I had a very similar experience, and after talking with several techs it seems clear that there isn’t a single new home appliance of any kind that’ll outlast the heavy inefficient 30 year old machine you already own (unless it’s a speed queen)

What’s your upscaling workflow if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve been ripping old music DVDs and throwing them on YouTube but a lot of them are letterboxed so I’m cropping them down to 360p, which looks insanely bad on YT

When you check the CCR divider at a record store and this is the only thing staring back at you, that’s a sure sign you need to get the hell out of there

Singling out the pronoun line is so good because even in the trailer it's clearly meant to be funny

Especially when the second song to play over the credits was “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”, which was both thematically appropriate and directly referenced throughout the movie

One Battle After Another was great but I think we need a moratorium on “American Girl” needledrops. Find some other song to convey a female character’s aspirational hopefulness or we’re going to have another “Don’t Stop Believin’” situation on our hands

It sounds more like directing a trained animal. *Maybe* it'll do what you ask it to do, if you only give super dumbed-down direction, get about 20 takes, and keep your expectations low.

As someone who grew up evangelical, being taught that Mormons and Catholics were Not Real Christians, it’s been fascinating watching them get casually brought into the fold. Almost makes me reconsider how sincere those leaders were about their religious beliefs 🤔

Those “safari parks” off the interstate in like South Dakota where the four Sub-Saharan animals have been driven to madness from being confined in a barren 1000 square foot field with a pond and a tractor tire

This is my mom to a T. In her phone call asking me not to vote for Hilary, she conceded that the myriad accounts of Trump’s sexual abuse were “probably true”. She cried when Obama won lol

And she’s a thoughtful, reasonable person compared to other people I’ve met!

Obama's Home Teleprompter Malfunctions During Family Dinner Officials say the President’s home teleprompter is simply a tool to make sure pillow talk with Michelle or conversations with his Mother-In-Law go smoothly.

It was such a big talking point that The Onion got in on it:

Yeesh. The panel he dropped out of was to promote this upcoming show, the trailer for which opens with Fallon saying "I love advertising":

He literally did blackface to portray Karl Malone(?) for a Man Show sketch. It made the rounds on social media awhile back but I don’t think it even got to the level where he had to make a statement about it

Obviously there’s some self-selecting at play here, but I don’t know of a single classmate from my conservative Christian school who stayed conservative (and very few who stayed Christian!)

Becoming a successful right wing personality is just a matter of getting yourself in front of the right wealthy benefactors at a young enough age. The whole ecosystem is astroturf from the ground up
