- quick go buy stuff! -- nm - decline Jun 22, 11:43
- sub ride to Titanic! -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 11:42
No Hard Feelings. The “kid” is 19! It isn’t his coming of age either. Unless the play on words is the joke. -- nm - Qale Jun 22, 11:32 5
- watching her describe the development on Hot Ones, usually "we saw this Craigslist ad and couldn't stop cracking up over it" is probably not a thing -- (edited) - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 11:36 1
  - Depends on what decade we are in. -- nm - Spawn Jun 22, 11:40
- In the movie, he's a virgin finishing high school. So, yes, he's coming of age. -- nm - David Jun 22, 11:34 1
  - Perfectly, so. -- nm - Spawn Jun 22, 11:39
- I thought coming of age meant young adulthood. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 11:33
did someone already post this? Wife of missing submersible pilot is a descendant from Titanic couple who perished -- (link) - Andie Jun 22, 11:25 4

- That guy owned a major department store in NY. It was still around when I was little. A&S. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 11:27 2
  - & he co-owned Macy's. -- nm* - Andie Jun 22, 11:28 1
    - Just saw that! It looks like they bought Macy's and phased out the A&S brand, so maybe it could be considered a replacement. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 11:29
Nifty (and what happens when your Governor actually does good) -- (link) - decline Jun 22, 11:23
Thoughts on this observation? -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 22, 11:22 [mastodon] 6

  - Trump wouldn't have sent rescue ships unless the passengers had said nice things about him. -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 22, 12:31
- similar to The Martian. Everyone bands together to hope for the rescue against impossible odds -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jun 22, 11:39
- There's some truth to that. Also, I think every "buried alive" type news story gets a lot of coverage. - loosilu Jun 22, 11:24
- lol "Slow News Is Bad News For Joe Biden" -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 11:24

- That's odd. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 11:15 7
  - is it? Detroit basically only sells monster trucks now -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 11:16 6
    - oh ... it correlates with vehicle size over the years. When Carter was in office people were getting small economy cars. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 11:18 5
      - i think there are probably a lot of factors. vehicle size for one. cops not enforcing traffic laws in cities with a lot of pedestrians likely another -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 11:22 4

        at least in LA, it mostly seems to be drivers running red lights -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 11:44
        
        Yes, cops use traffic stops to look for drugs and guns (and primarily using bigoted profiling) instead of enforcing safe driving laws -- nm - mara Jun 22, 11:25
still gross: jeff bezos's texts to lauren sanchez. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jun 22, 11:14
Jack Smith’s office produced all its non-classified discovery materials to fuckface yesterday. probably nothing too bad in them i'd guess -- (link*) - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 11:11 8

  - The rest would be the hull. It must have shattered. Best case scenario given the options. -- nm - loosilu Jun 22, 11:08
- They were probably dead before their brains could register pain. -- nm - Reagen Jun 22, 10:30 1
  - In some scenarios, instantly reduced to human-paste, yeah. Very small fraction of a second. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 22, 10:33

- Relatedly: I haven’t seen it, of course, but someone calling No Hard Feelings a coming of age movie has to be a stretch. - Qale Jun 22, 08:58 8
  - it's not HER coming of age story. -- nm - Andie Jun 22, 08:59 7
    - The trailers though present her as the main character, and if it's not her story then the main character is an antagonist, which is unusual. - Max Jun 22, 09:59 4
      - if you have J-Law in your movie, the ads are always gonna make it look like her movie -- nm - hollywood big shot Jun 22, 10:13 1
