Don't remember but I think Taarna where the horde is approaching the throne room and the people are kicking a trigger to activate the strong door and it's going so slowly and I'm like "come on! Go already!"

I had one that you had to do like five things to shoot one bb. My buddy had one that did like two things to cock and fire. We were having a battle in the woods one day and I looked around a tree and he shot me right above the eye. I think about that a lot how close I came "you'll shoot your eye out!"

Seems shortsighted to design a car with low margin of error. Just setting yourself up for poor experiences.

There's a sports writer where I live who told a story about being really depressed for a long time and making plans to end his life (not saying this is OP's state of mind but more to this commenter's point about medically related). He mentioned it to a friend who asked him to get checked and it turned out he was diabetic. He got treated and his mental health improved, so you never know.

My '18 Rogue lost compatibility with Android Auto shortly after I bought it for some reason. Does anyone know why that happened? It was a total bummer and I can't figure out why they would do that.

We camp in the summer, go to amusement parks have fun. It's not like we are shut-ins, it's just the repetition of weekly life that becomes more pronounced when you don't have the variation of having young kids around all the time.

I remember seeing a comment that cracked me up "either the phone or the mirror is lying". People love us for who we are not what we look like, usually. Pull up a picture of someone you know and describe them, you will likely say something like, "they are funny, kind, knows a lot about planes" or whatever. You probably wouldn't say "they have a big gut, big nose with receeding hair". Let your relationships be the judge of who you are.

Nice ours (29th) was because she got pregnant with twins in October and we needed a fast one so they weren't bastards! We did the obligatory shotgun pics with her brother holding it. The Christmas decorations were a pretty addition.

The cast were all young so didn't have the gravitas that we consider today. So it did flop then.

Yeah it didn't have the gripping story that The Outsiders did, so maybe the audiences didn't grab onto it as much.

Yeah that cast is even better, breathtaking even. Amazing how Coppola was able to pull together two amazing casts of different actors so close together.
