My second WTF for today:

The first entry.

Stocks
ISIS

Someone is promoting a ticker with the name ISIS? This monday? Is this a joke? I've literally never heard of it before, nor do real companies get promotions listed on this site.. I feel like it's a joke.

[SealyStar]

When ISIS came into the news, I thought it itself was a joke. The name sounded like something straight outta GI Joe.

I wish I could make the Chocolate Cake from Matilda

I never seen a chocolate cake look soo good.

I mean sure, I've seen chocolate cake with great looking icing... but I never seen a cake where even after you cut into it, it looks like it will just melt in your mouth.

Or Archer, perhaps.

But yeah, I read about ISIS earlier. Completely forgot what it was.

Holy crap Transformers Age of Extinction actually felt like they were trying to make the movies better quality. Sure it was still Michael Bay quality but

-Barely any of the stupid humor was in sight
-The Transformers characters actually had personalities and conversations with both each other and the humans.
-No Shia Labeouff
-One of the villains actually got some amount of character development
-No US Military propoganda gratuitousness. In fact they're kinda painted in a negative light.
-You can actually kinda sort of tell what's happening during the fight scenes.

Of course there were a ton of missed opportunities but it was still surprisingly improved compared to the two previous.

Spoiler: Bad things (click to show/hide)

The Dinobots barely did anything. In fact their presence was only explained in like a couple lines of dialogue that were hard to understand thanks to the voice distortion decepticon characters have
Still long scenes in which nothing important occurred.
The artificial transformers cube shifting swarm gimmick got old reeeeaaaaal fast and felt kinda lazy
Drift was really underutilized compared to the other Autobots
Brain dissapears and reappears inconstantly and is kinda forgotten immediately after he exposits what he has to say. Not that he's someone to be missed, but it just tugs at your brain a bit.
That whole creators of the transformers subplot seemed kinda stupid and inconsistent with the already established lore unless they're planning to introduce the Quintessons
This movie is basically the culmination of all the murderous face ripping Movie Optimus Prime jokes. The Autobots as a whole are all kinda psychotic due to all the traumatic crap they've gone through and its uncomfortable to watch. Specially looking back at the first movie when they discussed how violent humans are and instead of agreeing with the angry Autobots Optimus replied with "Were we so different?". Compared to this one where he goes on angry tirades about how they've given up on humans and totally kills a guy in the finale.
MICHAEL BAY DEMANDS EXPLOSIONS AND ACTION SCENES CONSTANTLY WITHOUT END

[Xantalos]

Would you recommend it?

[Furtuka]

I honestly have no idea. I guess it's worth a watch if you found the other movies entertaining/stomacheable. It's not a utter pile of crap at the least.

[Kamin]

Would you recommend it?

Everything I'd read about it up until now had been overwhelmingly negative.

[Xantalos]

The consensus seems to be:
Pros: it's a Michael Bay wet dream not done badly
Cons: it's a Michael Bay wet dream not done badly

-No US Military propoganda gratuitousness. In fact they're kinda painted in a negative light.

I dunno, that seems to be consistent with all of the Transformer films so far. The military and the government were pretty stupid and unreasonable.

Somehow I became class?homeroom president (The translated word does mean class, but in Korea class doesn't mean the entire student body, but rather the roughly 1/15th of it that I am with on a daily basis) of semester 2. Woo?


Also 30 degrees of sweltering, moist heat.

[LordSlowpoke]

well you're a more popular girl than you give yourself credit for i guess

that or they just assumed you're strong enough to go through hell like the rest of them and then go through additional hell because hey you can handle it

either way it's proof of your quality qualities and their existence

[Eric Blank]

Hot and moist. Oh joy, I know your pain.

Also, class in American English can refer to both all of the students of a given grade level or predicted to graduate a given year, and the sub-selection of students in a classroom learning from a given teacher at a time. All of whom aren't necessarily in the same grade.
