Once you’re old enough, there’s no difference. My doctor’s admin keeps calling me to schedule a colonoscopy, and we’ve been playing phone tag. That’s the closest I’ve come to foreplay in years.
I just learned from my doctor that you can poop in a cup and mail it off somewhere instead of getting the finger up the butt. Yay! Now I can procrastinate and not do something only mildly unpleasant instead of not doing something miserable.
Yeah. Basically, she said finger-up-butt is good for 10 years but poop-in-cup is good for only 3 years, and if they find indications of a problem in the cup-o-poop then you have to go get finger-up-butt anyway. Still worth it in my book.
Back in the '90s you could apparently send a letter to Michael Jordan by just addressing it “Michael Jordan” and nothing else. I think the poop cup works kind of the same.
Note that I am not telling you to mail your poop to Michael Jordan.
Dude I kept up the style LONG after it was no longer the style of the time. I put so many lives in danger driving my Volvo station wagon 75mph flipping through all of my scratched cds in a massive booklet
I am impressed at the control you'd have to have to not only fart on command, but to fart so consistently that it is considered a specific performance with a name. "Oh, I love this one!" It's amazing.
I think my favorite Beatles fact is they were being taxed at like a 90+% rate and didn’t even know for a couple years.
When they found out and took it to court the judge basically said “you were making so much money you didn’t even realize you were being taxed at all. Sucks to suck we’re gonna keep taxing you at the same rate”
A more challenging route does lower the odds of encountering other people though which is a plus. Nice to have the solitude even if that means extra effort.
I mean you see other people for a matter of seconds as you pass them on the trail, maybe give a head nod or a quite hello and keep going. Going out of your way to avoid this seems extreme behavior that probably means you need help.
I beg to differ. I like to pick a treeline and just dive in, and I’ve had a ton of weird encounters. Like once I was walking through the woods, and I very suddenly came to a clearing… There were two dudes in their underwear and a single moped
I had so many questions… Like why didn’t you stash the moped closer to the trail? Or did you have your underwear on already, or did you hear me and scramble? Are your clothes in the moped saddlebags, or did you ride out like this?
I had no idea how to react, so I just gave a nod and nonchalantly walked between them like I was on a trail
The best way to avoid that is to not start at a trail to begin with. But that is difficult in many places of the world. Since I’m from Sweden I’m free to roam pretty much anywhere I wish and that gives me an unfair advantage.
Human trails or deer trails? Because my absolute favorite hiking experience was when a group of friends and I said ‘fuck it’ to the people trails and spent the day wandering the deer trails.
Nice, met my now wife on bumble, hooked her with talk of my love of video games and Golden Age Sci-fi novels…or maybe despite of, she’s pretty tight lipped about it.
In fairness, hiking is a great first date. Shared goal, nice scenery, and you can just talk about what you read about the length, difficulty, view of the hike if you’re flailing for smalltalk
Then you hike, and you can point out what you see or ask random philosophical questions with time to think in silence without it being weird
And then, you spend some time seeing a nice view, maybe have a small picnic, and by the time you get back you already know each other without the awkward “interview” stage of a first date
If tinder wasn’t a cesspool at this point, I’d probably have it in my profile
Wouldn’t say I love it, but I don’t mind hiking, trees and mountains are cool. I also live in a part of new england where it’s basically just trees mountains and hills so any sort of walking around turns into a hike
I think they’ve just had the IPO, that’s why we see it. But I wouldn’t worry in the long term unless something major happens, but that applies to any major social media.
A similar thing happened with one of my favourite podcasts: Tech Won’t Save Us. They just started crowing about what a craven loser Elon Musk was at every opportunity. And it really sucked all the life out of the podcast for me. Like it used to be super interesting, well researched, broad, hopeful; and suddenly it seemed to only be about dunking on billionaires.
Which, deserved. But I don’t want to hear about Musk’s stupid machinations while I’m doing food prep. I want to hear about something cool, like collective action in India.
Maybe I’m in the minority though. Or maybe it’s gotten better by now. Idk
They probably noticed a huge bump in numbers in the episodes where they shit on Elon. There’s a weird dynamic where toxic shit partially maintains it’s popularity because content that focuses on debunking it gets eaten up. So ‘sane’ creators have to decide between creating interesting things or repeatedly dunking on some toxic shit that it grows their platform.
That makes sense, and it’s definitely what happened with mainstream news and Donald Trump. It’s this weird codependence that creates the audience for the behaviour your pointing out as outrageous.
It’s kinda how I feel about any shitty person that gets clowned on. At some point it’s just like “yeah, we all know this person is a POS, what else is new”.
I thought “mispellings of basic white girl names” are funny enough, but nope, we now have mispellings of words that are not even names. Triniteigh… What’s next, Conflagurayshawn?
I don’t know about 9D, but I once saw Avengers: Age of Ultron in 4D in a theater in Seoul, South Korea. It was a 3D film with moving seats, smells, and air that would blast in your face.
During a car chase, you could smell burning rubber, or close-ups of women would have a whiff of perfume or flowers. During a shootout, you’d get fine blasts of air on either side of your face, like bullets barely missing your head. If someone took a hit, the seats would jolt violently. It also poked you in the back if someone was hit from behind. Not to mention, flying in any aircraft felt like you were on a rollercoaster; the seats would raise and lower and tilt in all directions. It was pretty intense. Like being on one of those Universal Studios rides at their theme park, except for an entire film.
Dude I wish those kinds of theatres were more common. Disney has (or had when I was there last anyway) Honey I Shrunk The Audience and A Bug’s Life as 4D experiences, and those were awesome.
When I was a kid in the mid-90s, I went to Universal Studios in Orlando and experienced T2-3D: Battle Across Time, their Terminator spinoff story. It was amazing! 3D visuals, spraying mist into the audience as machines are blown apart, and there was audience interaction too, where the story would “leap off the screen” and actors would duke it out in front of us. I always wanted to go back and experience that again, but I guess they finally closed down that ride about a decade ago.
Unfortunately, Honey I shrunk the kids is no more and I heard that they are getting rid of A Bugs Life (although that might just be a retheme)retirement.
The Star Tours ride moves around while you’re in it and the Avatar ride moves and puffs smells while you fly on the back of the flying dragon animals, but I think that’s the closest experience to 4D now.
My dad and brother are going in a couple months but I gotta know: has Star Tours changed at all? I constantly hear rumors that it has more tours you can take, but I’ve heard that since I was 12 it’s always just been the same thing, despite all the posters in the line for other things lol
Yes, Star Tours has changed. A friend rode it back to back like 6 times and only repeated a couple scenes. The ride has multiple scenes to choose from the prequels, OT, and sequels and it’s all randomized.
Read up on Genie Plus, they now have a system where you can get a virtual queue starting at 7 AM on the app that will give you a time window to join a ride (kinda like Fast Pass). Then you have to wait a certain amount of time to join another virtual queue. Some rides, like Tron and Guardians of the Galaxy, are virtual queue only. There is also Lighning Lane, that costs around $16 and let’s you basically skip the line.
I think there’s even a way to link everyone’s accounts together so that you can select the virtual queue or lightning lane for everyone. You definitely can link accounts, so that all your pictures are pushed to everyone’s account. If a picture doesn’t show up from a ride, you can tell them the date, time, and a description of people in the group and they can normally find you and send the pictures into your Disney experience app I hope y’all have a great trip!
This is a PSA but there are a handful of theaters that do 4D called 4DX theaters and you might have one near you if you live in the US. Regal theaters specifically usually have them.
Went and saw Dune Pt2 in theaters and it was actually super fun. Shaking during the fight scenes, wind on your face when out on the dunes, lots of movement riding the sand worm, and water blasts and more.
They’re super fun, look them up and maybe travel to one sometime.
I saw dune 2 in 4dx and I’m going to have to disagree… It was mostly just being mildly shaken, uncomfortably, for 10 seconds as you hope your food and drinks don’t spill in a hard chair. Not to mention expensive, I’m probably never gonna see a 4dx again
It’s not for everyone but mildly shaken is not how I would describe it for me. They would be hard pressed to shake you or move you any faster without a seatbelt. The movie also doesn’t shake you for the entire time, but I’d say it’s on for a good 1/3rd of the movie. I was at my limit with it by the end for sure but that was fine. But maybe it varies from theater to theater.
You’re correct though, they usually are more expensive. I went on a discounted day, my ticket was $14, but they are usually $20 which is double normal rate.
So my advice is: If your movie is available in IMAX, go see it in the room adjacent. Or on a regular screen. Have your soda, popcorn, hotdog, whatever. Be comfortable. Then on another day, preferably discount night, come back to 4DX and don’t get a lot of food and drink. It will make you spill it.
4DX isn’t meant to be comfy and relaxing. It’s an intense experience and isn’t for everyone. It was my second time with the movie though and if you’re going in expecting to be on a rollercoaster the entire time, it’s super fun if you already know the movie. Also, pick your movie carefully. They only do a dozen 4DX movies a year. Horror would be amazing with it but the more action packed, the more shaking. So choose wisely. And if you have kids, this is a must at least one time. They’ll have so much fun.
Disney’s California Adventure has one that was recommended to us where you fly over parts of California, but it was unimpressive. Also, it apparently was highly dependent upon where they seated you because we were getting perfumes blown right in our faces rather than getting vague wafts of smells like were obviously intended.
