I strongly disagree that Kirsten Stewart has an iota of talent as an actress. She has two emotions she expresses: sulky and panicky, and she does neither well. She was no better than her baseline in Underwater and that film wasn’t very good either IMO (and I love Cthulhu stuff).

However, I didn’t like Snow White and the Huntsman either. I saw it years ago but can’t really remember much about it, because I found rather bland. It wasn’t just Stewart’s milquetoast performance.

“How could anyone have predicted this?!?”

Probably middle school. Not really an altercation, just the last time I can remember being violent. My school bully baited me with insults and the teacher ignored it. I snapped, picked up a student desk and hurled it across the room at him. Missed, but it scared him enough to shake him. I got a talking to by the school principal, but that bully never bothered me again.

My understanding was that it’s only legal under highly restricted conditions. If you’re just Joe Schmoe, you’re not going to be able to get a firearm just because you have no criminal history and no evidence of mental illness.

I know plenty of people on the Left who want to ban guns, European-style. They think anyone who owns one is partially psychopathic and have a fetish about killing things. You're right, they're probably in the minority, but I question by just how much. I don't think they're as fringe as some people would like to believe.

I’m a Democrat who values the 2nd amendment and doesn’t think we should just ban guns in the U.S. Stronger regulations and safety measures? Sure, absolutely. But I do think people should have the right to own and use firearms for recreation, hunting, personal protection, etc.

Dual-vector foil from the Three Body Problem series. Everything just gets lethally downgraded from three-dimensional to two-dimensional.

Fairest apocalypse because notice was posted.

 

I fled Reddit due to the authoritarian mod craziness, but Lemmy.world seems infested with too much Communist craziness. I'm leftist, but communism is idiocy. Is there an instance that leans more democratic socialist but refrains from going off the deep end?
