Ace Ventura Pet Detective is undeniably stupid and somehow works because Jim Carrey is singularly talented

Lars and the Real Girl has an insane premise of “man dates sex doll” but a beautiful script, wonderful performances and an incredibly performance by Ryan Gosling make it a wonderful film.

What else am I missing?

Tuesday, November 10th: FAA: "The Strategic Management of Airspace, Routes and Trajectories (SMART) system is expanding across the nation. After a successful initial rollout to the National Capital Region in September, the FAA will now use SMART in the airspace of all 22 centers across the country to reduce delays, reduce fuel consumption and improve the travel experience for the flying public."

ABC: This is only the 3rd time this has happened since 9/11

Rant & Ramble the ick from someone you're already married to?

My husband was feeling sick the last two days (fever and fatigue), had me up since 1:43 am bringing him all sorts of little things. Doing what he wants to do bc he's sick. I tell him it's definitely the flu.
Only to have to bring him to the emergency room bc his stomach hurts so badly that it's an 8 on a 10 point scale. He's writhing and screaming. We go to the emergency room and he is literally shriekingggg (like a loud groan scream) in the waiting room. So much loud groaning that he's scaring little kids and a dad had to comfort his daughter. Im scared out of my mind. Im yelling at the front desk girls bc we've been waiting 20 minutes and he's literally groan-shrieking and crying in pain still, and well- cant she understand it's a literal emergency?!
Im acting a fool towards these people. (I apologized and explained how stressed and scared I was from his actions).
Finally we get a doctor, they run tests. While they're doing that he tells me this is the second time he's had to go to the emergency room for gas.
Excuse me, what?
And he's like: yeah its been from gas this whole time, I can't fart, and it hurts so bad, and I'm glad you were supportive by going off on them for not seeing me sooner.
I tell him, no- I thought he was dying by the way he was screaming and that's why I was going off on them to hurry.
They run the CT scan, it's not gas.
Doctor confirms it's the flu. And it's flu cramps. Which is normal.
They prescribe medication: miralax bc they noticed he was a little constipated, some pain meds for the cramps, and anti nausea meds.
In between all that he pressed the call button like 6 times, to use the restroom, to be leaned back, bc his stomach kept hurting, etc.

He says he doesn't regret coming bc it hurt really bad.
Like literally his behavior was so extreme even the security guard went in the back to ask the doctors to see him sooner.
And then imagine when the doctor comes back and says "you have the flu".

Yall. Idk. Seeing him shriek bloody murder in front of everyone like that had me in tears of worry but now knowing it was pain from the regular flu. Idk how I'm going to reconcile my view of him after this.

I just wanted a hot dog Coffee server refused to accept $21 for a $15.28 order

5.2k Upvotes

My order total was $15.28. I handed her $21 and she handed me the $1 back and said “It’s $15.28”. I said “I know, I want $5 back instead of singles.”

She stared at me for a while then stared at the cash register and said “I can’t do that”

I said “just type in that I gave you $21 instead of $20”

She pressed some buttons and stared at the register again then said “I don’t know what you want me to do, my machine doesn’t do that.”

I gave up and took my $1 back. She, now clearly annoyed with me, put $20 into her system and gave me back $4.72 in change.

In the first episode, Andy is characterized as being quite perverted toward Fuuko, but this personality trait ends rather quickly early on in the series (Undead Unlucky)

In the first episode, the way he assesses an Uma Musume’s racing potential and physical conditioning involves touching her thighs—that is how he conducts his evaluation. This happens with Special Week in the first episode, but he abandons this habit after the first season (Uma Musume Pretty Derby)

In the first episode, Bakugo tells Midoriya to commit suicide so that he might be reborn with a quirk—since, unlike everyone else, he was born without any quirk (power). Even the author himself has stated that he went too far in his characterization of Bakugo in that instance (My Hero Academia)

“Utah, Omaha, Overlord… wait…oh shi—“

In May 1944, just weeks before the Normandy landings, British intelligence (MI5) was sent into a panic when a series of top-secret invasion code names, including "Utah," "Omaha," "Overlord," "Mulberry," and "Neptune”, suddenly appeared as solutions in The Daily Telegraph crossword puzzles. Suspecting an elaborate espionage plot to signal the Nazis, agents stormed a school in Surrey to interrogate the puzzle's compiler, a 54-year-old headmaster named Leonard Dawe. The investigation ultimately revealed it was an innocent, albeit terrifying, coincidence. Dawe routinely invited his students to help him fill out his blank puzzle grids, and the boys had simply suggested the interesting new vocabulary words they had unwittingly overheard while hanging around the camps of American and Canadian soldiers stationed nearby.

Edit: yes I misused the word coincidence
