I like to play video games, workout, go hiking, hangout with friends and watch tv/movies. Harry Potter and Star Wars are my favorites. I’m kinda introverted so a lot of times I prefer to just chill at home lol.

This is in a release date order so don't get confused. 2002 was the year of Spider-man, attack of the clones, Lord of the ring 2 and Harry Potter Chamber of secrets. That is 4 blockbusters. It is also the year of Big Fat Greek Wedding which had absolutely insane legs. Surprise hits and a lot of big budget flops too. 2002 started with Arnold's disaster Collateral Damage and ended with the blockbuster Lord of the Ring : two towers. Hope you enjoy this throwback. PS: these are only notable movies. I couldn't put everything here. Thanks

From CNN:

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie kicked off his second presidential campaign on Tuesday with a lacerating indictment of former President Donald Trump, calling his ally-turned-rival a “lonely, self-consumed mirror hog” who, by force of personality alone, represents a threat to the republic.
At a town hall event in New Hampshire, Christie – who endorsed Trump after dropping out of the 2016 primary and then became a close adviser to the former president ahead of the 2020 election – described his past support as an error and urged Republicans to join him in rejecting the GOP front-runner.
“Beware of the leader in this country, who you have handed leadership to, who has never made a mistake, who has never done anything wrong, who when something goes wrong it’s always someone else’s fault. And who has never lost,” Christie said of Trump.
“I can’t guarantee you success, but I can guarantee you that at the end of it, you will have no doubt in your mind who I am and what I stand for and whether I deserve it,” he said. “That’s why I came back to New Hampshire to tell all of you that I intend to seek the Republican nomination for President of the United States in 2024.”...
Christie’s announcement on Tuesday, which followed his filing with the Federal Election Commission earlier in the day, came a day after fellow GOP moderate Chris Sununu, the governor of New Hampshire, opted against running and less than 24 hours before former Vice President Mike Pence officially enters the race. Like in 2016, Christie is seeking to appeal to more traditionally conservative, establishment-friendly Republicans – and hope that he can emerge as a foil to Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a rapidly growing field.
Also similar to that first run: Christie is part of a crowded field that, if history is any guide, could pave the way for a nominee currently running with less than majority support among Republicans. Along with Trump and DeSantis, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott have all launched bids. Pence, who has already filed paperwork to run, and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum are expected to join the crowd on Wednesday.
Christie on Tuesday touted his ability to be a pugilist while also making a case for compromise – something he called out DeSantis, a former Freedom Caucus member in the US House who now enjoys unified GOP control of the state legislature, for never succeeding at or even attempting.
He also chided DeSantis and Trump over their murky positions on the Russian invasion of Ukraine and, in what sounded like a jab at DeSantis’ and other primary candidates’ attacks on “woke ideology,” said the field included a bunch of “pretenders” who are “talking about issues that are so small that sometimes it’s hard to even understand them.”
That group, Christie added, treated Trump like the “Harry Potter” villain Voldemort, whose name the books’ protagonists are banned from speaking.
“The person I am talking about who’s obsessed with the mirror, who never admits a mistake, who never admits a fault and who always find someone else and something else to blame for whatever goes wrong, but finds every reason for anything that goes right – is Donald Trump,” Christie said.
As CNN has previously reported, Christie believes he is best-positioned to take on Trump in the primary while also appealing to independents in a potential general election showdown with President Joe Biden. He begins his bid with the support of a new super PAC, called “Tell It Like It Is,” formed by allies in anticipation of his campaign.
Christie offered a less edgy take on Biden, accusing the president of “dividing” voters but also recalling their decades-old relationship. Being “timid,” “quiet” and “not speaking to us regularly” were, as Christie told it, Biden’s foremost sins. Along with his age.
“He’s a nice man. He’s out of his depth because he’s not the guy he used to be,” Christie said. “Father Time always wins.”
Christie’s flirtation with presidential politics began in 2011, when he considered running in a primary to take on then-President Barack Obama a year later. He demurred, then saw his standing with Republicans sag ahead of 2016. His 2016 campaign was short-lived and most memorable for Christie’s mocking evisceration of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in a February debate.
He helmed Trump’s transition team – though his work was eventually trashed and Christie himself sidelined days after the election – and later on became a close adviser to the former president. He was floated as a potential appointment to a number of administration jobs, though none ever materialized. He even participated in mock debates with Trump in 2020. (Christie has said he believes he contracted Covid-19 from Trump, who did not disclose a positive test result, during one of those sessions.)
Following Trump’s defeat and subsequent attempt to overturn the 2020 election, Christie turned on him and sought to establish himself as one of Trump’s chief Republican critics.
“We keep losing and losing and losing,” Christie said at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership conference late last year. “The reason we’re losing is because Donald Trump has put himself before everybody else.”
He also has said that Trump “incited” the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol “in an effort to intimidate Mike Pence and the Congress into doing exactly what he said in his own words last week: overturn the election.”
In an interview with Axios this year, he vowed never to support Trump again.
“I can’t help him,” Christie said. “No way.”
Asked by an audience member on Tuesday whether he had a plan to win over “Trump voters,” Christie disputed the characterization – and insisted that Republicans should not view people who had previously voted for Trump as an impenetrable group.
“There is no such thing as ‘Trump voters.’ He doesn’t own them. He didn’t take title to them. They’re not one of his buildings. They’re not one of his casinos in New Jersey. They’re not that wreck he’s got in Las Vegas,” Christie said. “I voted for him twice. Am I a Trump voter? Hell no, man.”

Part of me thinks they should redesign the appearance of everything to give it its own unique look (especially ones that might be more accurate to the books). I’m thinking of that recent post of a pre-movie sorting hat puppet or making the uniforms less like British school uniforms (remove the tie, emphasize robes, etc). It would be a way for the series to stand out with its own identity.
On the other hand, Warner Bros has spent a lot of time and effort merchandizing the Harry Potter brand and two conflicting visions could undermine that. Which one should be at Universal, for example? I don’t have a good answer to this question, but I thought it was an interesting one.

Bored at work today boss is out so I won’t have anything to do. Let’s entertain each other :)
I’m down to talk about whatever tbh I’m a pretty open book. Also down to play iMessage games if anyone wants?
I like to play video games, workout, go hiking, hangout with friends and watch tv/movies. Harry Potter and Star Wars are my favorites. I’m kinda introverted so a lot of times I prefer to just chill at home lol.

I used find his content funny during my school days, all the adult jokes were kinda funny. but, nowadays his content on YT is just trash. his audience grew old and probably are in their 20s and above. gen z likes more dark humor, outta pocket and fresh jokes.
what's your opinion?

I am gen Z and most if not everybody i know from my generation is left leaning and opposed to CSU/CDU , AFD, FDP etc.
And i am curious to know if i am right and how my generation, in theory, would vote if everybody was allowed to.

Kala ko ba kaya mababa sahod sa pilipinas, kasi mababa cost of living. Bakit yung mga foreigners (americans etc.) nasa pilipinas sila, pero in line parin yung wage sa america? Example, foreign companies based sa pilipinas or bpo. They still earn 20-50 USD per hour, tapos pilipino 1$ per hour???
500,000 a month tapos mga gen z nagaaaway para sa 30k starting salary. Tangina ang unfair nyan. In just 8 months, pwede na sila makabili ng 5 million house and lot. Bat kaya hindi i allign ng mga so called EXPATS na ito ung salary nila sa pilipino, parehas lang nman sila ng ginagawa at tsaka 8 hours per day.
Kaya kung may mga workmate kayo na foreigner, badtripin niyo na yan. Ipaghigante niyo naman ang pilipinas

Having lived in your beautiful country, I sympathize with the current dire situation for ordinary Lebanese. Your country deserves so much better.
I am passionate about raising the issue of mental health in the workplace, and have created a podcast talking about MH issues at work. I have dedicated the latest episode to mental health in Lebanon, as the issues and conditions there are unlike anywhere else in the west.
My guest talks about the meaning of resilience and mental health in Lebanon today. We discuss how mental health in the workplace is coloured by collective trauma and suffering; how to model healthy coping mechanisms to children; how the mental health conversation has evolved across generations and whether Gen Z is overcorrecting the mistakes of our parents.
I hope someone out there suffering with their mental health finds solace and some comfort from this episode.
