tells the true story of a downed airman in occupied France and how he got involved with the French Resistance
My grandfather went through this exact circumstance. The French Resistance helped him get to a secret camp full of British and American soldiers, and they spent most of the war hiding in the countryside and digging little holes so they could play mini-golf with hand-carved clubs.
Yep, same situation for me. "Ambidextrous" roughly means "two right hands," so I like to joke that I'm ambisinistral - I've got two left hands.
Punch Drunk Love is a masterpiece. Simultaneously one of the funniest and most heartbreaking films I've ever seen in my life.
This reminds me of a Joey Comeau story I saw published fifteen or twenty years ago. The narrator's wife had died, so he programed a computer to read her old journal entries aloud in her voice, at random throughout the day.
It was profoundly depressing and meant to be fiction, but I guess every day we're making manifest the worst parts of our collective imagination.
Kodak has been circling the drain for decades. I'm shocked they've lasted this long.
What do we think about Everybody's Gone to the Rapture for this? There is a plot, there is a story, but you as the player have no active role in it. You don't even see it play out in real time. You're just there, after, looking at the holes left behind. Nothing changes from the start of the game until the end.
I absolutely loved it, but typing that out, I suddenly realize why most people thought it was really boring.
As someone working in manufacturing and trying to change companies, I really feel this. This time last year, I was the belle of the ball, with recruiters blowing my phone up to try to poach me. Now, everyone I talk to is in a hiring freeze.
If you can't put aside your differences to fight a common enemy, you'll lose.
You're absolutely correct here. It's just that Democrats and Republicans have spent the last forty years putting aside their differences to fight leftists.
Ah, the old "people who play golf live longer" when it turns out that people who can afford a country club membership also have the money for better healthcare options.
Many states have closed primary elections prior to the general election. So three or four candidates from the same party are campaigning against each other for the right to be the candidate in the general election, and the only people that can vote in this preliminary election are registered party members.
That 55% figure has been true of New York for decades. The ubiquity of public transit has historically offset the costs: since people aren't making car payments, the portion of their income that would go to that gets spread across other spending.
I would be more interested to see figures in more car-oriented areas for a better apples-to-apples.
Who keeps greenlighting this guy? He had a couple of good seasons of Doctor Who, maybe one and a half of Sherlock, but it's otherwise all been pretty insufferable.
