Blows my mind how people survive without AC, or at least window units. Here in Richmond VA we get all four seasons, and summer is especially bad. 90%+ humidity and at least 90 most days in the summer. Electric bill can be high, but it's absolutely worth it. Gonna be 97 with 95% humidity today. Bump all that noise
I do not have A/C.
 
I just watched the tomorrow war yesterday, Its amazing! Great action, decent story, heartwarming family theme, great CGI, one of the most convicing CGI monster I have seen. Characters maybe be a bit shallow, but well written. No virtual signaling shafting down viewers' throats. Juts good old Family man trying to save his family & looking out for his team, & a side redemption arc between him & his dad. A daughter story of love & inspiration.

At this point, have given up on Critcs reviews (52% at rottentomatoes) & just go straight to user review (82%). "Professional" critics have lost touch with the average viewers that they opinion are not worth the trouble.

I think it's more that the random peep gets to make his voice heard much more than before through internet and social media. The downside to this would be review bombing etc, I honestly don't trust either critics or randoms considering 97% (yes, I've done the maths) of the worlds h*** sapiens sapiens are r******d or at best semi r******d. The media critics aren't schooled in journalism anymore and are usually swayed by the tides of time which at this point goes towards individualism and political correctness so that's a no go too.

IDK, a dumb action movie is perfect for the summer. I haven't gotten a chance to watch it but was planning on just making a big bowl of popcorn, laying down on the couch, and turning my brain off for 90 minutes.
Watch it, you won't be disappointed. Also its not as dumb as critic e made it out to be.
 
Anyway a random thought in point form

Tolerance is a 2 way street. A lot of people that preach "tolerance" just do not the awareness to know. In fact people who go around preaching tolerance and have Tolerance & other buzzword in their bio then to be the worse offenders.

Their version of tolerance is by believing that they're 100% right all of the time and there's no wiggle room there. Same thing for people (Christians especially) who preach tolerance and love, but are actually giant a******s

So I've had a Sodastream for maybe 2 years now. Had a diet cola flavored one that I've had for a while and found it tasting weird last night. Checked the expiration date and I was good, but then noticed it says to refrigerate after opening, which I've never done for these. ☠️

I could have sworn the regular soda type didn't need refrigeration and only the fruit drops did wtf lol. Usually it doesn't take me that long to go through one so maybe it didn't make much of a difference, and only did when this one has been around for several months.
 
Bought a new fridge recently, still not used to it, it’s the kind with the freezer slide out at the bottom. I’ve loved my whole life on this planet with the standard split down the middle from top to bottom. Sometimes I go looking for a snack and see nothing with while, only forgetting there’s a whole other side to explore after I get something from the pantry or hidden snack stash, and nearly finished with said munchie

I've been actively looking at French door fridges. Not sure when I'll pull the trigger but it will happen.

It’s Sho-time on ESPN!

Well, I be happy to watch ESPN to see Team USA lose their next 3 friendly to random basketball teams, & I have not watch basketball for a long time.
Schadenfreude :ycry:

On as serious note I think rest of the world is catching up to US in basketball & there is no easy game anymore. Same with Football (Soccer). Even small European teams & far Eastern teams (like Japan & Korea) regularly give the big boys run for the money.

Also, isn't this person. Stephen A Smith, that after Team USA lost to Nigeria, make fun of Nigerian players' names, & had to issue an apology later. That & making bezzar comments on a Japanese MLB player for needing a translator.
