User Banned (3 Days): Boys Club Behaviour

That's pretty hot and much closer to the original design than I expected. I'm interested now.

Dude didn't even say "She's pretty hot", which could barely be seen "boys club behaviour" (at least to regular people).

"That's pretty hot" is about as offensive as "that's pretty cool". Not even actual sex-negative prudes are this prudish about language.

she cools my loins

[simiansmarts]

Warms my heart how many people suddenly miss the EU or at least acknowledge that the wise choice would have been adapting the best stuff and filtering the bad ideas.

this is the problem with basically all modern media: everyone wants to tell THEIR story at the expense of the existing story/characters/fanbase

Witcher, Velma, He-Man, a lot of the latter MCU

by contrast? the sonic movies are shitty kid stuff, but they straight up adapted SA2 for the third film and it worked really well, by sticking to those already-good-enough story beats

Brandon Sanderson talked about this on reddit once



It really explains so much

It’s been well known for a long time that producers value someone who can deliver a screenplay more than the quality of the stories themselves.

We should have a thread that is just replicating fast food recipes of all kinds, (current , limited edition, removed items, all of them) in the easiest ways possible, for cheaper and possibly even healthier. Bonus points if they can be frozen in components to be easily reheated later, so you can truly have them fast.
Hell, it's not like a lot of stuff at Taco Bell is specifically dunked in a fryer, so that should make it even simpler.

First, the Nazis wouldn't have allowed opposing parties to hold office in the first place. Second, rather than "investigating" political opponents (aka a totally normal thing done in all states) in hopes of finding some of those "three felonies a day" to take someone to court over they would have just sent some dudes to kill them.

Thank God those examiners kept this mental case off the roads

https://www.resetera.com/threads/getting-my-uk-driving-license-is-destroying-my-life-mental-health.1407949/

Hello OP, I also live in the UK, was 33 when I passed my driving test (last year), which I took at the start of februrary. I also recently moved to a remote town and needing a car was a necessity.

As someone who took 3 (maybe 4?) times to pass my test - and took a (shorter) break between starting to learn and finally passing - let me just say that I can certainly remember being in a similar position in terms of the anxiety building up.

I can sorta relate, though my "being stuck" due to no license/car ended in my late 20's. I also lived in a small town, transportation is minimal, bothering your parents or friends for every car ride became embarassing, and it legitimately sucked to see my peers reach all sorts of impressive results, while I was stuck with no end in sight.

I'm not from the UK but I took my driving test very late, in my mid 30's. I grew up thinking "I'm too dumb to have a drivers license".

I passed my driving test on the 3rd attempt at the age of 41 on Monday.

I passed mine on my 40th birthday after starting taking lessons in my early 30s.

Took me four tests for similar reasons. I just got really nervous on the day and made silly mistakes. I still believe the main reason I passed on my fourth test was because the examiner noticed my nerves instantly and said we'll just sit in the car for a while and chat first. He was really friendly, an amazing conversationalist, and it made a world of difference knowing he was aware of my nerves and actively trying to help me.

it took me four attempts to pass my UK driving test.

It's horrible. I've failed 3 times, and the mental exhaustion, prohibitive costs, and sheer dumbfuckery involved in just trying to book a test has really burned me out. My bank balance and I feel your pain.

I think I failed my bike test twice and my drivers test twice(finally got mine in my late 30s).

I took multiple times to pass my test and then I've never driven again since because I found it so stressful. (Lol)

(...also cars are expensive, which helps too.)

The advice about talking out loud was absolutely helpful for me - not only does it keep the instructor informed, but it helps you think too.

The other thing I would say though is that it's really not that bad getting a minor - it takes 15 minors to fail, so by extension 14 minors is still a pass

I did mine in the UK in 2022 and I was so glad to finally pass.

Took me 5 times to pass my test. Finally passed with the instructor talking about the World Cup as i was the last test of the day, lol.

I'm in a similar position, OP. Last test I took was about 2 years ago now. Was my 3rd test, and whilst driving back to the test centre after a perfect run, the examiner had to brake as I was just about to go through a red. The lights had gone red a second before, but of course that's no excuse.

Haven't had a lesson since and the atrocious booking system, ridiculous costs, and lapsed Theory Test has honestly made me just give up. Feels like a mountain to climb just to start, and it's one of the biggest reasons why I just don't even feel like I'm living life right now.

You have some surface parallels with my own former situation, in the sense of three failed tests and a few years break. In my case, I got the same examiner on each of my first three tests - a mourngy stuffed bitch who (I leaned after the first failure) had also failed just about every single one of my friends. Suffice to say the second and third test, recognising who the examiner was, my heart sank, and the pressure rose.

...

Anyway, seventh time turned out to be the charm

I started taking my lessons at 24, also failed three tests, and it knocked my confidence as to not pick up driving lessons again until last year.
Now I'm also a mid thirties anxious type getting close to another test. So I can relate!

I tell everyone this that I failed seven times until I finally passed. It took me two or three years. At one point I thought of giving up and would never get it done. For me, it took a really good instructor and using each lesson to focus on one weak area at a time to get better and avoid major faults. You just need to get cheese it on the test and pass. Look up all the driving test routes in your area, just youtube or search your area and driving test routes. There are apps, too. Do some deep breathing exercises before lessons and tests. If you're not calm, you will be prone to mistakes. So, focus on that first, then start driving.

OP I relate so hard. I'm 30 and decided this is the year I'm finally going to learn to drive instead of having to rely on lifts or the shit public transport in my town but oh my goddddd the anxiety. The thought of being in control of a 2-tonne death machine. all the RULES to remember. I'm convinced the second I get behind the wheel I'll forget everything and cause a 38-car pileup. It's terrifying and whenever people say they couldn't wait to learn to drive I can't relate at all lol

Are there special failure anxiety exams you can book?

Here in the Netherlands you have those and you get an instructor that is trained in spotting the difference between exam anxiety and driving anxiety, and how to deal with it.

my wife and I both took 3 tries to pass.

Passed my test at 34, what you're feeling is normal, and you'll get there if you keep trying!

Didn't learn until I was in my late 20s.

Always afraid of driving a speeding machine of death as well as having trust that all the other terrible drivers having the chance to just ruin my life cause they don't care about anyone and put them in danger cause of their selfishness.

I'm 43 and have never learned to drive. 1, because I live in London and transport is great, 2, because it costs an insane amount to learn, let alone get a car, and 3, because I have bad anxiety too and don't think I would cope well with the stress of driving (especially in London).

I do feel like it is something I should be able to do though, but I can't see me learning ever, unless I leave London and my anxiety dissipates.

Are there special failure anxiety exams you can book?

Unfortunately, no. We barely have any lessons to begin with; anything more than that doesn't, or might as well not, exist.

Genuinely, I think many countries would be shocked at just how god-awful our system is.

I failed each part of full motorcycle test 3-4 times due to stress/anxiety (I had been driving mopeds on the road with a CBT for years before going for the full license). I passed my car test first time with only a minor for going too slow. I had to mentally frame my car test as that it doesn't matter if I fall I can always take it again and took my time with it.

I'm glad the UK driving test is difficult, and I only wish it wasn't so easy for people to keep taking and failing the test until they get "lucky" and pass (as was suggested earlier in the thread).

Driving is a privilege that too many people treat as a right. The responsibilities it carries are enormous, and the consequences of failing in your responsibilities as a driver are regularly potentially fatal.

It took me three times to pass and my Dad is an instructor.

I was in my 30s when I passed my driving test as well since I moved to a place where driving a car is needed. I get really anxious when driving in a car for some reason. Weird as it sounds, I feel more comfortable and more confident on the road when I drive a bike instead since I've rode far longer than I have driven a car.

Don't worry op, just don't get disheartened and don't give up. I failed my bike test like 6 times and ironically passed in my first go on the car test....weird how that works out when I'm severely stressed behind a wheel but at peace holding handles lol.

To be fair, in the US a driving test consists of proving you didn't crash for 15 minutes or so. As I understand it the UK one is a giant checklist of stuff. I don't think you even have to get all TEN of the multiple choice driving law questions right in Michigan.

My friend failed his third test less than 60 seconds after starting due to terrible nerves, he exited the test car park through the entrance ramp.

[Boredfrom]

Given how Kathleen Kennedy announced more Star Wars projects that didn't get made than did, I'm inclined to believe him over her.

If you read the interview, that was very clearly conjecture on her part and NOT the main reason she said his trilogy didn't happen. She said it didn't happen because he went and did the Knives Out movies instead. Irresponsible reporting from everyone who ran with it.

There is no real reason to say “he got spooked” unless she is a totally unprofessional prick (which is against the narrative  ). She said that totally unprompted and a conjecture like that is also pretty telling when you are getting out of your current job and responsibilities. I imagine that the bad reception of TLJ between fans is a sore point for both of them, so I imagine there was always an understanding of pretending everything was fine and they are proud of that film.

Honestly, maybe the behind the scenes drama was way worse that people have commented or speculated.

What ERA is evading is that she is partially blaming him about the trilogy not happening, whatever for no  time or commitment to do it. Sounds like she feels that they could have pushed it forward even when the studio got the cold feet if he was involved.

Yeah, it’s pretty involved. You have to pass a multiple choice theory test on the rules, basic car maintenance, etc. Then there’s a hazard perception test.

Then the actual test is driving around on the public roads for half an hour with an instructor, performing various manoeuvres, where a single notable error (anything beyond going slightly too fast or too slow, or not visibly checking mirrors every few seconds) is a failure.

I have an American friend who got his licence by showing that he knew how to put the car in forward and reverse, and then a lap of some traffic cones in an empty car park

I’m not surprised the Resettis struggle with it so much

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

I passed first time at 17

[Boredfrom]

You guys got a driving test?  

I just went and paid for the license… the medical test was just giving extra money to them.

(  )

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

A lot of states are now doing actual driving tests, one of the few things I like from the Morena controlled state governments.

[benji]

So many American TV shows have bits about parallel parking because it's like the one potentially complex part of the tests and the one thing a "normal" character could plausibly fail.

I don't think you even have to get all TEN of the multiple choice driving law questions right in Michigan.

This is also FACTUALLY INCORRECT. I forgot that the first time you get a permit/license you take a 50 question version (still multiple choice and true/false), then a ten question one was what you take every so many renewals. In either case you have to only get 80% right. Michigan has actually transitioned to automatic renewal now so you don't even take the eye or short test anymore.

Most people do drivers ed around 14 and get their license at 16. If you don't start until 17 or 18 you can skip a bunch of the requirements for hours driving with parents/guardian/etc. It looks like this is increasingly the norm across all states. Michigan has traditionally been one of the more lenient states with car stuff, we have no inspections and different insurance requirements for example. I'll let you decide if this has anything to do with how many of the automakers and related were essential to the state. (Though IIRC Florida only requires you to have insurance against property damage. Presumably because actuarial tables judge Floridians as worth negative amounts of money.)

[Polident]

fwiw most Americans implode when faced with manual transmission.

[Boredfrom]

There's no reason or whatever to believe him or her. What she gave was her impression, it's inherently not factual. She has her impression and he has his own.

 

How the fuck you can say “he has his opinions and she has her” in “why a Hollywood project didn’t materialize even if it was announced”? 

THEY KNOW THE REASONS! 

Is just that both of them not want to admit it in public, specifically because both of them pretended to be chugging along just fine and be above the fan backlash.

I believe was Rian Johnson the first one to admit that his new trilogy was not happening months ago, just when Kennedy was announced to be retiring.

It started with Barrack Hussein Obamna  

They fucked over the middle class with a cabinet picked by the banks to "punish" the people for buying the homes they couldn't afford. Saved the savings of the boomers and the banks, tossed the millenials under the bus. At first they caught on, Occupy Wall Street and all that but having no leadership some bad actors came in and hijacked the grass roots movements.

Mitt Romney and all tried to warn them but they didn't listen. Russia wasn't a threat, women chasing careers and fucking around instead of stable families was empowering, the church had to accept the gays, the Arab spring was good etc. etc. up was down, down was up. Let the drag queens read to the children. Anyone who helped to spread the message got a leg up so they did. Any argument was shut down with: "You're racist", "You're a Nazi". More DEI hires, flooding Europe with migrants by destabilizing Libya. Letting ISIS run amock and kill Christians and other sects. Shipping any economic activity they possibly could to China.

One guy monitored the siutation and realized Obummer had destroyed all the competition and all anyone wanted was revenge

The Last Jedi is the best made and most competent film in the sequel trilogy by far. It's the only one with a coherent story and the only one that had any internal logic. However, it's still a shit Star Wars movie because it doesn't make sense in the overarching theme. It also treats the characters and audience like a bunch of fucking idiots (which most are by the way).

Any trilogy of films from him would have been a disaster and would have fully killed Star Wars dead. I'm still not convinced that the new Muppets in charge really know what they're doing either, but whoever fought to get Andor greenlighted should be the one calling the shots.

It's so funny. Here's a guy who essentially only makes good to great projects (movies, TV), and the best people can say is, "Yeah, well he just shouldn't make SW/he doesn't understand SW". Zero reflecting on how the most divisive film from a creator who pretty much never misses could actually he good and you could maybe reevaluate what people like so much about it. No, instead let's just say all the same talking points that all of right-wing YouTube bros say, too.

Or maybe he isn’t good making Star Wars and his Tv and Movie projects are good but not setting the world on fire. How dare people have opinions that are not my own, those fucking Chuds.

It's so funny that "Ruin" Johnson is this 5'5" guy with this high pitched voice who every cast member he's ever had says is the sweetest guy. Like, this is your villain? The nice guy who keeps making successful projects?

So? You want to give him a medal for that?  

You know another director that had successful tv and film projects and people loved worked with him? 

Paul Feig. 

Should we celebrate most of Micheal Bay slop because is successful? Should no one criticize Avatar films because James Cameron? We should pretend that Megalopolis is a misunderstood masterpiece because Coppola invested his own money on it?

The Last Jedi is the best made and most competent film in the sequel trilogy by far. It's the only one with a coherent story and the only one that had any internal logic. However, it's still a shit Star Wars movie because it doesn't make sense in the overarching theme. It also treats the characters and audience like a bunch of fucking idiots (which most are by the way).

Any trilogy of films from him would have been a disaster and would have fully killed Star Wars dead. I'm still not convinced that the new Muppets in charge really know what they're doing either, but whoever fought to get Andor greenlighted should be the one calling the shots.

I think it Kathleen Kennedy herself.

Isn't that ironic? 

Maybe evidence that if you throw enough shit at the wall, some of it will stick because the vast majority of her decisions as creative lead of Star Wars have been shit.

I'm seriously concerned about Filoni being in charge because no matter what the retard Millennials think the animated stuff was arse as well and most of The Mandalorian has been trash. Hell, that kids show Star Wars The Goonies was ok and that makes it better than everything bar Andor (including the films).
