It’s not inflation - it’s price gouging by corporations. Wages aren’t going up nearly as quickly as corporate profits.

Yeah, not very Welsh-sounding at all. On the other hand, dude was born in Wales to a Welsh father, so as long as he is focused on helping Wales and the Welsh people, that’s what matters.

I’m fortunate in that my city the cinema is never very crowded. I saw Dune 2 opening weekend and it was only one-third full. It’s not bad paying and feeling like I have the place to myself.

I already have my tickets for the Ghostbusters and Godzilla movies.

Though, the last really enjoyable theatre experience I had was going to a pre-release showing of “Shang-chi” - a theatre packed full of fans enjoying a fun movie. I miss that type of experience.

The truth is irrelevant to Trump and his sycophantic MAGAts.

Execs to staff: “Skadoosh!”

That sounds like a fun project.

Don’t forget to label them as “Bible cartoons and movies.”

SA is anti-LGBTQ. They will deny them services.

It would have been much more fitting to have the Israelis stay home and feature local members of the Jewish community and families of non-Jews who supported the community during the Nazi occupation.

Yep. Time to fall in love all over again.

Single word ratings? Well, I rate Ofsted as “useless.”

I think they mean “government crackdown disguised as spontaneous counter demonstrations.”

I’m not anti-Semitic but I’m definitely becoming extremely anti-Israel.

The Russian Black Sea fleet gained another submarine. Good for them.

The visual effects at times were good but those moments were rare. The first appearance of Las Arañas was awful - the costume design and effects totally put me off. It had so much potential but Sony didn’t commit to making this film. They phoned it in and ruined the introduction of an influential character in the comics.

It lasted longer than I thought. Probably because it was a weekend and Elon was probably too busy sniffing his own farts.

I understand this. I was underemployed for a while, so I was doing tutoring American English online. Since I was working graves, my schedule meant I ended up with clients from SE Asia, China, Japan.

After a few months, I found better work and didn’t need to tutor as much. I cut my availability and was down to 2, then one.

The one I still tutor is a Filipina in nursing school. Most people, when they find that out, go straight to the “I’m a creep/She wants a green card” duality.

I get tired of explaining that she actually qualifies for permanent residency as soon as she gets her work visa. She doesn’t need me at all to come to the US to work.

There are plenty of legitimate organizations and agencies that help Filipino nurses get jobs and visas at minimal cost above the required fees.

She has mentioned that she’d prefer to live with me and would be open to a relationship with me, even though I am older…much older.

I leave that last bit out when talking to folks because it makes me sound like a creep. I totally get why people would think that.

On the other hand, an attractive, intelligent, hardworking, and fun younger woman is interested in me? It’s a challenge to say no to that.

Chick’s got rizz fr fr no cap fam etc etc

What did Honda ever do to you?
