I've yet to find an organization which didn't have a backlog of "stuff" that needs to be done, but isn't important enough to put on the schedule proper.

I'm sure most good/bad (depending on your POV) bosses would be able to find something for the worker to do, in most cases, even if it's spending 8 hours pretending to push a broom around

Still better than American jobs. x.x;

I'm pretty sure you've already mentioned this before. Especially that last one.

That can be fun if you're strong-willed enough. "Hey, you want to go home? Overtime reduction, there's nothing to do..." - "Nah, not today. I want to work."

This applies to the field of work as well. Meaning, your boss orders you to show up for a full shift, you show up on time and are absolutely willing to work, and then your boss realizes he has no work for you, your boss has to pay you for a full shift even if you don't work at all.

Fun fact: German law has a concept named "default in acceptance", which postulates that if there is a "service for payment" contract, the party that should provide the service correctly offers their due service, and the party that should pay fails to accept the service within due time, the second party still has to pay the first party even if there was no service delivered.

If it's seasonal affective disorder, check with your doc about vitamin D supplements.

That's what I was thinking too, It's the christmas rush and if that's not stressful enough the cold weather can also impact mental health.

Might be a stupid question given the comment, BUT: have you done anything outside the ordinary lately? Might just be a stress reaction.

I've experienced sleep paralysis with ghostly images and similar things in the past and can snap out of it through moving my fingers. I've definitely hallucinated before and members of both sides of the family have had similar experience, some suffered forms of mental instability in two cases schizophrenia.

So... either a hallucination or night terrors. Are you prone to this kind of thing?

It kept repeating until I sat up.

I've been up since three and when sheepish I was hallucinating something knocking twice against my bedroom door.

Then repaint Apeface and Snapdragon as Transmetal Optimus Primal and Megatron. It's crazy enough to work.

Moral imperative.

Wishful thinking, rumor or leak?

Snapdragon for Earthrise.

Still not the weirdest thing a Nic Cage character has done in a film

Couldn't be worse than him pissing fire as Ghost Rider.

The Tim Burton Superman Movie is the DC movie we deserve. It would have Nic Cage in a technosuit punching polarbears.

Wonder Woman was great. Shazam was amazing. Aquaman... exists.

TBF, Aquaman and Shazam! were pretty good.

Not a difficult feat.

You just put more effort into telling a compelling story than all of WB's execs.

Cue the flashback to Jonathan, reassuring a terrified child: "What you are is never as important as who you are." Cue Superman's response to Brainiac: "I already know who I am."*John Williams fanfare plays*

I don't think we even really need to see Krypton. I'd start with Clark growing up in Kansas, thinking he's normal, and follow him through the development of his powers. There've been enough alternate takes on Krypton that it could actually work as a mystery; is this the pre-Crisis utopia, the sterile science world, or the relic of a fallen empire? Brainiac was there, and he tempts Clark with the knowledge of what he really is.

First, a Krypton film, ending with baby Kal-El being found on Earth.  Then Supe's early career film, establishing his values... and if Jonothan Kent needs to die, it happens because of something like a heart attack while Clark is savnig folks on the other side of the world.  After we know Clark minimizes property damage and never kills, have Zod & Company show up and force him to make tough choices.

Man of Steel seems like someone came up with a Superman trilogy and then the execs said "We've got to catch up to Marvel, make it one film!".  I don't mean that based on the film's actual pacing, but because various story beats make more sense to me if they weren't all squished together.

I've been wanting to write a Superman movie trilogy for years; "Man of Steel" (featuring a Terminator-like Brainiac) was going to be first, with "Last Son of Krypton" (featuring the Eradicator) as the sequel and "Man of Tomorrow" (in which Luthor makes his face-heel turn) as the conclusion. Thanks to Snyder I have to re-arrange my titles.

I still wish "Man of Steel" had instead been an adaptation of both the John Byrne miniseries of the same name and the Jeph Loeb/Tim Sale miniseries "Superman For All Seasons".

A take I just read: Man of Steel is shot with such a lack of lighting that it is easier to discern what is going on in a porn film.

Making Soylant is harder then it looks, it's not like the movies, you have to keep whacking and hacking at the ingredient, it'll scream and fight, maybe bite but eventually it will go down.

varies from person to person.

It's an acquired taste

Soylent? Its pretty awful.

Depends on your denomination of Christianity

@Benbot Do they have a soy-free version? Like maybe just "Lent?"

Just occurred to me 'Autobot' Megatron happened in Target 2006.

have you tried Soylent? It's pretty good! https://soylent.com/

i prefer free-range human usually. pain in the ass to hunt though...

If your human is all bones, you may have purchased a skeleton by accident. Contact your grocer to inquire about exhange policies.

Vegans are categorised as human therefore just fall under Soylant, they are usually all bones.

Cause... that latter one is technically all burgers anyway.

So... a burger made without meat, or a burger made with the meat taken from a vegan?

I had a vegan burger last week, this week I'll give a vegan steak a shot.

a proper paradox would have broken the board. Nice try though.

This shout is empty.

I've got the admit. tubi tv is great. It's got a lot of stuff.. Including Super Sentai.

There is frankly no better place to (legally) find schlock on the internet for free than Tubi TV
