I understand your point and this poster didn't excite me either, but Fury road had two famous people in it as well and I consider it iconic.

It may be just a copy cat movie.... Or it may pull a performance from them both that surprises us.

I honestly just don't know what to expect from either actor.

I have dogs and for the last ten years or so, owned indoor sneakers. I do not like slippers or sandals so I buy some running shoes or something, cheap ones, on sale. They last forever because it's indoor only. I replace them when they get smelly.

I do not wear shoes that have been outside, in my place.

Works for me!

I'm a fan of Dune and this always made me laugh.

Love this idea. It's an idea that's easy to break down to children as well, help them narrow down their options when someone is talking to them.

This is one that will stick with me for sure.

I actually do not remember where I heard this, but I was unhappy at one of my past workplaces, and I felt like nothing made sense anymore. The purpose of my job, the product, the people... I would ask why or seek deeper understanding and received nothing back.

The advice was "when no one has your back, it's time to move your back".

It stuck with me because it applies to friends, family, work, and life in general. If you do not feel supported and able to give support back mutually then it's time to place yourself in a situation more beneficial for you and those around you.

It doesn't place blame, it's simply a validation statement - you feel x, so do y.

I don't know that they deserve favorite because of what they are, they don't even have much of a smell! But there is just something about them I love, and maybe it's memories or how "wild" they look as they grow in bunches. It reminds me of wildflowers in a field.

Black-eyed Susan. They grow in big bunches and expand outward each year in a ring where the seeds fall. Just a simple flower that stands out in late summer in my area and lasts through fall. It's low maintenance too.

I've had good luck. Reliable and fast as any other service.

I'm a 3rd year subscriber of the Unlimited plan, $158 for 2 years at a time. I utilize the drive, aliases, mail and VPN.

No real complaints. I still use Google calendar because it integrated more with Android phone. I still consider going back to Gmail occasionally for simplicity. I really hate Gmail though but email is garbage. Does it really matter?

I basically priced out good vpn's, and the two year price of proton was pretty similar to most other quality VPN plans. So why not stick with it and get the rest of the ecosystem too.

I don't think about it too much, it's email and it works.

I do not care about secure email because I don't communicate with anyone else using it, but I do like how it automatically blocks trackers and cleans email links for me.

I really tried, a few times and I just can't make it exciting. I find it so boring to search for people and tags I wantto follow. That said, I wasn't a huge Twitter user before, and i don't have bluesky. I'm just hoping one day, mastodon clicks with me.

I could ddg this, but how does the remote access work? Do I need to open ports out of my home to have users watch stuff?

I want to like mastodon but I don't want to do the leg work of finding accounts. I like the algorithm to some extent, I want help to find things.

I also have trouble deciding how to support the post. Liking doesn't do anything and tooting or whatever puts it on my page. I don't feel part of the community boosting topics I like.

I like voting things up and down.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I try and get instantly bored because I have to hunt for everything. I really tried.
