The old farmer

All the men who went to war came back with a million dollars. The neighbor said bad luck, the farmer said maybe. All the money that was given to the soldiers was laced with poison. Theneighbor said good luck. The farmer said maybe.

I need to get out more.

also for some serious advice:

What I did was I got a new hobby, namely board games. I use meetup.com and I found a few board game groups in my area and I just showed up. People are generally friendly to newcomers at such things. Anyway, I did that for like two years and finally made friends with one person there. Isn't that crazy? I wasn't even trying to, I just wanted to play more board games.

What I'm saying is, sometimes if you broaden the horizons of what you enjoy, it will also broaden your social circile, though it may take a real long time if you're antisocial like me.

I like to give people complaints. Just the little things like โ€˜I like your shoesโ€™ or saying happy Friday to people.

If I compliment someone's shoes, what if they think I am able to talk shoes? If they start about pumps and slides and whatever, I'll just stand there looking stupid.

People tend not to change the subject so suddenly, in my opinion. Pumps are used to push air or water or fuel from one area into another area via mechanical means. While slides are a mode of transportation that relies completely on gravity.

So not much to do with shoes !!!

Alien Covenant is not a good movie and we should stop watching new Alien films because it is so bad.

I laughed hysterically at this:

In response to the request: Can someone please explain David's motivations during Prometheus and then Covenant??

"He hates daddy because he made him to pour tea. So he decides he is better. He then decides he can create better life. But instead of creating intelligent life, he steals existing tech and does not create anything. And instead of being a great being, he comes up with a semi intelligent parasite species. He does not create anything and what he comes up with is not half as capable as the engineers creation (humans) or human creation (david himself). It is totally idiotic and makes anyone with half a brain say "what the ****fuck? This makes no sense?" Covenant further confuses the David storyline with the opening. So David had these superior thoughts from the moment he "woke up". But he does not do anything about them for 50 years until he happens to find black goo. Now all of a sudden he becomes a mass murderer. It is pretty *******fucking stupid. David is really smart write, so why does he not understand he is not creating anything? We know the black goo turns even worms into alien like killing machines. Sooooo him mixing black goo, which happens to do anything the script seems fit for it to do at the time, is not creation. Fires burns, so if I take fire and start using it to burn things, the end result is not a creation, it is just what fire does to things. The fact that this is lost on David totally ruins the entire driving force of Pro and Cov. They suck, and the Daddy issue android thing sucks."

Broadly agree with most of what ya'll have said. I see we're all on the right side of history on this question.

I thought prometheus was confusing but intriguing and it had some cool scenes. But covenant took everything that was interesting about prometheus and just threw it in a dumpster fire and gave us the most generic and predictable plot possible.
