  • Marvel films are the popcorn flicks of the 2010s. None of them are masterpieces, but most are just a fun watch.

    But now they’re often not even that. Besides a few outliers (No Way Home, GOTG3), they fail to even be entertaining popcorn flicks. I’d say the line is National Treasure. If it’s better than National Treasure, that’s a solid popcorn flick. If it’s worse, then it’s not worth watching.







  • I genuinely feel so bad for US students. Why do student loans have any interest at all, or at least such a high interest rate.

    It’s just such a terrible system that fucks over anybody trying to get an education, unless they can pay it off with Daddy’s money or be one of the few that gets a high enough paying job that it doesn’t cripple you.

    I have a $70,000 loan but thankfully I live in a country with 0% student loans interest (unless you move away to another country to live), so it means I can essentially ignore it and pay 10% of my income into it for the next decade or so and then it’ll be gone, whereas I’ve heard of people in the US paying many thousands of dollars in a year and only seeing their loan go up.
