    My best friend married yesterday. After all the ceremonies there was a private dinner with his inner circle. I did a speech there, which to my relieve, was very well liked. I talked with his mother for quite some time and it turned out to be a very interesting conversation. I hadn't spoken to her in a while. You know how these things go when everyone starts living on their own so you don't have to visit them at their parents house anymore. She told me that back in the day she was very worried about her son hanging out with me. She knew I lived on my own when I was 15. She saw the wreckage that was my house when she dropped him off and of course she heard the stories about drugs and crime. She seriously considered not allowing this friendship to continue. I never knew that.

    But then she took the conversation in a direction I wasn't expecting and made me aware of something I never realized. She said that she was glad that she didn't interfere, that she quickly saw how loyal I am and how very well behaved and respectful I can be despite being involved with the 'bad' things. The real kicker came at the end though. She told me she was so proud of me. That despite being left alone at such a young age, with no guidance and basically growing up on the streets, I managed to sort everything out. She complimented me on my beautiful wife and child, my job and just really said that's she truly amazed at how far I've managed to come from nothing. That I really went the distance and won. Now that my friends, melted this frozen heart of mine.

    On 7/11/2017 at 4:59 PM, Sigma said: I know right now in the world it's the "bash America show"... but do keep in mind that the USA is the premier world superpower (regardless of our feckless president). The economy is still moving, Americans are still consuming, the population is adopting renewables at increasing rates (regardless of politics). If there is one thing I have figure out over this past year, its that Americans "care" about politics, but at the end of the day don't give 2 s***s and will carry on with their lives. This is basically the 1980's all over again (war on drugs, welfare queens, illegal immigration, voter fraud, oil/gas glut (post crises)). So long as the world treats the USA like North Korea (oh look, its crazy uncle Kim/Trump), then in 3.5 years (or less depending on congressional midterms - although I have little hope for the Democratic party as an organization) you should see a resurgence of American leadership in the world again. In fact, this is what the world leaders appear to be banking on anyway (with exception to Russia and China of course). Also, the rule of the internet is that the internet trolls.

    I believe what is being seen is a reaction to a demagogue, not to a country itself. Then again... I am biased.

    I agree about the resurgence but I don't believe the world wants to be bashing on America. Most of us rely on your country for either aide, economic stability or military support. It's just that Trump is jeopardizing all of that and we have a hard time understanding that's what's happening in America right now, is actually possible. If our Prime Minister only did a fraction of what Trump pulled so far, he would be in jail. That's another thing. All this craziness has exposed America in way that we outsiders have never seen before. Not on this scale anyway. We're are seeing the deep-seated rot of how your wealthy fuck over the poor, how your systems like healthcare are deliberately inadequate and how the voices of the people can be suppressed as in a dictatorship. But most of all, it has shown us that you have a lot of scary people living in your country. As an American, I would be more worried about these brainwashed right wing religious zealots than terrorists.

    I know it's overused which has made it kinda cliché, but Nietzsche wasn't lying when he wrote “What does not kill him makes him stronger.” Doesn't make it feel any less shitty though.

    And yeah @[HP], when it rains, it fucking pours.

    But seriously, it would be better to have "unmarked" images like from imgur where the photo is something like 12xb6t.jpg (or upload thru mapcore with modified name jpg)

    Having a screenshot with a link like url/moviename.jpg takes away all the fun of this thread :D

    About the new image, is it Cleopatra? long shot but still :P

    Yeah, I try to avoid those links (obviously I didn't check this time), but a Google search on the image usually gives you the answer anyway.

    No, it's not that movie. Here's a hint. It's from the early 90's, made by a famous director who is known for his love of special effects.

    Ok, since there was a little bit of unintentional cheating, here's a new one, with nothing in the link @will2k:P

    Truly one of my most cherished movies. Not because it's that amazing, but I have particular fond memories of this one. I saw this with my father and late mother in the theater when I was 9. It was overbooked and we were running late, so a lot of people didn't have seats and had to watch it while sitting on the stairs (including us). One of the leads was my mothers favorite so it always feels a little bit extra special. Plus, it's a great movie.

    What the fuck is wrong with Americans? Seriously.....

    https://www.vox.com/first-person/2…erotaxy-twitter

    In short, mother posts a hospital bill (which is insanely high, but that's another story) and get's flooded with threats and comments that her son is better off dead, that natural selection should run it's course and she was even offered a bullet to 'take care' of things. As someone who grew up with universal healthcare, in a country were we actually value people's lives, this kind of outrage is simply unfathomable and goes far beyond politics. We're talking about being a decent human being here. I'm not saying all Americans are like this of course, but your healthcare system and apparently a large part of your fellow country men and women are completely fucked up.

    I went to see this yesterday and I loved it. It really felt like the character finally came home (see what I did there?). It just lives and breathes Spider-Man. From the original theme song, to actually casting a young actor, high school drama, lots of humor and amazing action. Well acted, written and executed. One of the best MCU movies out there.

    Since I first applied, had a phone interview, test, face to face, a few phone calls and a lot of waiting over these four months or so.

    As much as I want to be done my application and find out if I secured this job or not, it's still been a joy to talk with everyone there, talking with them the first time a couple months ago pretty much killed any anxiety I had when I first applied. Let's just hope I get this job so I can enjoying talking to them for much, much longer.

    Good luck man. It sounds like a done deal to me. They wouldn't invest this much time in an applicant if they weren't serious about hiring him.

    I'm a big tabletop fan. Unfortunately I can't show off my collection because most of it is still packed away due to my recent move. But I got this one for you, which I imported from the Us due to this version having the best defined rule set and it's by far my favorite. I'll post more as I slowly unpack things in the coming months. Also, great paint job @Em'!
