A muslim friend of mine is dating a Chinese guy, and despite the fact they've been boyfriend and girlfriend for 3 years, they still call him her "Chinese friend"
A friend of mine is manager of the high rollers lounge at a big casino and saw some dude lose $27 million in one hand of poker at 11 in the morning.
Given that he is targeting mass corruption, this guy is a major target.
Dumb fucking move
I thought that Guy Pearce was gonna be BIG after I saw him in Memento, but he's not really gone anywhere
TIL I'm much less informed than I thought
I used to start drinking more milk once I saw those white spots under my nails, because I was told it was because of a calcium deficiency. Turns out they're called 'milk spots' because that's just what they look like.
TIL that the white spots under my nails are not from a calcium deficiency.
It’s like this all over the world
So glad Trump didn't do his ultra-masculine handshake
Yes!
From what I understand, the marketing for that movie was misleading, because it had to be.
Hence a poor box office performance, but great word of mouth later on.
From a marketing stand point the film is very difficult to promote.
This is how the world ends, not with a bang, but with a gif
Dodgy breath tests, wow. Wait to you find out about the number of malicious prosecutions.
VicPol at it again.
None of what they did could lead to a false prosecution
Should they not be charged with fraud? Docked pay? Fined?
It's impossible to know which specific officers did it.
A sub full of people who genuinely have no idea what they are talking about but have very strong opinions otherwise
welcome to humanity
I like how when Wade went back in time, he only saved Peter and no-one else from the X-force
Nani the fuck?
Worst change I ever saw was no change at all.
That's deep, dude
IIRC, you have to copy a sentence basically promising that you won't cheat. And I guess they think writing it in cursive makes it more formal or something.
Now that is some optimistic thinking
If you're thinking of getting a tattoo wait a week before you actually get it, so it's not an impulse decision
"The first draft of anything is shit" - Ernest Hemingway. The whole point of drafts is to figure out what works an what doesn't, so you can keep what you like and scrap the rest.
I was writing a script that I liked but it had too many ideas in it; so I took them out and made them into their own new thing
You barbarian

Good ol' Windy Wellington
How have none of you mentioned the opening scene of UP?
Not a movie but the end of band of brothers...
I read that as the Blues Brothers lol
Dota 2 has a hidden behaviour score, out of 10,000 that goes up and down with reports, commends, abandons (leaving), and maybe use of certain words in allchat (last one’s a theory, not proven)
It has nothing to do with roles, and nothing to do with wins and losses. You are matched in priority with people around your behaviour score, even in unranked
I think it could apply well to Overwatch, and most competitive games, in fact.
I think a 'commend' system would work really well in OW comp
"I heard a rumour about..."
Am I the only one that got serious 'The Last of Us' vibes from this movie?
I'm not picking on you but I hear this about every movie now that's remotely post-apocalyptic.
But surely you see the similarity between the creatures in this and Clickers in TLOU
Wanna fight?
In year 3 or 4 we were making decorations and we were supposed to put the name of a family member on them. Naturally most kids put their pets’ names. When the teacher found out she said that we weren’t allowed to do that because “They’re all gonna die in a few years anyway”.
The ironic thing is that this is what many prisons were like until the late 80s. Without hte $5 mill at the end tho.
About a month old, but our deputy Prime Minister resigned because he had an affair with a staffer and she got pregnant. The funny part is that he was one of the leading voices against same sex marriage because he believed in traditional family values.
Australia btw
Woulda been nice if the Academy would've taken 5 seconds of the 2+ hours of ad time/equality talk to put Adam West in the memorandum but that's alright at least I haven't forgotten him.
It's because he was mainly in TV shows not movies
I think it has a shot at editing.
It better fucking win best editing
Dunkirk should win most of the Tech reward right?
I've got my money on Dunkirk for best sound editing and mixing

Godspeed, you glorious bastard
Not OP, and I know it might sound off-putting (but I promise it isn't) - I just went. And then I kept going.
The hardest part is the keep going part. Make it your routine. Don't expect it to cure your depression (it might, it might not). Don't expect your life to turn around immediately. Just go, and keep going.
The r/bodyweightfitness sub was super helpful for me, but there are plenty of other subs that can help keep you motivated and give you great workout tips.
I've found that I enjoy going to the gym when there aren't many people there; it's more relaxing and I don't feel any pressure to look amazing whilst doing it.
It's an Aussie term for fast/loud/idiotic driving. Generally applied to persons under 30, P plate drivers and drivers of 04 model Commodores.
The person is called a hoon, the act itself is hooning. Aka "someone's hooning"
AKA: a douchebag in a Holden
I was really drunk once, lying in my bed, trying to eat a hot dog wiener. No bun. Just the wiener. Wasn’t even cooked. I was apparently far too drunk to handle eating it so I (for whatever reason) chucked it over my head, out of my top floor window and onto the lawn.
My downstairs neighbor was apparently walking to the house when I did it. She complained to our landlord about me throwing a raw wiener at her at 2 am. Our landlord luckily found my explanation really funny.
Edit: Of course my top comment (by a ridiculous amount) is a story of me doing weird shit when I'm drunk. Thanks, reddit. Never change.
Edit 2: Gold?!
On Valentine day I sat at home by myself watching the Simpsons and getting drunk. I was using the TV remote to navigate the DVD menu when I realised it's power. So I spent an hour (probably more) running around my house pointing the remote at random objects and expecting them to do stuff.
Drunk me is a moron
I was waiting for a train and some guy walked up to me and said: "All your friends are lucky to know you. Today is your day, seize it". Then he walked off; I was dumbstruck for a few seconds. But it left me thinking, and I thought "Hey, you know what? Today is my day" and I had an absurdly positive outlook on everything for the remainder of the day.
Calling a country a shithole is racist now?
It is when you're the President
So, Obama is racist for calling Libya a shit-show?
The President is supposed to be a diplomat and maintain relationships with other nations. Obama was referring to the half-assed British intervention in Libya; he was talking about a military operation. In contrast, Trump was referring to the nations themselves as 'shitholes'.
Absolutely positively 100% different.

Best Audio recorder for <$300?
I have a Rode Video Mic and need an audio recorder for it. I was thinking the Zoom H4n Pro or the H5, but from what I've heard the 3.5 mm jack can be quite noisy. I'm somewhat of an amateur when it comes to audio-engineering, however, I still want to maximise the audio quality I can get from my tiny budget.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I feel that Dunkirk didn't get the love it deserved.
Star Wars was terrible
I wouldn't call it terrible, but it definitely wasn't up to the standard that Episode VII and Rogue One had set
Gone Girl
A guy at a party was talking about how great technology was. I agreed. He then proceeded to talk about how there are people made of computer chips walking among us and we don't know who they are. I took the opportunity to say, "I know. You could be one of them." And walked away. I stared at him from across the room off and on the rest of the night. Good times.
That was a Phillip K. Dick move
I wonder how many times they had to rewrite the script so it didn't infringe on Star Trek's copyright
