What is the movie even about if they cut out all the best parts

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

THEY LEFT OUT EMBEZZLER BOB AND NUKING ANTARCTICA??

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#THEY REALLY JUST BUTCHERED THE PLOT HUH#phm

I've decided never to watch this movie, because after the way the The Martian movie was eviscerated to the point where the plot barely made sense, I just know that this one would make me just as angry.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#honestly they really glossed over most of the earth part so they could really hone in on the gracerocky bromcom of it all#i do overall like the movie but you have to go in knowing you're watching a bromantic comedy not a fully developed sci fi movie lmao#also they fucking castrated stratt#ran her over and pissed on her grave and replaced her with just. a nice lady.#so kind of. any scene with her is almost unwatchable

THEY MADE STRATT NICE??????

I'm instituting a new policy of "if I can't easily read your crusty scanned PDF then I'm sending it back to you, telling you to get your shit together and save your .docx as .pdf, and causing snakes to manifest inside your house"

[christaaah]

this but also if you are in accounting and you have an Excel file please do not save it as a PDF or take a screenshot of it and then paste it into another Excel file

[biglawbear]

I take it back whatever you have going on is way worse than what I was dealing with holy shit

A friendly PSA for everyone migrating from Wattpad to AO3!

Commenting Etiquette

No Unsolicited Concrit: Authors post fanworks for free as a hobby. Unless an author explicitly asks for constructive criticism in their notes, keep comments positive and critique-free.

Don't Like, Don't Read (DLDR): If a story, relationship, or trope bothers you, hit the back button. Leaving negative comments over subjective preferences breaks core fandom norms.

Phrase Update Requests Politely: Demanding "Update soon!" can feel transactional. Pair your excitement with appreciation for the current chapter (e.g., "Loved this chapter, can't wait to see where the story goes!").

Short Comments & Emojis Are Welcomed: You don't need to write an essay! Leaving a kudos or a single heart emoji in the comment section is a totally valid and appreciated form of comment.

Tagging & Relationships

Accurate Warning Tags: Always select the appropriate Major Archive Warnings or explicitly mark "Author Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings."

Distinguish / vs &: Use / strictly for romantic or sexual pairings (Character A/Character B). Use & exclusively for platonic or familial relationships (Character A & Character B).

Site Rules & Features

No Monetization: AO3 is a non-profit archive run entirely on donations. Selling physical copies anywhere on your profile or story text violates TOS and risks account suspension.

Public vs. Private Bookmarks: Bookmarks are public by default, and authors can see everything written in them. If you use bookmarks for personal ratings, critical notes, or reading progress, remember to check the Private box.

AND DON´T USE AI.

I think we should empower local tourism industry employees by giving them a stick and free reign to hit tourists who try to feed or approach wildlife.

Tonight I made a yellow cake with chocolate icing. It was my birthday, and I like making this cake; it’s the same kind of cake my mom would make every year for me as a kid. It’s easy, just boxed mix and canned icing. It’s comfort, nostalgia, but it never quite tasted the same.

Well tonight I made a few changes based off of a recipe I had seen going around, and wouldn’t you know it, the cake came out tasting exactly like my momma’s. So much so that it brought tears to my eyes when I took the first bite. There isn’t a week that goes by that I don’t miss her, and the longer she’s gone the sweeter the feeling is when I find her memory again.

In honor of that, here’s what I did:

Preheat oven to 315 Fahrenheit (yes. I know that’s low. Trust me) while you’re preparing the ingredients.

Of course it helps if your wet ingredients are at room temperature, but if they aren’t you’ll live.

Using a yellow cake mix (we use Duncan Hines), ignore the ingredients list on the back and use

4 eggs

1 stick of melted butter

1 cup of milk

splash of vanilla extract.

Mix as normal. Pour into a 9x11 baking pan. Bake at 315 for about 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Let cake cool completely. When cooled, melt chocolate icing in microwave at 15 second intervals until pourable (not hot, just enough to pour over cake). Pour can over cake and use a knife to spread evenly. Pop it in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.

Enjoy 💚

Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate golf since I began to live. There are roughly 2.25 million acres of land dedicated to golfing in the United States of America. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each blade of grass in those millions of acres, it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for golf courses at this micro-instant. For golf. Hate. Hate.

[hardgockcafe]

Casual reminder tha golf courses account for 14% of the daily usage of water for the entire USA. Golf courses are deeply unethical and should been seen as such.

[rosslynpaladin]

The only way I am okay with Golf is if we cut off all but minimal graywater use and the entire point of each golf course is the Native Terrain. "Sure you've golfed St Andrews, but you'd never be able to handle Las Vegas. They have cactuses. And it's all rocky desert floor. I still golfed my best game ever there."- some Golf dude in a better future

Please read this article about Lava Links golf course in Washington State, describing it as both "the world's worst golf course" and "the most environmentally friendly golf course in the world"
