Really? Worst alt-mode ever.

To ashes we transform.

They aren't all cranky... sure, it's hard to find one in a good mood, but still.

Cranky geese is a hell of a tautology

... that's like the third flock of geese this morning. Do those cranky bitches know something I should know?

Isn't there a thread for that?

I took a few hours off from work so I could attend. Actually met two coworkers there.

Anyone else here who participated in a climate change rally yesterday?

In case anyone's wondering.

Also, she pronounces her own name "Zuh-see".

I think I'd read a while back she was born in Berlin

I thought Zazie Beetz was really fantastic in Deadpool 2. Really looking forward to seeing her in Joker.

Any sightings of Ratchet at U.S. Walgreens yet? A couple of stores around me have recently restocked their toy aisles but no Ratchets yet at those ones.

You don't even hear a hint of an accent, and she only very rarely chooses some odd wording where she probably wasn't familiar with the more appropriate alternative due to its relative obscurity.

Just watched what's possibly the most relaxed interview ever of a German Youtuber interviewing Zazie while walking around Berlin. Turns out she was born in Berlin and spent quite some time in Germany.

Actors and actresses I had no idea speak fluent German, part 4.231: Zazie Beetz from Deadpool 2.

It's too bad it's like this because some of what they're doing with tiny cars is pretty cool, but I'm not willing to sign up for that f-ing hassle.

At this point I'm trying to decide how much of a markup I'm willing to pay some scalper scum or if I should just say to hell with it.

That is pretty much the constant story with Hot Wheels. Anything you might actually want has most likely been picked clean and marked up.

I've been watching some Youtube Hot Wheels videos out of boredom and discovered there exists a new car that just came out maybe a month ago that looks just like one I had when I was little, and I've been looking around hoping to get it. Slim picking everywhere, but online there are a slew of sellers asking for 3 and 4x the retail price, plus a hefty shipping markup.

Oh, that explains the problem I've encountered with finding one little car

Oh boy. I work at Target, and literally every single morning, there are two or three guys outside who make a beeline straight to the Hot Wheels.

Which collecting community has the worst scalpers?

I've never read the source material and don't know much about it, but I enjoyed the first film quite a bit, and found the second alright

The first movie was definitely not for me. I flat out hated it. Didn't even bother with the sequel.

I liked the first movie a lot and enjoyed the original volume of the book, and the way they were developed in parallel was really interesting. It all got super extra unpleasant as soon as they went back though. I don't remember really whether the initial sequels are "good" or not, but either way both the second movie and the second run of the book quickly demonstrated that the property sure wasn't for me.

i have a real hard time offering praise of anything connected to an utter shitstain like Mark Millar.

Kick Ass 2 was okay for what it was, a sequel to a film that was okay, just okay. It had a good performance from Nic Cage while the sequel had Jim Carrey who decided he didn't want to promote it after one of america's regularly scheduled massacres.

Was Kick Ass 2 really that bad? I never got around to seeing it, but after watching the first movie again the other day, I'm thinking about it.

Why do you feel a need to label yourself for doing something harmless?

thats more than i look at on reddit

am I a basic bitch for only browsing the front page of Reddit?

I managed to find about 2/3s of my goal Sega Genesis collection before the last price bump

So relieved that I picked up most of my NTSC GameCube collection in 2010/11 before prices on the secondary market went bezerk...

I have fond memories of it since it was the last console Mario Kart that didn't have the ridiculous pre-race cart assembly

Like many Gamecube games, underrated

Double Dash is great. Just watch out for blue shells

I used a double dash on my mobile. The chat didn’t like it.

The mobile version of the site chokes on certain characters, I think.

what's with that punctuation anyway

Now where did that come from, Bass X0?

Politics and Religion — tools of foul play!

If you owe, you're expected to actually pay it at the time you file, before they even process your return

If you file electronically, I find you usually get your refund within a couple weeks

Well, lucky it took less than two months for me. For a little over 200 Euros.

Pretty much, yeah. Canada revenue will be all up your ass if you earn less than 200K and owe tax, but your refund is basically "duke nukem forever".

Whereas if you overpaid and they have to refund you, they will take their sweet time to let you know.

Like, here in Germany, if the tax authority responds to your tax report quickly, you can rest assured they want more money.

Do tax authorities in other countries base their time to respond to filed tax reports on whether they owe or are owed as well?
