I mean, that would be shattering the veneer of civility, that's just a step too far for the DNC

The fact that it was ever even a contest is more terrifying than a thousand Cthulus

Still recovering from my gallbladder surgery

They gave me one days worth of baby percocet to deal with the pain, so I've just been taking edibles and playing Paper Mario on my switch

Gotta love how they expect you to deal with the removal of an organ with ibuprofen and acetaminophen

I'm gonna spoil the movie, so if you care, it's probably best if you stop reading here because I'm not putting the entire thing in spoiler tags

So, long story short, Civil War is a beautifully made film that's also cowardly and disappointing

The cinematography is great, the sound is excellent, but the movie lacks something very important, an actual message

If the movie is supposed to be about truth and journalism and its importance, that never comes through, instead it feels very much like "The Troops are Brave: Camera Edition"

Because at no point in the film does the actual work journalists do comes up, instead you're treated to scene after scene of our protagonists taking pictures of war and atrocities, but never actually saying anything about it, which seems to be the tack the film itself is taking

That war is bad, but never bothering to explore the how's and why's of the conflict

The most hints we get as to why the president is bad is a mention that he has a third term (gasp) and ordered air strikes on civilians

Which, uh, I suppose is enough for some people, but the vociferousness with which the forces of the aptly named Western Forces pursue and execute the president suggest something far more interesting, which the movie could not even be bothered to even try and explore

To make a film about the United States becoming balkanized without bothering to even offer a smidgen of backstory as to its causes or even into the politics of the sides only serves to make the film a hollow shell

We're left with nothing to the film, and it seems like they're not even bothered by that, which is an absolute shame because they could have at least tried to say something

Instead, they chose very hard to say absolutely nothing, which only makes the apathy all the worse

So, my partner finally decided to get with on the trolley and start getting shit for free

Problem is, I've been out of the sailing game for a while, so I don't know what's good anymore and I figure y'all probably know what's gonna work best for us anyway

I'm sort of tech savvy, but anything on the less finicky side would probably be best

Thanks in advance, -Love, Flakes
