Once in a blue moon, a troll of such magnitude will come along that unites the entire forum against them. This is such a day

*fails to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius* Those temperatures sound wild when you don't convert them

As you were. Alternative suggestions for a title are welcome. Please note that anyone who posts in this thread will be in my debt, BTW. Thank you for your understanding

you know why I'm here

The biggest selling point!

I see, thanks for the info. I'm going to look into it some more because I would obviously prefer to listen in a way that's more supportive to the authors. The books I have seen included with Premium do seem to be the big sellers, unless that's just the algorithm making recs to me

This is perhaps too obvious but its not dental issues is it? I've had dental problems and the shooting pains all over your face are debilitating at times

Right. It is disappointing that her name is brought into the conversation every time he does something controversial or shitty.

Do you know what the exact mechanics of this are? I use Spotify Premium and have noticed I get a certain allowance of audiobook hours per month. I'll admit I've already used the once but I'd be interested to know how it works, and how fairly (or not!) authors are being treated here

"knowledge"

Oh, you don't like Death Becomes Her? After all these years you reveal this black mark on your name? NOW a warning? Blocked. I watched it before I was aware enough to consider any political implications. Its just not a good film, overly lonng, stupid, saccharine. I'm sure it appeals to some audiences, but I am not them. Revisiting when I was older the messaging was certainly even more off putting

Chat GPT, but swerve it to the right

..can't wash them often? Are all socks not washed after one wear?

This sounds really good. Soups are also a great place the start if you're not a confident cook. They are really easy to do, adjusting flavours is simple and they are generally quick to prepare too.

People the same age as me not realising a song is a cover rather than an original. We grew up at the same time in the same place in very similar circumstances, HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS?! On a, perhaps related note, I get irrationally annoyed when people don't know references or stupid random facts that I know. For instance, I was working on something the other day and made a mistake, colleague beside me then said "Oh sorry I should have said don't do [boring explanation]." I said "NOW a warning?" And he just looked at me and said "Sorry." WHAT HAPPENED TO CULTURE?!

RAYE sweeping nominations at the Brits after a shitshow of a decade with her former label, very correct. My 21st Century Blues was a brilliant album

With your new business I expected you to be renting out the Sagrada Familia for duration. Pocket change, fah!

coming for Robbie herself is a weird take since she doesn't seem to be overly beat up about this and, to all appearances, whether you think them genuine or not, Co es across as a very nice and likable person. Don't blame her that other people are getting all up in arms about it. And I say that as someone who agrees with what seems to be the majority opinion on this board, that she wasn't snubbed here (for all that I do think she gave a great performance).

La Roche Posay has some really excellent skin care, from cleansers to moisturisers to serums etc. They have different ranges depending on your problems. I've been suffering with dry skin and eczema as I've mentioned here previously and after clearing up the outbreak its been great for keeping my skin hydrated and clear. I am pretty sure they have some lines aimed at acne and/or oily skin. I'd say its worth a look at least!

I've been on a Rina Sawayama kick lately. I know she's popular here but has she made much impact in the States?

This is so bad its come around to be funny again and I'm cackling

This part made me laugh out loud: Eta: I hate every one of these potential leaks but they sound accurate to what we've seen so yes, I believe them. How many episodes is this supposed to be? Its a lot of ground to cover even without at least 2 standalones.

Speaking of America Ferrara, I've just finished watching Ugly Betty for the first time (I was slightly too young when it started and didn't watch much TV in any case). A few things haven't aged well but at its heart, the show holds up and I really enjoyed it. And God damn if Vanessa Williams isn't one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. She's also just got such a natural commanding presence that made her perfect as Wilhelmina

One of my favourite things to do as a child was going into town with my mam and grandparents, going to the bookshop and flicking looking at all the maps in the sci-fi and fantasy books. I had a collection if the Narnia stories in hardback where the cover was a map of Narnia and the surrounding lands and seas and there were times when I would just sit studying it and taking delight in the things I'd not previously noticed. It was this one: https://www.awesomebooks.com/book/9780007640218/the-chronicles-of-narnia/used?gclid=CjwKCAiAkp6tBhB5EiwANTCx1O0W471mq3Xr05-_Qo1cbZYgrm008C538-cyk4qLEMo90Vm06Ui-aBoCqA4QAvD_BwE Point is, a map was a huge draw for me in any book I was reading

Once again weighing in with an uneducated and uninformed post but the Kong x Godzilla trailer just has me humming The Monkey Song from Jungle Book.
