    omg, how is this scene still being taken out of context after 10+ years? In the scene mentioned, Tidus, the protagonist of the story, is feeling depressed and Yuna, the summoner who Tidus is guarding, tries to cheer him up. One of her methods is forcing(!) yourself to laugh. It looks ridiculous, it sounds ridiculous, heck, the other characters watching the scene think it’s ridiculous and even Yuna herself at some point tells Tidus he should probably stop. The laugh sounds forced, because it is. And intentionally, at that.








  • I’m on PorkBun now, but I’ve used Njalla for a few years and had no issues with them. The reason I switched was simply because I wanted to own the domain, because with Njalla the domain isn’t actually yours, it’s registered to Njalla. Note that this is by design, in the sense that when someone looks up the domain, they won’t get your info, but Njalla’s instead. After a while, I’ve gotten less comfortable with the idea of someone else owning the domain I paid for, so I switched.


  • Not ragging on you, OP, but man what a sensationalist title. Before you even begin to read the article, you get “Ideology linked to 100 million deaths” shoved in your face. And no mention of how many deaths have been associated with capitalism, big surprise. The website’s design is kind of ass, too.

    Anyway, the muskrat has condemned the whole affair… which I would say means the marchers are doing something right.




  • Yes, that would be one heck of a twist… if they hadn’t revealed Dr. Doom’s identity at Comic-Con. And we don’t even know what the movie will be called, I might add. I think that if Disney was confident in whatever movie it is they’re making, they would have kept RDJ’s involvement on the down-low, to surprise the audience. Instead, they made this big hullabaloo about RDJ coming back.

    Far as I can tell, the casting can be explained in one of two ways:

    • This Dr. Doom is an alternate universe version of Tony Stark. But if this is true, why the heck would they spoil the reveal?
    • Second option is even worse: no alternate universe chicanery. This is MCU’s version of Doom. But that’s just lazy casting.


  • I smell desperation. There’s ten of thousands of actors out there and they decide to re-hire RDJ? It feels like they’re counting on his star power to save their precious Marvel shows and/or movies. It won’t help, of course, because bad casting isn’t why people stopped watching. People are superhero’ed out and yet they’re pumping out Marvel shit like there’s no tomorrow. And I do mean shit, the quality of Marvel movies fell off sharply after Endgame. The talent just isn’t there, man. Stop.



  • Like so:

    Cocaine pollutes the sea due to sewage discharges from humans who use the drug, as well as the illegal laboratories that produce it, study co-author Enrico Mendes Saggioro, an ecotoxicologist at the foundation, told CNN on Tuesday.

    And as a side-note: cocaine being dumped at sea was considered as a possibility, but was ruled out:

    Previous research suggested that cocaine dumped at sea by traffickers could be responsible for contamination, but that is not the case here, said Mendes Saggioro. “We don’t usually see many bales of coke dumped or lost at sea here, unlike what is reported in Mexico and Florida,” he said.
