Good, but surprising. I'm glad Scott pulled it off. When I first heard they were making a sequel, I groaned and thought it was a stupid idea.

Glad I was wrong.

Oh wow, that scene also really shows how short Stallone is. I know that he's short in real life, but in the movies you never really notice. It was the first thing I noticed in this scene tho!

Yeah, I thought he was going back to the "real acting" parts when he did Cop Land with Deniro. He was really good in Cop Land.

But it didn't really make a splash and he went back to action movies. :/

tarantino quipped once that he’d like to do the book, with adam driver as rambo and kurt russel as sheriff.

This would be amazing.

Shut the fuck up about the woes with your ex.

Oh god, I can't tell you how many dates I've been on where the other person goes on and on about their ex. I give them 10 minutes to vent. If they keep talking about it, I find an excuse to cut things short, then let them know that I "didn't feel a connection, but good luck!."

That the older you get, the easier it is to date if you're in good shape and you know how to listen.

So don't think it's all over for you just because dating may be difficult right now.

When I was in my 20's and 30's, I was in decent shape, but pretty average looking. But at that age there are a LOT of people in decent shape who are above average looking. So lots of competition.

Hit my 40's, still in pretty good shape. Hair is a mix of gray and dark. Suddenly 30-year old women are asking me out.

I haven't changed my attitude. Haven't changed my income. Haven't changed my personality. Haven't changed my location.

I'm in my 50's now, and I get laid more than ever. I'm in an open relationship with my current GF. She just has to "approve" of the girls I date.

I 100 percent think that it's because most people in my age-range are fat as fuck, and unhealthy.

Some women like older guys for stability (I'm not racing cars or going to bars every fucking night, I'm easy to reach, like to chill, etc), and since I'm in shape, I'm suddenly popular.

And I'm not even in THAT great of shape: https://sh.itjust.works/post/27861648

Yeah, I work out and stay lean, but when I'm wearing a shirt, you don't look at me and go, "wow, that dude works out!" It's really that I'm not overweight, so that sets me apart.

This isn't a humble brag. I legit have a face like a foot: i.e. not that great looking, but functional.

It comes down to just that I'm not fat, have stability, own a house, and I'm not a serial killer. That's fucking it.

So depending on your age, just hang in there. It gets easier.

And for more immediate tips: Listen, and know how to be comfortable with small talk. Also makes the rest of your social life easier too.

And Trump would have won this time around, even if Jill Stein wouldn't have ran. That's how big his margin was. Dude, he won electoral AND popular vote.

You all need to take a look at yourselves and realize why you lost so bad. It sure as fuck wasn't because of Jill Stein. lol

This is not the time to vote 3rd party or abstain.

Looks like plenty of people ignored that advice.

You and I disagree on almost everything. But I agree with your support of slrpnk.

They even stood up for me, and almost everyone on Lemmy hates me! lol

Slrpnk is awesome. If they banned OP, then they probably had a really good reason, cuz they are pretty laid back over there.
