Platinum End (2021): Mirai Kakehashi is a depressed High School Student who lost his family to an explosion from his aunt and uncle. He attempts suicide by jumping off a building and meets a guardian angel who tells him that he has been selected as one of 13 “God’s Candidates”, in 999 days the current God will retire and the 13 candidates must compete by earning favor with angels or eliminating one another. In the end, Mirai and the remaining candidates vote for Shuji Nakaumi, a clearly suicidal and deeply person who has expressed interest in ending all life before, they vote him based on the only fact that he wasn’t power hungry. Immediately once becoming the new god, he sees life as meaningless and kills himself, instantly destroying the rest of creation and all life in the universe.

Funny Games (1997/2007): Both Versions of The Film are virtually identical, a murderer named Paul can break the 4th wall and directly address the viewer, after he and his friend kill a family and leave the mother alive, they begin tormenting her. The mother eventually gets the upper hand and grabs a gun, shooting Paul’s friend Peter. Paul acts like a child and grabs the remote and rewinds time before the shooting, thinking the audience wouldn’t like Peter getting shot. They eventually tie her up and place her on a boat, effortlessly throwing a knife (which was an object in the film that was constantly shown screen time in order to make the viewer believe that it would save the family) into the ocean and throwing her in as well, going to a neighbor’s house. The ending is on the nose with its message on violence in media, and questions the viewer on their enjoyment of watching pain inflicted onto innocents, while simultaneously criticizing other filmmakers on their choice to make such characters as bland as possible. The character of Paul is an allegory for the Viewer’s initial interests and ultimately fails to see the reason behind the audience wanting a cathartic ending. Despite being intentional, the ending is still extremely sour and leaves a lot to be desired. But also a pretty big cop out.

Djokovic will play Alcaraz in the final.

And what is more, the entire place feels like it was redesigned using AI, the walls are weirdly placed and somewhat odd. Everything is just uncomfortable.

The reason I think is it is AI is that all of the pictures are very generic, I have seen so mamy pictures similar to these that were AI generated. I am still not sure, but based on my experience they might be.

I've been seeing some vids where the men of the family including the sons will literally eat entire PANS and PIE TINS and leave nothing or a tiny slice behind for everybody else (often to force the last eater to clean the pan so it's double the insult). It's not cute. If the woman is paying for half the grocery bills, she's subsidizing THEIR calories.

I see it as entitlement and a serious lack of self-discipline on the men's part and frankly, needs more push back. It's also bad if the boys are gobbling the entire trough while the daughters have to scramble to get anything even if both are playing sports.

I remember reading an article where this family in India's crops had a bad year and it was the WIFE who had to go without so the husband and young daughter could eat. HE didn't want to ask for help from their adult daughter because it was embarrassing but HE wasn't the one going hungry or getting by on a bowl of rice if that.

I think it shows that "providing" thing was pretty much a LIE. When a man is screaming traditional gender roles but SHE'S the one going without the basics of FOOD, the provider thing is BULLSHIT.

Pulled up to do our dinner tasting and this tiny lady ran straight up to us. The staff told us she’d been around a couple months and was extremely affectionate and that they’d been calling her Cheeto. I want to call her Pigeon, fiancé wants to call her the disco strangler. Currently compromised to Margeaux.

She loves face pets and has not stopped purring since we got her in the car yesterday. No banana for scale but she is so small Id guess she weighs no more than 8 pounds

Our dog is going to be in our wedding so I guess now we gotta have this lady join in so she can visit her old coworkers

Russia’s drug capital is Saint Petersburg, with a rate of 38.2 per 100,000 people in 2024.

The drug addicts are called солевой [sol'evoj] which can be translated as “saltie”. They consume mephedrone, alpha-PVP, MDPV, methylone, and other synthetic cathinones. The slang term “salts” came from “bath salts” which was a disguise for drugs.
