understand the people that "love" their job, but there is so much more to life than working. When financially able, quit working and start living.


I agree. For a lot of people, a lot of lawyers and doctors and such, they killed off that logical part of their brain decades before.

They don’t know any way to function other than to keep working. Very sad.

Compounding interest is a helluva drug


Yep. That’s why a lot of people work and save to a big number at 60-65.

Then they think “I worked my whole life for this, I still kind of enjoy my work, and you’re telling me if I work another 6 to 8 years I can double my total net worth?”

Then they hit 70 and have that same conversation again.

I never saw it until like 10+ years after it came out and it held up well. 1999 might be the GOAT movie year. The sequels though...


1994 says calm down.
I’d imagine the first round of troops would be wrecked. Not just from direct hits, but from introducing a new form of mass killing to the battlefield.

The next wave of attackers might be too battle shocked to be of much use.

But then the leaders would figure out just to rush you with everyone they have like a zombie hoard. You won’t be able to stop that.

Hell, the first wave or two may get you anyways if they don’t stop cold in their tracks when a good chunk of them get mowed down. I’m just assuming the shock of it would have an impact.
Depending on what they’re cooked on, don’t underestimate the value of having the same thing you cook at home cooked on a pan or cook top that has tens of thousands of pancakes under its belt.

It makes a difference.

Just terrible, her family must be sick with worry around the clock. I wonder what led to such an outcome....


A kid can go crazy in any family, I acknowledge that, but if I had to bet I’d put money on family issues being part of the problem here.
My mom comes from a big family. One of those where her oldest brother has kids that were basically the same age that she was and I’m the same age as my uncle’s grandkids.

That uncle has a farm and a duck camp and a deer camp. He has always randomly declared work weekends and a mandatory draft.

Everyone is eligible for the draft. My cousins, friends of cousins, grandkids, friends of grandkids, nephews, grand-nephews, spouses who married in to the family, everyone.

He’s 94 now and a few of his great grandkids are getting close to draft eligibility.

Odd seeing Cerci Lannister in her role in this one.
They didn’t even remove the extra blue pad after hiding half the loot and calling the authorities.

Thats just lazy.

It really looks like they had twice that amount laid out at first.
Another rich person.

Or nobody until the price goes down.

But I’m guessing another rich person.

I hope it’s great. If Marvel had just kept to the proven method of printing billion dollar movie checks I would have stayed interested. But that’s not how it played out.

They clearly hope this can bring back their mojo, but I suspect this is just going to be their one last dead cat bounce of a good movie.

They need to take a break with the multiverse ensemble movies. Do x-men and some good standalone movies. Wait a while, and do the big ensemble movie after they’ve built back some fan trust and it’ll be more shocking to see some of these characters return.

To suffer as a Razorback fan.

Like Sisyphus rolling the stone up a hill for all eternity with it getting knocked back down to the bottom whenever he happened to get near the top.

That would be funny to see that bit expanded.


When Stuart ripped open that hole into the solid white space, I thought sure it was going to happen.
I’m pretty sure in one of the final episodes we’re going to get the Council of Sheldons.

FYI, that’s going to keep creeping up.

Then one day you’ll suddenly be over 40 and find yourself up and slightly annoyed that you have to wait until 6am for Home Depot and Lowe’s to open up on Saturdays.
Like if Fred Savage and Ben Savage had a middle brother.
As long as we keep the Superior National Forest, which includes the Boundary Waters.

Probably should keep the north shore of Lake Superior also.

And control of the full Mississippi.

The actual people really fricked up a nice place.

Sure. It's just a thread started by a guy who hasn't watched the show. I just see it as a courtesy to not talk about the ending unless they state they don't care.


Nobody has spoiled the ufos and aliens from the final season, so he still has that to look forward to.

I don’t think anyone can be held responsible for spoilers for the original GOT.

Discussion of everything has to be fair game by now. If you haven’t seen it, you go on the internet and message boards at your own peril.
