The Matrix 1

They all hold up so well and in particular their vfx. In the Matrix it’s probably more the plot than the vfx, even though it had merit coining that frozen up bullet time shot aesthetic. But in general every time I watch these I can’t help but marvel at how well put together they are and then I remember when they were released and then I compare them to the mediocre releases decades after that and yeah. I’m in awe.

That’s the neat part,

Lol. Thanks for typing this. As a woman, I always had a similar appreciation of most menswear but couldn’t really articulate what was about it that made it feel so off.

There are a few places where there is nice mens clothing but it’s usually ridiculously expensive.

Hopefully until the platform dies

Ohhh didn’t know about libredirect

Turkey smuggler, the evolution of budgie smuggler

Hehehehe selling art is very hard already, you want to do so to a race of snobbish aliens? I mean 100% with you that’s what they will attempt, but I have my doubts on profitability

No, lol I think the lemming saying we would try to nuke them is spot on but jokes aside most people wouldn’t give a rats arse about these new aliens and only a very small minority would try to create art that appeals to their tastes- just to see if they can cater to their standards.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen bigger! I’m okay with them usually, but they can make you uneasy. I had one living under my car bonnet for about a month in one occasion, the guy would come out at dusk and scare the shit out of me while driving. He would run all over the outside of the car and not fall, which is remarkable considering I did up to 70kms ph.

Gotta admit I had to read that headline three times to make sense of it

I would go to HR since this sounds like covert harassment to me. Don’t think it’s ridiculous - you have the right to be left in peace. Lots of red flags on your post. However, it’s worth trying to talk to him first, so here are my suggestions:

If you are working: sorry Mr Loy, this is not a good moment. I’m trying to get work done

If you are not working, but also not ballsy enough to tell him to go away: sorry, I need to go ( go to the toilet or just pretend to be in a rush)

If you really want to set up boundaries anytime (recommended): thanks Mr Loy but I’m not interested

The tone in which you say things has a lot of weight though. If you can sound tired and bored of him, all the better. People who pick and harrass others typically go after people who react either hysterically or annoyed, or also after people who appear coy or shy and polite. I hope this helps.

It’s hard to say given I don’t have a clear list of Vietnam spiders but this is a Sparassidae, ( a huntsman), and as for family some possibilities are Sinopoda, Rhithymna, Pseudopoda, and Heteropoda.

My vote goes for huntsman spider, and a male one at that, but I can’t say which species. Will have a quick lookup and see if I can narrow it down for you

Yes it looks like a huntsman to me too. We see very similar ones here in Australia

Sorry, but it’s not. Look at the leg length and proportions, also the last segment of each leg- our mystery spider is a type of huntsman spider

HAKUNA… MATATA!

No, all I can say is when I was a child my mother and occasionally grandmother had that effect. It started to get less effective during my teens and it’s certainly no longer a thing anymore. As for other sources that truly nurture AND make me feel safe, no, I can’t think of a single one. I’ve had plenty of people taking nurturing and protective roles in my life but I wouldn’t say their effect was of full restoration and complete safety. Same goes for places. Something is always amiss or not enough for full recharge and safety.

I don’t know, I don’t think I have one of these in a consistent manner. Home space isn’t necessarily that effective for everyone, so it’s not a given.

That I couldn’t boot up my laptop. I’m yet to try turning it on. I think I need a nap first

Araucaria species. Because of their shape. They are the best.

I also really really like Magnolia trees, the large grandiflora ones ( those with the large glossy leaves and white flowers). I mean the flowers are amazing, but the way their trunks develop in very large specimens is so good, those semi buttressed roots and aerial offshoots hanging down are crazy amazing.

So yeah, araucarias and magnolias.
