They’re pretty arrogant too—at least that was my experience living in Austin.

Just pick up some books in the local language. You'll be fluent in a week, easy.

If you're looking at natural sciences or anything math-related...😱

The guy dictates the problems, says "sixty-fifty" and I write down 65. I could never get used to that weird way of talking.

I mean biology. And what else is "sixty-fifty" if it isn't 65? 😕

like "y'all" or specific regional numbers and stuff, but you'll pick it up eventually

BTW: why go to UT Austin? 😱

Honestly, I'm lost. I want to study biology. At UT Austin, there's no entrance exam 👏, it's cheap as hell 👏, and there's a 99% chance I'll get in since they mostly look at my junior year grades and SAT scores—which, fingers crossed, will all be straight As. 😉
Plus, four of my buddies already signed up for UT, so once I arrive, I'll already know where the good food is, where the hot people hang out, and all that. 😁

Guys, how brutal is this language? If I sign up for a class, am I looking at a long grind just to grab the basics before heading to college in Denver? 🤔

What are you listening to? in Music · Sep 17, 2003

Hehe...sounds better if you say "Hands bleeding, breaking glasses" 😁 But whatever..... Anyway... 😉

I voted for folk, pop, and Rock. Mostly because I dig everything from Bruce Springsteen and Journey to bits by Britney Spears or Selena Gomez, plus some Gunna, Nirvana, and Bradley Cooper...
I'll listen to anything as long as it isn't techno, provided I actually like it. Only thing is, I don't know where to put someone like The Cave... or U2... maybe Rock? Hmm...

In the US movie dub: "At my signal, release the fire." 😱 😱 🙏 🙏 🙏 😁

p.s. Peter Morris58.. it's not "at my signal.." it's "on my signal..." 🙂

But I'm pretty sure he actually says AT... whatever, doesn't matter much....

Release the fire?? 😲 oh my god 🙄

The other two are easy picks—Galaxy Quest and Mars Attacks.

Here’s my contribution. Both quotes from the same flick:

You think god belongs only to you? He doesn't. God is an immortal spirit who belongs to everybody, to the whole world. You think you're special? God is not an Israelite.

and

God loves me. I know he loves me. I want him to stop.

Hm. Is there actually a movie called "The Bible"? 😁

I honestly have no clue where that’s from. I haven't known a single one of these until now, I'm terrible at this. But I'm genuinely curious how many seconds will pass before someone drops the line: "at my signal unleash hell"

btw, how do you guys even know all this stuff??

Just send it. I was thinking about card games—you know, people hanging out in a room, chatting, tossing cards around 😁

Therefore, just SEND IT 😉

BTW, can someone actually explain this movie to me??????

Pacino isn't really playing the game here😢 Why the angry face at the start of your post?

Is that some computer glitch? Just screenshot it and send it over😁

Mafia? You mean the one with the cards, the deals, and running the streets day and night? Jooooooj, I live for that game. 👍

Henry Barrett11, you're acting weird. You're really skipping a movie just because I said two sentences about it? Please. It’s great. Stop being dense and just watch it.

I've seen both Minority Report and Phone booth.

Is Pacino a double agent? For who? How? Seriously, just hit me up in a DM so you don't spoil it for everyone else.😛
