re: Section of Hongqi Bridge in China collapses months after opening
Posted by StringedInstruments on 11/11/25 at 2:28 pm to Fun Bunch
Is that the bridge that went viral on Tik Tok to show how China was so much further advanced than America?

Why do this?
Sure, it’s a moral victory but Durkin did a good job with chicken shite.

Nah. We had a personality and competed and didn’t look like lame ducks.
You can’t expect an interim to fix everything in a week. And yet, we looked like we had a pulse and pushed a good team to the last second.

Dominates the 1st half until the very end when we couldn’t punch it in from the 3 yard line? And then they start scoring?
Sounds familiar.

Every one of those movies is animated or a remake except for Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip (which looks good!).
Where are these movies?
The Sandlot
Little Giants
The Mighty Ducks
Rookie of the Year
My Girl
The Goonies
Honey I Shrunk the Kids
Home Alone
October Sky
Live action stories with hijinks to help construct a social reality for children.

re: Tesla shareholders approve Elon Musk’s historic $1 trillion pay package
Posted by StringedInstruments on 11/6/25 at 5:19 pm to RLDSC FAN
I understand Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon being absurdly profitable companies making their top shareholders some of the richest people in the world.
And I get that Tesla and SpaceX are profitable, but how is it they are to the point that they make Elon the richest guy ever? A trillionaire?
Billions of people own iPhones. Microsoft and Amazon have their cloud services and Amazon is pretty much the ruler of internet commerce.
What is it about Tesla that makes Elon so rich?

Wife and I were talking about this recently as we have young kids. They are currently all about K Pop Demon Hunters, which has a great message; but as you pointed out where are the live action movies
The live action aspect is crucial for kids to see the stories as applicable to their real lives.
I think there are good lessons in an animated film, but there's more distance when they're not real people.
There were so many good kids movies in the 80s and 90s. Some in the early 2000s. Then they just disappeared.

For the most part they exchanged life lessons and morals for indoctrination and propaganda though there may be some occasional exceptions
Perhaps.
But it seems more like Hollywood just wants to maximize profits and goes for blockbusters with every single movie they release.
We need an "A24" to get back to family-friendly movies. Even non-kid movies that are just meant to entertain.
Do rom coms still exist? I can't remember the last time a dumb chick flick came out

I've enjoyed showing my son movies like Little Giants, The Goonies, and The Sandlot over the years. They're classics. They don't do a whole lot besides entertain and tell a story. The story always has a moral or a theme that kids can relate to. And they're live action as opposed to animated.
The only kid movies that come out nowadays are animated. I can't even find a good live action kid movie made in the last ten years that wasn't part of an epic trilogy.
I can't imagine they're super expensive to make.
Where the hell did these movies go?

re: Americans' household debt hits new record high
Posted by StringedInstruments on 11/6/25 at 10:47 am to RLDSC FAN
$191k remaining on house
$8k remaining on two cars
Nothing other than that.
I don't consider the mortgage "debt" but I get that it technically is.
