“The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” (2013 version) is beautiful and thoughtful. Completely unlike any other Ben Stiller movie that I know of.

“The Fountain” (2006) might qualify too, though it’s a lot heavier.

“Amélie” (2001)

“Hector and the Search for Happiness” (2014) is decent too, though I’m a Simon Pegg fan so it gets extra points for that

The guys who came along years later and were (more) openly about drugs and sex (instead of semi-covertly about it)

The Rolling Stones were always the spoiled rich kids pretending to be tough. The Beatles were poor kids pretending to be posh. There are whole books written about that dynamic.

I thought free software was when you were the product and non-free software actually supported developers.

Or do you mean non-OSS?

The color or the fruit?

Where does it say they were American? I missed that if it did.

Let me introduce you to the world of professional sports. Especially hockey, but others too.

Not at the scale of Hollywood, for sure. But it’s been going on a very long time. There are 4th generation NHLers at this point.

No matter where you live, AirBnB/VRBO can only make housing prices go up, never down. At best it’ll be neutral. It’s always taking inventory that might otherwise go to a local.

12 of the first 28 Presidents of the USA (which is the time Fitzgerald was doing his thing) had Irish heritage. 3 of them were first generation Irish (parents born in Ireland). Most of the police force of NYC was stereotyped as being all Irish by this point.

Yes, there were areas and times they were disadvantaged, but don’t even compare it to women and non-whites at the time.

…If you were white, male, and probably reasonably affluent.

I think that’s the basic premise of the Star Trek hypospray. Pressure pushing in medicine rather than a needle.

Most of the people you’re thinking about as a problem haven’t read the Bible either. They’d think the stuff Jesus said was commie, bleeding-heart, socialist stuff (because it is)

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose.

Or my favorite variation: You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t wipe your friends on the underside of the car seat.
