    A thing that makes me mad is that previews for movies are no longer called previews - WHICH IS WHAT THEY ARE.

    Previews are called trailers! What the hell is that about and why did that wording even start? What was wrong with calling a preview a preview?! Why did they have to change it to watch a "trailer". That doesn't even make sense to me.

    But whatever...I STILL call watching a preview, a preview.

    Lol Lynn.
    A trailer is something towed so it makes sense for it to /follow/ the movie rather than preview it. :p or a trail is something left by a moving object, so again it /follows/ said object. Hehe.

    And when you go to a cinema it's not a preview or a trailer... Noooo. It's a "coming attraction" :p

    Inner cities can definitely be scary after dark. With suspicious looking people lurking around and enough seclusion. Though i tend to blend in most cities. An all white southern small town would probably scare me more. For different reasons than most here.

    A little late to the convo, but oh well.

    I like where I live out in the burbs, and I agree with total darkness I wouldn't want to live in an all-white town in the south especially if I were deflower one of their white southern belles -
    they just might hang a brother.

    BTW I would be doubly concerned if they were wearing MAGA hats.

    Trailer is the original term, used for a century. Called that because it was shown after the feature film in a cinema, long before there was television or the internet. The film before the feature is called the leader.

    But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they may be played; our peaceful acres, however frequently they may be converted into battlefields; our dreams however rarely they may be accomplished. The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses.

    That always happens at traffic lights and then I'm the one who gets the red light again. Assholes. :p
    And I don't like people that stay at one shelf reading every direction on every thing they're looking at. I understand people have a different sense in doing things but I always research before I go out so I don't hog the whole shelf somebody else wants to use! And then they creep on down at snail pace getting in the road of everyone.

    Research. In. Out. Home.

    Done.

    People who text and drive, and start swerving into my lane. I'm not judging you for texting and driving, you do you. But, don't get into an accident!

    So-called water saving toilets that you have to flush 3 times to make sure it all goes down. Whoever engineered this and marketed it is an asshole! They trick environmentalists into buying new toilets that waste water.

    on a similar note, when you're in the passing lane but at the back of a line because there's vehicles driving side by side 15 miles below the speed limit, and someone in front of you keeps letting semis into the passing lane in front of them so you will never ever be able to get by.

    we have a couple automatic sensor toilets at work that they put in because someone somehow convinced them that it would save water. bitch, that toilet flushes every single time i wipe!
