  1. Streaming services should have a shuffle option. Select a handful of shows you wanna watch and have it play episodes of each randomly.
  2. It depends. I think generally historical movies fall into two categories. First, there's the historical movies that just straight up make things up, these generally aren't great for helping people understand history better, often they do the opposite. Best example being Enemy at the Gates which is the source of a lot of misconceptions people have of the Soviet Army such as them sending troops out to fight without guns which is simply not true. Gods and Generals is another example, being boring and blatant Lost-Cause Confederate propaganda. Or Red Tails, which while I appreciate for shining more light on the Black airmen, has a mountain of historical inaccuracies when it comes to the actual aerial combat that occurred in WW2. Most historical movies fall in line with Red Tails where there's just a lot of historical inaccuracies for whatever reason. Rather than being intentionally malicious like Enemy at the Gates or Gods and Generals. If the movie and story itself is good enough I can overlook the inaccuracies, such as with Inglourious Basterds, which doesn't take itself super duper seriously anyway. But they shouldn't be taken as genuine representations of the time period or as substitutes for properly learning about a specific time period or subject. I much prefer the second category of more accurate and realistic historical movies, and I do think they help people understand history better. Come and See is a prime example. A Soviet anti-war movie, completely grounded in reality as it showcases just how horrible it was to simply exist around the Eastern front. Downfall was a very accurate portrayal of the final days of Nazi Germany. Oppenheimer was also relatively accurate, it does take some liberties but I was surprised at how well represented everything was overall. Schindler's List, goes without saying. Saving Private Ryan is also quite good especially for how big of a movie it was. Just a few examples, there are a lot of good (and mostly accurate) historical films that are beneficial to those who watch them. I think the biggest issue for your average viewer is telling the first category apart from the second Which you really can't do unless you research online or have a decent level of knowledge about the subject the movie is about.
  3. leg so hot hot hot leg leg so hot you fry an egg
  4. Sure, why not. Maybe I’ll date the next Eminem. Would you date someone who spends hundreds of dollars a month on gacha games?
  5. Xiaolin Showdown. Barely remember any details about it other than it had a yellow bald kid which is how I found out its name. Literally just searched "Yellow bald kid cartoon". And I don't think I've ever heard of another soul talk about it despite it airing on Cartoon Network.
  6. I have a 2002 Subaru Forester which is still going strong (minus fuel economy which sucks) and a 2024 VW ID.4 I got in January.
  7. We should be getting Fallout 5 by then, maybe even Elder Scrolls 7 assuming the 6th game actually releases.
  8. Like I died and came back to life and forgot how to be human. However, there's a new 3 hour long Brick Immortar video coming out on Sunday so that made me a little happy.
  9. Realistically I’d probably get along best with Fluttershy or Izzy. It’d be very tempting to pick Pinkie Pie tho just because of her whole 4th wall breaking thing.
  10. They had pretty significant amounts of oil production before and during WW2, don’t think they have much now. They have a pretty cool flag. That’s about it, I don’t know much about them sadly. Never met any Romanians or researched their history too much.
  11. Boy, I sure hope Subnautica 2 doesn't end up flopping after the delay and all this news about internal issues between the dev team and publisher. Not looking good tho.
  12. I have bat decals I bought from a rescuer on the back window and passenger side on that little unusable quarter pillar window. And a Trixie decal on the driver's side tiny window.
  13. Yes, and I’m really hoping Asgore plays a big part in it like folks are currently theorizing. How often do you think about the Roman Empire?
  14. Baby opossum on a baby deer. I don’t know the context sadly but this is a cute photo
  15. I wish for a detailed, indestructible manual explaining how to make a working nuclear fusion reactor capable of outputting more power than it consumes. I wish for all billionaires to cease to exist and for all their money to be evenly distributed amongst every person on Earth. And then for the last one, make me immortal. I deserve something for giving the world unlimited power with nuclear fusion and getting rid of some of the main forces who would push against it.
  16. Switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading
  17. First it was My Castle Town sounding like Cruel Angel's Thesis, and now we have Ruder Buster with the same BPM and key as Joskue's theme from JoJo.
  18. Happy birthday!
