Yeah, I mean Megadeth was founded because Dave Mustaine went too hard for Metallica. I imagine your mom has seen some shit. But congrats on Dave being your dad though?

I actually had to turn it off halfway through and then revisit it the next day in the daylight. My wife asked "are you scared?" and I was like "not really scared, just deeply unsettled."

Seriously great movie. I saw it this weekend and now have been telling all my friends to watch it so I have people to discuss it with. The problem is that since it's a horror movie, a lot of people I've told are just hard passing.

They're missing out. It's scary, but it's also a legit good movie. The scariness in the movie isn't really like that from cheap jump scares like most movies, but just from this weird sense of something being very, very wrong.

I've been obsessed (pun intended) with watching different people's takes on the movie. I just saw this one yesterday that hit on that Nice Guy™ point that you mentioned:

I've heard this movie is being used as a litmus test by women to see if a man is boyfriend material. If they don't recognize that Bear is the villain, they are out!

Double edit: lol the dudes down voting this definitely missed the point of the movie and are wondering why girls don't date them even though they're Nice Guys ™

"I think flexibility is here to stay," she said.

This is the problem with academics. They do a study, find something is logically better, then assume humans will act logically.

Unfortunately, most CEOs don't give a shit if their employees are more happy, productive, and less likely to quit if they work remotely. They just want to feel like they have control over people's lives, which is why we're seeing more return to office initiatives.

It would also be in stark defiance of Amazon’s stated climate goals, which center on reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.

That’s not lost on the tech giant. But as Amazon spokesperson Margaret Callahan told the NYT, the “world looks different now than when we co-founded the climate pledge.”

What the fuck? They looked at the world recently and said "yeah, climate change isn't as much of a problem as it was before"?!?

I hate how accurate that is
