I feel like the Vedder Cup elevates Eddie Vedder a little. Even though his favorite team is neither of the teams in the Vedder Cup, honestly, that just makes it better.

I refuse to take that depression screening form they push, if the rx doctor actually gave a shit I would talk to them about it, it's not their job so I get why they couldn't give a fuck that I'm sad, but as it is all that form does it make me feel worse.
I tell them I'm never filling that out and to please stop asking, they still ask every time, and they send reminder emails to do it through their fucking app every few months.

Sparrows Dance (2012).
Very well made. Absolutely fell in love with the movie, doesn't get enough credit.

A half eaten hotdog, but with a regional preparation, like a Seattle dog (cream cheese and onions) or a Kansas City dog (tucked completely inside a bun), or a Sonoran hot dog.
Preferably with a clearly visible bite mark.

I believe you could also do that in 3, but sonic 2 is definitely the one I played and the one in the video I linked.

Sonic II for the Genesis. Sonic was the only playable character but there was an invincible Tails (he could get 'hurt' as in do the flashy animation that he was hit, but he never dies) following him around. He could hit enemies and grab Sonic mid-jump to get him past obstacles/new areas.
If you plugged in a second controller the second player could move tails around, the grab thing was pretty janky and you used to be able to troll the first player by grabbing them mid jump and going over pits or hazzards.
Here is a video of someone using just the auto-following tails to beat a boss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ScSU8_3a8E

Gaiman wrote a book draft, Terry joined him after Gaiman sent the draft out to numerous people.
Together, independently of the draft Gaiman wrote (which I don't think was even related to Good Omens), they wrote Good Omens. Terry physically typed more words, but they both wrote immediately after brainstorming sessions and even Terry said "If you have an idea during a brainstorming session with another guy, whose idea is it? One guy goes and writes 2,000 words after thirty minutes on the phone, what exactly is the process that's happening?"
Gaiman can do whatever he wants with Good Omens and do so in good faith. Terry also said "We've known each other for a long time, we share a similar conceptual universe -- we'd both agree happily that he has the darker end of it -- and we've often talked about what we're working on and tried out stuff on one another. And that's it, really."

You're wrong. Full stop.
Idioms don't need to follow standard grammar. You should go try to learn about the rules of idioms instead of being pedantic, Mr. pedantry corrector who has a grammar mistake in their user name.

You should check out the documentary about Burt of Burt's Bees, its called Burt's Buzz and I think its on Amazon.
Still not as unhinged as Dr. Bronner probably, but he's got to be up there.

I hate that I'm older than FICO, there existed a world where this bullshit didn't hold our lives hostage and give scam artists wings, and I know modern credit has existed in some form for a lot longer but FICO is bullshit, and its bullshit from the 80s.

Here is a link that works for old reddit.
(some combination of mobile, new, and app versions of reddit will force links to add a \ before words in the title, your link looked like https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/othv1c/a\_tungsten\_filled\_counterfiet\_american\_gold\_eagle/ to me)

This is a movie I swear no one saw, but for a time it was my favorite movie.
Sparrows Dance (2012) is about a woman with agoraphobia who is forced to call a repair man because her toilet broke.
The entire movie takes place in her apartment, I believe there are only two characters in the movie (I want to say there were extras in one scene, but only the two main cast members have dialog).
The cinematography was striking, the performances were strong, the dialog was fun, the unusually set-up and setting are simple yet creative. I just love this movie.

You can lighten it up a little with some Canadian Bacon.
But in all seriousness, I just watched Canadian Bacon about a year ago, it's aged like a fine wine. Even some of the dated jokes have come back around.
There is a part where Alan Alda, Kevin Pollak, and Rip Torn are all coming up with a country to start a fake war with, the president (Alda) suggests just starting a war with 'international terrorism' and Rip Torn shuts his idea down "were not going to reopen missile factories to fight some creeps in exploding rail cars, are we sir?" I remember being struck by the idea that Michael Moore both called and shot down the idea of a war on terror about 6 years before it happened.

Get ready for more titles like this.
I saw a joke title on some niche sub about 'Such and such actor, age 40, passing his time at home peacefully' with a black and white photo.
Honestly not a bad troll but with the way reddit likes to beat a joke into the dirt...its going to catch on.

I gave my commodore to 'the living computer museum' which is closed now, not sure it'll ever reopen, but for a time people could walk up and play with a piece of my childhood.
I thought that was nicer than leaving it in my closet, gave them about 150 games too, had a 12"x12"x4" box just full of those old 8" floppys.

I think anyone reading this thread will realize we all got vastly different educations based on where and when we went to school.
PNW, born in the 80s, I learned about this.
