such an abysmal movie and sequel. Which sucks because I love the actors and I love all things magic.

I just fucking hate how they seem to have real magic, rather than being very clever magicians. At least with "The Prestige" (can't believe I'm comparing these two) they give a really satisfying explanation for how one version of the trick is done, then present the audience with an even more interesting question on whether or not it should be done.

This movie wants the audience to think they are magicians doing tricks when in reality none of that shit is possible and only real magic would explain it.

Stupid, stupid, stupid all around.

People use Tiktok because it is addicting as hell.

In what way is the short of this video worse than the normal version?

This video was good tho

Is that the one w Michael Keaton moonlighting at bed bath and beyond to put his gay kid thru college?

If so, his character makes up for all other deficiencies.

Noooo! YouTube shorts make me understand why people use tiktok

I am with you on Now You See Me being terrible (dunnot about worst movie of all time - you should try Red Letter Media if you want to see what those look like).

I also find Ferrell's 'yell until its funny' type of humour to be pretty grating and overrated. BUT, The Other Guys is a great film (I am assuming thats the one you mean) and has plenty of jokes that land. Comedy rarely pleases everyone though.

I went to Pensacola for college, which is the home of the Blue Angels. You can often see them practicing from the beach. When they are going fast and heading straight towards you... you don't hear them until they are right on top of you or even past you. It's terrifying because they are super loud too. It's amazing how something that loud can be so sneaky.

Got hit with a killer "sneak-up" flyover from a distant air show. We were at a pier on a beach looking at the air show going on miles away across the water. The planes would come out over the lake, but never closer than maybe a half-mile or so. Suddenly a jet comes from the land side of our view (behind us) and the sound blasted us all at once. Entire pier of people were jump-scared by that one.

Is there an extension to replace the /shorts/ with /v/ automatically in the URL? This will convert a short to normal playback but I've been doing it manually.

Most electrical energy consumed in the US is generated by burning fossil fuels. That energy had to be generated, transported, and then used to charge your battery, which has losses at each step. It also has to move a lot more mass in a typical EV than in their ICE counterpart, and especially in this Hummer.

So no, it's not really that efficient in terms of energy use -- a train or a bicycle and even a fossil fuel burning bus would be a lot better. And even compared to a normal car, unless you are installing your own solar panels to charge it, it isn't guaranteed to be less efficient in terms of carbon emissions, and with the Hummer it's been widely spoken of that they are far worse than even the ICE Hummer.

The only point you might have is air pollution, but the power stations are still burning that fuel and they are often doing so in or near cities. Car tires also produce toxic dust from friction with the roads and since EVs are heavier than other cars on average, they tend to produce more of this dust.

There's a marginal improvement in all of the EV business to what we were doing before, but there are still so many better options, like the e-bike. And if your choice is the hummer than you really can't claim any

From one pedant to another: saying “your point is nonetheless diminished” implies that their point is diminished. Nonetheless means “however” or “despite anything to the contrary”. You could have said “Nonetheless, your point is undiminished.”

It is, to this day, my #1 worst movie of all time, followed closely by that Wahlberg-Ferrell buddy cop movie. But that's just 'cause I can't stand Will Ferrell's comedy.

Never mind the characters, nothing in that plot or universe makes a lick of sense.

I am using my imagination. I'm using it to try to see this from the point of an idiot and am obviously failing. I say again, why would they do this if it didn't work? And who gives a fuck if you knew what happened or not? You'd bug the fuck out of their as quick as you could. You wouldn't be hanging around to find out if it happens a second time. It's like being in an unfamiliar part of town and hearing something out of the ordinary. You don't hang around, you get out of there asap. This is that turned to 14. I swear, it must be tiring for you, having your two brain cells constantly fighting for third place...

I probably wouldn't know wtf just happened. Use your imagination for two seconds.

I was talking about the phone experience. Which is identical whether it's a regular video or short. Both would be in portrait and require to press a button to read comments

I hate YouTube shorts why can't I cast it? Why can't I get rid of the prominent pause button? Truly a terrible youtube feature

So. Your first thought when you got blasted by this would be to just continue driving onwards? Did you watch the video? The car and it's occupants got their shit rocked. That's a pretty clear signal to literally everyone on the planet besides you that maybe something is up and you should probably not keep doing what it is that you're doing. But sure, tell me more how you'd just plow on like someone with a room temperature IQ...

Because for the flyover to have the effect you want I have to know I'm somewhere I shouldn't be. Are you ok? Have fun scaring randos and then blowing them up because they're confused bud.

How the fuck do you get that logic from what I said?! Do you think the pilot cares if you know if you're there or not? Cos they sure as shit don't. You know what a lot of people do when they panic? Turn tail and run away. It's an innate response. Sure, some clam up. But a lot don't and will do everything to remove themselves from the situation. Think about it, would they do this if it wasn't effective?

And by that logic I should already know I'm in a place I shouldn't be. Clearly the scenario is when I'm oblivious to my error. This will only scare me into a panic.
