I’m 44 years old and I still can’t stand people standing behind me if I’m sitting down. When I was a kid and I did something wrong my dad would sit me at the table while he walked around yelling at me and every so often he would walk behind me and slap the back of my head.
To this day I still get so uncomfortable that I have to get up or ask the person to move. Even if it’s my own kids, I can’t stand it.

I bought a keyboard from ThinkGeek that had an LED that would hit me right in the eye. A little piece of tape and that keyboard served me well for years.
I’m right there with you. I hate the current trend of rounded corners on everything. I know designers say it is more aesthetically pleasing, but to me it just looks like wasted space.

I have misophonia, so that is basically hell to me
I wish I could believe that, but every time an area turn blue all they do is redraw the maps. Texas district 26 and 13 are perfect example of this. 13 was solid red going across north Texas and the panhandle. District 26 was turning more and more blue. So, they took the city of Denton and moved it into district 13. Denton is home to a liberal art college, so they watered it down by putting it in a district that is over 350 miles across, and filled with rural red voters. Meanwhile the extended district 26 north and west to include more red voters.
Edit: This is 26 before the redrew it
Sad fact, most major cities in Texas are blue. Even Fort Worth has been going more blue. It the gerrymandering and rural areas keeping it red.
But 85% audience score. Critics seems to love to hate on those types of teen movies. Can’t Hardly Wait has 43%.
I still quote that movie to this day. Especially if I eat Popeyes Chicken

I have bookshelves full of Superman comics, graphic novels, books, basically anything in print I can get my hands on. And I’ve read every last one of them. I grew up on Christopher Reeve Superman films and will still watch all 4 of them. I’ve watched the old Fleischer cartoons, Super Friends, the 90s animated series, and all Justice League shows. I own the entire Smallville series on DVD. I was one of the dozen or so people who subscribed to DC streaming service before Max. And I’ve watched every Superman movie and TV show that came out in the last 25 years.
I’ve never gone back and watched Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. There is no reason I’ve never watched it other than I just haven’t gotten around to it.
Every time I’ve opened an Office app this week it has given me some copilot welcome screen and opened it’s own sidebar. I tried to use it to proofread a word doc and got prompted to purchase a license. So they basically just filled 1/3 of my screen with an ad.
My city of only 20k people in Texas has a similar app. Not sure what’s going on in California
It certainly does have an Adult Swim/Sealab vibe to it
“I can’t wait for them to reboot The Fantastic Four again” said nobody ever
Terminator 2 (T2) is a masterclass in combining CGI with practical effect and its ending is a rare cinematic full stop.
The T-1000’s liquid metal form was revolutionary, the morphing effects were cutting-edge in 1991, yet Cameron used them sparingly and only where practical effects couldn’t work. That restraint made the CGI more impactful and has made it so they still hold up 35 years later.
The truck chase through the storm drain, the helicopter flying under an overpass, the Cyberdyne building blowing up; it was all real and you can feel that when you watch the movie. There is no way any movie studio would do that nowadays when they could just CGI giant Michael Bay explosions.
The destruction of Cyberdyne and the Terminators meant the timeline was reset. Judgment Day was averted. The T-800 lowering itself into molten steel is an iconic moment; a machine choosing self-sacrifice for humanity. It’s a perfect final note, not just for the character, but for the franchise. Bringing him back again and again weakens that sacrifice. Any sequel has to undo all of this just to exist. Which is why to this day, I have not watched a single Terminator film after T2.
